Chris Elkendier from TRA will discuss how Chrome Care is different from other warranty providers. From the way they stock parts, to the ability to do self-repair with a parts locker. TRA even provides weathertight shipping containers and allows student based repair programs at your district. Join us and learn why no district has ever cancelled a Chrome Care agreement in the 7+ years it has existed.
