ASA has the experience and knowledge to serve your needs. As a 50-year-old not-for-profit trade association, ASA has served the needs of mechanical, transmission and collision shop owners.

  ASA provides discounts on services you need to run your business. ASA offers more than 35 different programs from various leading organizations. Any one of these programs could easily pay for your yearly membership dues.

  ASA supports positive legislation and combats proposed legislation that could harm our industry. Our full-time lobbyist spends time on Capitol Hill fighting for your rights and fights for local groups when regional issues arise. There is strength in numbers. By adding your voice to our membership rolls, ASA becomes a more effective organization.

  ASA reinvests your membership dollars in the industry. ASA contributes significantly to various industry organizations, including the Automotive Management Institute (AMI), I-CAR and NATEF. In some cases, ASA's financial contribution to the industry is second only to the major automakers.

  ASA strives to provide you with the best management training possible. We have partnered with and contribute financially to the Automotive Management Institute (AMI). AMI offers a wide variety of business courses, all designed to help you make a profit and succeed in business. Upon completion of course requirements, you receive the certification of Accredited Automotive Manager. This designation is the only one of its kind for our industry.

  ASA provides you with invaluable information. A monthly award winning magazine, newsletters, a member information center for research, a directory of members, and a web site with a consumer feature to find the nearest ASA shop are just a few of the tools at your fingertips. Many members say the information and research tools are worth the price of membership.

  ASA conventions are instructional and informative. In addition to the world's largest collision repair event, the International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE), ASA sponsors the Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) for our mechanical/transmission members, and we hold an Annual Convention for the membership. Technical and management seminars are the hallmark of ASA's meetings, providing you the opportunity to share knowledge and enhance business relationships.
