ASA Launches Annual
‘How’s Your Business?’Survey
ASA's yearly "How's Your Business?" survey is open. Now in its 17th year, the annual business survey of ASA member-shops provides a snapshot of the automotive service and repair industry and showcases the independent segment – the primary market of the ASA membership base. Survey data captures how repair facilities are doing in terms of sales, profits, salaries and other key elements of daily business operations.
 All ASA shop-members are encouraged to participate in this year's survey, which has been updated and moved to an online format. In addition, one ASA member will be randomly selected from a drawing of all participants who complete the core survey to receive a $250 VISA gift card.
