Value of an ASA Membership
As a savvy automotive repair shop owner, you expect a good return on investment (ROI). And one of the best investments you make in your business is your membership fee when you join ASA. It provides plenty of valuable member benefits that will continue Driving Your Success!
ASA offers membership benefits in five key areas:
- Networking
- D.C. Representation
- Education/Training
- Industry Resources/Information
- Reduced Business Costs
Networking with Successful Shop Owners
As an ASA member, you’ll be in the great company of owners from some of the top shops in the nation, recognized for their continued success and always eager to share their best practices, as well as support initiatives that advance your business and the industry.
Listen to these testimonials from current members on the Value of ASA:
D.C. Representation for Mechanical & Collision Repairers
ASA is the only trade association that employs a full-time lobbyist in the nation’s capital to represent mechanical and collision repairers. Your membership dollars will help support the work of our Washington, D.C., office that constantly monitors federal and state legislative activity to provide regular updates about proposed legislation.
ASA fights for your interests and alerts you to the potential ramifications of legislative decisions for all independent automotive repair shops. By joining ASA, you increase our strength in numbers!
Here’s a Facebook Live that Bob Redding, our D.C. lobbyist, did recently on legislation in Missouri that would do away with its state vehicle inspections:
