Future ASA Members
Value of an ASA Membership
As an automotive repair shop owner, you expect a good return on investment (ROI). One of the best investments you can make for your business is the $330 membership fee to 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. ASA continues to add additional opportunities, both virtual and live, to develop and build these relationships.
D.C. Representation for Mechanical & Collision Repairers
ASA is the only trade association that employs a full-time representative in the nation’s capital to act on behalf of mechanical and collision repairers. Your membership dollars support the work of our Washington, D.C., office team 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 and the power of our One Voice.
Here’s a Facebook Live that Bob Redding, our D.C. representative, shared on legislation in Missouri that would do away with its state vehicle inspections:

As a member, you gain access to ASA’s network of industry-leading trainers and educators who can keep you ahead of the curve. Monthly webinars and special podcast topics cover areas of interest to both mechanical and collision shops, and ASA's Training Circuit events are live at locations across the country.
