The Automotive Service Association (ASA) announces five new associate members have recently joined the association, while two members have renewed their status. The decision to become an associate member displays a strong commitment to ASA and its efforts to serve the automotive service and repair industry – including its many dedicated independent repair professionals.
New associate members joining ASA during the third quarter of 2009 include:
• Automotive Franchise Systems
• Blackburn Hubcap & Wheel Inc.
• Redline Detection LLC
• RepairPal Inc.
• Yodel Inc.
In addition, two renewing ASA associate members during the third quarter of 2009 are National Alliance of Paintless Dent Repair Technicians and PH2 Solutions Inc.
The associate category of ASA membership is designed for companies or groups that supply goods, services or equipment to the industry, especially to ASA’s regular category of membership – businesses that perform automotive repair services. ASA’s full list of associate members can be found on the ASA Web site, www.ASAshop.org. The associate member list is categorized according to the products or services the member provides to the industry. From air systems and tools to wheel alignment systems, associate member categories run the gamut in the automotive service and collision repair industries.
“It’s a sincere pleasure to welcome ASA’s newest associate members, and welcome back our renewing associates. These businesses serve our shop-level members on a day-to-day basis and creating opportunities for these two segments to come together is mutually beneficial to all parties, especially in these economic times,” says B.J. Johnson, ASA’s vice president of membership services.
RepairPal Inc., an associate member listed above, is also one of ASA’s newest sponsored benefit providers and offers a 10 percent discount on AppointmentsPlus products to eligible ASA member businesses.
