Important ASA Membership Information Every successful business monitors its operating expenses and cost of doing business. The Automotive Service Association (ASA) is no different in that regard; therefore, it is announcing a dues increase beginning January 2008. This increase will allow ASA to expand its presence as the association works to fulfill its mission of advancing professionalism and excellence in the automotive repair industry through education, representation and member services.
Act Now! To assist members in spreading the cost of membership over the entire year, rather than it all being due at one time, ASA offers a continuous membership payment option. Members may elect to pay membership dues by credit card in annual, quarterly or semi-annual payments. This payment option is convenient because once a member signs up for the program, he or she will not have to remember to write a check for ASA dues. A member's credit card statement will be receipt of payment. To take advantage of ASA's Continuous Membership payment option, please contact the ASA membership department at (800) 272-7467, ext. 295, or the accounting department, ext. 220.
