ASA Announces Benefit Agreement
with Airbag Solutions

ASA Members Save 20 Percent on Database Subscriptions

ASA is pleased to announce a new member benefit agreement with Airbag Solutions, an online pictorial database displaying original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements for servicing airbag and restraint systems after deployment. The Airbag Solutions database is sold in annual, one-month or one-day subscriptions and covers more than 3,500 vehicles from years spanning 1988-2010. ASA members save 20 percent on annual and monthly subscriptions.

Airbag Solutions provides photographs rather than drop-down screens or pencil sketches so users see which components are required and where they are located, allowing them to eliminate supplements, simplify airbag repairs and reduce cycle times.

"Airbag Solutions provides to the ASA member quality repair information in an easily accessible subscription format," said John Scully, ASA's executive vice president. "I am confident the addition of Airbag Solutions to our benefit portfolio will be a plus for our association."

Airbag Solutions subscribers will learn about potential peripheral damage to check, understand airbag light resetting procedures, as well as scanner and fault code information. The database also includes "field notes" from expert installers to support manufacturer data.

"We are delighted to have this opportunity to partner with ASA to bring much needed clarity to the confusing landscape of airbag service information," said Ruth Weniger, chief executive officer of Airbag Solutions.
