More on Roy Schnepper

For 15 years, Roy Schnepper, AMAM, has been a steadfast leader on the Automotive Service Association (ASA) Board, making him the longest-serving board member in the organization’s history. Throughout his tenure, Schnepper has guided ASA through industry challenges, helped shape initiatives and strengthened the association’s role in advocating for repairers. His deep commitment and passion for giving back have impacted ASA and the automotive industry.

Schnepper is the president and owner of Butler’s Collision Inc. in Roseville, Michigan, a family business serving the Metro Detroit area for over 40 years. With more than 45 years in the collision repair industry, he has dedicated much of his career to improving industry standards, education and collaboration. His leadership extends beyond ASA, as he has served on the I-CAR Board of Directors, CIECA Board of Trustees, Automotive Management Institute (AMi) Board of Trustees, and the National Auto Body Council (NABC) Board. He has also been an active member of the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) and the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS).

Schnepper’s dedication to education is evident through his Master’s Accreditation from AMi, reflecting his belief in lifelong learning. “Being involved in ASA opened up opportunities to help educate me,” he says. “I’ve always believed in giving back to the industry that has given so much to me and my family.”

Before joining the ASA Board as an affiliate director in 2010, Schnepper dedicated seven years to the Collision Operations Committee. Over the next 15 years, he steadily advanced through the board’s leadership ranks, serving as secretary/treasurer, chairman-elect, and chairman. He later assumed the role of immediate past chair, a position he held for six years. Throughout his tenure, Schnepper provided stability and guidance, helping ASA navigate significant transitions and challenges, including serving the immediate past president terms of Bob Wills and Fred Hules. His deep institutional knowledge, extensive experience, and strategic insight were crucial in rebuilding the organization during pivotal moments in ASA’s history.
