Legislation to Watch

Your voice counts!  We value your opinion and will include you to the many others like you in our efforts to advocate on behalf of your business’s best interest.  Our two main categories of legislative oversight pertaining to transportation and environmental causes.

Advocating for the Success of Independent Automotive Repair Shops and Tire Dealers

Legislation can significantly impact the operations and profitability of repair shops, tire stores, and distributors of industry related products. Laws and regulations affect multiple types of services a small business can offer, ex; technician training and certification, in addition to the equipment and tools that a shop must use. Staying informed and engaged in the legislative process will provide owners the tools to monitor laws and regulations affecting their businesses to be fair, reasonable, and support the continued growth of our industry. While it is time consuming and difficult for business owners to keep track of every bill introduced, and new regulations that arise, we can help you be compliant and avoid penalties and fines. The ASTA staff works hard to provide you with the information you need to stay informed.
