Member Network
Running a small business can be challenging, but as an ASTA member, you gain access to a community of peers and industry experts ready to help your business grow. With more vehicles on the road than shops, we see each other as collaborators, not competitors.
Modern vehicles are increasingly complex, and no one has all the answers — that’s why our members share best practices, industry insights, pricing strategies, and operational tips. Together, we support each other to serve customers better and succeed.
Join us to connect, learn, and thrive in the automotive aftermarket industry.
Legislative Affairs
ASTA helps us advocate as one, powerful voice when called upon by our state legislators. While it is time-consuming and difficult for business owners to keep track of every bill introduced, and new regulations that arise, ASTA can help you be compliant and avoid penalties and fines. ASTA advocates for the industry and we want to hear from you on what concerns you have.
Training and Social Events
We provide world-class training and events to keep you ahead of industry trends. Our annual ASTA Expo features three days of expert-led technical and business sessions, with over 50 seminars covering everything from electric vehicle diagnostics to management and marketing. In addition, Fueling Connections offers an exclusive owner and manager retreat, while regional workshops and online sessions provide ongoing opportunities for professional development and networking.
Apprenticeship
Investing in the future of your business is crucial to its success, especially in the aftermarket industry. The North Carolina Automotive Apprenticeship Program is an excellent way to do just that. By participating in this program, you can mentor and develop the next generation of automotive technicians while benefiting from their part-time work at your shop.
Vendor Discounts
As a member of the Automotive Service & Tire Alliance, you can save thousands with exclusive pricing and rebates from top industry vendors on parts, uniforms, shop software, waste management, and more. We know how important it is to reduce costs while running your business, and our discount programs are designed to help you do just that.
