ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE PROVIDERS
OF PENNSYLVANIA
What We Do
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Pennsylvania (AASP-PA) is a state association supporting its members across Pennsylvania.
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Pennsylvania (AASP-PA) is a state association supporting its members across the state of Pennsylvania. Our membership is comprised of mechanical, collision, and towing shop owners, educators and others associated with the automotive industry.
As an alliance, we turn individual voices into a collective whole. We gain buying power, a bigger presence for legislative decisions, and the ability to share innovative ideas with each other you may not be able to accomplish otherwise. The Alliance was formed for the betterment and collective power of small businesses.
Additionally, we are affiliated with the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP), our national association. The AASP works to strengthen our industry by forging strategic alliances and monitoring federal legislation and regulations. In these footsteps, AASP-PA works to do the same for the Keystone state.
AASP-PA has three divisions: Mechanical, Collision, and Towing. Each division has its own directors and officers, holds its own meetings, and serves as advocates for their area of expertise in the automotive repair industry.
While we are located in central Pennsylvania, we are able to provide personal support and contract via our office staff and dedicated board members.
AASP-PA hosts numerous events throughout the year, including seminars, social outings, an annual training weekend (TOOLS), and delegate meetings. All events are open to members and non-members alike. In fact, those unfamiliar with AASP-PA are encouraged to attend. Click here to find a current schedule of AASP-PA events. We look forward to seeing you soon!
