ASA serves an international membership base that includes numerous affiliates, state and chapter groups from both the mechanical and collision repair segments of the automotive service industry. 
  

 WHAT IS ASRW?

   ASRW LOGOAutomotive Service & Repair Week (ASRW) was created in 2008 with the overall goal of bringing together buyers and sellers of automotive products and services in one venue that includes both education and trade show activities. ASRW continues to grow and include activities for other organizations' industry segments and events with the goal of creating a "mega" service and repair event that will touch all aspects of the automotive service and repair industry.

As part of this initiative, CARS and NACE (International Autobody Congress & Exposition) are now co-located to create an industry-wide event that includes both the mechanical and collision segments of the automotive service and repair industry. Each event continues to maintain its unique market identity, providing focused offerings specifically targeting each respective industry segment.

ASRW | CARS | NACE allows the service, collision and auto glass professionals to benefit from all the events -- during the same week and in the same venue.
