The Future of MWACA

Many ASA affiliates have left to “join forces” with MWACA—here’s what that means

BY PAUL HODOWANIC

Over the last six months, there has been widespread upheaval within the Automotive Service Association (ASA) following the installation of a new membership model that dissolved the existing affiliates in favor of a regional model that is overseen by ASA National.

As a direct result, nearly all of its preexisting affiliates, other than ASA Colorado, have cut ties with the organization. And while several of those affiliates are still planning what their next steps will be, several of them have already decided. Within the last several months, ASA Northwest, ASA Illinois, ASA Pennsylvania and ASA Texas have all announced their intentions to join forces with the Midwest Auto Care Alliance (MWACA).
