Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic Auto Care Alliance announce new collaborative direction
Kansas City, Mo.—The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Pennsylvania (AASP-PA) and the Mid-Atlantic Auto Care Alliance (MAACA) have announce a new collaborative direction aimed at enhancing support, resources, and advocacy for Pennsylvania’s automotive service professionals. After more than 10 years of separation, the two organizations have come back together.
As of January 1, 2025, all AASP-PA members will continue their engagement through MAACA, gaining access to an expanded suite of member benefits, training programs, and community events.
With AASP-PA officially dissolving as of December 31, 2024, members will be welcomed into the MAACA network and can look forward to streamlined resources that will support their professional growth and provide stronger advocacy for industry issues.
“This is a monumental step forward,” said Bret Fadely, President of AASP-PA. “By aligning with MAACA, we’re ensuring our members receive the best possible support, whether through enhanced training programs, chapter activities, or community-building events. Our industry is evolving quickly, and we must remain unified and proactive. This collaboration will allow us to do that effectively while strengthening our voice at the legislative level. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.”
“I am incredibly proud to have worked alongside the exceptional leaders of AASP-PA and MAACA over the past year to facilitate this landmark unification,” stated Sheri Hamilton, Executive Director of the Auto Care Alliance. “Bringing these two dedicated organizations back together after more than a decade not only strengthens our community but also renews our collective commitment to supporting independent automotive service professionals in Pennsylvania. This collaboration is a testament to the power of unity in advancing our industry’s growth and resilience, and I am eager to see the positive impact it will have on our members and the entire independent service sector.”
Through this alliance, members will enjoy the added benefits of MAACA’s network, expanded benefits and resources, and shared events, including annual highlights like T.O.O.L.S. and Super Saturday, which will remain cornerstones of training and networking for all involved. In addition, the association will have programs for its three divisions: mechanical, collision, and towing.
“Our team at MAACA is thrilled to welcome the AASP-PA community,” said David Wagner, President of MAACA. “This partnership strengthens our collective ability to serve the needs of independent automotive professionals across the region. Our shared mission is to elevate industry standards, foster growth opportunities and offer tools that help shop owners and service providers thrive. We’re eager to support our new members in Pennsylvania and build an even more vibrant community together.”
Members can expect further details about the new benefits and resources available through MAACA within the coming weeks. AASP-PA members can join now and receive membership through December 31, 2025, for $430. Visit www.midatlanticaca.org to join. Mid-Atlantic Auto Care Alliance plans future chapter expansions throughout Pennsylvania and into their territories of Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware.
