Are you all set for a successful 2019? The New Year is the perfect time to start fresh. If you’ve been meaning to start the process of adopting or switching shop management software, why not start off the year on the right foot by checking a resolution off your list?

We know finding new software to manage your tire and auto service business can be overwhelming. There are so many factors that play a role in determining exactly which features you need. But just like millions of people every year, we’ve also made a list to help start the year off right. However, our list isn’t of New Year’s Resolutions, it’s the shop management software checklist to help you determine which software is best for your business.

Higher interest rates, lowering dealership incentives, and rising prices could all be factors that will cause new vehicle sales to fall in 2019.

ASA Automotive Systems is proud to announce it serves 13 dealers on the newly-published 2018 Modern Tire Dealer Top 100, the industry magazine’s annual list of top 100 independent tire dealers in the U.S. The list was published in August and represents the retail, commercial, and wholesale marketplace.

You know the assets that drive your tire and auto services business are the tools that deliver quality service that keep your customers coming back for more. The alignment rack, for example, the air compressor, or your oil caddy — these are the essential tools for your business that drive sales. But it’s not just that you have them, it’s what you do with them that matters. Everyone has technicians, but not all have expert technicians.
