Denise Piña – ASCCA’s May Member of the Month:
Denise Piña, husband Fred, and mom Virginia, Brea Auto Body, Inc., Brea, CA

In her own words: ”Thank you for this honor from a great association with amazing members!

I remember one day, when I was young, Dad said, “I want to start my own shop.” Things were really tight, so this was a big leap of faith. In 1979, my parents started Brea Auto Body, located in North Orange County, California. Brea Auto Body has grown to a state-of-the art collision repair and paint facility; a certified green shop, ASE Blue Seal, with all of the equipment, training and services of an A+ shop, recognized locally and nationally for community service. Consumers voted us Best Auto Body Shop in Orange County twice.

Our key values include excellence in customer service, a commitment to giving back, and dedication to making our industry better.  Brea Auto Body is involved with many trade, business and charitable organizations as well as advisors to automotive colleges. We were honored with the NABC Pride Award, a national award given for humanitarian acts.

I grew up in the automotive industry – after college and a career in the Tech Industry, family brought me home and back to Brea Auto Body in 2002.

We joined ASCCA shortly thereafter. Thanks to Ira Newman who welcomed us, joining the board followed. When I think of ASCCA, I think of valuable friendships, strong, dedicated industry leaders, coming together to make a difference, and amazing people I learn from, every time we are together. We have been involved with the organization from hosting shop nights, attending Leg Day, contributing to marketing materials, legislation and more. ASCCA has embraced us as family, and I always know I can pick up the phone and ask a leader in the industry anywhere across the state a question. I am proud of our voice in government, our contributions to our industry, and to each other as shop owners. I am grateful to ASCCA and it’s members.”

ASCCA members like Denise are shining examples of how One Member CAN Make a Difference!

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS…..

There are many benefits to being a member of ASCCA. The most important benefit you can get is knowing you are among the select few automotive repair shops in the state of California who put the customer first and are willing to fly the ASCCA flag to prove it. You’ve put your badge on the table and promised to provide first class service in an honest and straight forward manner.

We all know the characterizations you labor under and we work daily to change that perception both in the minds of the public and in the minds of the legislators who govern your every move. Let’s work together to establish new standards for every member to hit and make our shops examples for the nation.
