Education Workshops

• Our Educational Chairs regularly schedule workshops-taught by highly-respected experts in the field-that offer members and their employees’ valuable hands-on education within the auto repair industry. Examples of our more popular workshops include: Management Skills, Hybrid Training, Lab Scope Training, Driveability, OBDII, and Fuel Evaporation Testing.
  
  The cost for these workshops is greatly reduced for our members.

Informative Meetings

• We hold Dinner Meetings on the third (3rd) Wednesday of alternating months at Marie Callender's Restaurant in Anaheim Hills (5711 E. La Palma; Imperial Hwy. & La Palma). You'll hear great speakers, mix with other members (exchange ideas, tips, techniques, short cuts, etc.), gain valuable information, and hear the latest information in the automotive repair industry. The cost is a reasonable $20.00 for a great dinner.

Shop Nights

• These free meetings are very popular with our members. Replacing several of our Dinner Meetings throughout the year, they are hosted at either a member's shop or at a variety of industry-related businesses (Gallio Motor Sports, ARI, etc.), they include a short tour of the facility, a light meal, then a brief talk. Plus, the more casual setting of these Shop Nights allows members, techs, and guests to comfortably network-talk shop, if you will-and thus create valuable industry-related camaraderie.

State Representation

• With ASCCA headquarters based in Sacramento, they stay on top of the latest laws governing our industry. Included is a paid lobbyist whose primary function is to defend and support our industry each and every day. This is a very important benefit - especially in today's business climate where we must continually "fight" against the auto dealers and manufacturers.
  
  And, members of ASCCA have FREE legal counsel. Yep, one of the benefits of belonging to ASCCA is that you can call our Riverside-based legal counsel and receive 1/2 hour of free legal advice regarding your business.

Chapter-to-Member Communication

• All Chapter 48 members receive our monthly newsletter prior to our Dinner Meetings and/or Shop Nights. The newsletter-which includes a member roster-is designed to help keep you up to date with the latest news and technology in the automotive repair industry. Plus, we routinely send out E-Mail Blasts, informing members of the latest news regarding our industry, chapter meeting reminders, etc. Included with every newsletter is speaker information on the next Dinner Meeting or Shop Night.
  
  Last - but certainly not least - is our website . . . . www.ascca48.com
  
• Take a minute and check out our website. It's easy to scroll through and has many, many industry-related links. For example, if you have a labor-related question, just click on the CA Labor Standards site in the right margin and there you are! Want to connect with ASCCA’s home office, ASE, or the DMV? They're also just a click away. On the Home Page, front and center, is our 2008 Calendar and most recent newsletter (in .pdf format), and archived within this site are past issues of our newsletter.
