Why Aren`t Shops Members? - AASP-MO -
JULY-AUGUST, 2016 VOLUME 20, NUMBER 12 http://www.aasp-mo.org/ “Your Partner In Success” http://www.facebook.com/AASPMissouri Why Aren’t Shops Members? Why aren’t shops members? This is a great question that we ponder quite often. There are 3850 automotive repair and service industry businesses in Missouri. These businesses employee 20,249 employees. Wouldn’t it be FCA Issues Collision Repair Position Statement Requiring Scan Tool Usage Vehicle manufacturer says its automobiles must be scanned for diagnostic trouble codes following a collision. Warns that multi-stage airbags must be scanned to confirm all initiators are exhausted. FCA USA LLC has issued a position statement that repairs should scan all vehicles that have been involved in a collision, or have had repairs performed, for diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) that may affect vehicle safety or security systems. According to the statement conditions that could trigger DTCs include: • Vehicle is involved in an accident or collision, even though the damage may appear minor • Vehicle has been in an accident with or without air bag deployment • Voltage loss, including battery disconnects and hybrid battery disabling • Significant vehicle disassembly including, but not limited to, bumpers, door handles, headlamps and mirrors Interior trim repair or removal • Glass removal and replacement operations • Air Bag Squib Status The position statement also says that “Multistage air bags with multiple initiators (squibs) MUST be checked to determine that all squibs were used during the deployment.” According to the company its multistage airbags can have up to three squibs and that while typically all are exhausted during a deployment, technicians must scan to confirm this is the case to, “…minimize the risk of improper handling or disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials.” According to the statement the procedure can be performed with a Mopr wiTech scan tool, or by a company such as Collision Diagnostic Services that can perform remote diagnostics to verify the status of the airbag squibs. reasonable to think that 40-50% of these shops would want to be a member of AASP-Missouri or ANY automotive service and repair industry trade association. Sadly that number is more like 15-18% for ALL automotive service and repair industry trade associations in the entire state. So my question is, WHY? Is it because the non-member shops know all there is to know and do not need the camaraderie of their peers? Is it because they don’t value or need the training opportunities members receive to keep them up to date and efficient? Is it because they don’t want to save money on business expenses through member only benefits? Is it because they like feeling all alone with no one on their side? Is it because this is how it’s always been for them and they see no reason to change? Is it because they don’t want anyone to represent them at all levels of government, to keep an eye on their back while they work on their businesses? Is it because they do not want to raise the bar of professionalism and image higher for themselves, their employees and businesses because it’s easier not to? Is it because they where a great technician that required very little help from others to do their job. But now have found out that they are not such a great businessman, and would rather struggle on their own instead of being comfortable enough with fellow shop owners to be able to ask for and receive help or advice? Is it because they do not want people representing them in the industry, schools and community? Is it because they don’t want people working school carrier days on their (Continued on page 5) Happy Independence Day “Investing in improving yourself always yields a profit” Page 2 – AASP-MO AUTOMOTIVATION – July-August, 2016 Published each month by AASP-MO Legislative (636) 949-5990 Update from Legislative Executive Update From Jefferson City Director RON REILING, AAM.........................................(636) 949-5990 Jefferson Association Attorney – Mary E.

Or maybe they don’t want people to represent them on industry mechanical issues like state safety and emission programs, the right to know information act, the qualified technician shortage and collision issues like paint caps and DRP mandates. Maybe they don’t like being represented on advisory boards working with the different state and federal departments and agencies. Or maybe they do not want to be kept informed of what’s going on around them in their industry and as a small business owner? Is it because they are shy or embarrassed? Is it because they don’t know their numbers, or how to figure them out or what they mean? Is it because they don’t realize the value of belonging to an industry trade association that is a grassroots, member driven and proactive industry leader? Or could it be because their neighboring member shop down the block, down the street or across town has never taken the time to share with them, how they and their business have benefited by being an active member of AASP-Missouri? Could it be that no one has ever explained what a valuable tool active membership can be? Or could be as simple as, because no one has ever invited them to attend an AASPMissouri sponsored event or a chapter meeting or a chapter clinic? Membership growth and retention is vital to any association and is 80% more effective when members recruit new members. So I invite all of our members to add “Just One” and make the effort to stop in at that neighboring shop and invite them to your next meeting or clinic offering them the opportunity to be involved. Everyone benefits, we as an association, you as a shop owner in the same community and industry and them, because no one shop knows as much or can accomplish as much as all of us together. Here is what a few members had to say: “Knowledge in Numbers.“ If I’m in need of information, I know someone in our group will be able & willing to Help. –Mike Lichtenberg Mike’s AutoCrafts, Inc. AASP membership provides an otherwise small fish the courage to voice your business concerns and know that the Association will stand behind you. It is impossible to overstate how critical a unified voice is when dealing with increasingly more powerful insurance companies. Without representation...we would eventually be overcome by the legal manipulation that has become the “Direct Repair” contract. It is unrealistic to expect that your business will be able to grow without the knowledge and experience of others in your industry. AASP gives me the confidence to identify and stand up for business inequities in these challenging economic times. AASP provides our industry with representation in Jefferson City to uphold critical values and educate those who would otherwise not be aware of our concerns. AASP representation is the vehicle that allows you to make a difference in our industry. –Jan Niezing Jr. World-Wide Car Service Hey Ron I’ll tell you why I belong and participate in our local AASPMissouri chapter. Because it is the best damn business value item available to any Automotive repair shop including and especially collision repair centers. I didn’t say back alley shops I said collision repair centers. There is a difference and I would say those that don’t participate in some kind of organization like AASP are doing more complaining then they are doing profitable repairs.

The business community, including the Auto Care Association, lobbied long and hard to persuade DOL that the rule change was too severe. Auto Care Association President and CEO Bill Hanvey released a statement last Thursday expressing the association’s perspective on the rule and its consequences. A few quick facts about the rule: • Salary Threshold Changed to $913/week ($47,476 per Year) • Duties Test is unchanged • Up to 10 percent of the salary can come from bonuses or commissions • Effective date is Dec. 1, 2016 The association, as a member of the coalition the Partnership to Protect Workplace and Opportunity (PPWO), will be advocating for the passage of the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act (S. 2707, H.R. 4773), which would nullify this rule and require DOL to perform an economic analysis of how changes to overtime regulations will impact small businesses and employers in vulnerable industry sectors before issuing a new rule. Members are also encouraged to visit the PPWO Take Action website to enlist support from their own U.S. representatives and senators. Please contact Paul Fiore at paul. fiore@autocare.org with questions or additional information on how this regulation will affect your business. IRS Releases New Online Tool to Help Employers with Healthcare Provision The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) has developed a new employer shared respon- sibility provision tool designed to help employers better understand how the Affordable Care Act’s Employer Shared Responsibility Provision (ESRP) works and learn how the provision may apply to them. The TAS announced the release last Wednesday, June 1. Under the ESRP, also known as the employer mandate, certain employers must either offer minimum essential coverage that is “affordable” and that provides “minimum value” to their full-time employees (and their dependents), or potentially make an employer shared responsibility payment to the IRS. Employers can use the TAS-ESRP Estimator to determine: • The number full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees (FTEs); • Whether they might be an applicable large employer; and • An estimate of the maximum amount of their potential liability for the employer shared responsibility payment. The IRS also offers additional information about this and other TAS estimators. Because these tools provide only an estimate, taxpayers should not expect 100 percent accuracy and should only use these estimators as a guide to assist in making tax decisions.

These are the people that can solve many of our equipment and training needs and are always there to help. How about the availability of purchasing shop insurance or health insurance with quality providers. Hey lets not forget our friends in the rental car business that are in our stores everyday. I haven’t even started yet on paint vendors who bend over backwards to bring us training and technical help year round. I can call a paint vendor that I don’t even use for an opinion or advice on a product. No way I could do that without the introduction and presence of our AASP-Missouri chapter. Let me go on about the availability to communicate with fellow members via email thru our chapter. How about the conversations that are happening now about the parts trader program. Lets not forget some of the heated debates we can have at our meetings. There is some great information and knowledge that gets shared and it is ok if we don’t agree in our chapter. The collision industry is full of people that are problem solvers and when we can share ideas and information it makes everybody there a better business person. I can say first hand that I have been able to visit or call some of our members and ask advice on situations that I was dealing with in our business. Every time I ask people were glad to share what they know. It has been a great resource for me and our business. I will also say that our biggest and best value is having RON REILING as our Executive Director. Our members sometimes forget the time and effort it takes to keep our troops going in the right direction. I say THANKS RON for all you do.!! –Dave Tritz AAM Don’s Auto Body We have been members of AASP-Missouri since the day in 1993 we opened our shop, and the relationships and guidance that we have been able to get out of this association have been immeasurable. Being able to come together with other shop owners in a constructive atmosphere has made all the difference. I would not want to navigate the waters of small business ownership without the help and support that comes from our membership and relationships in AASP-Missouri. –Barb Kinder Autotech Auto Center Please make it home safe today.
