The Automotive Service Association (ASA) has announced that its members - through an agreement with ALLDATA - are now eligible to receive even greater price reductions on ALLDATA's electronic diagnostic and repair information for professional service providers. ASA members qualify for discounts on initialization fees as well as reduced costs on monthly subscription fees.

"We've enhanced our agreement with ALLDATA so ASA national members may enjoy even greater savings on their ALLDATA subscriptions," said John Scully, ASA's executive vice president. "Offering an online or DVD platform, ALLDATA brings OEM diagnostic and troubleshooting information directly to independent repair facilities. No matter which vehicles you specialize in, you have immediate access to comprehensive OE information."

ALLDATA's mission is to provide high-quality information and solutions to complement the expertise of automotive service professionals, helping them maximize profitability, efficiency and long-term relationships with their customers. Direct OE agreements ensure the quality of the ALLDATA system, which includes maintenance schedules, recall notices and technical service bulletins, among other features. The ALLDATA subscription also includes ServiceCenterSM shop management software, integrated parts catalog and electronic parts ordering programs, and new customer acquisition and retention tools.

To begin taking advantage of the discounted program pricing, ASA members should contact ALLDATA at (800) 697-2533 or the ASA membership department at (800) 272-7467, ext. 295. ASA members currently using the ALLDATA system should contact ALLDATA account services at (800) 859-3282 to inquire about ASA pricing.
