Repco Authorised Service (RAS) has announced that all 330 independent automotive workshops in its network have joined the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA).

RAS National Manager, Peter Webb, believes AAAA membership will further reinforce the RAS group.

“As a group we are always seeking ways to grow the resources and facilities that can help strengthen our members businesses,” Mr Webb said.

“Joining the AAAA, the only truly independent aftermarket industry body makes sense, will help archive this objective.

“The AAAA are working tirelessly to secure the future of the service industry through the Choice of Repairer campaign and RAS fully support their efforts.”

As independent business owners, RAS members appreciate the fact that AAAA membership provides not only a voice that will petition Governments on their behalf, but also delivers easy access to a host of valuable resources, such as HR advice and relevant news in one informed body that is dedicated to their industry.

AAAA Executive Director, Stuart Charity, believes the RAS membership is a real boon for the Association.

“Having a group the size of Repco Authorised Service commit this level of support for the Association is fantastic,” he said.

“It is clear that the services we offer will also fill a need within this group of workshops, however we know that a range of new initiatives yet to be announced, will add further value,” Mr Charity concluded.
