Just like any industry, the tire and automotive maintenance sector is constantly evolving. Vehicles are advancing with new technologies, and as dealers learn new processes and tech, we're committed to enhancing their efficiency. Think of how consumerism has evolved - Consumers now want to do everything online—searching for tire shops, ordering tires, booking appointments etc. At ASA, we're evolving too, making it possible for tire shops to provide information and booking options 24/7. Imagine shopping for tires at midnight, pretty relatable right? Our goal is to connect databases, point-of-sale systems, and consumer information seamlessly online. This is the evolution of our tire and automotive maintenance industry, and at ASA we're here to bridge the gap. Check out this intriguing video of Dave Vogel discussing the industry's shift and how ASA is evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing tire and automotive repair world. Watch now. #ASAAutomotive
