Companies can choose to join the Auto Care Association as a General Member, and for no additional charge, affiliate with one of the Company Communities shown below to take advantage of certain, community-specific benefits. Auto Care Association communities exist to connect, support, and advance professionals across the auto care industry by bringing together members with shared roles, interests, or business challenges.
Their core purpose is to:
