NJ Auto Body License renewals are due in by the end of September 2006. Check the Members Only Section of the AASP/NJ Website for assistance with renewing your Auto Body License.
Applying for or renewing a New Jersey auto body license can be a daunting task. Complying with certain provisions of the law can be even more troublesome especially if the shop has not kept up with the changes in the law.
The AASP/NJ recognizes the difficulty shop owners are often faced with at renewal time and will assist members in good standing to get through the process. Due to a more active role in the collision industry, the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission has made full compliance with the law a must. Those that are not complying with the law could be subject to fines or even suspension of their licenses. AASP/NJ has held numerous compliance seminars in various locations throughout the state. AASP/NJ members receive a full compliance kit which includes a plain language explanation of what is required to fully comply, along with pre-designed forms and signs to bring the shop into full compliance.
AASP/NJ has a lobbyist on retainer to represent the interests of the automotive industry in Trenton. The AASP/NJ Legislative Committee works actively on behalf of the association's members, both collision and mechanical. Through our lobbyist, we frequently meet with legislators and state regulatory agencies that affect the automotive repair industry.
We constantly disseminate educational material and hold seminars for the benefit of the industry as it may relate to technical, management, or legal information. It is the goal of AASP/NJ to provide a forum for members of the industry to exchange ideas, learn new techniques, improve the quality of service provided to the public and the quality of life of those engaged in this industry.
Having a well-qualified lobbyist in Trenton allows AASP/NJ access to New Jersey legislators and provides valuable industry input on issues that would otherwise be impossible to address.

In other words, what an anti-steering device!
Because of its GPS location technology, Help I Crashed My Car™ makes it easy for the user to locate and contact the closest Police Department, Ambulance Service, Hospital, Towing Company, Rental Car Company, or Body Shop.
Help I Crashed My Car™, also provides the user with important information on what to do if involved in a car accident, what to look for in a quality auto body shop, and what the consumer’s rights are after being involved in an accident.

Problem calls are often documented providing a track record regarding recurring problems. This allows AASP/NJ to detect trends and address the issues before they get out of hand. The information obtained by the Hot Line allows the association to keep a close watch on the industry and the information can be used to substantiate the position of the association regarding laws, rules or regulations. This information can reveal if the problem is contained to one certain area, one certain company, one certain person, or if the issue is widespread.
Over the years, the Hot Line has provided answers that have meant the difference between a shop being paid for a claim or the claim being denied. There have been times when one call has resolved a claim dispute on the spot. It has meant the difference between a salvage title and a clean title on a vehicle. Calls to the Hot Line have resulted in banks signing a check, where they were refusing to sign, or holding the check, while waiting for the customer to make delinquent payments. The Hot Line has resolved betterment issues, prior damage issues, repair issues, total loss issues, towing and storage issues, delayed inspection issues, delayed payment issues, steering problems, photo inspection issues, and much more.
The Hot Line has educated many members as to their rights under certain regulations and has helped them better prepare to deal with the problems in the industry. If you have an automotive industryrelated question, call the AASP/NJ Hot Line.

AASP has partnered with Waste Management to develop a comprehensive waste services offering. As an AASP member, you are eligible for this great offer that includes nationally preferred pricing and a free waste and right-sizing audit.
Waste Management offers AASP Members preferred pricing and cost reduction for trash services, industrial non-hazardous landfill wastes, and recycling services (including cardboard, paper, and other fibers).
Service optimization can help reduce overall costs while maintaining high service levels. Waste Management will perform a “right sizing” audit to help you select the correct container size, select the correct pick-up frequency, and review options for including non-hazardous solid waste in trash stream.
Many businesses lose money by not maximizing recycling opportunities. In addition to being good for the environment, recycling can provide an opportunity to reduce waste service costs. Benefits include landfill avoidance, reduced overall costs, and resource recovery.
Each AASP member will be serviced directly by your local Waste Management operation. You will receive the benefits of national account pricing, local service guarantees, and the elimination of broke and middleman costs.
For more information on this program*, please call Tim Lasby at (866) 215-3879. He will be calling members shortly to go over the many benefits of this program. Please visit the Waste Management Web site for further information about the company.
*Note: This offer is for current AASP members who are not yet Waste Management customers. If you are a current Waste Management customer, please call Tim Lasby at (866) 215-3879 to find out what other offers you may be eligible for.
The AASP/NJ now has chapters throughout the entire state of New Jersey. This allows members to attend local chapter meetings without having to travel for hours after a hard days work. Members can join any chapter and attend any meeting in any chapter they like. AASP/NJ Chapter meetings are posted on the AASP/NJ Website to allow all members to plan ahead for the meetings they would like to attend well in advance.
The AASP/NJ Local Chapters sponsor various types of meetings including training and educational seminars that would otherwise be impossible for certain shop owners and employees to attend.
Introducing the Garage Insurance Program that you have been waiting for!
The Amato Agency proudly introduces a new dividend-producing garage insurance program to save the members of the AASP/NJ on the cost of garage insurance up front by belonging to the AASP/NJ with the potential to earn a dividend on the back end of the policy term. In other words, “The Savings are Twofold.”
This exclusive new member benefit will require active member participation to give the member the highest possible return. However, the up front savings from this exciting new program will likely be well beyond the cost to become a member of the AASP/NJ and receive this and all of the other many benefits of being a member without the cost because of the savings and save a great deal on the cost of your insurance at the same time.
With the recent depressed economic times every saving opportunity should be explored. It simply doesn’t make sense to overlook this opportunity or at least see what the savings might be. For details of the program or to get a quote, contact the Amato Agency directly at 800-763-6574 and ask for details on the new garage insurance dividend program for AASP/NJ members.
The AASP/NJ is your most effective means of knowing about and handling the legislative and regulatory issues affecting your business. Laws and regulations impact every aspect of your ability to conduct operations – business licenses, environmental requirements, consumer laws and insurer requirements. Uniting with others who share similar interests is your only practical means to be informed about and have a voice in shaping change. The AASP/NJ has a lobbyist on retainer to represent the automotive repair industry in Trenton. Through our lobbyist, we frequently meet with legislators and state regulatory agencies that affect the automotive repair industry.
Our Legislative Committee works actively to promote the concerns of the association's members, both collision and mechanical. Among our recent activities have been auto body licensing standards and enforcement; Private Inspection Facility relationships with the State; and, VOC requirements. The AASP Legislative Committee and its Chairman, Brian Vesley, often address the need to remedy the unjust conditions and small business problems that shop owners are faced with every day.
Sometimes it is just as important to prevent bad legislation as it is to initiate good legislation. Having a well-qualified lobbyist in Trenton allows the AASP/NJ access to New Jersey legislators and provides valuable industry input on issues that would otherwise be impossible to address.
It is the goal of the AASP/NJ to provide a forum for members of the automotive repair industry to exchange ideas and agree on programs to improve the quality of service provided to the public and to improve the quality of life of those engaged in this industry. Legislative Chairman Brian Vesley can be reached at 973-278-1444.

AASP/NJ is pleased to announce a brand new Interchange pricing program for all your credit card processing. After much research on all the different programs available, we have finally secured what we feel is the most cost effective program in the market. Until recently, this program was only available to merchants processing millions of transactions per year. Now through our new relationship with United Bank Card, one of the largest credit card processing companies located here in New Jersey, we are able to deliver this program to all our valued members. Here is some feedback we have received so far:
-“The new credit card program through United Bank Card and the AASP/NJ has significantly reduced our processing fees as promised. The level of service and support has been great also.” -- Edward Day, Collision Restoration
- “United Bank Card’s Interchange program is wonderful. I was skeptical at first when I heard how much I could save on this new program but when I got my first statement they were right on target. I’m now processing my checks through them as well. The level of service I receive is just as impressive.” -- Greg Dwyer , Greg and Son’s Auto Service- AASP/NJ board member
- “We signed up for this new interchange program through United Bank Card and we’re very pleased with the amount of money we are saving. Ken is doing a great job managing our account.” -- Michael Inlander, Livingston Sunoco
- “Thank you, AASP/NJ, for introducing us to Ken Racioppi and the United Bank Card Program. They even upgraded our older terminal at no cost! They have been very easy to work with and very knowledgeable.” Roberta Ferrara, Budd’s Auto Body- AASPNJ member
