If you are an ASA member and have a cool website, you should let our judges take a look and decide how it stacks up against other sites.
Winning the competition has always been tough, given the quality of the competing websites and the usual big pile of entries.
Reviews of the Top 10 sites will be featured on AutoInc. Online. in the fall.
“For 22 years, AutoInc. has recognized our members for their hard work in developing super-engaging websites,” said Leona Dalavai Scott, ASA’s director of marketing and communications. “And we’re excited to do it once again, as websites are continuing to play important roles in attracting customers to shops.”

Contest History & Objective
Since 1997, AutoInc. magazine has set out to find the very best shop websites. Since its inception, AutoInc.’s annual Top 10 Automotive Repair Websites contest has served as a guide to help shop owners understand the capabilities of the internet in the automotive repair industry.
Each year, AutoInc. reviews hundreds of websites and narrows the field to what we consider the best 10. Our goal is to help other shops employ this powerful tool and show them how fellow shop owners use the web to improve productivity, enhance marketing programs and, ultimately, increase their businesses’ bottom lines.
