The revised dues schedule, which will take effect on Aug. 1, 2012, provides for membership dues based strictly on the number of service facilities – either company-owned or as a franchise – a company offers under its brands. The previous dues schedule provided for a membership dues fee based on the annual Automotive Aftermarket Sales Volume for the company, in addition to a fee per service location for Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program (MAP).
For most AMRA members, the revision in the dues schedule will bring a reduction in the amount each will pay in annual dues. For example, an independent service provider with one service location will have its
dues reduced from $250 annually to just $150. The majority of the large service provider companies will see little change, but most will see slight reductions in their annual dues amounts.
“By basing dues on the number of locations, rather than sales, it is easier for companies to apply for membership without having to disclose sales figures,” says Barry Soltz, president of AMRA/MAP. “This should make becoming an AMRA member and a participant in MAP more appealing to service providers across the U.S. and Canada.”
