Membership Benefits
Here is exactly what your MABA membership delivers today, and where we are headed next. We keep the two clearly separated, because you deserve to know precisely what your dues buy the day you join.

MABA membership is an investment in your business and in the future of Michigan's collision repair industry. The benefits below are grouped into two honest categories: what is included and active today, and what we are actively working to add as the association grows. No guesswork, and no fine print.
These benefits are active the moment your membership is approved. Nothing here is aspirational.
MABA represents Michigan collision repair shops in the state capitol, advocating for legislation that protects shops and the consumers they serve.
Timely updates when bills affecting the collision repair industry are introduced or move through the legislature.
Ready-to-use correspondence so you can contact your own state representatives on the issues that matter to your shop.
Collective representation on the issues facing Michigan's collision repair community, so shops are no longer speaking alone.
A professional window insignia identifying your shop as a member of Michigan's collision repair association.
A certificate for your lobby or office that reinforces your shop's professionalism and standing.
A listing on michiganaba.org so consumers can find MABA member shops in their area.
Use the MABA member logo in your own advertising, website, and marketing to build consumer confidence.
Every MABA Regular Member location is enrolled in national membership with the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS), included in your dues. Through your SCRS membership, you gain access to programs SCRS has built for its members nationwide:
The healthcare and 401(k) programs are administered by SCRS, not MABA. Because of the scale of SCRS's national membership, these are among the strongest programs available to collision repair businesses, and your MABA Regular membership is your door to them. Included with Regular Membership at every location.
These benefits are in active development. They depend on the association's growth and on partnerships we are working to secure. We list them here so you can see where MABA is headed, not as a promise of current availability.
We are working to secure group purchasing power on the everyday expenses that affect your bottom line, from shop supplies and equipment to services collision shops rely on. By leveraging the collective strength of Michigan's collision repair community, MABA aims to deliver savings that help justify the cost of membership. Details will be shared as partnerships are finalized.
We are pursuing discounted access to industry training and certification for member shops and their technicians, to help raise the bar across the industry while lowering the cost of keeping your team current. Details will be announced as agreements are reached.
As membership grows, MABA will host an annual conference, webinars and workshops, regional meetups, a member forum, and peer mentoring that connects newer shop owners with experienced operators. These build a stronger, more connected Michigan collision repair community.
MABA intends to promote public awareness of consumers' right to choose their own repair shop and to demand safe, complete repairs, building trust in MABA member shops across the state.
The benefits above start the day your membership is approved, and they grow as the association grows. Add your shop to the founding voice of Michigan's collision repair industry.
