Your sponsorship directly supports legislative advocacy, education, and community building for the thousands of collision repair professionals across Michigan — the people who keep families safe on the road.
Michigan, the birthplace of the American auto industry, has never had a dedicated collision repair association until now. The rules that govern how Michigan's vehicles are repaired are written in Lansing every session, often without input from the shops and technicians who do the work.
The Michigan Auto Body Association is changing that. Modeled in part on ABARI, the Auto Body Association of Rhode Island, MABA will give collision repair professionals, and the drivers they serve, a unified voice in Lansing.
As a sponsor, you gain direct access to this growing community of shop owners and industry professionals. Your brand will be associated with the most significant advancement for Michigan's collision repair industry in a generation.
