ASCCA Chapter 12 Events:
Trainings, Workshops & Activities
Throughout the year, ASCCA Chapter 12 hosts a series of educational and social events designed to strengthen our community, support professional growth, and build lasting relationships within the automotive service industry.
Each event provides members with opportunities to connect openly with peers — whether shop owners, technicians, or industry partners — to share ideas, discuss challenges, learn best practices, and build meaningful professional networks.
All events are conducted in accordance with the ASCCA Code of Conduct, ensuring respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environments that encourage honest conversation and professional development. Our goal is to foster engagement among member shops and their teams while creating a space where authentic relationships can develop and industry solidarity can grow. Together, we strengthen not only individual businesses, but the automotive service profession as a whole.
Below is an overview of our core annual events. Each listing links to a dedicated event page with full details, registration information, and photos from our previous gatherings.
