California Automotive Business Coalition

About CalABC and CalABC Progress:

Much progress has been made by the California Automotive Business Coalition (CalABC) on your behalf. As most of you are aware, we have successfully completed the transition from the Automotive Repair Coalition (ARC) to CalABC, broadening the influence of the organization while providing more services to a much larger spectrum of the state’s aftermarket. Our ability to promote our interests in both the political arena and in our financial well-being comes from our increasing number of members.

CalABC Business Goals

• To unite the automotive industries in California for the good of the industry itself and the consumers it serves.
  
  
• To promote and safeguard California’s automotive aftermarket repair industry by shaping sound public policy while establishing and maintaining a healthy, competent and competitive automotive repair industry.
  
  
• To create the financial wherewithal to properly lobby issues of importance that either negatively impact industry or may be important for the betterment of the industry as a whole.
  
  
• To develop a sound grassroots coalition of both large corporations and small business with an effective informational web page that will help educate industry participants on issues of importance.
  
  
• To improve and promote an infrastructure to train potential automotive technicians and assure that the training adheres to acceptable standards agreed upon by the California Automotive Business Coalition, so that industry has a feeder system of new technicians.
  
  
• Most importantly, to oversee proactive consumer protection policies to improve our public persona and promote our industry as a professional trade by promoting the excellent services we provide to consumers.
