2025-26 has been a watershed year for AASRA

With so much happening on so many fronts, AASRA Executive Officer Joe McFadries provides the following AASRA update for the industry.
“Our subscriber base has stabilised at the 3,000 mark, which includes significant growth in both EV and VSP upgrades, predominately as the complexity of the car parc continues to change and members turn to AASRA for access and support,” Joe said.
“In addition, our customer service levels have further improved, reflected by the ongoing reduction in tickets raised and in missing information reports created.
“The year also marks a continuation of the growth in organisations joining us as participating brands, reflecting our team’s efficient and effective support resulting in more streamlined subscribers’ access to service and repair information. Brands such as Foton, GAC International, LeapMotor, Repairify, and Zeekr have all joined the AASRA network this year.
“Simultaneously, to further enhance the AASRA value proposition, our subscriptions team has initiated a project to update the data providers’ navigation guides on our website to further improve the accessibility of scheme information from participating brands.
“To accelerate this project and ensure as seamless a process as possible, we have expanded the team to further add value to both our subscribers and our participating brand partners, which is a critical aspect of the role of scheme advisor.
“As the number of automotive brands operating in Australia is expected to keep growing for the foreseeable future, our hands-on collaborative approach will be critical to our success and the success of the MVIS scheme.
“Based on our performance and our stable, sustainable business model, the Department of Treasury has reappointed AASRA as scheme advisor until June 2027.
“As we continue to engage with the industry, come and see us on our stand, L05, at the upcoming at the upcoming Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo (AAAExpo) on 14 to 16 May in Melbourne.
“We will be happy to illustrate what we do and how we do it, and more importantly, show you the benefits of an AASRA subscription.”
