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. Every year, insurance lobbyists work to hold down what shops are paid, steer consumers away from the shops they trust, and cut corners on the repairs that protect Michigan families.
The Michigan Auto Body Association is changing that. Modeled after ABARI — the most successful state auto body lobbying organization in the country — MABA will give collision repair professionals a unified, powerful 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.
Across Michigan — with zero unified lobbying representation in Lansing until now.
Meanwhile, insurance companies spend millions annually influencing Michigan legislation.
The state that built the automobile industry had general and regional groups, but none focused solely on collision repair statewide. MABA changes that.
Rhode Island's model has proven that organized advocacy wins legislative battles for shops.
Three levels designed to fit a range of budgets and engagement goals. All sponsors receive recognition and direct access to Michigan's collision repair community.
