“Earlier this year, I did a Facebook Live session to the automotive repair industry that included some of my goals for ASA,” said Fisher. “The most important one that I emphasized was to recognize the professionals within our industry by listening to their concerns and offering solutions to them. I thank MobileSoft and my team for working diligently in a relatively short time to develop this awesome app for the repair industry in preparation for the ASA Annual Meeting.”
