CAWA in Partnership with the National Auto Care Association
 For several years, CAWA has partnered with the national Auto Care Association to coordinate efforts to promote and protect the auto care industry. From legislative and regulatory advocacy to program development activities to strengthen the respective associations' voices for the industry, the relationship has been very beneficial. To coordinate the two associations' efforts, the Executive Vice President of the Auto Care Association (Aaron Lowe) participates on CAWA's Public Affairs Committee and our President & CEO participates on their Government Affairs Committee. Watch for additional coordinated efforts in 2016. To read more about what the Auto Care Association is doing on behalf of our industry, visit

Domestic Aftermarket Smaller But Hotter
Domestic nameplate car and light truck aftermarket competition is getting hotter, despite the shrinking share and size of the domestic nameplate aftermarket in the U.S. With foreign nameplates generating virtually all light vehicle aftermarket product growth over the next five years, domestic car and light truck product share and volume will continue to diminish. Nevertheless, competition in the shrinking domestic market sector is intensifying at the installer, wholesale, retail and brand levels.
