ASA's Tire Dealer Bailout nears completion

Dec. 3, 2009

ASA Tire Systems' $1M Tire Dealer Bailout Program is nearing completion. Applications will be accepted through Dec. 31. The company has already exceeded $1 million in awards given to deserving tire dealers.

One-hundred-percent of the fund has been awarded, according to ASA officials. Any application received before the Dec. 31 deadline is eligible for future funding and will be reviewed.

"Dealers who are interested in applying for funding still have time and are encouraged to visit the company's Web site and fill out an application form by the end of the year. The monies are in the form of a grant and do not have to be paid back to the company." (The Web site is http://www.asatire.com/bailout.)

"Seeing this program end is bittersweet," says ASA President Wayne Croswell. "We are proud of this endeavor... to date, we have awarded over $1 million, which is more than our original offering, and will continue to accept applications through Dec. 31, as promised.

"I am thrilled that we can continue this effort through the end of the year. Many tire dealers took advantage of this program to replace their outdated infrastructures and improve their technology capabilities."
