	Frequently Asked Questions   A guide to using the Automotive Supplier Finder   Do I need to be an SMMT member to be a part of ASF? How do I get my business capabilities and details in the Motor Industry Directory (MID)? Is there a subscription charge for suppliers?

I have searched by products/services that I can supply but my company does not appear in the MID, why not? I have received an RFQ but there is not enough information for me to respond with a quotation, how can I get more information from the buyer? Why can't I download the drawings? How can I add users to my account? What is the Motor Industry Directory? What can I use ASF to source? What makes ASF different from other search facilities? What product / service areas does the directory specialise in? How does the proactive matching service work? How can I improve my business visibility with ASF? Will I be notified of any charges? How will I know if there is a request for quotation that I can respond to? I have used the MID before, why am I being asked to register before I can create an RFQ? What is a request for information (RFI) and how can I send one? What is the difference between Public and Private RFQs? How can I source from overseas suppliers using ASF? I have received an RFQ which I cannot return a quote to because I do not supply this product/service, what should I do? I have checked my company details in the MID but you have the incorrect information, what should I do? What will happen when I return my quote through the system? Why hasn't our business received any request for quotations?

Unfortunately the information that you provided when you registered for the MID for the first time is no longer enough to be able to become a part of the ASF service. The new registration form, once complete, will provide us with enough information to be able to enter your details into the MID. The registration should take no longer than a couple of minutes.
