... ... that's what I thought as well ;-))
But perhaps I could use CS for "Customer service" (even though CS is also the official abbreviation of one of the big Swiss banks ...)
Kevin Kelly Oct 19, 2005:
I can tell you for sure that the abbreviation is definitely NOT "A.S.S."

Check google and you'll find there is no abbreviation.

Post-sales service

If you badly ned to use an abbreviation, then why not try use "Post-sales service" and "PSS", accordingly?

At least, "PSS", looks and sounds acceptible
