Invested in Virginia.
The Virginia Automobile Dealers Association represents the Commonwealth's retail automotive ecosystem. We are your constituents.
We are the men and women on the sales floor helping families find safe transportation. We are the young technicians mastering high-tech, high-paying careers. We are the veterans utilizing technical skills and the immigrants building a new future. VADA protects the franchise system so our dealers can continue providing high-wage stability and workforce development in the communities they serve.
Direct-to-consumer models are regressive, not innovative. When dealers compete, consumers win. VADA ensures that Virginians have a dedicated advocate who is personally invested in their community's safety and success.
