What is the CIADA?
The CIADA is the only non-profit organization in the Carolinas that represents the independent used car dealer. We serve both the dealers, as well as vendors who serve our industry through memberships or sponsorships. CIADA encourages those who are considering joining our association to know we will be your representation, be your source for all education needs, and provide you with individual help or guidance.
Why CIADA?
We help you stay informed on the ever-changing, and often challenging, used car industry. We do this by providing quality education and relevant resources to hundreds of dealers and their preferred vendors that are a part of the Carolinas Independent Auto Dealers.
