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.

For Vendors

For Dealers

Without question, CIADA remains one of this industry’s very best sources of information, networking, and continuing education.

CIADA has helped me tremendously over the years. If I could belong to only one association, it would be CIADA. You have to participate, you have to want to learn. You have to take advantage of the opportunity.

I thought that joining CIADA would be a waste of money. I WAS WRONG! They have given me so much more than the $299.00 membership fee. A dealer would be crazy not to be a member of the CIADA.

When we started the business, the first thing we did was join CIADA. We wanted an organization that had a solid knowledge base.
