GIADA Accomplishments ~ GIADA was either responsible for, or directly involved with the passing and/or blocking of several new laws which have greatly impacted Georgia used car dealers, their businesses and their very future. GIADA has also experienced steady significant growth in membership in the last eight years. We are currently the second largest independent automobile dealer association in the country.
We have developed good working relationships with the Secretary of the State Office Professional Licensing Division Used Car Board, Department of Revenue - Department of Motor Vehicles, County Tax Commissioners, Governors Office of Consumer Affairs and many local Law Enforcement Agencies.
We are methodically attacking Georgia's curbstoning problem. The GIADA is responsible for the passing of anti-curbstoning laws O.C.G.A. § 40-2-39.1. Curbstoning is the practice of unlicensed and illegal sales of used vehicles.
