Thanks for visiting the WANADA website, which is the place to be for what you may want to know about Washington Area New Automobile Dealers (and their) Association.

Washington Area new automobile dealers are among the largest and most successful in the world. Many of our dealer operators began at the dawning of the automobile business in the early 20th century with stores in the District of Columbia. The descendents of many of these car business pioneers today have expanded their businesses and become multi-franchised operations in multiple locations in and around and beyond the Capital Beltway.

From our office in Washington DC, we at WANADA provide a variety of important public activities such as the Washington Auto Show, which showcases the automobile industry before Congress and the federal agencies and show visitors from across the globe. Services we provide our members include government relations to take care that laws enhance the auto industry, which ultimately benefits consumers. We also work to recruit, train and educate dealer personnel to ensure that consumers get value in the vehicle they purchase and auto repairs they require. Group purchasing programs such as a well established and successful employee benefit programs help keep dealers profitable and strong which helps the economy.

The staff and I hope your visit to the WANADA website is fruitful and appreciate the opportunity to share it with you.
