Membership Benefits

Powerful Advocacy

TIADA is the single state association representing the collective interests of independent dealers at the Capitol. TIADA staff has key relationships with state agencies and state legislators that impact the policies that affect used car dealers. The collective clout of TIADA and its members enables independent dealers to speak with one strong, unified voice.

TIADA legislative and regulatory advocacy on behalf of its members amounts to millions of dollars in annual savings to all dealers. Absent TIADA’s strong presence in Austin, independent dealers would be strapped with even more burdensome regulations that would hamper your ability to operate.
TIADA keeps its members informed year-round on legislative regulatory issues so they can get involved at the grassroots level and effect positive outcomes for the industry. The strength your membership gives the association allows us to do more - more for you.

Powerful Opportunities

At the annual TIADA Annual Conference & Expo, members have an opportunity to play a “hands-on” role in the development of programs and policies that impact the used car industry. Through TIADA events, members participate in valuable information-packed forums sharing information and networking with peers. The most successful dealers in the state of Texas understand the importance of networking, and the most successful dealers in Texas are members of TIADA.

Members of TIADA also enjoy full membership to the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association as well opportunities to become active in local chapters throughout the state. 

TIADA members have the opportunity to be more efficient. That’s because of the relationships and the clout the association has with state agencies like TxDMV, OCCC, and the State Comptroller. Through these relationships the association is able to offer unmatched customer service, saving time and money for our members by making a phone call on their behalf or putting them in touch with right people.
