What it says it does
The Syracuse Auto Dealers Association, founded in 1907, was formed to be a service organization for new car dealerships and affiliated businesses. It is our function to provide services, educational opportunities and promote the annual auto show. As part of the show, a charitable organization was established that raises funds for charities in the community. We also provide seminars on subjects of importance and OSHA training for dealership personnel. The Syracuse Auto Dealers Association staff work with dealership personnel on matters of importance such as education, understanding health insurance and voluntary benefits that are needed. The Association handles issues with the Department of Motor Vehicles and any regulatory agency that impacts their business. The mission of this organization is to provide, as needed, information, regulations and issues that will impact the new car dealers, affiliated members and their staffs.
