Join us as we pave the way for progress in Southern New England, amplifying voices and effecting real change together in the independent auto industry.Empowering Independent Auto Dealers
SNEIADA/MIADA is the only trade association in the Southern New England region that puts the dealer and our industry first.
Your dealer association fights for your rights to operate in your specific state. No matter what state you operate in, the National Association that we are affiliated with fights for your rights on Capitol Hill. Our National PAC fund supports legislators that champion our businesses. Over the years, NIADA has fought bad legislation and defeated many bills that would have a negative effect on your businesses. The FTC, CFPB and legislators file bills every year that would have a negative effect on your business. Your dues help support these efforts.

MIADA has been your voice on Beacon Hill. Over the years we have been on the front lines to Champion for Independent Automobile dealers and the issues that affect their businesses. MIADA has filed legislation that has helped our dealers operate. Some of these and the rules we were able to get changed include:
- Dealer plates use by owner, operator, and their direct family during non-business hours. This saved our dealers Thousands of dollars a year in registration fees for their personal vehicles.
- Electronic insurance stamps on Title and Registration forms, rather than a wet stamp. The average Massachusetts dealer saved over $3000.00 a year in runners and courtesy stamp fees by us getting this changed.
- Temporary Tags for out of state sales. This bill took over seven years to get passed and leveled the playing field for our dealers who did not have the ability to offer a temporary tag for out of state buyers.
- Business to Business RMV sights for our dealers.
- SNEIADA, with the help of NIADA, helped reform the Rhode Island Dealer Board and Dealer enforcement in the state. We now have a dedicated enforcement officer that we can contact with any issue that Rhode Island Dealers may have.
