The Voice of North Carolina Dealers

About NCADA

The North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association (NCADA) represents the interests of North Carolina’s new franchised automobile, truck, and RV dealers. Since our founding in 1935, we’ve grown to represent nearly 600 dealerships across the state—serving as a unified voice for the retail automotive industry in North Carolina.

NCADA provides education, compliance resources, and legislative advocacy to help our members thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. We work closely with state and national partners to protect the automotive retail environment, ensuring that our members can deliver exceptional value and service to customers.

Our association also collaborates with the Attorney General’s Office, the Department of Transportation, and numerous public and private organizations that impact the automotive sector. Additionally, through partnerships with NCADA-approved Associate Members, we connect dealers with trusted companies that provide products and services essential to their success.

Though independent from the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), we maintain a strong working relationship with them to ensure that the voices of North Carolina’s dealers are heard at every level—local, state, and national.
