WHAT IADA HAS ACCOMPLISHED — WITH YOUR SUPPORT Thanks to your partnership, we’ve: • Increased the doc fee to $367, putting millions of dollars back into dealerships — and we’re pushing to raise it another $100 this spring. • Worked to strengthen the Illinois Franchise Act to prevent manufacturers like Volkswagen and Honda from bypassing dealers with spin-off brands or direct sales models. • Passed legislation to allow dealers to collect retail rates for warranty work — a critical win for our service departments. • Invested over $1 million to defeat Ford’s “Model e” plan, which threatened to eliminate the dealer’s role in the sales process. These are just a few examples of how IADA’s efforts have allowed us to keep more money in our dealerships. Any one of these issues has allowed us to reinvest millions of dollars back into our businesses to better serve our customers and communities. But the challenges facing us with manufacturers trying to circumvent the Illinois dealership model are great. Support us the easy way by partnering with us through the Association CVR partnership and other IADA programs. Thank you for your time, your trust and your continued commitment to our shared success.
