Dear GADA Members and Friends: It is an honor and pleasure to serve the franchised dealers of Georgia. As part of GADA’s ongoing mission to assist our members, I am proud to present you with our 2026 Membership Directory. This publication can be used often throughout the year as a resource to quickly find important information and contacts. GADA continues to represent the interests of franchised dealers at the State Capitol as well as in Washington. We work each day to make sure that lawmakers know and understand the benefits of the franchise system to consumers and communities. I encourage all dealers to get involved in the legislative process. The benefits of getting to know your legislator cannot be understated. The many legislative successes GADA has achieved over the years would not be possible without the voices of our dealers. GADA also continues to provide value to our members through our successful workers’ compensation fund, insurance agency, business forms store and title services. One of the most important functions that GADA performs is to provide information to our members, such as upcoming changes in laws, compliance guidance and legislative action alerts. Information is communicated via email, so it is absolutely critical that GADA has up-to-date contact information for key employees at every dealership. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, your GADA Board representative or the GADA staff with any questions or concerns. Best regards, Lea B. Kirschner GADA President & CEO President’s Message WWW.GADA.COM | 3
Dear Members, I am pleased to present the GADA 2026 Membership Directory. I encourage you to keep this valuable resource on hand to use throughout the year.

The directory also includes details on the Franchise Practices Act, information about auto advertising compliance and other relevant material. I encourage you to take advantage of our Associate Member listings. GADA’s Associate Members offer products and services designed to support our dealerships. Many of these companies contribute to GADA in various ways, from sponsoring the annual GADA Convention to providing valuable content for GADA publications. The support of our Associate Members is vital to the success of GADA, and we greatly appreciate their involvement in our organization. If you haven’t been actively engaged with GADA, I encourage you to make a change in 2026. Taking full advantage of what the Association has to offer will become increasingly beneficial as our industry continues to evolve. You will gain valuable insights through educational webinars and email alerts, enjoy dividends from the GADA Workers’ Compensation Fund, connect with peers and mentors at the GADA Convention and more! If you’re wondering how to get involved, it’s easy. First, ensure that you open and read the emails you receive from GADA. If you’re not receiving these emails, please email us at info@gada.com to be added to our list. Next, be sure to sign up for events like Dealer Day at the Capitol, regional meetings and webinars. If GADA calls for assistance with grassroots efforts, reach out to your local legislator. I assure you, getting involved is a rewarding experience! The success of GADA is due to its members. Your willingness to get involved, step up when needed and help find solutions to the challenges we face makes a significant difference. After all, when collaboration is a common practice, success follows naturally. Marsh Butler 2025-2026 GADA Chairman Chairman’s Message 4 | 2026 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
It is my privilege to serve as Georgia’s NADA Director. It is gratifying to be part of such a supportive organization. NADA supports dealers not only in Washington but also with manufacturers. It also promotes the many benefits of franchise dealerships to the media, lawmakers and the public. The many programs and services NADA provides make being a member of NADA a no-brainer. If you aren’t already a member, scan the QR code to learn more about the benefits and join today. https://www.nada.org/nada/membership/benefits-nada-membership Here’s a summary of just some of the issues on NADA’s agenda in the months ahead: VW/SCOUT DIRECT SALES VW’s attempt to sell Scout vehicles directly to consumers and Sony Honda Mobility’s announcement of intentions to sell directly to consumers, without utilizing franchised dealerships, is misguided and bad for consumers. Recently, the Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer Board granted VW-owned Scout Motors a dealer license, allowing VW/Scout Motors to sell new, used and wholesale vehicles directly to consumers in Colorado. The Colorado board’s decision to allow VW/Scout to undercut their franchised dealers sets a troubling precedent that undermines important protections for both dealers and consumers. NADA will work closely with the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) as next steps are determined. NADA continues to oppose VW/Scout’s direct-to-consumer strategy nationwide by supporting litigation in California and Florida to protect the state vehicle franchise model and consumers. In addition, NADA, through its Legal Defense Fund, has assisted GADA in a direct sales challenge brought by Lucid Motors. NADA will continue to work with state association executives to determine the best paths forward to protect the franchise system and stand behind dealers. RESET OF CAFE RULES President Trump and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a plan to overhaul Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards starting with 2022 model year vehicles. This comes after findings from the Trump administration that previous standards improperly factored in the efficiency of non-gas vehicles, resulting in unachievable requirements. The revised fuel efficiency standards, combined with the administration’s proposal to eliminate Biden-era EPA standards, will relieve NADA Director’s Message WWW.GADA.COM | 5
regulatory pressure on manufacturers to produce EVs in excess of consumer demand. NADA plans to submit written comments for the record and testify at the NHTSA hearing in support of the proposed CAFE standards. SO-CALLED “RIGHT TO REPAIR” LEGISLATION The REPAIR Act (H.R. 1566/S. 1379) creates a legal path for unlimited third-party access to all vehicle data, which would create intellectual property and data security risks. The REPAIR Act would also open warranty and repair work to independent dealers. The REPAIR Act is being considered as a candidate for inclusion in this summer’s Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill, often referred to as “the highway bill,” which is reauthorized every five years. NADA, along with other industry stakeholders, will be sending a letter to the subcommittee in opposition to this legislation and will continue its efforts to prevent the passage of this bill and block its inclusion in the upcoming Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill. TARIFFS The threat or imposition of tariffs on countries critical to U.S. auto manufacturing and supply warrants NADA’s engagement. NADA is working with stakeholders across the auto industry and is engaging the administration and Congress to protect dealer interests. In November, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections Inc., which addresses the legality of President Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). While the case could generate significant headlines about tariffs, it’s essential for dealers to understand that the case does not significantly impact the tariffs on vehicles and vehicle parts. Stay informed about the latest NADA issues and events. While GADA always makes its best effort to pass important NADA information to you, I encourage you to maintain NADA membership, read NADA emails and participate in NADA’s many educational offerings. I wish you all another successful year, and I look forward to working together. Matt Laughridge NADA Director 6 | 2026 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
