The Florida Independent Automobile Dealers Association, Inc., known as the FIADA, is a not-for-profit Florida corporation that was organized in 1940 to represent and support the interests of independent used car dealers. The FIADA was established out of the need for a common ground for independent car dealers to learn how to be successful; to protect themselves from unfair and unnecessary regulations; to exchange ideas; and to educate the public and the law makers of the importance of the industry to the general public.
