MAADA also produces the Atlanta International Auto Show, which is the largest annual event of its kind in the Southeast, and the largest consumer show held at the Georgia World Congress Center.

We take great pride in our support of a large number of community programs, including GSGA Junior Tour, The Salvation Army, Camp Twin Lakes and Toys for Tots.

The Association is also thrilled at the success of our Academy for Automotive Professionals, which offers training in sales, management and fixed operations. To our knowledge, this is the only sales, management and fixed operations training center that is owned and operated by a dealer association for its members.

Whenever you see the Metro Atlanta Automobile Dealers Association logo displayed you can be assured of the most stringent standards of quality, service, and customer satisfaction.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_custom_heading text=”Facility” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]To our knowledge,  The Metro Atlanta Automobile Dealers Association was the first to open a sales/fixed operations training center that’s totally owned and operated by a automotive dealer association for its members.

The 40,000 square foot Interstate North Parkway location has five large classrooms that can be used for a variety of training programs. Each classroom features high-speed Internet access as well as full audiovisual integration. The fixed operations center has 16 service bays, a down draft spray booth, frame machine and detail workshop which enables our training staff to provide real world, hands on training for tech and auto body students.

The facility is also the home for the association’s administration offices and the Atlanta International Auto Show. This annual event is one of the largest auto shows in the nation, with over 500,000 square feet of display area. Since its inception in 1995, MAADA’s Academy for Automotive Professionals has provided sales, management and fixed operations training for over 70,000 students. It is recognized as one of the elite automotive training institutions in the nation.

“Our training programs are very beneficial to our dealer members, who are always looking for qualified personnel for their sales, service and body repair departments,” remarked Shayne Wilson, President of MAADA. “All of our programs offer trainees classroom and interactive training by highly qualified instructors.”[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][video_embed url=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/350792580″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
