The Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association (MADA) serves as the representative and advocate for Minnesota’s franchised new-car and truck dealers. Based in West St. Paul, Minnesota, it supports dealerships with advocacy at the Capitol and regulatory engagement, alongside legal guidance on employment, consumer, advertising, and compliance matters to help manage risk and resolve issues efficiently. The organization emphasizes knowledge as a driver of performance, offering training and resources—both in person and online—to translate complex laws and best practices into actionable steps across sales, service, parts, F&I, and administration. It also provides members with Minnesota-specific forms, title and registration supplies, compliance products, and branded merchandise through its services and title solutions, facilitating smooth daily operations. MADA hosts events and networking opportunities to connect dealers with partners and policymakers to share ideas and strengthen the statewide automotive community. The association aims to protect and empower Minnesota’s franchised dealers by providing advocacy, legal expertise, training, and practical business solutions focused on customer service, compliance, and growth. Recent collaborations noted in the press include a partnership with FrogData in 2023 and involvement in related initiatives, reflecting ongoing efforts to support the dealer network.
