How GIADA helps

Wherever your dealership is, we've got your back

From your first class to your next renewal, GIADA handles the paperwork, the training and the savings so you can sell cars.

Getting licensed

Start your dealership the right way

Georgia requires a pre-license class before you apply for a used motor vehicle dealer license. GIADA teaches the one-day, 4-hour seminar across the state.

Staying licensed

Renew without the scramble

Complete your 6 required CE hours online on your schedule, and let the GIADA office file your license renewal for you.

Growing your business

Save money every month

Auction fee coupons, insurance and bond discounts, dealer software savings and a statewide network of dealers who've been there.

Education

Upcoming classes

Pre-license seminars and continuing education, taught by GIADA, a Board-approved provider.
