Membership Services

The Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Association (GPADA) was formed to encourage and promote trade and commerce among its membership. Our members are afforded the opportunity to associate and exchange their views with each other and to disseminate information to those engaged in the automotive industry and to the consuming public. We provide many programs and services to make our Association a valuable asset to businesses that become involved.

We produce and direct the annual Pittsburgh International Auto Show to provide impetus into off-season auto sales for the spring selling season.
