In this episode of the Used Car Dealer Podcast, Zach talks with Jeff Martin, CEO of the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA), about the upcoming 2025 NIADA Convention, the evolving used car market, and the organization’s advocacy and educational priorities.
Jeff shares what’s new at this year’s event—including Dealer Rounds (peer-led roundtables), seven AI-focused sessions, and a revamped certified master dealer program. He dives into the regional nuances of EV adoption, rising costs and inventory challenges, and how NIADA is responding with data, education, and policy engagement.
Whether you’re considering the convention, wondering about tariffs or pricing, or navigating digital change, Jeff offers clarity on how NIADA plans to support independent dealers through 2025 and into 2026.
We’ve put together timely blogs for dealers on best practices for CRM, Facebook Marketplace, and other industry content.
