More than 100 representatives from Virginia’s franchised car and truck dealerships showed up in Richmond on Jan. 29 to “lead from the front” and support our legislation to bring greater protections and fair pay to our Commonwealth’s automotive technicians. In addition, dealers and technicians sent more than 700 letters of support to lawmakers in support of House Bill 1683 and Senate Bill 1308.

The commitment and advocacy in support of fair compensation for Virginia dealers and their technicians are truly invaluable, and our successes are a direct result of VADA’s members’ collective passion, determination and unwavering support.

Special thanks to Armatus Dealer Uplift LLC for sponsoring our luncheon prior to visiting the Hill, and to Armatus team members Jordan Jankowski and Ryan Hammer for joining us on these visits.
