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 off-season auto sales impetus into the spring selling season.

The PATA Federal Credit Union is available to the membership and their employees and families. Our credit union offers a convenient payroll deduction savings plan, as well as low interest loans, share drafts, Visa cards and checking.
