The Birmingham Automobile Dealers Association became operational since 1967, when automobile dealers in the area realized the importance of an organization which would create a good working relationship between car -buyers and car-dealers. The organization strove to help its customers attain the greatest benefit from availing cars from the members of the organization. The organization tries to promote customer service skills among its members. Its mission is to satisfy the customer. About some 30 manufacturers sell about 500 models of cars and light trucks and they are of premier quality. Since 1989 the sale of used cars crossed the sale of brand new cars. In Birmingham about 80 percent of the decision to buy cars are taken by women. These days the market of cars in Birmingham are being dictated by customer service and the dealers are the key players in the market. The association also helps customers to choose from the hundreds of options available to them by informing them in detail about cars.
The Birmingham Automobile Dealers Association is immensely popular because of the annual auto show it organizes each year by the name of the Birmingham International Auto Show. This show began in 1993, and since then has continued to be held in the Jefferson Civic Center, becoming the most exciting and biggest automobile show in the south of the US. Around some 36 domestic and imported cars are on display in the show spanning across a total exhibition area of about 200,000 square feet.
