AMVIC is a non-profit organization that will be funded entirely by the motor vehicle industry. It is believed that industry self-management, through AMVIC, will provide a level playing field and fair marketplace for businesses and consumers alike. Representation on the council consists of recreation vehicle dealers, the Alberta Government, franchised dealers and consumer groups.

The members of the Edmonton Motor Dealers' Association endeavour to improve communications between the franchised new car dealers and their customers. We know that whether you're buying or leasing a new or used vehicle or servicing your existing vehicle, many functions within the dealership remain a mystery.

We would like to assist you if we can. Please feel free to call upon our office during business hours (423-2401) or email the EMDA by filling out our form on the Contact Us page.

Please keep in mind that we are not a source for legal opinions or legal assistance. Our guidance will be based on trends within the industry and past experiences.
