The WSIADA Dealer's Hotline is a membership benefit that allows active members to contact our association to ask questions concerning their business. Answers can take 1 to 2 business days depending on severity.

Dealer Hotline is strictly for active members of the association. If you have a question, you can sign up for membership during the call or we will direct you to a Washington State Agency that can help you.

There are several options for getting your Continuing Education that are listed on the Education webpage here on our site.

No, once your five hours is reported to the state whatever remaining is ineligible for following year.

Quality of service. We speak with Department of Licensing and other state agencies on a daily basis to ensure our education meets and exceeds the compliance requirements for dealers.

Five hours is required by the State of Washington for your dealership renewal under RCW 46.70.079 Section 1b.

We include education with the membership with variable options. Events still have discounted fees for members

No, it is against the policy of WSIADA to allow this. If a dealership purchases for another dealership location that do not have the same dealer number, we will ship to the billing address of the purchaser or the transaction will be refunded.

If a dealership is a member of the association, their WSIADA membership will be suspended pending review.

If you have an account already on file, find the ‘My Account’ feature on the page and you will find how to recover or reset your access. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one.

Unfortunately, not at this time

Each time your debit or credit card is run, your bank logs the attempts in their system whether its a successful transaction or denied. These will drop off the log after 24 hours usually.

We are not set up for cash transactions. We only accept Debit/Credit Cards on our Webstore or checks at our retail locations.

You can return the product if it is unopened for in store credit.

If your account is placed on a suspended status, it means that your dealership has outstanding bills on file which needs to be cleared before your suspension is lifted. Accounting sends invoices by email and through regular mail to dealerships. Finance charges will be added after a certain point of non-payment.

All shipments are via FedEx Ground and generally arrive within 1 to 2 business days unless ordered over a weekend.

Dealerships with previous orders have reported missing, lost, or entirely misdelivered packages. We require the signatures to ensure your dealership receives your order.

You may attend a Chapter meeting for free. For the education credits to be applied to your dealership, you will need to pay a fee of $50.

There are currently seven active chapters in WSIADA.: Vancouver, Tri-Cities, Yakima, Spokane, South Sound, North Sound and North Cascade Chapters. Eventually we would like to reactivate Peninsula Chapter when there is sufficient interest in the region again.

Topics can vary from meeting to meeting. Most meetings include current changes in laws that affect dealers, news from the Board of Directors, plus more to help dealers be more successful.

Each Chapter has two meetings per year in the Spring and Fall. All dealerships are welcome to attend. We attempt to alternate between morning and evening times to allow for dealers schedules.

Each dealership can earn 3 hours of Education credits toward their next renewal cycle. Association Membership will have the credits automatically applied. A $50 fee for non-members of the Association would be required to apply the credits to the dealership. Note: Multiple personnel attending from the same dealership will only recieve one issuing of the credit.

Most dealerships in remote areas are given an overlap option for chapters. If youre not able to attend one meeting, you can always attend a different location if traveling is an option.

There are several positions available in each Chapter: President and Secretary. To become a Chapter President, you must be the Dealer Principal, be in business a minimum of two years and would be voted on by the WSIADA Board of Directors. The role of a Chapter President is to work within the chapter to guide the other dealerships that have questions or concerns for the WSIADA.

New Dealer Education is a requirement by the State of Washington to teach prospective dealers the laws, forms and legal requirements for creating a successful dealership as required by RCW 46.70.079 Section 1a.

This course is specifically for the creation of the dealer endorsement under the business license.

Washington State requires that dealerships be in a commercial zoned property with utilities attached. Residential homes, townhouses, construction-type trailers would not follow this requirement.

Washington State eliminated the Wholesale Dealer Endorsement for new dealers in 2018. There are no plans currently to reinstate this license endorsement.

The certificate you receive at the end of class will be good for one year only under WAC 308-66-120.

We recommend you update the certificate before it expires if you have not opened your business at that time. If your certificate has expired more than three months, you will be required to retake the course in its entirety.

The New Dealer Education certificate is specifically for one dealership to be established. Each state application for business establishment is considered a new status and requires the class to be taken, unless they are under the same Entity/UBI that is previously established.

Once an individual has created their business, the certificate is void from further usages. 

Yes, we provide this course live through webinar with the instructor.

We have not provided this course other than through online webinars since the pandemic began. Before the pandemic and possibly after, we may provide courses again in Auburn and Spokane, depending on the interest.

It can take a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks to have a dealer license issued by Washington State. The longest on record is 15 weeks to get a license due to mistakes in the application process. Each mistake is nearly a week turnaround time to correct.

No, the New Dealer Education is the first step in the process for getting your license endorsements. We provide you with all the details, directions, and information that you will need to create your dealership as efficiently and cost effective as possible.

If you have utilized any member benefits (Dealer Hotline, 15% discount, etc.), you would not be able to cancel your membership until the end of the year cycle is completed and simply request not to renew.

A purchased membership is only good for the registered dealership license number, if another uses it and they aren’t a part of your dealership, you could have your membership revoked.

Annual membership includes several benefits but Billing (Invoicing) is one of the popular options*. You can purchase products online or in our retail locations, take the products right there and recieve a bill from our accounting department a week later to pay. 

*All Education items are exempt from Billing (Invoicing).

Each membership is always one calendar year (example January 2021 to January 2022) for each dealership. 

If your account is placed on a suspended status, it means that your dealership has outstanding bills on file which needs to be cleared before your suspension is lifted. Accounting sends invoices by email and through regular mail to dealerships. Finance charges will be added after a certain point of non-payment.

We accept credit/debit cards and checks of the full membership amount. There are no split payment options available.
