MDA Co-Auto Ltd. was incorporated in 1981 with a mandate to supply to its members at the lowest possible cost those products and services used in an automotive dealership not being supplied through the vehicle manufacturer. Today, some 25 years later, we continue to embrace our core purpose of "Dedicated to lowering the operating costs of our dealer members".

MDA Co-Auto Ltd. is a warehouse distributor owned by over 350 Franchised New Car Dealerships in Western Canada and functions as their buying group. These shareholders represent through ownership or control over 750 individual automotive dealerships.

A Board of Directors comprised of Dealer Principals and representing the shareholders is responsible for the strategic management of the Company with the Company’s Management team and staff performing the day-to-day functions. MDA Co-Auto is the only company in Western Canada owned by the dealerships and run by a board of Dealer Principals that offer cost saving solutions for all departments within a dealership.

By leveraging its purchasing volume MDA Co-Auto is able to negotiate exceptional pricing on goods and services on behalf of its large number of dealer members. Some examples of products and services provided include janitorial, hardware, body shop, car care, office, and shop supplies. In the last couple of years the product offerings have been expanded to include electricity, natural gas, capital equipment and more. Many of our supplier partners have been with MDA Co-Auto since inception and have enjoyed significant growth through our relationship.

All MDA Co-Auto Employees adhere to a strict and published set of values ensuring our members understand and trust in the services we provide. Our loyalties are to the dealer and our method of creating strong relationships ensures we add value both to our membership and supplier partners.

To take advantage of new opportunities we master some very basic business practices which in turn offer a sustained competitive advantage. Keeping our costs under tight control while providing products and services that meet dealer requirements ensures the highest standards of product and service pricing and quality are maintained. In addition, all shareholders receive incremental savings on their purchases after each year-end when the company rebates a majority of its profit back to the shareholders.
