OADA Response to Local Health Department "Essential Business" Inquiries

OADA is aware that Ohio's County Health Departments are proactively contacting dealerships to determine whether sales of vehicles are "Essential Businesses". We fully support our members' making independent decisions related to remaining open or otherwise. For those who remain open, please take steps to ensure your compliance with the Social Distancing requirements in the Executive Order for the health and well-being of customers and employees.

We are providing this response (download letter here) for your convenience, should you wish to use it. Feel free to contact OADA with any additional questions.
