Membership Benefits
Strength in Numbers
Created by independent equipment distributors, for independent equipment distributors, on the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats.
When we consolidate purchases together as a larger group, we are able to leverage our buying power for the lowest acquisition costs.
Protected Territories
ADG members don’t compete. Every member has an exclusive territory, so knowledge and best practices can be freely exchanged without worry.
Whether it's a product line you need help acquiring, installation advice, or tools and tricks for your business: ADG
knows a guy!
Product-Line Access
As a buying group, member-to-member sales are allowed and encouraged! If there is a product line you don't have access to, or maybe you've been denied before, between all of our members, there's someone who can help.
Variety of Expertise
Across ADG, our members share a wealth of knowledge. By sharing information to help each other succeed, we all sell more product and therefore continue to increase our combined buying power.
Membership Benefits
Get Vendor Attention
ADG gets the attention of vendors! Every year vendors come to our meetings to discuss their products and get our feedback.
Ask yourself: who do you pay more attention to, the dealer principal with 12 dealerships or Joe who has a two bay shop 3 towns away?
