Small Business Week: Spotlighting New Hampshire’s Economic Engine
New Hampshire’s motor vehicle businesses are more than just where Granite Staters buy and service their vehicles — they’re the backbone of our local economy and pillars of our communities. During National Small Business Week (May 4th to May 10th, 2025), we are proudly spotlighting that our members drive economic vitality, create high-quality jobs, and reinvest in the neighborhoods they serve.
Across more than 2,600 businesses statewide, the motor vehicle industry employs nearly 23,000 New Hampshire residents — not just as sales professionals and technicians, but as neighbors, mentors, and local leaders. These are well-paying, stable careers that can’t be outsourced, with an average industry salary of $70,400. When a customer buys a vehicle, gets an oil change, or picks up parts from a local NHADA member, their money stays right here in the Granite State — supporting families, funding schools, and fueling growth.

Beyond their economic contributions, our industry is deeply embedded in their communities. In 2023 alone, our industry contributed an estimated $18.2 million to charitable and civic organizations. Whether it's sponsoring youth sports, donating to emergency services, or helping local families in need, NHADA members give back generously and consistently.
Supporting education is another cornerstone of our industry’s impact. Since the inception of The New Hampshire Automotive Education Foundation, it’s estimated our members have raised over $750,000 for automotive scholarships. Maintaining strong relationships with local high schools and community colleges, many of our members proudly offer internships, mentorships, and career paths for students — proving that investing locally goes far beyond business transactions.
Your continued dedication to serving your communities, supporting local jobs, and giving back is what drives New Hampshire forward. Together, we’re not just building businesses — we’re shaping a stronger, more connected future for our state.
