SERVICES FOR DEALERS

DEALER SERVICES

GNYADA receives inquiries from dealers seeking assistance on a wide variety of topics. Questions range from ”Is my dealership required to disclose the prior use of a vehicle?,” “Can my customer export this car to a foreign country?,” to “Are e-cigarettes permitted in the shop?” The Association’s team offers compliance help with OSHA regulations, DMV requirements, Red Flags Rule policies, as well as hundreds of other topics. Most often, we can resolve our members’ issues immediately. However, if the problem is more complex, Association staff conducts research in-house or reaches out to experts or the appropriate agencies.

Field Services GNYADA’s Field Services team keeps dealers aware of current and pending issues. Our field reps have been recruited to cover the full breadth of our territories, from out in Eastern Long Island, all the way up to Dutchess, Orange and Putnam counties. They assist local dealers daily, keeping them updated with the information they need to run their businesses. This personal contact helps ensure our programs are relevant to dealers and their employees.

During visits,members stock up on complimentary labor, service and shopposters. DMV forms, seminar registration materials, and other useful items are available through our field team. Representatives may also complete a walk- through of the dealership, inspecting each area for potential EPA, OSHA, and Privacy Act violations as well as proper signage.

Dealership Compliance Dealers face a myriad of state and federal laws regulating their dealerships. Even keeping proper records can be complicated. GNYADA offers dealers compliance solutions through educational seminars, webinars and workshops in addition to providing other hands-on reference compliance materials. Throughout the year, GNYADA gathers industry specialists to hold educational seminars that help members comply with often complicated regulations affecting every aspect of dealership operations. Covered topics include sales tax rules, privacy, identity theft, OSHA’s Hazard Communication, franchise law and employment law. GNYADA also hosts special regional programs for our northern and east end dealers.
