Dealer Facility Licensing GNYADA assists dealers through the arduous licensing/amendment process. Operating franchised dealerships in New York requires dealers to follow numerous DMV, tax, and other rules and requirements. Additional paperwork is needed when operating in New York City limits.

Warranty Parts Reimbursement Program The New York Franchise Law includes a method for auto dealers to claim retail mark-up for parts used for warranty repairs. GNYADA has a program to help dealers prepare and submit requests for increased reimbursement. Each manufacturer has different requirements, and each submission is tailored to the specific brand. This program continues to be very successful in obtaining increased payments for warranty work to members. Contact GNYADA to work with you on your submission to your manufacturer.
