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.
