SERVICES FOR DEALERS
2015 GNYADA Membership Directory
14
GNYADA receives inquiries from dealers seeking assistance on a wide variety of topics. Callers seek information
ranging 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 dealership?”
The Association’s team responds with assistance on everything from Red Flags Rule compliance and DMV
regulations to calls for help with 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 regulatory agencies.
Field Services
GNYADA offers a Field Services team to keep dealers
aware of current and pending issues. GNYADA field
representatives with more than 30 years of experience
working in metro-area dealerships, assists 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 the visits, members stock up on complimentary
labor, service and shop posters. DMV forms, seminar
registration materials, and other useful items are available from our representatives. At the same time, a field
representative may complete a walk-through of the dealership, inspecting each area for potential EPA, OSHA, and
Privacy Act violations as well as proper signage.

their dealerships. For example, just keeping proper records can be
