CNCDA’s No. 1 priority throughout much of this year has been to provide valuable compliance guidance and consistent support to our dealer members on how to navigate the challenges and unexpected implications of COVID-19. We continue to enhance our efforts to include invaluable resources that have also been supplemented by our Dealership Coronavirus Resources Page on our website. In recent months we have tracked, collected, and refined timely and relevant information and resources specific to Coronavirus that CNCDA members can rely on in real time to help guide you through this unprecedented time and the uncertainty of months to come.
As conditions continue to change and we head into the winter months, CNCDA will continue with our Coronavirus emails and regular updates, but please be sure to visit the Resources Page for exclusive member access to all materials to keep you in compliance. Of note, don’t miss our COVID-19 Member Toolkit, Restarting California’s New Car Dealerships in the Wake of COVID-19. This CNCDA Member Toolkit is designed to help dealerships implement new protocols and procedures, ensuring the health and safety of consumers and employees. This document is not intended as legal advice, nor is it intended to be comprehensive regarding all COVID-19 compliance matters. Instead, this toolkit is designed as an informational checklist, which includes key resources for critical areas that dealerships need to be aware of as they operate under the conditions of COVID-19. Resources housed on the member-only webpage accessed through CNCDA Comply include:
- COVID-19 Member Toolkit
- Coronavirus Webinars
- Dealership FAQs
- Coronavirus Documents (including sample forms, checklists and notices)
As the COVID-19 environment continues to shift, CNCDA staff is eager to continue our work to guide you through this uncertain and ever-changing landscape. It is our primary objective to ensure you have the resources and support you need to navigate these times. Keeping your businesses up and running, and in compliance while ensuring the safety of your employees and customers remains our No. 1 priority.
