CNCDA's Keys to Success

Saving Dealers Time & Money

CNCDA gives members access to a wide variety of timely and comprehensive, member-only resources.

Compliance & Legal Support

Members have direct access to CNCDA in-house attorneys and receive guidance on issues directly impacting our dealers.

Lobbying Government

CNCDA lobbies the legislative & regulatory agencies (such as DMV, CARB, and BAR) on behalf of dealers' interests and stands against potential burdensome regulations.

Forming Partnerships

The CNCDA Political Action Committee expands your influence beyond you own legislative district. It helps to back candidates and officeholders across CA who support our industry and need our support as well.

Providing Education & Industry Data

Access to frequent educational webinars, seminars, and industry updates. CNCDA also provides our widely republished quarterly Auto Outlook Report, which has become the "gold standard" by which new vehicle sales statewide are reported and benchmarked.
