In California, our franchised new car dealers play a pivotal role in enhancing the lives of our residents. Dealers are not just providers of vehicles but facilitators of freedom, independence and reliable means of personal transportation. In a state where driving is a way of life, especially along iconic routes (like PCH, the Silverado Trail and 17-mile drive, to name but a few), cars are more than just transportation; they are the keys to unlocking opportunities, jobs and the sheer joy of exploring our state’s beautiful landscapes. It’s about ensuring every Californian has access to safe, dependable and affordable transportation, a cornerstone of our state’s unparalleled quality of life. A note too about the resiliency of dealers: For a century now, dealers have adapted to changes in technology and customer buying preferences, whether using computers, e-signatures, the internet or selling zero-emission vehicles. Dealers are ready to sell what our customers want to buy. Thank you for your tireless commitment to serving all Californians and our association. We also welcome the next generation of dealers who will continue to uphold and enrich CNCDA’s legacy for years to come. In closing, here’s to the next 100 years of collaboration and innovation. Together, we will drive the successful future of California’s franchised new car dealers. Regards, Brian Maas EPICBROKERS.COM ©2024 Edgewood Partners Insurance Center.
