Welcome to the

THE USED CAR DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO

40 YEARS STRONG ... THANKS TO YOU!

The UCDA was born 40 years ago this year, in November, 1984, to be precise. It’s hard to believe that the association, which began with 7 dealers, would grow to 5,000 dealers, 4 decades later.

We have some special plans to celebrate this momentous occasion this year, and throughout the year, but we want to keep our Members front and center because that is our strength.

The association is for our Members, always has been, and that’s the reason we have so many members who renew their UCDA membership year after year.

40 Year Members – 41

30 Year Members – 610

20 Year Members – 846

As any dealer knows, for a business to survive for so long is rare. Just as our members do, we strive to stay current; offer products, services and information no one else can, in a way no one else does.

  • We still answer the phones!
  • We hold our fees and prices firm, even in this time of turmoil and inflation, when everyone else is raising their prices through the roof.
  • We deliver quality, not promises.

Our commitment to you is to keep our eyes on our mission: representation, education and mediation.

Individually, we struggle to be heard.

Collectively, we cannot be ignored!
