When They are Afraid to Commit

When They are Afraid to Commit

We are living in challenging times, and we are feeling it in our customers hesitation to commit to financial obligations. Can we blame them? Job uncertainty, rising food prices, the economy, car theft, vandalism, and more are keeping people away from our businesses.

Cybersecurity 101: How to Protect Your Dealership

Cybersecurity 101: How to Protect Your Dealership

This year’s IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report found that the average total cost per breach in the U.S. reached a record high of $9.44 million. While breaches at large corporations grab the headlines, nearly half of all cyberattacks occur in companies with fewer than 50 employees. As cybercriminals increase their focus on small and mid-size businesses, experts warn that automobile dealerships make appealing targets due to the volume of confidential data they collect. Protecting your business starts with understanding and preventing your cybersecurity risks.

PennDot Agent Guidance

PennDot Agent Guidance

Dear Member,

You may have heard of the recent intent of suspension letters PennDOT is sending out to Online Service Providers regarding missing work.  PIADA would like to remind you of your responsibilities as an Agent and what PennDOT may look for at the time of an audit.  As part of your agent agreement, you are required to retain copies of all deals processed for 3 (three) years no matter how they are completed.  Any work processed online that produces a barcode on the printout needs to be sent to your online provider (ex: CVR) and you must retain a copy.

PIADA Fast Blast - URGENT ACTION REQUESTED - Please contact your legislator

PIADA Fast Blast - URGENT ACTION REQUESTED - Please contact your legislator

Dear PIADA Member,

We need your help and ask you to contact your legislators today asking them to support HB 2264 and HB 2372.

We are expecting all of the Democratic members to oppose both HB 2064 (Culver-R) and HB 2372 (Schmitt-R) in committee since PennDOT continues to oppose both bills.  There is a good chance that these bills may be pulled from the committee agenda due to the opposition so we need to take action.
