For its members, the UCDA is many things. We are an advocate for dealers. We are an educator. We are a trusted advisor. We are a friend. We are also a not-for-profit trade association. This last thing means that we have the flexibility to strive to find value for our members. While we have to be able to pay our staff, keep the lights on and coffee in the pot, we are not profit driven.
Through our programs, our fees, and the excellent work our people and our Board of Directors do, to make this all work as well as it does, we boast an enviable member retention rate. This enables us to return value to members, and not for the first time.
In the last couple of years, members have seen the UCDA deliver free 40 year anniversary swag, subsidized EV training, Key Elements rewrite cost underwriting, fee reductions in 2024 for vehicle lien and history searches, as well as Power Pack savings for 20 year + members. As if this was not enough, we also make all of our best-in-class sales and lease forms available for electronic use by members free of charge!
Should we even mention that we have not increased UCDA membership fees in years, made significant improvements to our health and dental insurance plan, and ensured our partnerships are delivering value for money to our members?
Too late, we just did!
So, we figured, why not see if we can’t do it again?
FEE REDUCTIONS Coming May 1, 2026
AUTO CHECK
We charge $8 for Auto Check™. A comprehensive search for vehicle insurance claims is of great importance to dealers, and it is an alternative to other more costly accident searches in the market. It’s not a one-size fits all solution, but in the right cases it can be an excellent way to help appraise a vehicle affordably, or supplement other accident searches dealers have run.
We plan to reduce the fee for Auto Check by $2, so as of May 1st it will cost a member $6 to run an Auto Check™.
LIEN SEARCHES
First Tier Lien Searches were reduced to $11.50 in 2024, making them the most affordable lien search offered in Ontario.
We are lowering several tiers this year. Most members using lien search fall into these top tiers.
As of May 1st, a UCDA lien search will cost only $11 in the first tier!
Further volume discount adjustments have also been made as follows:
VEHICLE HISTORY SEARCHES
In 2024 we lowered the cost of UCDA Vehicle History Searches from
$16 to $15. Members responded by running these searches in increasing volumes. We have taken account of this and now wish to give savings back, once again.
Effective May 1st, Vehicle History Searches will reduce in cost from $15 to $13!
POWER PACK
As mentioned, in 2024, for members with 20 years or more continuous membership in the UCDA, we offered a discount of $4 on Power Pack, reducing that cost from $29 to $25.
We are now extending this offer, as of May 1st, to all members!
Power Pack will now cost all UCDA Members just $25!
