Do you know what to do if someone goes into cardiac arrest? Should you start performing CPR, or should you retrieve an AED first? You never know when you might find yourself as a bystander, but knowing the proper steps in that scenario could save a life.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending the NADA Washington Conference alongside our chairman, Marshall Jespersen, and NADA director, David Hammer. During this event, we engaged in person with members of our congressional delegation and their staff/policy experts to discuss federal issues that could significantly impact auto dealers in New Hampshire.

We are gearing up for another exciting and impactful recruiting season dedicated to promoting careers in automotive. This past summer was spent connecting NHADA member businesses with students and career and technical education (CTE) programs, and we are thrilled to continue our efforts this fall.

Every year, as dealers begin to work on their annual labor rate submissions, many are quick to grab their policies and procedures manuals to get started. For most, it’s a process that may involve filling out a competitive survey, producing a certain amount of consecutive qualified repair orders or a combination of the two. Does this process yield as much of an increase as the dealership wants or is entitled to? Many times, the answer is no.

As the weather cools and daylight hours dwindle, NHADA member employees encounter seasonal hazards like slippery roads and reduced visibility. To help mitigate these risks, Loss Prevention offers two concise (10-minute) industry-specific video trainings designed to raise awareness and promote best practices for injury prevention.

Recently, our Auto Dealership Services Team shared an article that centered on a parts and service director charged with defrauding their auto dealership employer. This employee’s scheme involved ordering and receiving expensive manufacturer parts outside of the dealership’s dealer management system (DMS), selling

What is Managed Care?
In 1991, the New Hampshire Legislature passed a Managed Care pilot program as part of a Workers’ Compensation reform bill. Managed Care was successfully utilized in other states to help control workers’ compensation costs by using nurse case managers or injury management facilitators (IMFs) to assist the injured worker with accessing the most appropriate and specialized medical treatment available within a network of providers immediately after an injury occurs.

On Oct. 9, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans heard oral arguments regarding the Petition for Review filed by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and the Texas Automobile Dealers Association (TADA) challenging the FTC CARS Rule (a.k.a. The Vehicle Shopping Rule). The case is National Automobile Dealers Association & Texas Automobile Dealers Association v. FTC, No. 24-60013, 5th Cir. (Jan. 5, 2024).

On Aug. 20, 2024, a federal judge upheld a challenge to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Non-Complete Clause Rule (Rule), blocking it nationwide. It was originally scheduled to go into effect on Sept. 4. The Rule, which faced numerous court challenges, aimed to invalidate most non-compete clauses in the United States, subjecting violators to fines, penalties and injunctive relief. The court’s decision blocks the Rule nationwide, and businesses do not need to take steps to comply with the rule.

For years, members and partners have gathered at the annual convention to network with industry peers, exchange business ideas and enjoy some quality time with their families. Many attendees have even forged lifelong friendships at this event!
