The Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association (CARA) is a prominent organization representing new vehicle dealerships in Connecticut. With a rich automotive history, CARA's 251 members sell a wide range of automobile brands, contributing to nearly 18% of total retail sales in the state. These dealerships not only have economic significance but also play a vital role in supporting local communities through financial contributions to charities and providing employment opportunities for over 12,000 individuals.
As a driving force in Connecticut's economy, CARA's members are committed to promoting electric vehicles and are partnered with the state's CHEAPR program, which incentivizes the purchase of EVs. Additionally, CARA advocates for consumer protection by ensuring compliance with state and federal safety laws, fair warranties, and guidelines for safety recalls. Opposing any legislation that undermines consumer protection, CARA prioritizes the interests of local auto dealerships and their hardworking employees.
