CAPSS Compliance Pathway
Colorado Automobile/Powersport Support Services, LLC

August 2015

Greetings!

Exciting changes are here! With Mary Marvin's retirement, CAPSS no longer had a representative on the Eastern Slope. CIADA had no representative on the Western Slope. CIADA and CAPSS have now joined forces to offer better services to all dealers in Colorado.

What does that mean to you? Enhanced support through memberships, continued training throughout Colorado, and dealer supplies offered and shipped from a central location. Read on to see how these changes are being implemented.

FORMS UPDATE: The new DR 2395 Title Application (4-2-15) is available. The new DR 2434 Disclosures Required as a Motor Vehicle/Powersport Vehicle Contract will be out within the next few weeks.

Also, the state updated their fee schedule for the fiscal year July 2015 - June 2016. Check the new fee schedule before renewing your license!

Have you reviewed the federal laws pertaining to dealerships lately? Read what the Federal Trade Commission says about advertising, warranties, credit practices and more. Links to these rules are below.

CAPSS remains dedicated to serving dealerships in Colorado. And we are looking forward to a long and beneficial partnership with CIADA!

Thanks for letting us serve you!
