HUNT VALLEY, MD, October 17, 2019 – Armatus Dealer Uplift, the industry leader in retail warranty reimbursement submissions, today announced that the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) has named Armatus as the exclusive licensed vendor of Retail Warranty Reimbursement submission services for the CNCDA membership.

“AB-179 is amongst the most significant franchise legislation enacted for California’s new car dealers and is one of the strongest laws in the country. We are confident that our experience, technology and processes can considerably boost the bottom line for California dealers,” stated Joe Jankowski, Managing Member of Armatus Dealer Uplift.

“On January 1, 2020, AB-179 will take effect; it is a huge victory for all Californians, local businesses and consumers alike.
