About the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund

The Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund is a consumer protection program financed by Ontario’s registered motor vehicle dealers. Should a consumer have an unresolved complaint with a motor vehicle purchase or lease agreement, then the consumer may have access to the compensation fund which provides financial assistance to consumers who make a valid claim for a vehicle transaction against a registered dealer.
