What is the Ontario dealership contacts database?
The Ontario dealership contacts database is Hermes Data's verified list of decision-makers at Ontario car dealerships. It covers 14,390 verified contacts across 1,332 franchised and independent rooftops — general managers, dealer principals, controllers, F&I and sales managers, and marketing leaders. Ford is the most-franchised OEM across those rooftops. Ontario is Canada's largest dealership market and would rank among the larger U.S. states on rooftop count, yet most B2B data vendors are U.S.-first and cover it thinly. We treat it as a first-class market and build the data CASL-aware. You filter by franchise, dealer group, role, and region, then export names, titles, and verified emails as a CSV. It's 1 credit per contact, starting at a $0.99 trial.
Canada's largest dealership market, covered properly
14,390 verified decision-makers across 1,332 Ontario rooftops. MVRO's members alone make up one third of all new-vehicle dealers in Canada, supporting 85,300 jobs and $14 billion in GDP. That is not a market that deserves the thin coverage most U.S.-first vendors give it.
CASL-aware by design
Canada's anti-spam law works on consent, not opt-out, and the business-to-business provision is where dealership outbound actually lives. We build the Canadian data with that in mind rather than bolting a province field onto a U.S. product.
The GTA is most of it, but not all of it
Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton carry the density, while Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and Windsor each run as their own market. Filter to the region your rep covers instead of treating the province as one patch.
Pay-as-you-go, no contract
1 credit per contact, priced in the same credits as the rest of the platform. Plans start at $99/month, and a trial costs $0.99. Credits roll over and never expire.
Ontario regions we cover
Compliance & sourcing
CASL governs Canadian commercial email and is stricter than U.S. CAN-SPAM — it runs on consent rather than opt-out. The part that matters for dealership outbound is CASL's business-to-business provision: messages sent to an employee of an organization, about that organization's activities, sit in a different position than cold consumer email. That is a real exemption with real conditions, and it's worth reading against your actual sequence rather than assuming either way. Ontario also regulates its dealers directly through OMVIC, which oversees more than 8,000 registered dealers and 30,000 salespeople, so every rooftop on this list operates under provincial registration — useful context when you're writing to them. Our side: every record is collected from public and dealer sources, verified through a multi-channel process, and tied to a specific rooftop with its parent dealer group attached. It's licensed for your own outbound under our terms of service, and not for resale.

Frequently asked questions
How many car dealerships does the Ontario database cover?
Hermes Data covers 1,332 Ontario dealership rooftops, franchised and independent, with 14,390 verified decision-maker contacts across them. Ontario is the largest dealership market in Canada, and that rooftop count would rank it among the larger U.S. states. You can filter to a region, an OEM franchise, a dealer group, or a role before you export.
Which Ontario regions are included?
All of them. Coverage spans the Greater Toronto Area including Mississauga and Brampton, plus Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Windsor, Oshawa, Barrie, Kingston, and Sudbury. You can filter the database to a single region or to a set that matches your territory.
Is Ontario dealership contact data CASL compliant?
CASL governs Canadian commercial email and is stricter than U.S. CAN-SPAM, because it is built on consent rather than opt-out. It also contains a business-to-business provision covering messages sent to an employee of an organization about that organization's activities, which is the provision most dealership outbound relies on. Hermes Data treats Canada as a first-class market and builds its data CASL-aware, supplying verified business records tied to real rooftops for your own outreach under our terms of service. Reviewing your specific sequence against CASL is still worth doing.
How much does the Ontario dealership database cost?
Pricing is pay-as-you-go: 1 credit per contact. Plans start at $99/month, and a $0.99 trial gets you 20 credits. Credits never expire and there is no annual contract, so you only pay for the Ontario dealership contacts you export.
