The Canada car dealer database,province by province
3,601 Canadian dealership rooftops on exactly the same 28 columns as the U.S. table - franchise mix, live inventory, headcounts, tenure, socials and website tech. Filter to one province or roll up the country, then unlock what you need at 1 credit a rooftop.
What is the Canada car dealer database?
The Canada car dealer database is the rooftop-level record for Canadian dealerships: 3,601 stores, franchised and independent, described by the same 28 columns we use south of the border. That sameness is the point. Most vendors treat Canada as a region flag bolted onto a U.S. product, which means a Canadian account universe arrives with different fields, different franchise spellings and a different definition of a store. Here the country column simply reads CA, the province sits in the state column as a two-letter code, and every other field - OEM franchises carried, live inventory, employee and decision-maker counts, founded year, social profiles, website provider, website product, martech signals - behaves identically. That is what lets a market-entry plan for Canada be built in the same spreadsheet as the U.S. one.
A real Canadian account universe
3,601 rooftops across the provinces, not a thin sample. CADA reports an industry whose franchised new-car dealerships employ more than 160,000 people and generate over $28 billion in GDP, and a market that size deserves better than the handful of Toronto stores most U.S.-built databases can show you.
Phase a rollout one province at a time
Set the country filter to Canada and the province filter to the market you are opening first. Buy those rooftops, work them, then come back for the next province - stores you already own are skipped at order time rather than charged again, so a staged entry costs the same as buying the country at once.
The franchise column reads the same in both countries
OEM franchises are pipe-delimited on every record, e.g. Ford|Lincoln, so a multi-franchise Canadian rooftop sorts next to its U.S. equivalent. If your product is licensed per brand, you can pull one brand's Canadian dealer body without hand-mapping names across two files.
One wallet, both countries
There is no separate Canadian subscription and no region to license. Credits are the universal spend unit at 1 per rooftop, and the same balance covers U.S. rooftops, verified contacts and the 1,432 parent dealer groups we track.

Compliance & sourcing
Nothing in a Canadian Dealers record is personal information: it describes a registered place of business, and the two headcount fields are totals rather than staff lists. The record also holds no email addresses at all, so it cannot function as a mailing list on its own - CASL only comes into play once you pair it with people data from our Contacts product and start sending, and CASL runs on consent rather than the opt-out standard U.S. senders are used to. Our side: the file is licensed for use inside your business, and not for resale or redistribution as data.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Canada car dealer database?
It is a firmographic record for 3,601 Canadian dealership rooftops, franchised and independent, on the same 28-column schema as the U.S. data: name and legal entity, address with the province in the state column, department phone lines, OEM franchises carried, live inventory count, founded year and years in business, employee and decision-maker counts, social profiles, and website provider, product and martech signals. Rooftops cost 1 credit each.
Can I filter to a single province?
Yes. Filter on country for Canada and on the two-letter province code for the market you want, then narrow further by city, postal code, OEM franchise, website provider, inventory range, employee-count range or years in business. Preview shows the exact rooftop count for that combination before you spend a credit.
Are the Canadian records different from the U.S. ones?
No. Same columns, same field meanings, same daily rebuild of the underlying export. The country column reads CA instead of US and the province sits where a U.S. state code would, which is the only structural difference. That is deliberate: it means a North American territory model does not need two schemas or a mapping step between them.
How much does Canadian dealership data cost?
1 credit per rooftop, billed from the same shared balance as every other Hermes product - there is no Canada-specific plan or minimum. Starter is $99/month for 150 credits, Growth $249 for 500 and Scale $999 for 5,000, and a $0.99 trial gives you 20 credits to sample the country with.
