TORONTO, August 12, 2025 — Clutch, Canada’s leading online used car retailer, today announced that its CEO, Dan Park, has been appointed to the Industry Advisory Council of the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC), the province’s vehicle sales regulator.
Dan Park brings a modern, technology-driven perspective to the Industry Advisory Council at a pivotal moment for the automotive industry, where digital innovation and consumer demand for transparency are reshaping how cars are bought and sold.
“Canadian car shoppers now expect to buy their next vehicle as easily as any other online purchase—today, virtually every used-car transaction is online in some form, whether it begins or ends digitally,” said Dan Park, CEO of Clutch. “Clutch’s mission to deliver the most transparent, customer-centric buying and selling experience aligns well with OMVIC’s mandate to protect consumers and uphold fairness in the marketplace. As buyer behaviour continues to evolve, the regulations that safeguard them must keep pace, and I’m honoured to help support that progress as a member of OMVIC’s Industry Advisory Council.”
Founded in 2016, Clutch has transformed the used car buying experience in Canada by offering an online, end-to-end platform that prioritizes transparency, convenience, and trust. Customers can browse, finance, insure, and receive delivery of vehicles at home, all backed by Clutch’s 10-day money-back guarantee and comprehensive 210-point inspection.
“Buying a vehicle is the second-largest purchase most Ontarians will make,” Park added. “As new business models emerge, it’s essential that we provide consumers with the same level of protection and clarity they’ve come to expect, no matter how they choose to buy.”
