SERVICES - AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIPS
There are many exciting, new changes on the horizon for automobile dealerships. Public auto groups, used car superstores, consolidations, and "buy here/pay here" stores are becoming more common. Many challenges face an automobile dealership today, from manufacturers to increasing state and federal regulation enforcement and the growing area of consumer protection. Franchise agreements now require a right of first refusal, facility improvement requirements, approval of executive management and other unattractive provisions. Regulation Z, Truth in Lending, Gramm Leach Bliley and Safeguards Rule, advertising regulations, Lemon Laws, stand alone franchises and manufacturer reporting are terms with which dealers are becoming all too familiar.
