🚨 Compliance Alert for Dealerships
The Massachusetts Attorney General recently issued new guidance on vehicle advertising, pricing transparency, fees, rebates, and consumer disclosures.
Although directed at Massachusetts dealers, the advisory reflects a growing enforcement trend that should have every compliance officer paying attention.
Ask yourself:
✔️ Does your advertised price match what customers actually pay?
✔️ Are all fees clearly disclosed?
✔️ Have your website and third-party listings been recently audited?
Price transparency remains one of the hottest regulatory topics in the industry.
Read the full alert and see what questions your dealership should be asking before regulators do.
