There has been an increase in customer lawsuits
against dealers, including class actions and in government
agency investigations of dealers. The financial exposure for
a dealership can be tremendous.
The
Dealer Protection Program assists the dealer in limiting the
dealership’s exposure
to legal claims arising from dealership operations. The Florida
Automobile Dealers Association endorses the Dealer Protection
Program.
Even
the most “hands-on” dealer
needs help staying updated on the latest legal requirements
regarding not only forms,
but procedures and other dealership operational matters.
Dealers
receive information from various sources and attempt to stay
in legal compliance regarding dealership matters. However,
it takes hours upon hours to gather, digest and implement legal
information regarding dealership sales operations to attempt
to keep your dealership in compliance with federal and state
legal regulations.
Based upon their extensive dealership experience, Adams,
Quinton & Paretti perform a multi-phase methodical legal
examination at your dealership geared to your specific operations
to help bring your dealership into compliance with legal
provisions applicable to dealership sales and service operations
and to help avoid the common legal pitfalls threatening Florida
dealerships. The numerous topics covered in the Dealer Protection
Program, addressing both forms issues and procedural issues,
are compiled from the firm's substantial automotive experience
and knowledge regarding dealership regulations and areas
of exposure. For more information regarding the review methods,
topic areas and prices, please contact
us.
As one dealer/client stated, "A single claim against
the dealership will cost far more than the Dealer Protection
Program fee and the additional protection helps me sleep
at night".

| Wouldn’t a Simple
Forms Review Cover Me In Case of Legal Trouble? |
 |
| No, because most consumer
lawsuits or government agency actions today address procedural
failures, not simply form deficiencies.
Federal and Florida laws change over the years and judges constantly
address legal compliance issues for dealers, interpreting the application
of dealer laws and the impact it has on dealers. Your dealership
faces substantial legal exposure if it is not in compliance
with the latest procedural requirements. |
 |
| How Will the Dealer Protection Program Protect
Me? |
 |
The Dealer Protection Program
addresses both form issues and procedure issues arising from
state and federal law. The review is geared to your specific
dealership operations to help bring your dealership into compliance
with the latest changes in dealership legal requirements. The
program evaluates your dealership operations for deficiencies
and provides recommendations and forms to assist in compliance.
