Virginia Speaks Out Against TrueCar Model - Automotive Marketing

Virginia Speaks Out Against TrueCar Model

So... Virginia Car Dealers could be assessed civil penalties or their license could be suspended or revoked if they compensate TrueCar or an other unlicensed entity under any and all of the scenarios that involve utilization of the TrueCar vehicle purchase program. That is a pretty heavy cross to bear just to get lazy and give all your data to TrueCar so they can figure out how to assess your dealership $300 every time they decide to put their name on a deal your sales people got a $100 mini to deliver!

Colorado Bans TrueCar - Department of Revenue and Motor Vehicle Dealer Board - Automotive Marketing

Colorado and Wisconsin Ban TrueCar

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles has sent a letter, dated December 14, to TrueCar informing them that their business model violates Wisconsin law. The department instructed TrueCar to inform all of the Wisconsin dealers participating in TrueCar’s program that the program is not in compliance with Wisconsin law and either discontinue operations in Wisconsin or change their program. The department identified the method of payment (the $299-$399 per sale) as an illegal commission and a bird dog fee.

Yelp Enhanced Profile; Apple's Siri Changes the Value Proposition for Car Dealers Seeking Reputation Management - Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community

Yelp Enhanced Profile; Apple's Siri Changes the Value Proposition for Car Dealers Seeking Reputation Management - Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community

Since 2008 I have designed several Automotive Reputation Management solutions for the auto industry, and have been in a position to monitor and review what components, strategies and tactics seem to work, and to what degree of effectiveness. Because of several factors, including the fast growing size of the Yelp Community and the ever increasing impact of consumer reviews posted within the Yelp network, each package or strategy I have designed since 2008 has included the Yelp Enhanced Dealership Profile... Along with DealerRater Certification and a strong recommendation that participating dealers use an on-site customer posted ratings and reviews process that includes dealer-owned reputation management websites and content syndication systems from either PrestoReviews or BusinessRater.
