🚗💡 NEW legislation I cosponsored (A.6549) has passed in the State Assembly today. This bill requires used motor vehicle dealers to check for manufacturer's recalls on their inventory and make necessary repairs before selling vehicles. To ensure road safety and protect consumers, addressing vehicle recalls before they're sold is crucial. Currently, manufacturers only notify the registered owner of safety recalls, leaving dealerships and buyers unaware. But with this bill, drivers can trust that their purchased vehicle is free from any outstanding safety recalls. Your safety is top priority! Let's keep our roads safe and give drivers peace of mind. 🛣️ #SafetyFirst #RecallProtection #SafeDriving

This is in the U.S but it is unfortunate the perception of the car business by the general public.... A new federal rule is about to make car buying a lot less expensive A trip to the dealership is about to become less intimidating for consumers. Patricia BattleDec 13, 2023 6:46 PM EST When an individual steps foot inside of a car dealership, it’s often equated to walking inside of a lion's den. For years, consumers looking to buy a car have had to armor themselves up against deceptive negotiation tactics often used by dealers, but that soon may become a thing of the past. The Federal Trade Commission recently finalized a new rule called Combating Auto Retail Scams, which fights illegal tactics such as hidden fees and bait-and-switch tactics that consumers often battle when trying to purchase a new vehicle. It is set to take effect on July 30, 2024.

You know you’re onto something when there are almost 2,000 people who attend your webinar. And, over 500 questions submitted. Last week the Federal Trade Commission announced the Combating Auto Retail Scams (CARS) Rule - it goes into effect in six months - July 30, 2024. Dealers, eager to learn how this will drastically change the way they do business, tuned in to hear the experts at ComplyAuto break down the Rule. We’re working on scheduling a follow up webinar to answer more questions because even after going 30 minutes over, we only scratched the surface. Stay tuned for more.

Within 3 days of having purchased a Ford Focus RS, my clients discovered various latent defects which were not disclosed before the sale, which defects rendered the vehicle unsafe, of poor quality and not of the standard that was reasonably expected for the vehicle's intended use. Their cries for assistance went unanswered for months whereafter, they were told that "the customer is always king" but then left with no relief or suitable assistance. Being a passionate car enthusiast and an attorney at the time when my clients and I started this journey, I am overjoyed to see that the National Consumer Tribunal has reaffirmed the principles relating to a consumers rights in terms of section 55 and 56 of the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008, as amended ("the Act"). One ought to remember that when purchasing a second hand vehicle, the consumer has a right to safe and good quality goods with the automatic application of an implied warranty against all latent defects. The National Consumer Tribunal's findings are welcomed and serve to re-assure unsuspecting customers that where they discover a latent defect within 6 (Six) months of taking delivery of the vehicle and such defects result in the vehicle failing to satisfy the requirements or standards contemplated in section 55 of the Act, the supplier must, at the direction of the consumer: 1. Repair or Replace the failed, unsafe or defective vehicle; or 2. Refund to the consumer the price paid for the vehicle. More importantly, second hand car dealerships are not exempt from complying with the provisions of the Act and where any dealership is found to have contravened the Act or to have performed prohibited conduct in terms thereof, an administrative fine may be imposed of 10 (Ten) percent of the dealership's annual turnover or R1,000,000.00 (One Million Rand), whichever amount is the lesser. https://lnkd.in/dQa4QXA5 https://lnkd.in/dyxX32an https://lnkd.in/dmbMXvSZ

#FREEADVICE If Ford wants to be # 1 and stay # 1 Focus on quality in everything you do. The hell with everything else. If your quality is not the best your customers will find it somewhere else. Your price can't be improved with rebates and low rates. Your quality should determine your price. CURTIS MAYFIELD Take nothing less than the supreme best. MOVE ON UP.

The cost of brake repairs can vary widely depending on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, the type of brake system it has, and where you get the repairs done. On average, though, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per axle for a standard brake pad replacement. If additional brake components, such as rotors, calipers, or brake fluid, need replacement or if there are other issues with the braking system, the cost can increase. High-performance or luxury vehicles may also have higher brake repair costs. Keep in mind that labor costs can vary by location, so prices may differ based on where you live. It's always a good idea to obtain quotes from different auto repair shops to get a more accurate estimate for your specific situation. Regular maintenance and addressing brake issues promptly can help prevent more significant problems and potentially save you money in the long run. www.thelandautorepair.com (855) CLE-AUTO
