Adapting to CARS Rule – Compliance Strategies for Auto Dealers

The automotive sector is experiencing a profound evolution, driven heavily by technological advancements. With this progress comes increased responsibility, particularly regarding data security and customer privacy. While the rule is currently under legal challenge, the Customer Automotive Repair Security (CARS) Rule by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) mandates new guidelines for dealerships nationwide, including those in Orlando. Complying with its core principles demonstrates your commitment to data security and protects your Orlando dealership from potential risks.

What is the CARS Rule?

The CARS Rule emphasizes transparency and consumer control over personal information collected during car repairs and maintenance. This includes data like names, addresses, vehicle identification numbers (VINs), and repair history.

Why Compliance Matters

Non-compliance with the CARS Rule can lead to hefty fines and reputational damage for your Orlando dealership. Navigating the nuances of the rule and implementing the required safeguards can be complex, especially for smaller dealerships with limited IT resources.
