car dealers: good car dealer education will prepare you for a surprise visit from the dmv police   1 comment

our car dealer pre-licensing class

recently held at a local car dealership

was surprised by a visit from the dmv police

four plainclothes dmv investigators in black unmarked chrysler 300′s

arrived at this local dealership for what they described as a ” dmv spot check ”

they explained this unannounced visit to the dealership by dmv investigations staff

was part of a dmv effort to ensure compliance by local dealers to existing dmv regulations

the dmv police fanned out and inspected all of the vehicles at this small dealership

the dmv police inspected the entire location & the sales office

the dmv police requested access to the secured deal jackets in the owners office

the owner of the dealership was not present at the time of  this ” dmv spot check ”

these dmv police are part of a team of 230 dmv investigation staff throughout california

they were courteous & professional, knowledgeable & willing to listen to my questions

we discussed:

the differences between dmv investigations & dmv inspectors

the buyer’s guide posting requirements from the FTC

the signage requirements and our three gotplates.com dealer office signs

the red flag rules for car dealers offering credit to buyers

the recent dmv red flags memo directing dealers to become red flag compliant

the need for posted business hours at each retail location

the car buyer bill of rights provisions

our pre-licensing dealer class was actually enhanced by this ” dmv spot check ”

the dmv police visit placed emphasis on the retail car dealer rules and the importance

of each car dealer to keep the office in order, signs posted as required & dmv paperwork secured

this local car dealership did well with its ” dmv spot check ” by dmv investigations

good dealer education is the crux of dmv rules compliance

comprehensive training and an understanding of the dmv rulebook

as it pertains to your car dealership is what we are all about

+++

our conclusion:

the ” dmv spot check ” by the dmv police for dmv rules compliance is a great idea

keep your dealership in good working order with our certified dmv dealer education

car dealer news: dmv announces new smog requirements for 2010 to include diesel powered vehicles   no comments

Vehicle Industry News VIN 2009–28
Smog Certification for Diesel-Powered Vehicles

New Legislation

Effective January 1, 2010, smog emission inspections are required for diesel-powered vehicles manufactured in or after 1998, and have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,000 pounds or less for original registrations and transfers.

Biennial smog inspection requirements will be phased-in beginning with a registration renewal date of April 30, 2010.

Procedures
A smog check inspection is required:

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/vin_memos/vin2009/09vin28.pdf

The 4-year rule that currently exempts gas-powered vehicles, four or less model-years old, from transfer smog is not applicable to diesel-powered vehicles. A smog transfer fee will not be due for diesel-powered vehicles as they must obtain a smog certificate.

The 6-year rule that currently exempts gas-powered vehicles, six or less model-years old, from biennial smog is not applicable to diesel-powered vehicles. A smog abatement fee will not be due for diesel-powered vehicles as they must obtain a smog certificate.

Exemptions applicable to gas-powered vehicles located in non-biennial counties, family transfers, and obtaining a smog for a transfer within the past 12 months, will also apply to diesel-powered vehicles.
New vehicle dealers may certify on the New Vehicle Report of Sale (REG 397) that new diesel-powered vehicles with a GVWR of 14,000 pounds or less, meets emission requirements.

Vehicles that fail the smog check inspection may be eligible for the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP). Qualified consumers will be eligible for financial assistance for emission-related repairs or they can choose to retire their high-polluting vehicle.

All questions regarding diesel-powered vehicle smog requirements should be referred to the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), at 1-800-952-5210, or visit www.smogcheck.ca.gov.
Background

Effective January 1, 2010, legislation expands the motor vehicle smog inspection program to include “diesel-powered” vehicles manufactured in 1998, and newer, with a GVWR of 14,000 pounds or less for original registrations, transfers, and renewals.
