"The Battle for Control: Automakers Vs. Dealers - Who Will Win?"

from The Motor Files Podcast · host Chris Clarke

Growing tensions between franchised dealers and legacy automakers over evolving sales models and vehicle service work are emerging as key issues in statehouses across the US this year. Several state dealer associations are backing legislation to amend franchise laws that govern the relationship between dealerships and the automakers whose brands they sell. Automakers argue that many of the laws governing the franchise system are outdated, add unnecessary costs and make it harder to adapt to changing market demands and customer expectations. Meanwhile, dealers aim to preserve their role in the sales model, and are pushing to prevent automakers from competing directly with franchised retailers. In the end, the dealers want to ensure that they remain central to the retail experience for consumers.Grab a copy of my book:https://partsmanagerpro.gumroad.com/l..."The Parts Manager Guide" - https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Manager-...Please remember to like, share and leave your comments.Podcasts are uploaded weekly.Visit my website for more!https://www.partsmanagerprof.com/You can find the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNmnxGzDCuEIf you want me to continue making videos like these, please donate to our paypal account: paypal.me/partsmanagerpro00:14 intro00:31 Automakers and Dealers clash02:08 Dealer wants strengthened protection02:47 Dealer roles 03:40 Level playing field04:36 Challenge the status quo05:01 Ford Price gouging5:28 The Parts Manager GuideFair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.
