🚨 The FTC confirmed it: auto dealer advertising has officially changed.

On April 17, 2026, the FTC joined NADA on a webinar addressing 97 dealerships that received warning letters. The message was clear, the old way of advertising vehicles is no longer acceptable.

Mom always had a way of spotting things before anyone else.
Turns out…she was right about a lot more than we realized.

💐 Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who taught us to pay attention to the details.

Good advertising starts behind the scenes.

Having a simple checklist for things like pricing, disclosures, and consistency can save your team from bigger issues later on.

Taking a few extra minutes to review an ad before it goes live is a small step that can make a big difference.

A good ad doesn’t just get clicks, it holds up.

Clear pricing, real disclosures, and consistency across every platform matters.

When your ads are clean and transparent, you’re not just checking a box, you’re protecting your dealership and your reputation.

Regulators are paying closer attention, and dealers should be too. We’re seeing more focus on advertising, pricing, and overall compliance, especially when things don’t align clearly for consumers.

Now’s a good time to take a second look at your processes, clean up any gray areas, and make sure everything is as clear and consistent as it should be.

If you advertise a price, you need to honor it. There’s no such thing as an “internet-only” price that doesn’t apply in-store. Discrepancies between advertised pricing and actual transactions can quickly turn into legal issues.
