Which document must a dealer provide if they offer a warranty?

When a dealer offers a warranty on a vehicle, it is essential to provide a contract detailing the warranty terms. This document outlines the specifics of the warranty, including coverage, duration, and procedures for claims, ensuring transparency and protecting the rights of the buyer. It serves to inform the consumer of what is included under the warranty and any obligations they may have.

This requirement enhances consumer confidence in the transaction, as it establishes clear expectations and responsibilities for both the dealer and the buyer. Providing a detailed warranty contract is a best practice in the automotive sales industry and is often mandated by regulatory bodies to protect consumers.

In contrast, other documents such as an advertising compliance document, a business license, or manufacturer’s approval do not specifically address the warranty terms relevant to the warranty being offered. Each of these documents serves different purposes, such as ensuring that advertising adheres to regulations, that the dealer is legally authorized to operate, or that the vehicle complies with manufacturer standards, but they do not serve to inform customers about warranty terms.
