The California CARS Act takes effect October 1, 2026, introducing new requirements—and renewed scrutiny of responsibilities dealers may already have in place. From advertising and lead responses to pricing, payment disclosures, optional products, used-vehicle cancellations, and record retention, the law could affect teams across the dealership.
Join Informativ and Denise W. Branch, Partner at Bass Sox Mercer, former federal prosecutor, and former Chief Legal Officer for a 21-rooftop dealer group, for a practical overview of what is changing, where operational gaps may exist, and what dealers should review with qualified legal counsel now.

Recent FTC warnings to dozens of dealerships made one thing clear: pricing transparency is no longer optional. As regulators sharpen their focus on how payments are presented and how deals are structured, dealers are being pushed to rethink how quickly (and how clearly) they get to a first pencil and today’s customers expect fast, accurate, and transparent lease and finance offers from the very first interaction.
Join Informativ and NADA for this educational webinar to see what payment transparency really means in today’s environment, and how dealers can align speed, accuracy, profitability, and compliance at the desk without adding friction.

The FTC’s March 13 warning letters to 97 auto dealership groups made one thing clear: the collapse of the federal CARS Rule did not end pricing scrutiny.
For automotive software providers, website platforms, digital retailing tools, marketplaces, marketing agencies, and dealer technology partners, that creates a new level of pressure. If your platform touches advertised price, monthly payment, fees, incentives, or lender terms, inaccurate numbers can become a dealer compliance and vendor relationship problem.
Watch this practical conversation between Informativ and Dealer eProcess on how Payments API helps automotive software platforms deliver accurate, real-time, VIN-specific, credit-qualified payments that are built for today’s regulatory environment.
