Laws requiring manufacturers to reimburse franchised dealers at retail rates for dealer services warranty are active in nearly every state, yet many dealers fail to take full advantage of them. While the concept is simple, the complexities vital to a successful application can be overwhelming.
Wooden Automotive Consultants are experts at warranty rate uplifts with more than 25 years of experience.
Warranty expense for auto manufacturers increased $2 billion between 2018 – 2019 to $49 billion. Much of the increase can be attributed to recalls, expensive technology, and the rise in reimbursement rates for franchised dealers who use dealer warranty services. Manufacturers want to reduce and recover as much of that expense as possible, and the easiest way to do that is by auditing dealers.
