Uplift
We support the changes until they stick.
Can I collect the same labor rate and parts markup on warranty as on customer pay?
Yes. It is the law in nearly every state, yet many dealers have not taken advantage of it.
Will the factory audit me if I apply?
Most state laws are written to protect dealers from punitive factory audits. In 30+ years, no client has been audited because of a rate increase.
Why hire a consultant instead of doing it myself?
The factory has legal experts dedicated to keeping your rate low. Ask whether you have the experience, the time, detailed knowledge of the law, and the tools to get every dollar.
What does it cost?
A low, flat fee. We never take a percentage of your increase.
How long does it take?
Most states give the factory 30 days to review your claim once it is submitted. We handle every step before and after.
