Balanced Sales Service Key To Better Business
The Federal Trade Commission opens hearings into new car warranties and auto repairs, with a push from the Transportation Department study on repair and insurance costs. A mid December FTC report cited by Ralph Nader accuses many new cars of poor condition and repair delays, and notes shoddy workmanship and unclear warranty terms. Senate subcommittee findings say dealers lose money on warranty repairs and sometimes bill owners for nonwarranty work, with manufacturers paying lower rates for repairs than private work. The industry faces critique, but a strong shop and sales operation can mutually bolster each other.
