Auto Dealer Bond: A Closer Look
Any business or individual that wants to become a licensed car dealer is required to obtain an auto dealer bond in almost every state. An auto dealer bond, like other surety bonds, is a guarantee to the state and consumers that the dealer will comply will all state regulations for the industry.
This type of bond is also known by several different names, including DMV bond, dealer bond, used car dealer bond, motor vehicle dealer bond, automobile bond, and car dealer bond.
This bond will protect consumers from situations such as:
- Unethical business practices
- Misrepresentation of the vehicles
- Failure to pay required motor vehicle fees
- Neglecting to make state sales tax payments
- Failing to deliver valid title
If one such situation occurs, the complainant can file a claim against the bond for purposes of recouping their losses. The surety company will determine if the claim is valid. If so, then a payment, up to the total amount of the bond, will be paid and the bonded dealer will then be required to reimburse the surety company for the claim.
