The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) CARS Rule has become a hot-button issue in the automotive industry. Designed to increase transparency in car buying, the rule has sparked debate between consumer advocates and dealerships. Mosaic Compliance Services has supported NADA and TADA in a lawsuit challenging the rule by submitting an amicus brief outlining the cost of compliance for dealers.
Mosaic penned an amicus brief to support the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and the Texas Automobile Dealers Association's (TADA) lawsuit against the FTC.
Key Concerns of the CARS Rule
Dealerships argue that the CARS Rule imposes significant costs and burdens. Mosaic's amicus brief highlights the potential financial strain on dealerships nationwide, emphasizing the rule's compliance costs.
Protecting the Industry
James Ganther, CEO of Mosaic Compliance Services, stresses that the decision to oppose the CARS Rule goes beyond financial concerns.

APCO Holdings, Ascent Dealer Services, Auto Advisory Services Corp., Automotive Compliance Education (ACE), Brightline Dealer Advisors, LLC, iA American Warranty Group, Inc., and Portfolio Holding, Inc. are also named in the brief.
