Understanding Auto Dealer Bonding

Prior to receiving their motor vehicle dealer license, applicants typically have to provide a surety bond guaranteeing their dealership will comply with industry regulations. This type of license and permit bond goes by a variety of names from one state to another: automobile bond, car dealer bond, dealer bond, wholesale dealer bond, motor vehicle dealer bond, used car dealer bond, etc.

Regardless of the name, dealer bonds are used to protect consumers from fraud and other wrongful actions committed by dealerships and their employees. However, the exact protection an auto dealer bond provides depends on state and/or local laws.
