What is the minimum number of hours that all motor vehicle dealers must operate per week?

The minimum number of hours that all motor vehicle dealers must operate per week is 12 hours. This requirement ensures that dealerships are accessible for consumers who may want to shop for vehicles, ask questions, or complete transactions. By establishing a 12-hour minimum, the state promotes a more consistent and reliable business environment for both buyers and sellers, fostering trust and ensuring that dealerships maintain a level of service that meets consumer needs.

The choice of 12 hours balances the necessity for dealer availability with the operational capabilities of smaller dealerships, which may not have the resources to operate longer hours. It ultimately aims to enhance customer experience and streamline vehicle sales processes across the state.
