What must dealers do if they will not be open for business for at least two weeks?

When a dealer will not be open for business for at least two weeks, they are required to notify the Board and post a sign. This procedure is important for maintaining transparency and accountability within the motor vehicle sales industry. By notifying the Board, the dealer ensures that regulatory bodies are aware of their operational status, which is crucial for compliance with licensing and regulatory requirements. Posting a sign at the dealership informs potential customers and the community about the temporary closure, preventing misunderstandings or confusion regarding the dealer's availability.

This practice helps to maintain trust and provides essential information to the public, making it clear that the dealer is temporarily unavailable rather than abandoning their business. It is a form of communication that keeps stakeholders informed and upholds the professional standards expected in the motor vehicle sales industry.
