There is a huge ‘certification’ gap in our industry that represents a potential loss of billions of dollars by used car dealers.

May Sales Drop – A Blip or a Trend?
Just when we were beginning to feel good about the auto industry following eight months of sales growing by percentages in the double digits, sales plunged in May, down 4% from May of last year.
