KPA Presents-Maryland Special: What Will They Fine Me For?

Inspections are almost always unannounced, and rarely come at a time when it is convenient for you - are you prepared?

 

Environmental and Safety Regulators at both the State and Federal levels have certainly made their presence felt in the new car dealer market. We'll review what inspectors have been addressing during these visits, and what you need to have in place to protect your dealership from taking out your checkbook. Rob Stansbury will teach you how to develop and implement a plan of action for when an inspector shows up on your doorstep.

 

If you are unable to attend the webinar at this time, please register anyway and you will be sent a link to a recording of the webinar along with the presentation slides.

 

Date: Tuesday April 16, 2013

Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm Eastern

 

If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Becky Ross at bross@kpaonline.com, (866) 356-1735.

 

Register Today!
