The CARS Act is now in effect. Make sure every deal, and every deal that died, has the records to prove it was handled the right way.
As of October 1, 2026, California dealers must create and keep the records that prove compliance with the CARS Act (SB 766). A missing record is a violation on its own, and most of the records at risk never touch your DMS. They live in text threads, lead emails, lender portals, and the folder on the F&I desk.
This free guide breaks down what the Act requires in plain language and shows you how to build a retention process that holds up when a regulator, attorney, or lender asks.
