Dealer Membership · 2026

Become the only logical choice in your market.

In March 2026 the FTC put 97 dealer groups and 200+ rooftops on notice over pricing it calls deceptive. An A on the Dealer Transparency Index is independent proof your pricing is clean — from the brand 800,000+ buyers already trust. CarEdge Certified turns that grade into traffic, leads, and the loudest voice in your market.
