If a consumer files a complaint against a motor vehicle dealer, the compliance examiner helps determine the problem and resolve it with the dealership. An individual who sells more than three vehicles a year must be a licensed motor vehicle dealer. The DMV also registers Florida-based commercial vehicles and collects fees under the International Registration Plan, the International Fuel Tax Agreement and the Fuel Use Tax Program. These programs ensure that motor carriers pay their fair share of road use and fuel taxes in the states where they operate. Field auditors check trucking company records for accuracy of fees and fuel tax reports.
Examiners inspect units at manufacturing plants during all phases of construction.
They monitor the plant's quality assurance programs to ensure mobile homes and RVs meet federal and state standards. Examiners also investigate consumer complaints by inspecting the unit to determine whether the manufacturer or dealer is responsible for repairs.
