Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
An automotive repair dealer shall not advertise automotive
					 service at a price which is misleading. Price advertising is misleading in
					 circumstances which include but are not limited to the following:
(a) The automotive repair dealer does not
				  intend to sell the advertised service at the advertised price but intends to
				  entice the consumer into a more costly transaction; or
(b) The advertisement for service has the
				  capacity to mislead the public as to the extent that anticipated parts, labor
				  or other services are included in the advertised price; or
(c) The advertisement for service or repair
				  has the capacity to mislead the public as to the need for additional related
				  parts, labor or other services; or
(d) The automotive repair dealer knows or
				  should know that the advertised service cannot usually be performed in a good
				  and workmanlike manner without additional parts, services or labor; provided,
				  however, that an advertisement which clearly and conspicuously discloses that
				  additional labor, parts or services are often needed will, to that extent, not
				  be regarded as misleading. Any such disclosure statement shall indicate that
				  many instances of performance of the service involve extra cost and, if the
				  automotive dealer reasonably expects that the extra cost will be more than 25%
				  of the advertised costs, that the extra cost may be substantial. The type size
				  of the disclosure statement shall be at least 1/2 the type size used in the
				  advertised price and the statement shall either be shown near the price or
				  shall be prominently footnoted through use of an asterisk or similar
				  reference.
