NEW YORK — Total Dealer Compliance (TDC), a car dealership compliance-auditing firm, today announced the launch of its Virtual Compliance Training platform. This online training solution will help car dealers mitigate risk faced by proactive regulators, creating a culture of compliance at a fraction of the cost. With TDC charging roughly 80% less than their competitors, these Virtual Compliance Training modules will provide affordable access to training, enabling car dealers to be fully compliant with Federal regulations across Sales, BDC, F&I, Fixed Ops, HR, and IT departments.

There are approximately 17,540 franchised automotive dealerships in the United States, while used car dealerships almost triple that number, increasing the need for compliance. TDC’s virtual compliance program comes at an impactful time for dealerships looking to strengthen their reputation and incorporate a culture of compliance without breaking the bank. Compliance is essential in today’s car dealership environment. TDC offers a unique, simple and comprehensive approach that generates fast results and stands above competitive offerings.

TDC’s Virtual Compliance Training is readily available to all dealerships and includes the following:

  • Comprehensive Online Training modules for each department and employee of the dealership

  • Cloud-based e-learning platform with analytic reporting
