Scorecard: AutoNation — franchise scale with written policy

Largest franchised auto dealer group in the country, and the scorecard reflects what scale with a corporate policy layer buys a customer:

  • Vehicle disclosure: published inspection standards on used inventory; stores produced inspection sheets in all three of our test visits.
  • Return/remedy: money-back window on used purchases — terms vary by store and state, so the scorecard requires it in writing on the buyer's order.
  • Paperwork hygiene: itemized orders standard; add-on pitches present but declinable, consistent with franchise norms.
  • Watch items: finance-office markups — bring outside approval; doc fees at state-typical levels.

Contracts note appended: in our sampled AutoNation buyer's orders, every add-on appeared as a separate declinable line — the format the rubric rewards. Keep submissions coming so the sample stays current.
