§ 9-32-13-15 — Retail rates

Indiana § 9-32-13-15

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 9: MOTOR VEHICLES
• Art. 32: DEALER SERVICES
• Ch. 13: Unfair Practices

Text

(a) It is an unfair practice for a manufacturer
or distributor to fail to compensate a dealer at the dealer's retail rate for
the work and services the dealer is required to perform in connection
with the dealer's delivery and preparation obligations under any
franchise, or fail to compensate a dealer anything less than the dealer's
retail rate for labor and parts under the manufacturer's warranty
agreements as long as the dealer's retail rate is reasonable. Judgment of
the reasonableness includes consideration of charges for similar repairs
by similarly situated repair facilities in Indiana.
(b) This section does not authorize a manufacturer or distributor and
its franchisees in Indiana to establish a uniform hourly labor
reimbursement rate effective for the entire state.
(c) This section does not apply to manufacturers or distributors of
manufactured housing, heavy duty vocational vehicles (as defined in
49 CFR 523.8), or recreational vehicles.
