Which condition must a MV dealership meet to avoid being penalized?

To avoid penalties, a motor vehicle dealership must post a clear sign if it operates for less than 40 hours a week. This requirement ensures transparency and informs customers about the dealership's operating hours, which helps them manage their visits accordingly. By properly communicating their hours of operation, dealerships not only comply with regulatory standards but also enhance customer satisfaction by minimizing potential frustration due to unintentional visits when the dealership is closed.

While other options may seem beneficial for business operations or customer engagement, they do not directly relate to a mandatory compliance condition that, if neglected, would result in a penalty. Maintaining a stock of vehicles, displaying promotional materials, and having an online presence are important aspects of running a dealership but do not have the same regulatory implications associated with the hours of operation disclosure.
