REQUIRED CALIFORNIA DISCLOSURE: CA SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY

The Dealership recognizes the serious nature of the crimes of human trafficking and slavery. We engage with established vendors that comply with safety and human resources laws. We believe that our manufacturer partners are in the best position to audit their respective supply chains to address this important issue. We rely on the efforts of our partners with respect to the supply chain for all vehicles and parts. The Dealership does not independently verify or audit our manufacturer's supply chain, require our manufacturers to certify that parts and materials comply with slavery or human trafficking laws, maintain internal accountability standards, or provide employee training on the prevention of human trafficking in the supply chain. For efforts taken by our vehicle manufacturer, please visit its website.
