What must a dealership do if it is closed for two weeks or more?

When a dealership is closed for two weeks or more, it is important for them to communicate their status to customers to maintain transparency and ensure customer awareness. Posting a sign indicating that the dealership is closed serves this purpose effectively. This allows customers who visit the location to immediately understand that the business is not operating and prevents confusion or frustration.

In this context, simply notifying customers in writing may not reach all individuals who might visit the dealership, particularly walk-in customers who could show up without prior notice. Closing permanently is an extreme measure that is not required just because the dealership is temporarily closed. Additionally, reducing sale prices is not a mandated action related to being closed; it is a separate business decision that would typically depend on inventory and market conditions rather than the temporary closure itself. Thus, the act of posting a sign is a crucial step in managing customer expectations and maintaining good public relations during the closure period.
