New-Resources-on-Processing-Fees-FEATURE: A man sits at a computer with one hand on a laptop keyboard and the other taking notes on a notepad.

Processing fees remain one of the most asked-about — and sometimes misunderstood — parts of the vehicle transaction. To help, VADA has created a new suite of resources for you and your customers.

  • A one-page information sheet you can download and share with staff or buyers.
  • An updated website with answers to common questions and background information you can point consumers to.

Both are designed to help you explain the value of processing fees, the services they cover and the transparency requirements under Virginia law.

A graphic that has two icons: One with a magnifying glas searching papers with the words "Transparency, Unlike many other service providers, Virginia motor vehicle dealers are required by law to disclose their fees in advertising and on the walls of their dealerships." And another icon of a money bag in from of a tax document with up and down arrows, with the words Processing Fees. The processing fee for auto dealer services is taxable. These tax contributions are used to fund transportation and safety in the common wealth".
