Dealers fight Autotrader over increased advertising costs!
15 March 2011
Over 600 dealers are now backing The Motor Traders Advertising Union (MTAU) in their bid to tackle the increasing advertising rates with Autotrader.
The MTAU was formed after a dealer who prefers to remain anonymous, became unhappy with the service being provided by Autotrader. They claim that constant price increase and inconsistent pricing between dealers has led to this action being taken.
The MTAU is looking for a fair pricing policy scheme in place for many online advertising sites.
The MTAU website and MTAU facebook state that independent dealers are being squeezed by Autotrader.
