What This Means for Your Dealership
Wyoming's franchise law includes basic warranty reimbursement provisions. While the statute is less detailed than neighboring Colorado and Montana — two of the strongest states — it establishes the right to fair compensation.
Wyoming dealers serve vast territories with correspondingly higher operating costs. These costs are reflected in retail rates and provide a strong basis for warranty reimbursement increases, even under a basic statutory framework.
Key Provisions
- Motor vehicle dealer franchise protections under state law
- Manufacturers must fairly compensate for warranty work
- Dealers can petition for rate adjustments
- Department of Transportation provides oversight
What's Excluded from Calculations
The following repair types and transactions are typically excluded when calculating your retail warranty reimbursement rate:
- Goodwill and policy repairs
- Internal and employee vehicles
- Wholesale transactions
