Your Next Audit Is Already Scheduled.
Your Defense Isn't.
U.S. dealerships and fleet operators absorbed $847 million in regulatory penalties in 2024 — 68% of which were issued to businesses with no active compliance program.
Three crises. Three resolutions.
All preventable.
Every case below began with a client who assumed their documentation was sufficient. It wasn't.
“The DMV audit notice arrived on a Tuesday. Comply had our title-brand documentation indexed and a defense brief on the examiner's desk by Friday. Eleven days later, the investigation was closed — no fines, no license action.”

“Our DOT roadside inspection pass rate was sitting at 74% — every failure was a $9,000 fine and a 34-hour detention. Comply rebuilt our HOS logging protocol across all three state jurisdictions. We're at 98% now.”

EPA fine avoided
A single sourcing memo — identifying non-compliant catalytic converters before installation — blocked a Clean Air Act Section 203 enforcement action.
“I had no idea my cat converter supplier was selling parts that violated EPA Clean Air Act Section 203. Comply reviewed my entire sourcing chain, issued a corrective memo, and briefed my staff before the inspector ever arrived. The fine they quoted me was $37,000.”

Every engagement begins
with a risk index.
We don't offer generic compliance packages. We map your specific regulatory exposure — jurisdiction by jurisdiction, regulation by regulation — then build the file that closes it.
Audit Preparation
We map every documentation gap before the examiner arrives. Title-brand records, emissions test histories, CARB exemption filings, and recall completion logs are indexed, cross-referenced, and presented in examiner-ready format.
Risks addressed
Avg. 11-day preparation window from notice to submission
Ongoing Monitoring
Regulatory requirements shift. FMCSA hours-of-service rules, EPA emissions standards, and state DMV title regulations update on overlapping cycles. We monitor every applicable jurisdiction and flag changes before they become violations.
Risks addressed
98% average client pass rate on unannounced inspections
Incident Response
When an enforcement action lands on your desk, you have hours — not days — to respond correctly. Our incident response team activates within 48 hours, assembles your defense record, and coordinates directly with regulatory counsel.
Risks addressed
Zero license suspensions for clients who activated within 72 hours

We monitor every agency
that monitors you.
Automotive compliance doesn't live in a single agency. EPA, FMCSA, NHTSA, CARB, and state DMV requirements overlap, conflict, and update on different cycles. Comply maintains active monitoring across all six federal and state frameworks relevant to your business type.
