Automotive & Dealership Accessibility

Automotive & Dealership Accessibility

Dealership websites are built from third-party pieces — inventory search, financing calculators, chat widgets, scheduling tools — and any one of them can make the whole site an ADA target. We test the full stack the way a real customer with a screen reader uses it.

Where Dealership Sites Break

Third-party inventory and financing plugins. Chatbots and live-chat widgets that screen readers can’t operate. Image-heavy listings without structured alternatives. Multi-step finance applications. And franchise groups sharing one inaccessible template across every rooftop.

Compliance Requirements

ADA Title III — dealerships are frequent lawsuit targets — with WCAG 2.2 AA as the practical standard, plus state-level statutes like California’s Unruh Act that add damages.

What We Do for Automotive

Full-site audits including every embedded widget. Chatbot and conversational-UI accessibility reviews. Vendor-fix coordination — we write the tickets your platform providers understand. Template-level remediation that fixes every rooftop in a dealer group at once.

Proven: Ken Garff

Frequently Asked Questions

Our site comes from a dealer-platform vendor - can you still help?
Yes. We audit what your customers actually experience, separate template issues from content issues, and write vendor tickets that get fixes shipped.
Who fixes third-party widgets?
The vendor usually must – but they respond to specific, WCAG-mapped tickets far better than to complaints. Writing those is part of our job.
Can you audit one template for our whole dealer group?
Yes – template-level auditing is the economical path for groups: fix once, verify across a sample of rooftops.
What makes chatbots fail accessibility?
Focus that never moves to new messages, unlabeled controls, keyboard traps and missing announcements. Our Ken Garff engagement was exactly this review.
