The review sites should be working for the car dealerships not against them. Sites like DealerRater are a drain on car dealerships and try to force them into signing up and paying for something extra. There's a reason they don't want dealers posting reviews on behalf of their customers, and I'll tell you this it's not because it's fraud. It's because they want more customers to sign up and drive more traffic to their sites. If a dealer has a PAPER copy of a REAL review, they should be allowed to post it. If they are posting fake reviews, let the legal process catch them, the fines are heavy as is.

I don't remember if it was on here, or another place but LOTS of people are boycotting sites like DealerRater. Also the point that dealer rater posts ads of other dealerships on your page is another thing. Anyways, I'm all for dealers being able to post reviews on behalf of customers and being able to respond to negative reviews ( not remove them). But anyone saying it's fraud for a dealer to post a REAL review by a REAL customer on THEIR BEHALF, is full of shit. Stop trying to capitalize on car dealerships and put them in a situation where they have to pay to keep their online PR up. It's unnecessary.
