The landscape of immigration law in the United States is shifting, creating significant challenges for dealerships and independent operations across the automotive industry. Many car detailing and make-ready dealership operations are struggling with compliance, often finding themselves understaffed or relying on unstable, non-compliant hiring practices.
At OnSite Dealer Solutions (ODS), we have maintained strict adherence to immigration regulations since our inception in 2011, ensuring that our dealership partners never have to worry about legal risks associated with unauthorized employment.
A Commitment to Compliance Since 2011
From the beginning, ODS has prioritized integrity and legal compliance in our hiring practices. As a preferred vendor for automotive dealerships, ODS has consistently followed rigorous standards to ensure all our employees meet federal and state employment eligibility requirements.
These policies aren’t just a response to recent changes—they have been at the core of our operations for over a decade, put in place to protect our own business and that of our clients’ operations.
ODS Hiring Standards:
✅ I-9 Verification – Every employee must complete the federally mandated I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form at ODS.
✅ Social Security Number & Valid Driver’s License Requirement – We verify Social Security numbers and ensure all employees possess a valid driver’s license before onboarding.
✅ Comprehensive Background Checks – Every new hire undergoes a thorough background check to ensure legal work status to protect our dealership partners.
✅ W-2 Employee Status – ODS exclusively hires W-2 employees; we do not utilize 1099 independent contractors, eliminating potential tax and compliance issues.
Protecting Dealerships from Compliance Risks
The detailing and make-ready industry has seen an influx of companies cutting corners, hiring undocumented workers, and exposing dealerships to legal liabilities. This approach has resulted in workforce instability and, in some cases, significant legal repercussions.
ODS provides a stable, legally compliant workforce, allowing our dealership partners to focus on customer satisfaction without worrying about regulatory infractions. By maintaining a fully vetted and documented workforce, we protect dealerships from fines, audits, speed to market issues and potential shutdowns associated with non-compliant hiring. Stringent hiring protocols ensure that we remain ahead of regulatory changes, providing security and peace of mind to our partners year in and out.
The ODS Advantage: Compliance, Stability, and Integrity
Our long-standing commitment to legal hiring practices ensures that ODS remains a trusted name in the automotive industry, offering fully compliant, professional, and reliable detailing, make-ready, photography, porter, and tinting services to dealerships across the country.
