Advantage Auto Sales & Credit Privacy Statement / CDC / ADA

Welcome to Advantage Auto Sales & Credit ("Advantage Auto Sales & Credit," "we," "us," or "our"). Our dealership takes your privacy seriously and is committed to safeguarding your privacy both online and at our dealership. We abide by all CDC standard policies at Advantage Auto Sales & Credit, as well as ADA compliance requirements.

ADA Compliance

We want to ensure that our website and dealership are accessible to all our potential customers. Advantage Auto Sales & Credit continuously makes modifications to increase the accessibility and usability of this website, following guidance from the main international standards organizations for the Internet. Accessibility and usability are not always possible in every area of the website or for visitors using assistive technologies and devices. Please be advised that our efforts are ongoing, and we continue to improve our designs based upon your feedback.

What are Advantage Auto Sales & Credit job applicants' and employees' rights under the ADA?

Advantage Auto Sales & Credit is covered by the ADA and is prohibited from discriminating against employees and job applicants in all employment practices, including job application procedures, hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, training, and conditions of employment.

Which medical conditions are protected under the ADA?

A "serious health condition" is not necessarily an ADA "disability." An ADA "disability" is an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment prior to being hired.

How does Advantage Auto Sales & Credit comply, and how do federal and state laws interact?

Advantage Auto Sales & Credit complies with national legislation and standards: ADA, WCAG 2.1, Section 508, and EN 301549. Advantage Auto Sales & Credit opens the Internet for users with disabilities and will comply with legislation 24/7 when made aware. Advantage Auto Sales & Credit understands "reasonable accommodation" and "major life activities" for its employees. Major life activities include, but are not limited to, caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working.

Why is employer/employee interactive dialogue important?

The interactive process begins when Advantage Auto Sales & Credit receives notice that an employee is affected by a disability covered by the ADA. Although notice typically occurs when the employee provides medical documentation and requests an accommodation, it may also occur through observations of supervisors or managers. The ADA applies if Advantage Auto Sales & Credit regards an employee as disabled.

Examples of reasonable accommodations

Examples may include making existing facilities accessible; job restructuring; part-time or modified work schedules; acquiring or modifying equipment; changing tests, training materials, or policies; providing qualified readers or interpreters; and reassignment to a vacant position.

Limitations on providing reasonable accommodations

The only statutory limitation on providing "reasonable accommodation" is that no such change or modification is required if it would cause "undue hardship" to the employer.

Recordkeeping and posting requirements

The federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires Advantage Auto Sales & Credit to store all information collected because of disability-related inquiries, examinations, and interactive accommodation processes as confidential medical records, regardless of how it was obtained.

CDC Guidelines

At Advantage Auto Sales & Credit, social distancing, wearing masks, and disinfecting all interior vehicle surfaces for customers have become standard practices. We want our customers to feel safe and secure when purchasing their next vehicle from Advantage Auto Sales & Credit.
