Purpose of AmericanAutoNews.com
The purpose of AmericanAutoNews.com is to provide users with general information, updates, and consumer insights related to the automotive industry. This includes coverage of auto news, market trends, vehicle technology, financing, insurance, and other auto-related products and services. The site may also serve as a vehicle for connecting users with third-party partners who offer products or services that may be of interest, including but not limited to vehicle financing, extended warranties, auto insurance, or credit solutions.
However, no content presented on AmericanAutoNews.com should be construed or interpreted as legal, financial, or professional advice. General statements, product details, or service descriptions found on this website may not reflect the most current offerings, regulations, or conditions in your local jurisdiction. Automotive laws, financial policies, and product terms can differ by region and may change frequently.
Due to the varying interpretations and updates in local, state, and federal laws and business practices, users should consult with licensed professionals or service providers directly before making decisions based on information obtained from this site.

Attorney Listings
Any information about our attorney and advocate sponsors was provided by the sponsors and has not been verified by AmericanAutoNews.com. AmericanAutoNews.com does not warrant the validity of the information, nor does it guarantee the quality of the work product. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed proficiency.
A description or indication of limitation of practice by an attorney does not mean that any agency or board certified such lawyer as experienced in any indicated field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more proficient or competent than any other attorney. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.
We Do Not Provide Legal Advice or Referrals
We do not offer legal advice, attorney referrals or legal recommendations, mediation or counseling. If you do decide to use our website to obtain help with an auto-related issue and give your information to us, some vendors, affiliates and partners of AmericanAutoNews.com could pass your information to an accredited, qualified service provider to contact you about your request. Users of AmericanAutoNews.com assume all responsibility for their actions, selection of legal counsel or service providers, and use of information obtained on AmericanAutoNews.com.
