Openlane is the worst in the industry

AI Summary

I have made a YouTube channel documenting times where auction arbitration got it wrong. I'm in Ontario Canada, so we do have different rules and LAWS then most. I am 100% correct as a buyer but the sellers and auctions break the laws all the time with no recourse from OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) a government organization as useless as tits on a bull and full of overpaid useless employees who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground! Yes my videos are crap, but they get the point across...lol. Please like and share with your dealer friends.
