Again offering a turn key done by two unrelated entities is legal under the letter of the law so Auto Haus selling a turn key with the install done by Olthoff is legal.

Maybe this is just a Superformance problem, if it's a problem at all.
Superformance is a manufacturer. Olthoff was a dealer and did installs too. Now he doesn't. I wish I knew the true reason for this, but I'm likely to never know. There are dealers that do installs under their own dealer's name.
Patrick, I know you can setup a legal trail to make an installer an unrelated entity to a dealer or manufacturer, but I still know of no law that says a dealer, unrelated to a manufacturer, cannot do the installs under the dealer's name.
