Reynolds and Reynolds this week launched of the Reynolds LAW Ohio F&I Library, a comprehensive catalog of standardized, legally reviewed finance and insurance documents available to dealers in the Buckeye State.

Officials highlighted the Reynolds LAW brand library of forms was developed jointly through a partnership between Reynolds Document Services and the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association (OADA).

"After partnering recently with a number of other state and regional dealer associations in the creation of LAW forms libraries, Reynolds is pleased to partner with the OADA in the same venture," said Jerry Kirwan, senior vice president and general manager of Reynolds Document Services.

“The OADA and our other dealer association partners understand a LAW forms library can support a comprehensive retail management approach for dealers and can help dealers improve the car-buying experience for their customers,” Kirwan continued.

Kirwan insisted changing regulations for automobile dealers have increased the pressure to improve dealers' F&I operations. As a result, he noted dealers are seeking trusted ways to help their business meet current compliancy standards, improve efficiency and lower risk, and stay up-to-date with customer service trends.

The LAW Ohio F&I Library of documents was created and will be maintained by the combined expertise of Reynolds director of compliance Terry O'Loughlin, Reynolds’ AFIP certified compliance legal specialists and the OADA.

"The creation of the Ohio LAW library aligns with our interests of providing our members with credible ways to improve dealership operations, as well as improve the experience for their customers," said Tim Doran, president of the OADA. "We are pleased to partner with Reynolds in this endeavor."

Based in Dublin, Ohio, the OADA is a political, economic and educational association created for Ohio dealers, by Ohio dealers, and managed by Ohio dealers, with the mission to protect the interests and increase the value of automotive dealerships throughout the state.
