The company went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol: TRUE.
As of 2015, TrueCar had more than 10,000 TrueCar Certified Dealers in their network. The company reports that more than 2 million cars have been purchased from their website.
After disappointing first quarter results in 2019, TrueCar announced the immediate resignations of key senior executives, including CEO Chip Perry, CTO/CPO Tommy McClung, CMO Neeraj Gunsager, and EVP Brian Skutta.
In May 2020, TrueCar announced a restructuring of the company, including layoffs of 30% of its workforce, in anticipation for significant revenue loss when its key partnership with USAA ends and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company maintains a corporate office in Santa Monica, California.
