Layoff history

February 24, 2026

TrueCar cut 100 employees (30% of staff)

100 laid off 30% of workforce Location Los Angeles

TrueCar laid off fewer than 100 employees on February 24, 2026, about 30% of its roughly 400-person staff, as part of an organizational realignment under returning founder and CEO Scott Painter. The cuts followed a $227 million go-private transaction, led by Painter and investors including AutoNation and PenFed Credit Union, that closed in late January after being announced on January 21. The Los Angeles-based automotive marketplace said the restructuring aimed to restore profitability and recommit to its core mission after an in-depth operational review. As part of the realignment, the company said it would shift focus away from three initiatives: TrueCar+, TrueCar Marketing Solutions, and TrueCar Wholesale Solutions. The reductions reached employees across all of its offices.
