The OP specifically requested each dealership to make only one credit pull not the gazillion they like to do. In OP's case, anything after the first one would be an unauthorized pull. No?
As for those stating that each additional pull within a certain time frame for auto loans and mortgages shouldn't count in scoring per FICO rules, I discussed this with a mortgage broker several months ago and he said that is absolutely untrue. He said he couldn't count the times that someone had their credit pulled for a loan, from serveral different places, just days before coming to him and their scores had dropped more with each subsequent pull.
