Does SB478 apply to car dealerships? That would be a huge boon to consumers on its own.

Car dealerships were exempt from SB 478.

However, California's CARS Act, which took effect July 1, 2025, prohibits misrepresentations about the costs or terms of purchasing, financing, or leasing a vehicle, including the availability of vehicles at an advertised price.

Dealers should be required to list the title/plate fees and their processing fee but stuff like dealer options and markup are required to be on a seperate sticker.

America has such an aversion to including taxes on a listed price so I doubt that will ever be included.
