Cars are expensive. A consumer experiences a sour taste in their mouth after discovering that the car they just purchased now has lots of problems, or cannot be fixed quickly or inexpensively. What alternatives do they have: it’s now their car, and it has to be fixed, doesn’t it? Repairs are a normal part of car ownership. Some cars, though, are abnormal in this respect, defying all efforts to be repaired at a reasonable cost. Some are sold with that knowledge.
Laws are in place to protect consumers, but utilizing them successfully in the effort to assist your client can prove difficult. This seminar can help.
