Got it, Stephanie. How can I help you with your legal issue today?
I purchased a truck from a used car dealership and they charged me for things that were not done. Like a vehicle inspection. We were told the 4wd worked and it didn't even have a drive shaft for.it
You may have a case for misrepresentation or breach of contract, depending on the situation. Here are steps you can take:
- Review your contract: Check the paperwork for details on inspections, warranties, or guarantees.
- Document the issues: Gather evidence, like receipts, photos, or repair estimates.
- Contact the dealership: Request a resolution in writing, like a refund or repair.
If they refuse, you can:
- File a complaint with Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) or the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
- Consult an attorney about suing for damages.
