How to Resolve a Complaint With an Auto Repair Shop

Most of us have vehicles--and sooner or later we're going to have to buy a new (or used) car, fix a vehicle that's broken down, or do a little automobile maintenance.

The upshot for many of us: complaints. Complaints about deceptive car dealership ads, auto warranties that weren't honored, "lemons," crooked/incompetent mechanics. Maybe that buy-here, pay-here dealership repossessed your almost-paid-off car after a payment was just 3 days late, or perhaps your new car dealer said your automobile needed a repair that was in fact totally unnecessary. No wonder the FTC alone received 77,435 auto-related complaints in 2011. ...more

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if PeopleClaim is right for me?
PeopleClaim is right for you if you'd like to resolve your complaint directly with the other party with little or no expense. Except for serious criminal offenses there are few complaints that cannot be handled easily and effectively online through the PeopleClaim system. So: any complaint, against anyone, anywhere--all online. You decide. There's really nothing to lose.
Free claim filing or paid services-which is best?
Free filing gives you full use of the PeopleClaim system so you can turn your complaint into a well organized and professionally presented claim, delivered instantly to the other party by email. That may be all you need. But many users opt for the paid public posting option ($7.95). This lets them set a deadline for resolution, and gives the other party extra incentive to fix the problem and keep the complaint off the Internet. Other paid options add strength. You can copy your claim to regulators and media, or choose premium delivery options so your claim will also be received in hardcopy.
How does PeopleClaim's consumer alert system work?
It's easy. And free. If you'd like to get an email message when claims post for certain companies or locations, just use the handy signup form on the PeopleClaim site. Tell us which ZIP Codes or names you want alerts for, give us your email address, and you're done. You can change alert criteria, add an alert request, or opt out at any time.
How is PeopleClaim different from the BBB?
One of the big contrasts between the Better Business Bureau and PeopleClaim is that the BBB earns its money from membership fees paid by the companies you may be complaining about. PeopleClaim has no such conflict of interest. We charge reasonable fees for certain claim-filing services, and receive nothing from anyone you will file a claim against. Another important difference is that with PeopleClaim you decide if and when a claim is resolved; the BBB will close claims after a certain period of time regardless of outcome. There are also differences in what kinds of complaints are handled, with the BBB more limited in scope. For specific differences, see the comparison chart.
Do I need a lawyer to file a PeopleClaim?
No. One of the great things about PeopleClaim is that you can do everything yourself and resolve your problem-without lawyer fees, court appearances, and a lengthy process. Another great thing about PeopleClaim is that you also have the option to request contact from lawyers through the system in case your problem is unusually difficult-or even if you just want the other party to know you might be thinking of a lawsuit.
Is PeopleClaim a lawyer referral site?
No, PeopleClaim is not a lawyer referral site. We do allow claimants to request through PeopleClaim a free initial consultation from interested legal professionals-but lawyers respond voluntarily and PeopleClaim doesn't participate in any fee arrangements you make with a lawyer for professional services.
