Mr. Abrar and his team were more than helpful, vital and supportive of not only my case but my future as well. He was responsive, knowledgeable and quick to act/deliver. 5 stars to him and his team! Even though they will NEVER represent me again, since I NEVER plan to be in criminal court again. I do wish to positively impact lives especially aspiring ones- like Mr. Abrar and his team! Thank you again.

Understanding Deceptive Trade Practices in the Auto Industry

Deceptive trade practices can take many forms, but they all share a common thread: they involve misleading, fraudulent, or unethical actions designed to take advantage of consumers. In the auto industry, these practices might include:

  • False Advertising: Promoting vehicles with features or conditions that don’t exist or advertising prices that aren’t honored once you’re in the dealership.

  • Odometer Fraud: Rolling back or tampering with a vehicle’s odometer to make it appear as though it has fewer miles than it actually does.

  • Undisclosed Damage or Repairs: Selling a vehicle without disclosing known damage, previous accidents, or repairs that impact the car’s safety or value.

  • Hidden Fees and Charges: Adding unexpected fees or costs at the last minute after you’ve agreed to a purchase or financing terms.

  • Bait and Switch Tactics: Advertising one vehicle or price to lure you in, only to pressure you into buying a different, often more expensive, vehicle.

  • Loan and Financing Scams: Misrepresenting financing terms, interest rates, or the total cost of a loan, leading to higher payments or costs than initially disclosed.

Know Your Rights: Protect Yourself from Deceptive Practices

Understanding your rights as a consumer is the first step in protecting yourself from deceptive trade practices. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Do Your Research: Always research the dealership, vehicle, and any financing options before making a purchase. Look for reviews, ratings, and any history of complaints.

2. Read the Fine Print: Carefully review all contracts, agreements, and financing documents before signing anything. If something seems unclear, ask questions, and don’t be pressured into signing.

3. Get Everything in Writing: Ensure that any promises, deals, or conditions offered by the seller are documented in writing.

4. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, take a step back. Don’t hesitate to walk away if you feel pressured or unsure.
