Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Does the state of California take this type of fraud seriously and how soon could I talk to someone?

What steps do I need to take to report auto repair fraud? I do not want to go back to the repair shop and have already paid for the repairs. I want to have the car inspected and press charges. I have written and verbal evidence that the repairs were not done as agreed and the car is still defective. I have also been told that other parties have had the same experience with the repair shop.

The Bureau of Automotive Repair is a good place to start. They are the state agency that oversees repair shops and technicians. Here is a link:

If that doesn't solve your problem, you can file an action in small claims court or superior court depending on the size of your claim.
