Car Dealership Fraud Attorney
You went in to look. Just to browse. You saw a car that caught your eye, and the salesperson was all smiles. They told you it was a great deal. That your credit looked good. That the financing was locked in. That the price on the sticker — or the website — was the real price. Then things changed.
Maybe you were rushed through the paperwork. Maybe they handed you a new contract with different numbers “just for financing.” Maybe you didn’t get a copy of anything at all. Or maybe they promised to fix a problem with the car — but never followed through.
Next thing you know, you're stuck with a vehicle that costs more than you expected, terms you never agreed to, or a car that isn’t safe to drive.
It happens more than you think. And yes — it’s often illegal.
Common Signs of Dealership Fraud
We handle cases involving all types of shady dealership practices, including:
Bait-and-switch pricing:
The car advertised online or on the lot suddenly isn’t available — and the “replacement” comes at a much higher cost.
Packing the contract:
Extra products like extended warranties or service contracts were added without your consent — or you were told they were “free.”
Yo-yo financing:
You sign the deal and take the car home, only to get a call days later saying the financing "fell through" and you need to come back and sign a worse deal.
Odometer or accident misrepresentation:
You were told the vehicle was in great shape, only to later discover frame damage, a branded title, or tampered mileage.
Fake fees and markups:
Documentation fees, prep charges, and “dealer-installed” options you didn’t ask for show up on your final invoice.
False promises in writing or speech:
The salesperson says one thing, but the paperwork tells a different story — or they rush you through signing before you can check.
What You Can Do — And How We Help
When you buy a car, you’re entering a legal agreement. If the dealership used fraud or deception to get you to sign, you may have a valid legal claim.
At Connor Law, we dig into the contract, the paperwork, and the timeline. We listen to what you were told — and compare it to what was actually done. If the dealership broke the rules, we hold them accountable.
We don’t send letters and hope they play nice. We prepare every case like it’s going to court — and dealerships know that. Most of the time, once we get involved, they’re willing to settle to avoid a fight they know they’ll lose.
No Upfront Costs. Just Results.
Unlike our other practice areas, most auto dealer fraud cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — which means you don’t pay us unless we recover money for you.
That makes it easier to take action — even if you’re still stuck with a high car payment or dealing with repairs you can’t afford. We take the financial risk off your plate and put the pressure where it belongs: on the dealership.
When to Call a Dealership Fraud Lawyer:
If you're dealing with any of the following, it’s worth having us take a look:
- A price or interest rate that changed at the last minute
- A contract you weren’t allowed to fully review
- A car that turned out to be in worse condition than you were told
- Add-ons you didn’t agree to or even know about
- Financing issues after you drove off the lot
Even if you’re not sure the dealership technically broke the law, we can walk you through what to look for — and give you an honest answer on whether you have a case.
