confused and frustrated man in dealership

The dealer added $5,000 in fees after we agreed on the price. When I pushed back, he just said "Everyone pays this." Do they really?

You agree on a number, shake hands, and think the hard part is over. Then the finance office slides over a contract stuffed with thousands in extra charges and says, “everyone pays this.” That moment is common enough that federal regulators, state attorneys general, and consumer advocates have all warned shoppers about it.

My friend insists EV owners are getting ripped off on resale. I was thinking of getting one, but now I'm not sure. Is that really happening?

After a small accident, the shop says my EV battery may have hidden damage and needs an expensive replacement. Is that really necessary?

You were in a small accident, but the visible damage doesn’t look too bad. Then the body shop calls and says something that makes your stomach drop: your EV battery may have hidden damage, and replacement could cost thousands of dollars. Now you’re stuck wondering if this is a legitimate safety concern, or are you being steered toward an unnecessary (and wildly expensive) repair?

Woman displeased with body shop repairs.

The body shop repaired my car’s damage, but the paint doesn’t match and there’s a noticeable gap between panels. Can I demand a redo?

You expected to feel relieved but instead, you notice the paint doesn’t quite match in certain light, and one of the body panels doesn’t sit flush like it used to. So, what are your rights here? Can you actually demand that the body shop redo the work, or are you stuck with a repair that looks almost right but not quite?
