What is Covered?

If given reasonable time, the maker of the car doesn’t fix it to specifications, then you are entitled to force the issue and file for relief. Your best course of action, in this case, is to contact the attorneys at the Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center® for help filing and to get the relief you deserve.
