How can you report a dealer who has done unsavory practice to make others aware before purchasing from that dealer?

The best bet is to find them on Google, Yahoo, or your search engine of choice and leave a bad review there. This website is only for advertising purposes and doesn't really serve that purpose well.

Leave a review on Google is the best recourse. See an attorney if they have gotten too far out of line.

Dealers need a place to report unsavory customers also.....

Econo Automotive Center Inc. should not be aloud to show pictures of cars from new cars when the cars in their lot are in very bad conditions.

If your talking about a dealership selling a car in bad shape you can report it to the federal trade commission . It's a government agency that enforce laws for deceptive business . I just recently found out about this from the state attorney general's office when I was being scammed by a auto finance for $1300 on a loan aggreement . Luckily I got my deposit back and return the car.

Gardiner Motors(posted on a sign in their office as best dealer by Car Gurus)is the dealership in Canada I want to report for fraud and breach of contract. .I wanted to talk to Car Gurus about removing them from their recommended list,but there doesn't appear to be a particular contact for this purpose,so I have to reveal case here. I was sold a used Mazda Tribute declared CERTIFIED by Gardiner Motors. By accident,later that year my mechanic found holes in the subframe. I'm in the process of litigation with Gardiner Motors in Mississauga for fraud(deliberately misleading a customer,breach of contract,misrepresenting a vehicle). When I first bought the car,I asked about the rust on the doors,I was told they'd take care of that.When I picked the car up,it appeared as if they had rustproofed the doors so the rust was no longer visible.The rust is visible now Jan 2020. The holes in the subframe were covered by a thick tar undercoat which I had specifically asked them NOT TO DO,so that my mechanic could inspect the car during the certification period.The fraud occurred on 2 occasions....first when the "certification" was performed and second when the undercoat covered up the holes. I have reported this dealership to a website dedicated to helping people avoid disreputable dealerships.They had never heard of the scam of undercoating with a thick tar to cover holes and frame condition so that car is passed off as certified(safe to drive) when it is not.In Canada,A car is not allowed to be driven on public roads unless it is certified.

The canadian government websites have a list of car dealers that you should avoid,ones that have had convictions against them(Omvic),complaints,court cases. Dept of Consumer Affairs is another option.Community newspapers,local tv stations that have consumer shows.,etc.,etc. The more that dealerships are held accountable,the more honest they'll have to become....ask Google and do some research.
