Guide to Handling Your Defective Motor Vehicle Case in Small Claims Court: How to Win Your Case in Small Claims Court Against Your Local Car Dealer or Repair Shop

This book describes the Small Claims Court process in Ohio - what it is, how it works, and how to use it. If you may use the Small Claims Court process in another state, then the principles and tips in this book will probably still be very helpful to prepare and win your case but the discussions of law may not be accurate for your state. You should talk to a local Consumer Protection Law attorney for advice about the laws in your state and how to best make use of your state’s Small Claims Court system.

The purpose of this book is to help you plan and win your Small Claims Court case against a motor vehicle dealer or repair shop in your local Small Claims Court — on your own and without a lawyer’s help. In spite of that goal, there may be some questions unique to your situation that may require you to consider consulting a local attorney. Most attorneys understand and agree that consumers can and sometimes should handle small disputes by themselves through Small Claims Court and are willing to help you understand the process. A consultation with an attorney can go a long way to ensuring your success in Court and would be well worth the normally modest cost.

Even if your small claims complaint is not against a car dealer or repair shop, the tips in this book are applicable to most kinds of Small Claims Court cases and can still help you win your case.
