Can I go back to dealership if they fixed my car incorrectly when I first purchasedabout 8months ago?
I bought a van late last year. The car was advertised as having “Ice Cold Air”. The A/C did work but the heat did not. The dealer fixed the heat before I signed the paperwork. Now it is hot out and I find that the A/C does not work, not even the vent for outside air. Can I ask them to fix since they made the repairs before I purchased my van? I had someone look at it and they said that it looks like they jerry-rigged the heat to make it work and without a lot of work and expense my A/C will not work.

This is a tough question to give guidance on, in that the it is easy to tell you what the used car law is in Wisconsin (I am assuming that this is a used car, correct?), but there needs to be a little more investigation as to what happened when they jerry rigged the heat. Is it possible that they messed with the AC? Can your mechanic show a link between the two? You need also to see if the van still had any manufacturer's warranty available with it. That could be a big help for you. I would consult with an attorney in your area on the matter. Good luck to you.
