What to do if I am selling my car to a dealer that found seriously flawed workmanship done while under warranty by another authorized dealer?
The manufacturer has strict warranty care guidelines. My dealership didn’t follow these but hid this from me until another dealer brought this flawed work to my attention when I wanted to sell them my car. The first dealership knowingly hid this from me? What damages am I allowed?

I suggest that you get an estimate for the costs of the repairs of the concealed items by the first dealership and send it an invoice for the repairs as well as a report from th second dealership on the subject giving a set time period to comply. If the due date comes and goes, your option is to sue in small claims court if the damage amount is in its jurisdiction or consult with an attorney that practices in the area of automotive law to assist you in your matter.
