Default Advice on Dodgy Car Dealer

Re; naming and shaming.

Do it.

As long as you can reasonably demonstrate that what you say has happened, has happened, then there's no reason why you should not tell anyone you damn well like, by any means you see fit.

So as long as you have reasonable evidence: Do it.

So long as you have reasonable grounds that you're not actually blaming a completely different entity.

Just a cautionary tale that a mate of mine, a mechanic, had some bell-end chasing him for costs incurred by the previous occupier of his unit.

I would suggest a hands on approach of hanging about and having a good look to check the same bloke who sold you the car is still about.

Good advice.
confirm the same team is working there. If they are, feel free to name and shame.
