Minnesota Used-Car Auto Fraud Resource Hub

Odometer • Salvage/Flood • Missing Title

If you just discovered a problem with your car, start here. We handle litigation for the most serious dealer fraud (odometer, salvage/flood, missing title).

Claims We Pursue in Court

For the most serious types of auto fraud, we don’t just give advice, we take the dealer to court. The litigation cases we accept usually involve fraud that’s clear, serious, and financially significant:

  • Odometer rollbacks: If a dealer altered or misrepresented the mileage on your vehicle, you may be entitled to statutory damages of $10,000 and attorney’s fees. We handle odometer cases in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.

  • Salvage or flood vehicles: If a dealer sold you a car with hidden accident or flood damage, we can pursue claims for a refund, diminished value, or other legal remedies. Our cases often involve structural or other safety issues that put families at risk. We only handle these cases against Minnesota used car dealers.

  • No-title or title-brand problems: If you bought a car and never received a valid title, or later learned the title was defective or encumbered by a lien, Minnesota law gives you strong protections. We sue dealers who fail to deliver clear title. We only handle these cases against Minnesota used car dealers.

These are the cases where litigation makes sense because the law allows recovery of damages and attorney’s fees. If your case fits the bill, we will pursue it aggressively in court.

What To Do Right Now to Help Your Case

  • Save everything: purchase docs, ads/screenshots, texts/voicemails.

  • Pull records: Carfax/AutoCheck; request your vehicle title history from your local Department of Vehicle Services.

  • Get an inspection: written findings + photos + estimate.

  • Write a timeline while it’s fresh.

  • Talk to a lawyer before signing new papers or returning the car.
