Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety (CARS) is leading the fight to clean up phony auto financing. Recently, California Governor Davis signed a new, first-in-the-nation law, pushed through the legislature by CARS, to crack down on the hidden charges. Senator Martha Escutia authored the bill. Auto dealers tried to kill it. Republicans sided with the auto dealers and voted against consumers. But thanks to support from consumer, labor, environmental, seniors, and civil rights organizations,
the law squeaked through with votes from Democrats in Sacramento.

If you believe you were overcharged for your financing, CARS wants to hear from you. Call CARS toll-free at 800-491-9835. Be prepared to leave your contact information, including your daytime and evening phone numbers.
