I agreed to have a car dealership complete work on my car. They told me it would be up to 8 weeks because of parts. Now

I am sorry that you find yourself in this situation. I will help as much as I can. One moment while I type up my response.

Hello,

If I may ask, in what state are you located in, please?

Hello,

My apologies but you have no right to compensation because the dealership never, in writing, agreed to underwrite your expenses.  For the dealership to be liable for your additional expenses, the agreement in writing had to have a 'time is of the essence' clause with specific language stating that if the dealership is late, they agree to cover certain losses or expenses.  If such language is not in your agreement, then you cannot demand such damages from the dealership.  I am sorry about that.

Sincerely,

Isaaac, Esq.

Hello,

You can request that they begin work faster and if you wish, you can seek to take your vehicle out of the mechanic and give it to a different mechanic to work on.  You would need to cover the costs for any repairs done or any parts ordered on behalf of the vehicle but you would be able to take the parts with you as you purchased them.

Sincerely,

Isaac, Esq.
