Editor’s note:
To buy something as big as a house or a car, the last thing that one wants is to be taken advantage of. For those newly immigrated to America, this is even so, due to their language barrier.
Which car to buy? You decide. Which dealer to visit? We try to provide some useful information. From now on, the Epoch Times Auto Page will run a series featured articles —the interview of those dealership in Greater New York area, which are with the highest BBB Rating—“A+” and/or BBB Accredited. These can be the reference for those who are buying a car.
BBB (Better Business Bureau), founded in 1912, is not a government agency, but a private business franchise of local BBB organizations based in the United States and Canada, which work together through the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB).
The goal of BBB is to foster a fair and effective marketplace, so that buyers and sellers can trust each other—“Start With Trust”.
