Complaints

Most vehicle sales go well; however, when they don’t, we’re here to help. We offer car buyers a free complaint handling process where the need arises. Car buyers are urged to first try to resolve the issue directly with the dealer or salesperson before filing a complaint with us. If you still have concerns, we will try to facilitate a resolution whenever possible and appropriate.

It’s important to remind you that OMVIC has no authority over private sales, vehicle manufacturers, repair facilities.
