Not surprisingly, 25% of the cases I had to do related to car sales. Things like buying cars "as is" are not a legal argument that holds up in court.

And you speaking of Canadian law or USA (where the OP is from)
The only claim the buyer MIGHT have is diminished value. Nobody was hurt and the car isn't broken due to improper repairs. Explain how this would work even if the car wasn't sold as-is. Just curious.
If it was purchased from a GM dealer as Cerrtified pre-owned, here's the poop on that. Apparently a CarFux report is included.
