what should you do? choose four correct answers.
flag the dealers account.
ask the mechanic to document their findings.
get a vehicle - history report online to look for evidence of odometer tampering.
write a letter or email to the dealer, with copies of relevant documents.
stand outside the dealership with a poster that says, \this dealer is a liar!\
report the incident to the better business bureau and your state attorney general.

Explanation:

To address suspected odometer tampering and dealer fraud, actions should focus on gathering evidence, documenting issues, verifying history, and reporting appropriately. Flagging the dealer’s account is not a standard consumer action; standing outside with a poster is unprofessional and not constructive. The correct steps involve documenting mechanical findings, obtaining a vehicle history report, communicating formally with the dealer, and reporting to relevant authorities.

Answer:

B. Ask the mechanic to document their findings.
C. Get a vehicle-history report online to look for evidence of odometer tampering.
D. Write a letter or email to the dealer, with copies of relevant documents.
F. Report the incident to the Better Business Bureau and your state attorney general.
