It is our expectation that Washington residents can rely on receiving honest and timely disclosure of necessary information to assist with their purchase decisions. The Attorney General’s Office works toward this objective through education, litigation and legislation.
Although auto sales complaints have declined, the industry has landed in the top five complaint categories in the last 10 years.
