I took my car to a dealership for repairs. They gave me quote, and I got it ok'd by the finance company for repair. After the repairs were done the car wouldn't start, and now they say I need a new starter. Now they are waiting on a part. This is my only means of transportation and I'm missing work. Neither the dealership or finance company is willing to provide me with any alternate means of transportation until the car is repaired. Do I have any options?
