The 60s produced hundreds of cars, and some of them have been forgotten so completely that spotting one today feels like finding a dinosaur wandering through a Walmart parking lot wearing a top hat and playing the banjo.

You were in a small accident, but the visible damage doesn’t look too bad. Then the body shop calls and says something that makes your stomach drop: your EV battery may have hidden damage, and replacement could cost thousands of dollars. Now you’re stuck wondering if this is a legitimate safety concern, or are you being steered toward an unnecessary (and wildly expensive) repair?

You finally picked up your car after an accident repair. You expected to feel relieved but instead, you notice the paint doesn’t quite match in certain light, and one of the body panels doesn’t sit flush like it used to. So, what are your rights here? Can you actually demand that the body shop redo the work, or are you stuck with a repair that looks almost right but not quite?

Your new car’s emergency spare tire is flat too? Learn what to do safely, when to call roadside assistance, how to deal with the dealer, and how to prevent this frustrating problem from happening again.
