Calgary consumers are still more likely than not to be exposed to questionable sales tactics and advertising practices when they’re trying to buy a new car – even after a government push to clean up the industry.
Those are the results of an undercover operation by the Automobile Protection Association, an industry watchdog group whose secret shoppers watched salespeople try to wring out thousands of dollars from people they thought were unsuspecting consumers.
In all, 17 out of 20 dealerships failed the APA’s tests. And on each failure, W5’s hidden cameras were rolling. The footage became the basis for a documentary that questions why it seems like most dealers in the province don’t respect the rules.
Alberta's minister who oversees AMVIC called the situation a "gong show" and vowed that it would get better.
