To what extent are car dealerships required to ensure the availability of essential parts for vehicle usage? This issue was clarified in a recent decision by the Quebec Court in September 2024. An automobile owner filed a claim for $14,903.50 against her car dealership, alleging a five-month delay in the delivery of a radiator support, a critical component for the repair and operation of her vehicle. She argued that this delay caused her financial harm, necessitating the rental of another vehicle during the part’s unavailability. She claimed that her damages stemmed from the dealership’s failure to fulfill its obligation to ensure the availability of essential parts for the repair and operation of the vehicles it sells.
