What do I do about a lemon I bought from Auto Island 1331 Martin Grove Road?

I bought a car in January 2007.

Mid February, my car died on the highway. (250 km from home)

Cost me $530 to get it back home.

Brought it to a mechanic, only to spend$1700 on a new thermostat, fuel pump, rad fan, spark plugs, breaks (mechanic said they crumbled like a cookie when he took them off), manifold, and a few other things I can't remember.

3 weeks later, as I was switching gears, I heard a loud bang, pulled over, and towed my car back to the mechanic.

Apparently, I had "grenaded a piston", and now have a huge hole in my oil pan, and a smaller hole in my engine.

So my question is, what can I do about these pricks?

I called the Used Car Dealership Association of Ontario, but they're useless. All they do is ask the dealership if they wanna pay and co-operate, and have no say over anything.

DO NOT BUY FROM AUTO ISLAND!

1331 Martin Grove Road

Etobicoke On,

Owner is Nasim Akhtar

Stay away from the crooks.
