Check out that company!
It's good practice to check out companies you are unfamiliar with or unsure of, especially car dealers; real estate,
mortgage, and insurance brokers, and new companies. The Better Business Bureau can generate online reports about any
company or organization they have information on. You can also file complaints about a company as well. Just visit
