Which state law prohibits pressuring a customer to choose a shop?

• A. Arizona
• B. California
• C. Florida
• D. Minnesota

Answer: (D)

Protecting customers from being pressured to choose a specific shop is addressed by state consumer protection laws that ban unfair or deceptive practices. In Minnesota, the consumer protection statute makes it illegal for a business to engage in unfair or deceptive acts or practices, which includes using coercive or misleading tactics to steer a customer toward a particular repair shop. This protects a customer's right to make an independent, informed choice without pressure or manipulation. For example, statements that imply a customer must use this shop to get service, or that other options are unavailable or inferior, would fall afoul of Minnesota’s protections. That’s why Minnesota is the correct reference here.
