What if this was YOUR car the dealer did this to?

Perhaps they could raise a counter suit regarding privacy, defamation of character and illegal wiretapping. With the right attorney, the gentleman could owe each of these guys a new Camaro.

In the state on South Carolina you can legally record someone as long as one person knows it is recording.........and guess what....the person who set up the recorder knows that it is being recorded.

All this just came to light recently when they tried to sue a school principal for recording conversations in his office. The State Supreme Court threw it out because as long as 1 person knows it is being recorded it is legal. That includes the person doing the recording.....

If the law wasn't like that then Law Enforcement dash and mike recordings would be Illegal.

Just a heads up.

It's similar in Cali, but I don't think that applies in this situation. The conversation was between the two mechanics, not the mechanics and the owner. Realistically this would be thrown out of court rather quickly, BUT thanks to the interwebz this guy stands a pretty good chance of getting his car fixed or replaced without going to court. I'd imagine it's just a waiting game until the dealer can't take the pressure anymore.
