Re: buying a car
Unless the dealership agreed to provide you with alternative transportation at the outset, the answer is "no."
At the end of the repair, if you can prove they kept the car for an unreasonable time without working dilligently to complete the repairs, you may be able to recover your expenses for their unreasonable delay through small claims court, and that could include a portion of your rental car bill.
