State suspends car dealership licenses in Mason and Jackson
MASON - The Michigan Secretary of State has suspended the business license of Great Lakes Auto Inc. after the state found numerous violations during an inspection prompted by consumer complaints.
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said in a news release that inspectors went to the dealership at 1251 N. Cedar St. in Mason after customers complained they had not received titles in a timely manner. During an inspection, however, officials also found the dealership had failed to apply for titles and registration in buyers' names, failed to maintain the necessary surety bonds, sold vehicles without proper titles, included false information on title applications and at least nine checks to the state bounced.
Some of those failures could make it difficult for buyers to legally prove they own their cars, Johnson said in the release.
Dealers can appeal their license suspension and may regain their license if they prove they are following state law.
