The operator of more than 130 branch locations in Pennsylvania also agrees to maintain oversight and training to ensure compliance moving forward
Harrisburg, Pa.—Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a settlement with Mavis Tire Supply regarding the company’s allegedly deceptive sales practices.
Under the settlement, Mavis will pay $215,000 in monetary relief, with an additional $100,000 to become due and payable if the company violates any of the terms of the settlement agreement.
Mavis, which operates more than 130 branch locations in Pennsylvania, has also agreed to maintain oversight and training necessary to ensure its employees and representatives comply with the law and settlement moving forward.
The settlement, in the form of an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, resolves an investigation which involved allegations that Mavis recommended and charged consumers for vehicle repair and maintenance services that were unnecessary or that Mavis did not actually perform, and that Mavis failed to perform vehicle repairs and maintenance in a skilled or workmanlike manner.
The settlement includes $190,000 as restitution to affected consumers with $25,000 set aside for costs. A settlement agreement is not be considered an admission of a violation of the law.
