Overview: In a move, the Lunenburg Select Board voted to revoke the Class 2 Auto Dealer license for Lunenburg Auto Center, also known as Maxi Auto Inc, following a detailed investigation into numerous violations. The board’s action came after the Chief of Police recommended an immediate cease and desist order, citing continued operation despite an inactive license. The violations included selling vehicles without titles, fraudulent documentation, misuse of dealer plates, and non-compliance with Massachusetts Lemon Law. The board also heard reports of predatory practices targeting individuals with limited English proficiency, and the dealership was characterized by one board member as a “criminal enterprise.” The motion passed to revoke the licenses and mandated the removal of all vehicles from the property within seven days.
