Complainant: Vehicle Sales Authority of BC

Licensee/Unlicensed person:

Best Import Auto Ltd. (#30670)

Issues:

A hearing was called as the Authority sought an interim order to suspend the dealer registration of Best Import Auto Ltd. (#30670).
It was alleged that Best Import was selling unsafe motor vehicles to consumers and continuing to do so in disregard for conditions placed on its registration.

Outcome:

The Registrar found there was sufficient evidence that Best Import was offering for sale and selling unsafe vehicles to consumers and there is a serious concern for public safety.
The Registrar found there was sufficient evidence to show the conditions placed on Best Import’s registration had not had the desired effect of reducing risk of harm to the public.
The Registrar suspended the motor dealer registration of Best Import Auto Ltd. until further order of the Registrar and after the outcome of the September 21, 2017, hearing is known. The suspension takes effect on September 2, 2017.
