A DMV customer service representative will try to resolve the issue by discussing it with you and the store. Approximately half of the complaints received by the DMV are resolved through mediation. If the repair problem is not resolved, your complaint will often be forwarded to a regional DMV office for investigation.
Did a hearing determine that there were violations?
Yes
DMV will take action against the store. This may include suspending or revoking the store registration and / or imposing fines. If you suffer a financial loss due to a surcharge or unnecessary or poor quality repairs, the administrative law judge presiding over the hearing may offer the store the option to pay restitution. The store may receive a shorter suspension period and / or or a lower fine. DMV cannot compel a store to pay restitution.
