A tip was received back in 2015 indicating that Marty Auto Sales, also known as Marty’s Auto Sales, was operating without a vehicle dealer licence and an investigation was launched.

These types of sales are referred to as “curbing” due to vehicles being displayed with “For Sale” signs on the side of the road.
Kyle Martin, of Marty Auto Sales, was ordered in February to cease automotive sales by the FCAA’s consumer protection division.
