Unlicensed vehicle dealer issued order to stop sales in Saskatoon

UPDATE: Barlow Motors Saskatoon customers may be eligible for compensation

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) has directed an unlicensed vehicle dealer to stop any sales in Saskatoon.

Information was received by Saskatchewan’s financial and consumer marketplace regulator that Barlow Motors was operating as a dealership.

The FCAA said Friday it’s issued a cease and desist order and the unlicensed business is no longer authorized to sell vehicles to the public.

Consumers are reminded there are specific warranties and legislative protections offered under The Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act that do not apply to private vehicle sales.
