Licenses revoked for 46 Arlington-based wholesale dealers

Release date: September 23, 2024

​The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) revoked the wholesale dealer licenses of 46 wholesale dealers based at 101 Skyline Drive #1, Arlington, for violating state law. 

After an investigation, WisDOT’s Dealer and Agent Section found the following 42 dealers failed to maintain a business facility and had their licenses revoked:

The decision to revoke the above licenses was affirmed by a hearing examiner on August 23, 2024. Each dealer had 30 days to appeal the decision. None of the dealers appealed, and these revocations became final on September 22, 2024.  

​Also at that Arlington location, the following four wholesale dealers violated state law when they failed to maintain a dealer bond and had their licenses revoked effective September 21, 2024:

Wisconsin law requires wholesale dealers to carry a security bond to ensure if they commit illegal actions, such as rolling back an odometer or making an illegal sale, a consumer may file a claim against their bond to recoup money lost. Maintaining a bond is a standard business practice and an added security measure that is meant to protect consumers.

Dealers are given 30 days to appeal their license revocation. No appeals were received and the decision is final.

WisDOT’s Dealer and Agent Section licenses, regulates and resolves disputes about dealership sales and warranty repairs. It also investigates complaints about odometer tampering and title fraud involving dealerships and private sellers.
