Andrews Cycles and AG reach terms

SALEM — Customers of Andrews Cycles have less than 30 days to seek refunds for extra costs charged on motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles.

The agreement was reached between Marc Dann, Ohio’s Attorney General, and W.W. Cycles Inc., the parent company of the dealership 13134 state Route 62.

Judge C. Ashley Pike of Columbiana County Common Pleas Court approved the agreement on Wednesday.

The dealership said in court documents it “expressly denies any violation of federal, state or local law.”

But Dann’s lawsuit charged that the dealership added freight, assembly and dealer charges to sales that were not properly advertised.

The lawsuit also charged that the dealership failed to state in contracts whether the mileage on the vehicles it sold was accurate. The dealership also failed to disclose in contracts whether vehicles were new or used.

Dann charged that not disclosing the full costs was an unfair and deceptive act in violation of the state administrative rules and the state’s Consumer Sales Practices Act. Judge Pike permanently barred the dealership’s workers from violating that act.
