A Bangor auto repair shop has been ordered to stop performing service on vehicles because it has an expired repair facility registration and mechanic certification. The Michigan Department of State has served a cease and desist order on Lenard’s Automotive at 622 West Monroe Street. The shop is owned by Lenard Salinas and a MDOS regulation agent performed an inspection in June and found it performing maintenance, diagnosis, and repair service on a vehicle with those certifications being expired. The mechanic certification expired on January 21, 2009 and the facility registration expired March 17, 2013 and both are still expired. A second MDOS regulation agent visited August 18 and found them still doing work without the state certifications. Anyone who has a complaint against the business is encouraged to call the Office of Investigative Services automotive complaint line at 517-335-1410.
