COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Three central Ohio used-car dealerships described by the attorney general’s office as “shady” are being sued by the state.

The office of Attorney General Dave Yost announced Monday that six lawsuits have been filed against used-car dealerships in the state, alleging failure to provide vehicle titles to dozens of customers. Payments have been issued to those who bought used cars from these dealerships totaling over $300,000 combined from the Title Defect Recission fund.

The TDR fund is used to pay Ohioans who do not receive a vehicle title within 40 days of purchasing the vehicle. Among the dealerships being sued are one each in Fairfield, Fayette, and Licking counties.

Located in Lancaster, Highway 22 Auto Sales and its owner Debra Jeffers have been sued by the attorney general’s office. 10 title-related complaints are listed which account for over $39,000 from the TDR fund.

Fayette County’s Robinson Auto in Jeffersonville and its owner Shawn Robinson were sued for allegedly not filing 10 vehicle titles, costing more than $62,000 from the TDR fund. The last central Ohio dealer sued is Ohio Luxury Imports in Reynoldsburg. The owner Renato Jovanovski has also been named as a defendant with 15 title-related complaints that resulted in the state paying consumers over $71,000 back.

The other three dealers sued were Sirius Motors in Butler County, Automax of Canton in Stark County, and Prestige Family Cars in Wood County.
