Lawsuit filed against Sunnyvale auto repair shop
The Santa Clara County District Attorney has charged Joseph Galas and Galas Management Inc., the owners of Cartex One Stop Auto on Mathilda Avenue, with lying to customers about the condition of their cars to get them to agree to work and about what work had been done. The suit also alleges the defendants charged for work that had not been performed, performed sub-par work, performed repairs without proper authorization, and created and maintained misleading records.
The lawsuit is the result of an investigation by the state Bureau of Automotive Repair. It seeks an injunction to prevent future violations, levies civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation for past violations, as well as restitution and costs. A trial date has not be set.
