Southern Utah tire shop accused of defrauding drivers again told to pay fine

A tire shop has lost another round with the state of Utah and still faces $25,000 in fines for selling motorists tires and parts that regulators say were unneeded or were deceptively expensive.

Freeway Tire, along interstate 15 at the exit to New Harmony, has twice been cited by the Utah Division of Consumer Protection. The first time it was ordered to pay $15,000 in fines.

An order issued Oct. 15 by the executive director of the Utah Department of Commerce, which oversees the consumer protection division, upheld a $10,000 fine in the second case.
