Schoharie — Almost exactly a year ago, in October 2018, a stretch limousine in Schoharie crashed, killing 20 people. Court documents alleged that the crash was due to Mavis Discount Tire shop failing to perform critical brake work on the failure.
In the intervening time, CBS6 reported on conflicting information about repairs at Mavis, such as how a manager said that a brake cylinder was returned, while a May 11 invoice said that it had been installed; or how a brake flush was listed, but that the brake had only been bled.
The manager continued by talking about “a billing practice at Mavis in which certain services were substituted on invoices, for the ones actually performed in order for the store to meet sales quotas established by the corporate office.”
A statement released by a Mavis representative earlier this week, on Wednesday, Oct. 10, said “our thoughts and condolences remain with the victims of this tragic accident. Mavis did not cause the accident, however, and bears no legal responsibility for it.”
