Department of State Revokes Saginaw Vehicle Dealer’s License

The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) has revoked the dealer license of a Saginaw auto dealer for multiple violations of the Michigan Vehicle Code.

Carey Butterfield, owner of Butterfield’s Used Cars and Wholesaling at 4756 Dixie Highway, appeared at an administrative hearing on Oct. 26, to address the violations, which included:

  • fraudulently signing documents
  • exceeding authority as a dealer
  • failing to properly complete applications for title and registrations
  • failing to apply for title and registration within 15 days of vehicle delivery
  • failing to provide notice of an inventory loan for vehicles
  • failing to comply with previous alternative penalty agreements

The business was previously served a summary suspension in March 2019. On December 22, an MDOS administrative law examiner ordered the dealer license to be revoked, effective Feb. 1, 2022.
