Mavis Discount Tire Settlement, How to File a Claim Before January 26, 2027
Mavis Discount Tire customers in Pennsylvania who believe they were charged for unnecessary, incomplete or improperly performed vehicle repairs may be eligible for money from a $215,000 settlement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
The deadline is January 26, 2027. To be considered, file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection by then.
Of the $215,000, $190,000 is for consumer restitution and $25,000 covers the Attorney General’s investigation costs. The agreement also includes a $100,000 suspended civil penalty that becomes due only if Mavis violates the settlement terms.
This is not a class action. There is no separate claim form and no private settlement website. The process runs through the Attorney General’s consumer complaint system.

Who May Qualify for Mavis Discount Tire Restitution in Pennsylvania?
The Attorney General says the $190,000 is for consumers harmed by Mavis’s alleged practices who have either already filed a complaint or file a complaint with sufficient support by January 26, 2027. The Assurance also allows the Commonwealth to include others it finds eligible.
The Commonwealth alleges that in some cases Mavis:
- Recommended and charged for vehicle repair or maintenance that was not necessary
- Charged for services it did not actually perform
- Did not perform repairs or maintenance in a skilled and workmanlike manner
- Made misleading statements about whether repairs were necessary or had been done
These are allegations. Mavis denied them and did not admit wrongdoing. The Attorney General says a settlement is not an admission of a violation of the law.
How to File a Mavis Discount Tire Complaint With the Pennsylvania Attorney General
There is no separate Mavis claim form. To be considered for restitution:
- Gather your records. Invoices, repair orders, receipts, estimates, card or bank statements, the Mavis location and date, and any later repair records from another shop.
- Describe what happened. Include the date, location, what Mavis recommended, what you authorized, what you paid, and why you believe the work was unnecessary, not performed or done poorly.
- Submit the complaint to the Bureau of Consumer Protection before January 26, 2027, using one of these:
- Online: the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s consumer complaint form
- Phone: 1-800-441-2555
- Email: [email protected]
- Keep proof. Save a copy of your complaint, your documents, confirmation emails and any reference number.
Only submit accurate information and never alter documents. Don’t pay anyone to file for you. If you don’t have a receipt, you can still contact the Bureau; records help support your complaint but the official announcement doesn’t say an original receipt is required in every case.
What If I Already Filed a Complaint Against Mavis?
The Assurance covers consumers who had already filed complaints with the Commonwealth against Mavis as of the filing date. You generally shouldn’t need to file a duplicate. Keep your records and watch for communications from the Attorney General.
How Much Will Each Mavis Customer Receive, and When?
No individual amount and no payment date has been announced. The Assurance says the amount, timing and manner of distribution are at the Commonwealth’s discretion, so the payout depends on how many eligible consumers there are and how the Commonwealth allocates the $190,000. The Assurance also allows uncashed checks to be voided after a reasonable period of at least 90 calendar days after distribution.
Don’t assume the $215,000 is available to consumers. The consumer restitution pool is $190,000.
What Is the $100,000 Suspended Mavis Penalty?
Mavis doesn’t have to pay it now. It becomes due only if a court finds that Mavis breached the Assurance. It is not part of the consumer fund and shouldn’t be added to it.
What Does the Settlement Require Mavis to Do?
Mavis operates more than 130 locations in Pennsylvania. The agreement requires it to follow Pennsylvania’s Consumer Protection Law and automotive trade-practice regulations, maintain employee training and oversight, and provide customer information to the Commonwealth to help identify affected consumers. According to the Assurance, it must also complete annual compliance assessments for two years beginning October 1, 2026.
Is the Mavis Settlement a Class Action? Can I Opt Out or Object?
No. It is an agreement between the Commonwealth and Mavis, not a court-certified class action. There is no class opt-out or objection process. The Assurance also says it does not waive individuals’ own rights of action except as stated in the agreement, so consumers with separate claims should evaluate them independently.
What If I Miss the January 26, 2027 Deadline?
The Assurance sets the January 26 deadline for additional consumer complaints and doesn’t create a general late-claim process. If you miss it, contact the Bureau of Consumer Protection to ask whether any option remains, rather than assuming a late complaint qualifies.
