Eight vehicles were seized from an unlicensed dealership operating in east Bexar County after investigators discovered irregularities tied to vehicle sales, authorities said.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reported that investigators conducting online research identified a pattern of vehicle listings connected to a dealership operating in the 1500 block of Nolan Street. The listings included several vehicles, among them a high-performance sports car, advertised at unusually low prices. Authorities said the pricing raised concerns and prompted further investigation.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles joined the sheriff’s office in inspecting the business, identified as Legit Auto Group. Sheriff Javier Salazar said investigators determined the dealership was not properly licensed to operate. During the inspection, authorities reported finding documents that appeared to be altered or fictitious. Investigators believe multiple vehicles may have been transferred improperly, creating potential title and registration issues for buyers.

Officials stated the vehicles involved were not reported stolen. However, authorities said the improper transfers could leave buyers unable to legally title the vehicles they purchased. While investigators were on site, a man approached and reported that he had purchased a vehicle from the dealership but was unable to obtain a valid title, leaving him without legal ownership documentation.

Salazar said investigators are still working to determine where the vehicles originated. Authorities believe the inventory may have come from various sources, including salvage channels or auctions, though the exact origins remain under review.

No arrests have been made at this time. The sheriff’s office said it is in the process of obtaining additional warrants as the investigation continues. Authorities indicated that criminal charges are likely in the coming days as they gather further evidence.The case remains active as investigators continue reviewing sales records and vehicle documentation.
