Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has warned consumers to watch out for potential price gouging during the Detroit Auto Show, emphasizing that state law prohibits excessively inflated prices that stray far from standard rates. Attendees are encouraged to compare costs and exercise caution when booking lodging, parking, or other services related to the event, according to the Department of Attorney General.
"While some higher prices during the Detroit Auto Show are to be expected, the event should not come with unfair costs to consumers," Nessel stated, urging a proactive approach to securing fair deals. She reminded the public that careful shopping and due diligence are key to avoiding unfair charges amid the high-profile crowds and demand, as reported by the Department of Attorney General.
The Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place runs until January 25. Michigan’s Consumer Protection Team is accepting reports of potential price gouging. Complaints can be submitted online, mailed to P.O. Box 30213, Lansing, MI 48909, faxed to 517-335-7599, or called in at 877-765-8388. The team reviews claims related to pricing during the event, as stated by the Department of Attorney General.
