NJ Car Wash is Banning Toyota Vehicles
NEW JERSEY (OCN) — It was bound to happen but we did not see this one coming.
A New Jersey car wash in Parsippany, NJ has posted a sign on their property saying that for the safety of their workers and customers, they will no longer accept Toyota vehicles on their properties.
For now, it appears that Scion and Lexus vehicles (which are Toyota lines) are safe from the ban but is this act legal?
According to a local attorney, the owners of a car wash (or any other business for that matter) can refuse services to anyone as long as doing so isn’t due to their being a member of a specific group (racial, sexual, etc).
We were concerned that Toyota drivers would be a “group” but was also told the driving a certain type of vehicle is not a protected group, so the business can legally ban owners as they choose.
