1Opinion of the CourtKantrowitz, J.
A default judgment entered against the defendant, Danny M. Evans, stemming from a 1998 automobile accident involving the plaintiff, Joao M. Raposo (Raposo).2 At issue is the propriety of the denial, on waiver grounds, of Evans’s second motion to dismiss for insufficiency of service of process.
Evans argues on appeal that (1) the Superior Court judge *380erred by denying the motion to dismiss because the defense of insufficiency of service of process had not been waived; and (2) service was insufficient under Mass.R.Civ.P. 4, as amended, 402 Mass. 1401 (1988). We affirm.
