The owner Al Bastanmehr was dishonest. Which is not how many, including myself, feel about him at first. But I have a more detailed description on Google Reviews and was limited by space h More

Business ethics and honesty are my top priorities. Everyone who knows me will attest to that. The first thing I told Peter as soon as I received a call from him with his concern was: “let’s get it inspected and get an estimate and then go from there.” A few months later, with no response from him, I even followed up by text asking whether the inspection had been done. I was again ghosted. Lo and behold, a week later, I got a letter from a lemon law lawyer demanding $308,849.25 (what a joke). A few months of back and forth between lawyers, and probably realizing he has no case, Peter texted me saying he would prefer to keep the car but demanded some repairs be made or he would do exactly this, “make more noise.” My lawyer continued asking for inspection reports that evidenced the damage Peter kept referencing. Finally, in May 2022, Peter’s lawyer provided a report from Tesla (from June 2021) which stated “Customer states something hit him under car.” (hmm…interesting). Now, as a last ditch effort, Peter is leaving a negative review. Regardless of how and when the damage happened, this could have been resolved amicably without getting lawyers involved (btw, mine are way better).

Interesting how the fact that the car was sold with lots of damage that any professional in the business would have seen is never mentioned. The distractions used to keep me away from the front end damage are clear in hindsight. Good for you Al, your lawyer is better. I had no clue where to go or who to speak with to get this resolved and by the way, inspections were sent right away otherwise why were you able to come up with a settlement so quickly? Oh yeah the settlement was stacked in your favor where you could turn around and sucker some other unsuspecting car shopper. Then your slimy lawyer kept asking for more and more and more to delay things. Your car sales slime is showing Al. You are not ethical because I did call you and you basically denied everything. I have all the records and it all points to the same thing. You are a lying cheating xxxxxxx that sold me a damaged vehicle. All the other noise you are making is to distract from what actually happened. Oh and the extended warranty you sell is complete garbage. I hope nobody has to go thru what I went thru ever and that is the point of writing this. There are no ethics in this business, just salespeople looking to take advantage of someone with very little experience dealing with liars and cheaters like you. It’s all about profit, don’t worry that there are families that drive your substandard vehicles. Ha ethics? What a joke, you are a joke. You think people are going to believe you, another shady car sales xxxxxxx? As I said, I have the documents to prove everything and so do you and your lawyer. So I guess I lose because I trusted you, but the universe is going to get you eventually and I hope it really gets you good.

Also remember what this guy says in closing before doing business with him. His lawyers are better. So if you have any issues he will lawyer up and screw you the same way. Can you be sure what you are getting is an honest deal? Is the car damaged underneath where you can’t see? Better catch it quick or prepared to be buried in requests from his better lawyers. The only reason I am writing these comments is to help the next person. I have no skin in the game anymore. All I can do is warn others. I tried to get this resolved by calling and asking direct immediately. Dot get it twisted, Al is the one who didn’t want to be ethical. Shame on you Al. You know what you did, I hope you lose sleep and you burn in xxxx.

Don't trust the pictures the cars look very different in person. The staff was not very knowledgeable about the cars. There was damage to the interior of the vehicle. One of the cars had rust on the engine. More
