OVER THE PHONE 09 FEB 2010
THEY HAVE NUMEROUS NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND THEY FOR THE MOST PART SPEAK TO THE VERY CALIBER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT. HORIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE APPROACH, AND THEY LIED TO MY FACE REGARDING A VEHICLE. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY
AFTER THE PHONE CALL. FACE TO FACE 12 FEB 2010
I AM LOOKING FOR AN ACURA NSX. R MOTORSPORTS WAS ADVERTIZING THE INTERNET AND ON CRAIGSLIST.COM, I CALLED AND I WAS TREATED LIKE *****. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT OR LOOKING FOR. ALSO THEY LIED TO ME REGARDING THE INFORMATION ON THE CAR. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS AS A WARNING BUT HEY, I WAS INTERESTED IN THE CAR NOT THEY'RE SERVICE. 12FEB2010 AT 945AM. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD BE WAITING; I HAD TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BY A NSX MECHANIC. I GOT THERE, AFTER AN HOUR IT CAME FROM THERE “OTHER” LOT, OUT OF GAS. (I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 5 MINUTES, THEN THEY SAID THEY HAD TO PUT GAS IN IT) AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE WITH A WOMAN NAMED Z BLACK, CO-OWNER/(SHOTTY)- FARMERS INSURANCE AGENT SHE ASKED ME TO SIGN A CONTRACT STATING THAT MY (PRIVATE) INSURANCE WOULD BE HELD AS PRIMARY ON THIS VEHICLE. IN SPEAKING WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WITH Z, IT CAME OUT THAT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY OWNED BY A PRIVATE PARTY (EMPLOYEE OF THE DEALERSHIP) AFTER A WHILE OF I JUST TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE AS "Z" ASSUMED THAT I SIGNED THE CONTRACT. (SHE WAS WITH ME, NO CONTRACT SIGNED. LOL) 1145 AM; AFTER THE TEST DRIVE I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FURTHER INSPECTED. R-MOTORSPORTS TOLD ME I HAD TO USE A LICENSED AND INSURED AUTO TRANSPORT COMPANY. WHEN I FINALLY AGREED, I PAYED $150 UPFRONT FOR SHIPPING AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE PICKED UP AT 1215PM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BE AT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP AROUND 130PM. I NEVER RECIEVING AGREED A CALL REGARDING THE CAR BEING IN ROUTE, I CALLED AT 1PM, THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN PICKED UP. (HERE IS WHERE THE MAJOR SCAMMING PLAYS IN) I TRIED TO CALL Z BLACK ON HER CELL/OFFICE, EXCUSES EXCUSES; SHE IS OUT TO LUNCH, ON A CALL, WITH A CLIENT, ON THE LOT, LEFT-NO REASON, HOLY CRAP. THEY WERE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. 3PM I FINALLY GOT AHOLD OF THE (SHADY) Z BLACK, (VIA TEXT) ”THE CAR IS ON ITS WAY IT SOULD BE THERE IN 45 MINUTES”, 4PM NO CALL I GOT A NOTICE VIA TEXT MESSAGE FROM Z BLACK "I SENT THE CAR TO A DEALER THAT WAS CLOSER, AS SHE STATES SHE CONTACTED "ACURA” REGARDING THE STATUS OF ACURA OF SANTA MONICA’s NSX CERTIFIED MECHANIC. WHAT THE HECK, (THIS IS MY MECHANIC NOT AN AGREED UPON DECISION) I TOLD HER (Z BLACK, THROUGH TEXT AS SHE WOULDN'T ANSWER HER PHONE) “I PAYED FOR THE CAR TO BE TRANSPORTED TO SANTA MONICA NOT SOME SHADY MECHANIC OF THE DEALERS CHOICE”. AT ABOUT 530 THE VEHICLE ARRIVES TO THE RIGHT DEALER, NOW IT IS WAY TOO LATE TO COMPLETE THE 3 HOUR TESTING AND INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE DELIVERY MAN ABOUT HOW HE HAD GOTTEN THE CAR ON/OFF THE TRANSPORT TRUCK. HE SAID INITIALLY HE STATED HE DROVE IT FROM R-MOTORSPORTS IN BALDWIN PARK. LATER HE CHANGED THIS STORY MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THE TRANSPORT AND I ASKED HIM FOR ANY SHIPPING PAPERWORK FOR THE MOVE, HE HAD NONE. AS IT TURNS OUT Z BLACK THREW THIS GUY TIM UNDER THE BUS, AT THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER IN THE DAY SAIDING TIM (TRANSPORT MAN) WAS THE OWNER OF THE CAR AS SHE HAD NO CLEAR ANSWERS REGARDING THE VEHICLE,. LATER, I CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE CAR AND WHAT Z SAID HE SHOULD KNOW, HE WAS STUNNED AT THE FACT THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE OWNER. HE BEGAN TO MAKE UP LIE AFTER LIE REGARDING THE VEHICLE AND ITS HISTORY. HE EVEN REGARDED THE Z BLACK AND MY CARFAX REPORT AS INCORRECT. HE HAD NO INFO OR HISTORY, HE COULDNT LIE THAT WELL AND I WAS SETTING HIM UP FOR FAILURE DURING OUR ENTIRE CONVERSATION. AFTER A CAREFUL REVIEW OF THIS COMPANY AND A LITE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS HACK JOB OF A CAR WAS NOT FOR ME! WHEEEW, THANK YOU JOSHUA JACOBS- A TRUE NSX CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH ACURA OF SANTA MONICA. I AM NOW TRYING TO GET MY MONEY BACK FOR THE SHIPPING BOTH WAYS. AS IT TURNS OUT THEY CAME BACK IN THE MORNING AND JUST DROVE IT BACK TO THERE SHOP. EVEN IF I DONT GET MY MONEY BACK I AM VERY HAPPY THAT GOD BLESSED ME WITH GOOD PEOPLE/ FRIENDS IN MY LIFE AND A VERY GOOD SENCE OF A SCAM/MER. THIS BUSINESS HAS A VERY SHADY PRACTICE AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LEARN FROM MY DEALINGS (AMONG OTHERS) REGARDING Z BLACK AND THE (SHADY) R-MOTORSPORTS LEGACY.
