Owner, Moe Shakrai: San Diego Import Center Moe Shakrai/San Diego Import Center Ripping off 74 Year Old Woman San Diego California
WARNING! BEWARE!! 100% DISHONEST DEALER!!
We bought a $22,000 vehicle from Moe Shokrai/San Diego Import Center. We paid $12,000 down. Per the contract, we were to pay the $6,000 balance in 10 days.
The engine blew out on the freeway in 3 days. Luckily, there were no personal injuries.
The repair estimate was $11,000. Moe Shokrai/San Diego Import Center refused to honor the 30 day warranty. Moe wanted to back date an extended warranty contract we had purchased, thus defrauding the insurance company, Auto Life Rx. We refused, Auto Life Rx was notified and they pulled his ability to sell their product.
Moe Shokrai/San Diego Import Center then sued us in Small Claims Court for the $6,000 balance of the purchase contract. We had no running vehicle, an $11,000 repair bill, a dishonest dealer and an incomplete original sales contract (no contract cancellation clause per CA law).
Shockingly, Moe/San Diego Import Center initially prevailed in Small Claims Court. We immediately filed an appeal and Moe proceeded to threaten a lien and damage our credit, even though it is completely illegal to start collection until after appeal findings.
However, to stop the harassment and save our credit, we gave Moe/San Diego Import Center a good faith check for $6,000 to hold in escrow. HE CASHED IT!!
We won on appeal and requested a refund. Moe/San Diego Import Center refuses to pay. Further, he never repaired the car, paid the storage fees AND he marked up our credit. Next step: filing in Superior Court.
Every part of this transaction is supported with documentation, including that from the courts.
We lost a total of $22,000 to Moe Shokrai/San Diego Import Center. We believe his positive YELP reviews are fabricated. He know that he has never been a Better Business Bureau member. Please also see his DealerRater reviews which smack of the same -- he refuses to sell good, safe cars.
Please do not give him the opportunity to endanger your family -- physically or financially.
He does, however, have a disco ball in his office.
