SW Auto LLC SW Auto Sales Purchased car from SW Auto they said was good but needed repairs immediately. Baytown Texas
On 6-24-2016, I purchased an auto for $10,500 from S.W. Auto. This is the 5th car that I have purchased from S.W. Auto. My salesman was Joe Chan. I always ask Joe if the car is in good condition. His answer was yes. Therefore, I had no problem signing an "as is" contract.
The next morning I had to run an errand and when I tried to leave the car would not start. The battery was down, so I thought I had left the lights on. I had the battery checked and found it was the original equipment, 8 years old, and needed to be replaced. I replaced the battery, the automobile still would not start. I called S.W. Auto 3 times and Joe refused to take my call or return my call. I hired a wrecker and hauled it to the dealership.
The dealership replaced the starter and the door jam striker plate. I then sent the car to an independent auto repair shop because I thought I saw an oil leak. They replaced the gravel shield and repaired the rear seat upholstery that was damaged. I wrote a registered letter to Joe's registered agent for S.W. Auto asking them to reimburse me for $1,575.43 or I would file suit. I did file suit and I lost that case be cause of the "as is" contract.
I would not purchase an auto from S.W. I have known Joe Chan for 10 years. I just have not met this Joe Chan before.
My expenditures for repairs on this auto have exceeded $5,000.

There are a lot of things that I have done that I should have known better. But, there is always some wise old owl that reaffirms my suspisions.

What model car, mileage...if chrysler/dodge, nissan or mitsubishi you should have known better. I've decided yota or honda is
the safest way to go these days.
