Complaint Review: Mohammed alaboodi - Glendale Arizona

Im a 45 yr old deaf male and was an automotive technician at Select auto repair owned by mr. Alaboodi. I had a 1983 mercedes benz 380 sl that was parked at the shop because it had electrical and mechanical problems. i could not afford to fix it because i was only getting paid an average of 250 a week instead of the 400 as agreed upon by the owner and i. I decided to see how much i could get for the car and put it on craigslist. A buyer then showed up and decided to buy the vehicle. i was not informed by mr. Labodi that the car was sold i was just called by mr. Alaboodi that the car was sold and paid for. he handed over the signed title of the car and signed the bill of sale and recived $ 1850 plus $ 250 for making the car run.

He did not give me the money, i then asked for the monet and he said that he will give me the 1996 lexus is 300 that was parked at the shop And use part of the money to get a transmission for it so i can use it while it was not sold yet and if it is sold that we would go to the auction and buy another vehicle to sell and fix, i trusted mr. Alaboodi and just said ok since he was sounding like he was really sincere on yelping me earn extra money, little did i know that he had money problems. i kept asking him about the lexus and he just kept saying he would order the transmission until he sold the lexus and took the money. There was a problem with the title transfer and i just told mr. Alaboodi to give the money back. the money was gone, to complicate things, the shop got padlocked due to failure to pay rent and my car was locked up with mr. Alaboodis tools.

since im deaf and could not use the phone he was the one talking to the landlord on my behalf and i did not know what he said to them. After numerous times trying to recover the vehicle it was now obvoiuos that he will give the buyer the car so he wont get sued. I then recieved a letter from mvd that there was a abondoned title filed on my mercedes benz and that im to pay 500 if we will not get the vehicle , i tried to meet with the landlords rep a certain mike but they did not show up numerous times according to mr. Alaboodi the agreed on the time and date. When they did not show up , they said through mr. Alaboodi that i should send a picture of the title and my license through text or email to mike @ 6024025294 and idid, they said that it was not clear and to resend it, and i did again.

This time they said to send him the back of my drivers license and i did again. Next it was the back of my title and i also did. I felt that mr. Alaboodi together with the land lords rep was just delaying the process so that the abandoned claim on my vehicle came through. I had no car, alone and cant use the phone until my present employer took pity against me and offered to call mike. It was when i was told that the car and title is already transfered and this only benefitted mr. Alaboodi from not getting sued. I was then adviced by my present employer to file. Now im being billed by MVD $ 500 for a vehicle that was sold for $ 1850 which i didnot even get to hold the money, not once. all i want is what is due to me nothing more. my car was technically stolen from me and now i have to pay $. 500 to facilitate its transfer. Inneed your help.
