  Our business is Tri State Auto Brokers, LLC located in Fuquay Varina NC. We are a used car dealership specializing in Buy Here Pay Here financing.
  WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANYONE AT SPIERON TO DISUCSS OUR ISSUES. We have contacted the company directly via email as they suggest on their website. We are also planning on reporting this complaint with the California Attorney General's Office, which is where this company's headquarters are located.
  -Difficulty making contact with our sales representative to place orders or ask questions
  -Difficulty making contact when GPS units are faulty or need Technical Support
  
  We had a device that was faulty. A technician went out the to the customer’s home. The technician removed the device and said he was running out of time and needed to go to another appointment. HE DIDN’T INSTALL THE GPS BACK IN THE VEHICLE BEFORE HE LEFT. The whole reason to use this GPS is to minimize the loss of our collateral. Well, the customer didn’t show up for the rescheduled appointment, refuses to answer or return our calls, hid the vehicle, stopped make payments and cancelled the insurance on the vehicle. We can’t track it, or disable it.
  
  This loss is a direct result of the company’s incompetence. We do everything we can to minimize our risk of losing a vehicles and would have figured out another option if we knew the vehicle was going to be left exposed to theft.
  
  As a small business, when we lose our collateral it a significant financial loss. This was a direct result of Spieron.
  
  This was the first time we ever asked Spieron to send a technician to troubleshoot and fix a problem. We always take on the task/cost ourselves.
  
  We’ve been customers of for over 15 years but have seen a sharp decline in all departments over the past 2 years. It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this but feel we have no other option but to report our issues to the State Attorney General’s Office and the Better Business Bureau.

  We are sorry to hear about the customers concerns. ****** takes all product and customer experience matters seriously. Wed like to address the key points raised:

  If needed, we will replace the LoJack device and reinstall it at no cost to ensure compatibility with the vehicle.
  LoJack does not sell products directly to consumers and is not involved in dealership sales practices. Therefore, we are not responsible for any requirement or pressure the customer may have felt during the purchase process.

  A request to cancel account #****** was sent on 10/14/2024.
  I spoke with someone mid November 2024 and they confirmed that the account was closed.
  It has been brought to my attention by my accountant that Spireon has continued to charge my card on the following dates 10/16/2024, 11/18/2024, 12/17/2024, 01/16/2025, 02/18/2025, 03/18/2025 and 04/15/2025. There are no reps answering the phones, you only get a voicemail with a promise to call back by the next business day and that never happens.

  Hello! I had this device installed on my vehicle on May 18, 2022. It was installed on a vehicle I financed through ************************************. I have been having issues with my vehicle for months now and due to timing and money restraints, I'm been having my mechanic look into the issues I've been having with my vehicle. When I turn off my vehicle, my car engine turns off but everything on my dashboard stays on and the radio stays on. I've replaced my battery twice, I've replaced the *** and I've still been having issues with my vehicle. All of these things came up when I had the codes read from my check engine light. On March 4, 2025 I was finally able to take my car to the dealership to receive an electrical diagnosis test ran. The results came back that the device was wired improperly and that they couldn't fix the issue. I reached out to the credit union and I'm not sure if they are giving me the run around or if Spireon is giving them the run around about resolving the issue. This has caused me turmoil because this issue is now affecting my headlights and causing me not to be able to drive at night. Also, I'm afraid that other issues may transpire due to the device being wired improperly. I'm am looking for them to fix the issue and reimburse costs from me spending money on an issue that is caused by their device.

  My account had expired and I renewed to the LoJack account on the vehicle on November 21, 2023. Received a confirmation email saying I would be contacted and that did not happen. Called on November 29, 2023. Explain the situation and was given a support case number. I was told it would be corrected in 24 to 48 hours and it was not. Called on December 7, 2023 and given the same runaround. Was told it had been moved to the second level support and it would be corrected in 24 to 48 hours. The exact same statement from the first call. Tried to explain I was already told this before but she just repeated the statement she was reading from. I would like to have the service renewed but keep getting the runaround.

  I recently renewed my LoJack subscription through the app and there appears to be a glitch. I now have two subscriptions for the ************** on the same car that are identical. I have paid for one and Spireon is sending me a bill for the second. Two separate invoices. Their response was I bough it twice through the app. I dont see how they can try and charge me twice for the same subscription on the same vehicle that covers the exact same time period. I want them to cancel or adjust the one invoice that I have not paid yet.

  New van 9/2019 purchased, came with KAHU/Spireon for $500 for 7 yrs. Never worked from day one. Numerous communication with them & no resolve. This year I finally got information that they went with a new *********** have to pay an additional $65 to upgrade what I have to make it work. NO WAY, NO HOW are they getting money out of me. I have demanded to get my $500 back for over a year now. It never worked, I have a new service now with another company and I DEMAND MY FULL $500, or I could ask for all the time and mental anguish I've spend with their incompentence. They keep writing back and saying "we are so glad this case is resolved". WHAT?? RESOLVED?? I never even heard back, now give me my money.

  We apologize for the inconvenience and would like to offer a complimentary technology upgrade including *************************** of the new hardware to resolve the issues you've had with the product.  Unfortunately, Spireon is not a party to the sale of the vehicle with Kahu/LoJack and refunds for the original sale must be addressed directly with the dealer where the vehicle was purchased.  A customer care representative will reach out to follow up on scheduling the device replacement.  Alternatively, you may reach us at **************************************** or ************.

  unacceptable.  when you acquire a company and all it's customers, you are responsible, not the dealer, you were paid for this service to me.

  It's your companies fault if you weren't prepared for the existing customer. 

  It never worked and I informed you I now have another service,  and I want to get the full amount back. I will not get it updated when it's nothing I need . 

  Due to your companies fault at not being sure all the customers you acquired would be able to use your service, is not a commendable star on a rating.  That's not know the business world works. Don't waste anymore of my time. Please send me the $500. 

  Thank you.

  With all due respect, we are not a party to the vehicle purchase which has the LoJack system installed.  This is equivalent to asking a manufacturer like ******* for a refund for a tv you purchase at a retail store like Best Buy.  LoJack is sold exclusively through dealerships and urge you to please seek a refund from the dealer from who you purchased LoJack.  As a good faith effort, we are offering to replace your system at our expense including mobile install at a location of your convenience.

  Customer Answer

  you contact them and have them at least give me 50% back.  you all are the ones that changed the system, you all are the ones that are causing an inconvenience.  Tell them I will settle and for you I will post that you worked with me and agree with a settlement of $250.00  .  I am not contacting them, this is your thing, your business, your doing, they didn't know you were going to mess up their product when it was sold.  $250.
