      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      We purchased a used car from California Motors Direct on March 5, 2024. At the time of purchase, they wanted to meet their sales quota for the day so they told us if we closed the deal that night, they would still honor any issues that came up in the pre-purchase inspection we had scheduled for the next day as well as a few other pending items that were due for the car. After the pre-purchase inspection was completed, we returned the car to them to complete a repair that was needed and they were supposed to finish up all the odds and ends. We had difficulty getting a clear answer from them on when we could pick our car up. We finally picked it up on March 15, 2024 and they had not fulfilled a few of the odds and ends. They told us the items would be shipped to us and arriving between 3/19 and 3/25. On the 25th when we still had not received the items we were due, we contacted the sales **** *************** and received no response. On 3/29 we reached out again and were told the items were shipped to him and he could drop them off on Sunday 3/31 or Monday 4/1. We set it up to meet with him on Monday at 6pm. On Monday, ****** asked if we could move the meet to Tuesday and we agreed. On Tuesday, we never heard from them and haven't heard from them since. It also appears the work they told us they were going to complete during the 9 days they had our car, was not in fact completed.
