The Expierience with Mahdavi Motorsports

[Seymour222]

You are way off base.

There were no crank calls or BS emails. If there were, they went somewhere else or unanswered.

The decision came after a simple adult conversation and the review of all bills and payments. The reason I know is because I was standing right there when it happened. Not heresay, I was right there.

The internet drama BS had ZERO to do with resolution at all. It did however really piss some people off to see how many blind followers there are on the net. A lot of people had plenty to say without even bothering to think logically. Look at how many people thought that the verbage of "money tree" referred to Arash bad mouthing the customer when in reality it was the finance company where the customer got some of the money to do the deal in the first place. Makes some people look pretty stupid for assuming, doesn't it?

People were also quick to jump on a bandwagon and double guess the invoice, when in reality some of the prices on the invoice INCLUDED several items that weren't broken out individually. For example, one of the items listed simply said R&R the motor.....but that INCLUDED the machine work, in/out of the original motor (which BTW looked like it been shot at with a canon), installation of all the new rods, pistons, etc. So it wasn't $2000 for a mere motor as some were trying to say. BTW, what someone failed to conviniently mention was the fact that the shop took out a nasty blown 1st gen motor and was replacing it with a BUILT 2nd gen motor. What that means is that it's not just a simple little motor swap and go. The original turbo manifold was CRACKED damn near in half. They didn't SELL him that manifold, they were trying to fix the issue by getting him a new one. Funny how that tidbit got left out. People took off with it and assumed that the CRACKED manifold was part of the deal....it wasn't. It was told to the customer what the problem was. Then it was twisted around like THEY somehow BROKE the manifold during the process, which is BS. See how things get twisted around for no reason.

The shop agreed to give the guy the parts he had almost paid for, assemble the motor and trans so he can finish the swap himself wherever he'd like, and store it all as long as he pays the final payment for what the shop has RECEIPTS for. The customer agreed, said that's great, and now that's what's being done.

Now, if the story was soooo true about giving $10k upfront and what not......WHY would anyone with half a brain PAY another amount of money NOW?????? If HE is sooooo right about it all, wouldn't he just sue the shit out of the shop and call it a day? Think about that for a minute and use logic.

So the story is that I just got "ripped off" by X shop.....I now go BACK to the same shop to get "my" stuff back, yet AGREE voluntarily to PAY some MORE money that I DON'T owe to get "my" stuff back........How's that make any sense at all? Arash and Sam are some mafia MF's to have that kind of power over their customers......

Okay. This WAS resolved via an adult conversation. You are correct by making that statement. However, a question that arises when I hear that statement, that question is: Would it have been possible for a conversation to take place without expressing the opinion over the internet? I do not believe so. When the customer was asked to sign an agreement saying that all of the parts are the property of Mahdavi, including the original parts attached to the car in the first place, and made to agree, from Arash "never to contact or step foot on these premises again". How would this be possible? Perhaps a majority of this was caused because of a lack of communication from Arash to Sam, and we would all hope this would be the case, which I believe, myself, would be the reason. Mr. Mahdavi was very helpful and apologetic, which is appreciated and respected. Mr. Sam expressed his anger towards his brother and the situations that he had to deal with because of the previous actions. In my personal opinion, I do not believe this situation would have made to the stages of resolution that it is in now. I believe this for one reason, Mr. Sam Mahdavi stated that all of his calls are screened, and for a good reason. Sam is constantly handling the garage and needs his attention to be focused on just that, the garage. It makes sense. If he is the only one who is truly capable of resolving this issue, how would it be possible for Mr. Knighten to contact Mr. Sam Mahdavi without calling or visiting the premises. However this is currently off point. I cordially disagree Jamie, but I believe the internet action played a major role in the resolution of this matter.The end result is: Mahdavi contacted Sam Knighten in order to resolve the issue, reguardless of the reasoning behind it. This IS what a reputable shop would do, and I commend that. Thank you Mr. Sam Mahdavi for taking the time to analyze the issues at hand.
