Auto World

If you have recently purchased a car I highly suggest you contact the DMV about your title and plates! We have contacted the BBB and Hayward police as well about this matter. They never responded to the BBB & police say it’s a civil matter. You can file a compliant with the DMV & file a civil suit.
Purchased a car mid March. Problems from the 2^nd day with the car. Came with 3 month/​3000 mile warranty. Took car in to have problems fixed along with agreed upon issues when purchased the car. They had the car for 2 weeks. Only 2 of the issues fixed when we picked up the car. Called the dealership only to have the # disconnected. We had Sam the owners card with his cell #. It took days for Sam to contact us. We had been given the excuse that he was moving the dealership. Took a drive by & sure enough all cars gone! Sam was there and my husband spoke to him. Was told he would call us in 2 days. No call. After I called he called back and told me his creditor came and took all his cars and that Auto World was no longer active but said he was looking for a new place to sell cars. For 15 minutes he rambled on about his problems. He assured me he would take care of the repairs needed for the car and would call me back the next day once we got a quote from a repair shop. Never returned text or calls.
Contacted the DMV only to find out they never completed the needed paperwork and the title is still in the old owners name!!! Had to speak with 2 different departments with the DMV and still have to go in with paperwork to see if we can get this huge mess cleared up. Edit: DMV requires a Surety Bond & to send a certified letter to the dealer before they will give title & plates. Please keep in mind we paid for the car in full at time of purchase.
The repairs needed will cost us over roughly ½ of what we paid for the car or more.
I had checked Unilocal reviews and BBB before we bought a car at this place. I should have disregarded all positive reviews and paid attention to the one calling Sam and Mo con men! It is a shame these people are trying to open another place to advantage of others. The money used for this car was from our son who saved up 3 years for a car. These guys are Conartist.
I’m inclined to think most reviews here might not be legit. They really pushed us to leave a review the day we bought the car. Sam mentioned Unilocal on more than one occasion about other dealers & their shady business practice. It would not surprise me if he faked reviews.

I went in last month to look for a car & Sam was AMAZING! He helped get me approved and helped accomodate me in any way possible. Thanks to him and Alex I now have a beautiful 2010 Ford Fusion that makes my heart melt every single time I turn the key to start it up. I highly recommend this car lot to EVERYONE. I’m even going to purchase my next car from here.

I bought my BMW 745Li here, man do they have loads of nice cars. 5 BMW 7 series?!? I was amazed at all the cars they had. My selection went great! My BMW 745Li is fully loaded with 22in Asanti rims! I love this car!!! And at a price that beat every dealer I was looking at for the last past 2 weeks. If you want a really great deal talk to Alex or Sam. They will really hell you out. They helped me finance even though my credit was bad. I would do business with them again and recommend my family here.

bought a car recently and alex was helping me. talk about a++ service he sold me a great car for a great deal. it was the best deal out there and he got me financed at a great rate. i highly recommend this place and i suggest you talk to alex for the best service.
