If i could give this place zero stars, i would. I bought a 2012 mini cooper s in may of 2014 from james lee who is the owner of the business. I was referred to him by a friend and believed he would be trustworthy, i couldnt have been more wrong. When i showed interest in the car, he literally called me at least twice a day to get me to buy the car. Knowing that he was an aquaintance of my friend, i didnt negotiate on the price and paid everything he asked for with the belief that he would take care of me if i had any issue, couldnt have been more wrong again. After driving the car for only 5k miles, i hear grinding noises every time i brake and immediately know that the rotors are gone. It was a used car so i cant really complain that the brakes wore out too soon. However, when i take it to a shop which my friend owns, im informed that all for calipers have to be replaced aside from the rotors, sensors, and the pads. The calipers were uneven and were grinding the insides of my rotors. Like i said, if it were the rotors and the pads alone, i wouldnt even be writing this review but the calipers werent properly in place when i purchased the car to begin with. The shop quotes me $2k and i call james lee for assistance and whats his response? That theres nothing he can do because theres no proof that its their fault. As i express my frustration for over 30mins, he doesnt say a single word unlike when i was purchasing the car. I paid the asking price of the car in full and was provided with a service that made me regret even walking into this dealership in the first place. Theyll do anything to make u buy the car and even tried to illegally find me a fake address for my insurance to save me money because they werent going to accept a dime less than what they were asking for on the car. Once i signed and drove the car off the lot, i never heard from james again, not even to ask how i liked the car. I hope that no one else ever has to go through the trouble i went through and would highly suggest that you go elsewhere to purchase your next car. I am a korean myself but this type of service from a korean dealership is such an embarassment. Dont be deceived by their kindness when you show interest in a car because once you sign the papers, thatll be the last you hear from them. As long as they get their money, their job is done.
