My son bought a vehicle with money he earned himself and was ripped off. The vehicle is a total piece of junk

My son bought a vehicle a year ago for 3,000 including tax, tag and title. We have put over 1,000 into it. He has said he will fix it but will not. I realize it has been a year but the vehicle has been driven about two months out of that time. He has been earning money to fix it. It is full of used parts. He will not fix it. There are more details but too many to write here. I realize it has been a year but we have records of repairs, contacts to Mr. Angelo Metallo. My 18 year old son spent his hard earned money he made by raising livestock and he has no vehicle. Mr. Metallo doesn't care as long as no one he knows finds out.

Months of Investigation on Key Players for Remeca!!

I purchased a engine from the crooks at Remeca Auto Parts in April, 2009. I paid $3800.00 and received complete junk! I contacted my salesman, "Al B.", and this crook told me that I would be getting a new engine or a refund. I spoke to Angelo Metallo, this crook also reassured me that I would be getting a new engine or refund. After months of trying to get in touch with them, I never received either the money or the engine! In July, they disconnected their phone! This pissed me off and I drove from Texas to that *** place in Riverview to find out that they have closed their doors and removed all signs. After saving my money, I hired a local attorney and my attorney hired a local investigator. The investigator through public record, property appraisers office, Sunbiz.org and speaking to one of the ex employees of Remeca, this is the result of the investigation;

Angelo Esposito Metallo Sr.-Owner of Remeca Auto Parts, Auto Sales, Remeca Corp. home address is: 11338 Callaway Pond Dr., Riverview, FL. 33579, also owns a home at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578 and also owns the property located at: 8024 and 8032 S. 78th St., Riverview, FL. 33569, 5 ft. 4 inches, 210-220 lbs., drives a blue late model Volvo, with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales whose cell phone number is:813-410-**** and home number is: 813-964-**** continues to work at 78th St. location, loading containers to be shipped out side of the country with used parts, possibly parts obtained through the sales made by Remeca Auto Parts. The property located at 78th St., court records reveal that he is the owner and it is not in foreclosure at this time. The above two other properties above are in foreclosure proceedings. He has a lawsuit pending by a company called Basic Your Best Buy, Inc. Auto Parts, Case No. 10-CA-002159-I for the amount that exceeds 1 million dollars according to court records of the clerk of the court Hillsborough County, Florida.

Angelo Metallo Jr., 5'5, 180 lbs., age of mid 20's, resides at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578, cell; 813-402-****, hm #; 813-671-****, lives there with his wife, Alex Ayres Metallo. This crook also owns a condo located at: 6728 Lake Camden Way, Riverview, FL. 33534 which court records shows that is also under foreclosure proceedings. This thief is the voice and the front man to scam people out of their money. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. have been taken by the sweet talking, lying, manipulating crook. He is the right hand to Angelo Metallo Sr., he has been seen driving a late model white Ford F150 pick up with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales owned by his crook Father.

Jay Ayres, father in law to Angelo Metallo Jr., is the mastermind crook that designed the software for these people to defraud thousands of people across the U.S. Records show through the sheriff's office, that this man was arrested in 1995 for several counts of worthless checks and violation of probation. He also owns several companies and is well connected with software and webpage designers. This man drives an older model blue Ford F150 pick up truck and resides at: 3058 Wister Cr., Valrico, FL. 33596. He owns a company that operates under the name of Global Trade Desk Inc. located at his home address.

The Hillsborough County Public Affairs office has received several complaints that are under investigation at this time. The Attorney General for the State of Florida, also received hundreds of complaints and is also currently conducting their own investigation. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to receive hundreds of complaints and have an ongoing investigation on Remeca and the players.

This investigation has cost me time and money that I did not have but I could not let these crooks get away with what they did to me. All info. provided to you, was provided through the records indicated above and are easy to obtain by anyone. I am waiting for law enforcement to complete their investigation and I will be participating as a witness to this crime. For you guys that know how the internet works, please place this out there so that these complaints can come in to the indicated offices so they can take action against this family of crooks. I will keep updating as I found more out. Thank you and good luck!

THEY WILL SELL YOU A AUTO PART THAT THEY DON'T HAVE MAIN MAN STILL RUNNING THE OPERATION ANGELO METALLO JR .

It looks like they are at it again. Alexandria Ayres is listed on whois.com as the administrative and technical contact for AIM Used Auto Parts.

AIM is a new "junkyard" in Florida... but Google maps doesn't show a junkyard at their address, and the guy on the phone couldn't accurately describe what was directly across the road from where they claimed to be.

Look for lots of complaints about AIM ripoffs over the next year or so... or until they change the name so they can scam more people.

This guy here Franklin Padilla is the one that advice the owners of Remeca to close the company and move to his office in Tampa. After they closed they relocated and opened as Logistics Auto Parts.

Which after stealing from customers closed as well.

He is also being investigated for this and also a insurance fraud with Automobile back in 2003.If you go to sunbiz.org and look for companies under Franklin Padilla he has a couple of companies that are fraudulent companies. This guy is supposed to be a paralegal and knows the law a little bit so that\'s why he is getting away with this but not for long.

Why in the *** would you take the time to do all this??? I hope someone posts all about your family.

These people have families and kids. It’s embarrassing you’d even take the time to do all this.

Remeca Auto Parts has blown me off after $1100 purchase

On March 24th, I bought a salvage engine from Remeca Auto Parts in the Tampa, FL area. I was told the engine would be shipped immediately and arrive by the end of the following week. Two weeks later, I began sending emails to track my order. I sent a total of three, as per the instructions on their website. Not a single email has ever been responded to, and all I provided was my order ID and my contact information, again, as per the instructions on the website. I have now called a total of six times to track my order. The first two times I got the run around and was told "Your order has shipped" with no further information. The third time, I was told "I don't know, call back". The fourth time, I was told "Our system is down, call back". A few days later, today actually, I called again. Now they are telling me that they had begun to ship the wrong engine, and they pulled and shipped the right one, about a week ago. Nobody has contacted me once. When I was trying to buy the part they were extremely helpful. After they got my credit card information they don't want to have anything to do with me! I asked for my money back because I don't want to pay over a grand to get this kind of a run around. I was told I'd have it in a week and they have been nothing but problematic since. It's now a month later and I still am twiddling my thumbs. I was told that I would be contacted by the salesman to discuss getting my money back. He hasn't called, his email keeps getting kicked back to me, and he won't answer his phone. I have left messages.

I bought an engine from them for $650 and the delivery was about three weeks longer then I was told. The engine I got supposedly had 65,000 miles on it but it had a stamp on it that it was remand.

No engine is rebuilt at 65,000. I am convinced they sold me something they didn't have and had to find one. The rod bearings were shot (the reason I was replacing mine) so I replaced those for another $130. My mechanic replaced it for $800, but was told that the motor is junk.

My truck starts but is not drivable. I called as well but found the number was disconnected as well. I am out about $2000.

Please keep me in the loop so I can get into the class action suit.

Class Action Suit

I feel all of you, I had the same problems with the company. In order to make a statement let's do a class action law suit. They take your money and then give you the run around about your part then when it finally comes it's the WRONG one. They sent me the wrong part 3 times and gave me a hard time getting my money back also. They cost me more money than you will ever know. United we stand hopefully they will fall. Calling the BBB and the FTC are excellent ideas but it's not getting your money back and closing down their business.

We also purchased a transmission from this company spoke with Angelo and Mario and even called their personal cell phones, emails and had friends who were local show up to their place of business, etc and they never did sent us the correct transmission. I would be more than happy to participate in any type of suit filed against this POS company.

Plus when I tried calling they changed their number.

Caller ID sucks at times.

I ordered a transmission on the 12th of Feb and was sent the wrong one then was told that they would send me my money back and like the rest of you i am still waiting. I dont know how to go about the class action suit nad if anyone has any if can you please email it to me.

Also i am trying to figure out how to get my money back on a debit card.

Email is bigcountryofctlt@***.com i would appreciate any advise. Thanks

It is very unfortunate that we all have to go thru this….I was actually able to get a hold of someone at Remeca before the phones went down. From what I understand, their website was hacked and they are working out issues with their merchant company.

If anyone is trying to receive a refund from Remeca, just call your credit card company and dispute it. The money will be back in your account in less then 48 hrs.

I got my $2000 back into my account....It definitely took some persistent, but in the end, I was able to get my money back

I hope you find this useful. God Bless Everyone.

I have been dealing with these people since June 2nd and they did nothing but lie to me over and over again. First they tell me that the motor is on it's way it will be to me by Wed.

It doesn't come. Then they tell me that it will be to me by Fri. so I wait. So I ask them can I just drive down and pick the motor up.

Well no because it hasn't even left TX yet. Wait I thought you had already told me it was already in FL and being shipped to me. Then they tell me they are having problems with there shipping company and it will be shipped out on a Monday and will be to me by Wed. Thur.

at latest. Well I am finally tired of them lying to me all they time and ask for my money back and they tell me that I needed to talk to the accountant. So okay let me talk to them. Oh well she just went to lunch.

That was 12:30 on June 25th. so I call back at 1:30 and they tell me well she just went to lunch. They had told me that she had went to lunch an hour ago. So I call back at 2 and guess what she is still at lunch.

When is she going to be back? About 30 mins. so okay I call back at 3 and She is still at lunch. A 4 hour lunch.

I really need that job. Well I call back at 4 and they have all went home. So I call them back Monday the 28th and every number has been disconnected. Web site is down.

I am so mad. Because of them I had to go out and buy a car. This motor that I bought from them that they said would only take 10 days to get to me has not even showed up. I have 3 kids to take care of and a job that I couldn't get to because of no car.

Now am I not only out of $800.00 for the motor but I am out a total of $3900 for the car and engine.

I want to be part of this class action law suit. I have contacted the BBB about them 3 times now.

Guest

Please email me about the class action lawsuit. purchased transmission 2 weeks ago and not received it nor been able to get into contact with them. I would love for them to pay dearly for what they have to all of us.

Ripped me off 1800 dollars on a motor

I bought a motor from remeca. paid to get it put in to find out it was the wrong motor. They told me to haul my truck down there or pay to ship it back and they would refund my money. luckily i hauled it down there cause as i have seen i would not of recieved a refund for my 1800 dollars. they took three weeks to get it fixed or what they call fixed. i drove the truck from tampa to south georgia and it quit working. they claimed they had went backrupt but the bankruptcy court has no files of the company or the listed owner, angelio matello, being bankrupt. i have now spent over 700 dollars to get the motor i had already paid 1800 for. these are some sorry *** *** mexicans and somebody needs to ship these mother *** wetbacks to cuba,mexico, puerto rico, or where ever the *** they came from. if i ever make it to tampa again and see any of those mother *** even the big *** al, ima *** somebody up. so if marco, angelio, or al is reading this...be ready ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased a engine from the crooks at Remeca Auto Parts in April, 2009. I paid $3800.00 and received complete junk! I contacted my salesman, "Al B.", and this crook told me that I would be getting a new engine or a refund. I spoke to Angelo Metallo, this crook also reassured me that I would be getting a new engine or refund. After months of trying to get in touch with them, I never received either the money or the engine! In July, they disconnected their phone! This pissed me off and I drove from Texas to that *** place in Riverview to find out that they have closed their doors and removed all signs. After saving my money, I hired a local attorney and my attorney hired a local investigator. The investigator through public record, property appraisers office, Sunbiz.org and speaking to one of the ex employees of Remeca, this is the result of the investigation;

Angelo Esposito Metallo Sr.-Owner of Remeca Auto Parts, Auto Sales, Remeca Corp. home address is: 11338 Callaway Pond Dr., Riverview, FL. 33579, also owns a home at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578 and also owns the property located at: 8024 and 8032 S. 78th St., Riverview, FL. 33569, 5 ft. 4 inches, 210-220 lbs., drives a blue late model Volvo, with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales whose cell phone number is:813-410-**** and home number is: 813-964-**** continues to work at 78th St. location, loading containers to be shipped out side of the country with used parts, possibly parts obtained through the sales made by Remeca Auto Parts. The property located at 78th St., court records reveal that he is the owner and it is not in foreclosure at this time. The above two other properties above are in foreclosure proceedings. He has a lawsuit pending by a company called Basic Your Best Buy, Inc. Auto Parts, Case No. 10-CA-002159-I for the amount that exceeds 1 million dollars according to court records of the clerk of the court Hillsborough County, Florida.

Angelo Metallo Jr., 5'5, 180 lbs., age of mid 20's, resides at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578, cell; 813-402-****, hm #; 813-671-****, lives there with his wife, Alex Ayres Metallo. This crook also owns a condo located at: 6728 Lake Camden Way, Riverview, FL. 33534 which court records shows that is also under foreclosure proceedings. This thief is the voice and the front man to scam people out of their money. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. have been taken by the sweet talking, lying, manipulating crook. He is the right hand to Angelo Metallo Sr., he has been seen driving a late model white Ford F150 pick up with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales owned by his crook Father.

Jay Ayres, father in law to Angelo Metallo Jr., is the mastermind crook that designed the software for these people to defraud thousands of people across the U.S. Records show through the sheriff's office, that this man was arrested in 1995 for several counts of worthless checks and violation of probation. He also owns several companies and is well connected with software and webpage designers. This man drives an older model blue Ford F150 pick up truck and resides at: 3058 Wister Cr., Valrico, FL. 33596. He owns a company that operates under the name of Global Trade Desk Inc. located at his home address.

The Hillsborough County Public Affairs office has received several complaints that are under investigation at this time. The Attorney General for the State of Florida, also received hundreds of complaints and is also currently conducting their own investigation. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to receive hundreds of complaints and have an ongoing investigation on Remeca and the players.

This investigation has cost me time and money that I did not have but I could not let these crooks get away with what they did to me. All info. provided to you, was provided through the records indicated above and are easy to obtain by anyone. I am waiting for law enforcement to complete their investigation and I will be participating as a witness to this crime. For you guys that know how the internet works, please place this out there so that these complaints can come in to the indicated offices so they can take action against this family of crooks. I will keep updating as I found more out. Thank you and good luck!

All who have been taken by Remeca Do the following

I as everyone of you have been taken for a bad ride by Remeca. This post is to consolidate what steps we all need to take for justice to be served and hopefully of money returned. These have already been recommended just posting in one central location. *File a complaint with your local police department ask that they forward to the Hillsborough County Sheriff 813-247-****. *File a complaint with the Florida Attorney Generals Office www.myfloridalegal.com :under consumer protection on the side bar there is a online complaint form. *File a complaint with the State Attorney General in your own state ;most have an online complaint form ;you did purchase parts from Remeca while in your home state and the parts were to be shipped within the same. *File a complaint with the FTC www.ftc.gov they also have an online complaint form. The FTC only compiles complaints but numerious complaints on the same company will send up a red flag an is excellent evident of the fraud Remeca has committed. Also since they ve used the internet and sold across state lines it might get forwarded to the FBI's white collar division. There are individuals who are seeking possibly a Class Action Suit an I am all for it; click onto that posting you can find their comments on this post. quoting in comments in other posts "DO NOT LET THIS GO. FIGHT THIS AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK. I ALSO WANT A PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT." and "Together we stand! Divided we fall! No justice! No Peace!"

I bought an engine from them for $650 and the delivery was about three weeks longer then I was told. The engine I got supposedly had 65,000 miles on it but it had a stamp on it that it was remand.

No engine is rebuilt at 65,000. I am convinced they sold me something they didn't have and had to find one. The rod bearings were shot (the reason I was replacing mine) so I replaced those for another $130. My mechanic replaced it for $800, but was told that the motor is junk.

My truck starts but is not drivable. I called as well but found the number was disconnected as well. I am out about $2000.

Please keep me in the loop so I can get into the class action suit. witmeraa@***.com

I bought an engine in May, when it hadn't arrived within the 10 business days as promised I called Remeca. I was transferred to shipping, told I was yelling at him and also told they had to "switch" shipping companies so it was delayed.

I asked to speak to a manager and finally hung up after being on hold for 27 minutes. This gave me a horrible feeling - I called my CC co and disputed the charges. That next Monday website down, phone lines disconnected. The owner had emialed me to try and solve the problem but he never called or emailed back.

But we cannot stop there! If there is no money in their account Remeca's CC co eats the charge NOT REMECA!!! The owner's name is ANGELO METALLO - if you google/white pages him you will find his personal phone number and address.

I have contacted a "on your side" news station in Tampa and the BBB in any effort. If anyone starts a class action let me know- I cannot since I will be refunded.

Guest

Most of you if you are with in 60 days of purchase you can file a dispute with your card company. I had attempted to do so when I recieved the engine and was given the run around by Remeca.

Unfortunely because I had the engine I could not file a dispute. I continued to work with Remeca , which on July 1 looked as if things would get resolved. I was told to check back on the Monday , which I did , to find out all lines are disconnected. Now I was 1 day passed the 60day mark to file a dispute , attempted to do so anyway.

MarterCard would not allow my bank to file a dispute.

So HURRY and file a dispute with your card company if you have not done so yet. I am having to resort to contacting an attorney and going through civil court.

Guest

I bought an engined from them and it took two weeks, just for them to send it because we where calling then everyday to see whats going on,,,And they send me the wrong one

Guest

Remeca customer,

When I called them I was told they were doing "inventory." Why would you have your phones disconnected and your website taken down. Sounds very suspicious to me.

I'm glad I lived close enough to confront them when I had problems with the engine I ordered. Of course they gave me a one year warranty that's worth jack squat but at least I got something.

Guest

I made a purchase with them last march. recieved to wrong parts which they took back and never issued a refund. does anyone know if my CC would still refund me the money??

Guest

It is very unfortunate that we all have to go thru this….I was actually able to get a hold of someone at Remeca before the phones went down. From what I understand, their website was hacked and they are working out issues with their merchant company. If anyone is trying to receive a refund from Remeca, just call your credit card company and dispute it. The money will be back in your account in less then 48 hrs. I got my $2000 back into my account....It definitely took some persistent, but in the end, I was able to get my money back

I hope you find this useful. God Bless Everyone.

Guest

I also ordered a transmission from Remeca in April and unfortunately did not receive but i got ahold of my cc company and disptuted. They explained to me that if i never received it i didnt have to worry about paying for it and they will credit my account.

I hope this will help. Also believe that who ever typed this comment seem to have a personal problem with those people.

Guest

I have also been weaseled by Remeca. I purchased an engine on May 18th and have not recieved it yet...but I am in the process of getting my money back thru my credit card company...so if any of you paid by credit card you may want to go that route...the credit card company is also investigating.

Motor not received

My motor went bad in my car and I had to have it towed to our mechanic so I wnet online and thought I had purchased a motor for my Hyundia Santa Fae, only to find out that remeca took me for $1350. I contacted the police dept. where I live and in Florida. Also called the Attorney General's office. What idiots that they think they can just get away with this. I hope everyone gets their money back from these scammers. I would like to be in the class action law suit. It took time away from me spending to try to actually find a motor for my car.

No way to contact Remeca of Riverview....

Well, here we go!

Been working with Remeca in Riverview FLA, since Feb of a Saturn Vue trans & motor issue... TWO months to ship it to my shop, motor was shipped seperately, (even tho I purchased a motor & transaxle assembly as one unit), and took way too long!

Long story short, motor ws nice, I'll attest to that; HOWEVER the trans was not complete, looked like it was dropped, (elec. connectors broken, dents in pan,etc.), and was definatley not a 42K mile unit I was sold.

3 weeks after instal, trans started to fail, (was not 100% off the truck to begin with), and trying to get a warrantee unit for my customer. Kept getting the run-a-round, my rep. not available or on the other line or????

Called last week, (6-25-10), and got no the same run-a-round. Called today, (6-29-10), and the numbers are dissconnected!!! ALL OF THEM I had!

Web site is " under construction", (basicaly down), fax number is off, local numbers off...

Can you say "OUT OF BUSINESS??????"

Any suggestions of contacts, post back. Called chamber of commerce, they have had a few calls but no details... anyone with an idea??? I have to make it right for my customer, but geeze! take my $$$ and close shop without the product promised???

Still dealing with trying to get my money back for the money Remeca ripped off from me. Bank says it may take up to 120 days to bet my money back.

Filed a complaint with BBB and they closed it saying unresolved. Filed complaints with Consumer Protection Agency and Attorney General in Florida and STILL nothing is being done. What type of protection is there for consumers when they are ripped off. If we robbed a store or a bank, something would be done immediately.

This is ridiculous and I am at the end of my rope and not sure what to do.

Out $1800.00 and still no car to drive. :cry

Guest

I suspect the person telling you to attempt a reversal through your credit card(s) works for the company. File theft charges, ASAP!

A charge-back - even a series of them - allows the owner to reopen under a different name and with a different car processor, and do the same thing to other people.

Criminal charges aren't so easy to walk away from. On top of that, if they have already withdrawn the funds from their account, the card company cannot recover them.

It is very unfortunate that we all have to go thru this….I was actually able to get a hold of someone at Remeca before the phones went down. From what I understand, their website was hacked and they are working out issues with their merchant company.

If anyone is trying to receive a refund from Remeca, just call your credit card company and dispute it. The money will be back in your account in less then 48 hrs.

I got my $2000 back into my account....It definitely took some persistent, but in the end, I was able to get my money back

Delivered a damaged engine, promised refund, cannot contact

Ordered engine from Remeca, engine delivered damaged, Mr Angelo promised refund and to this date no response or action on part of Remeca, never again; do not use these guys!!I am a military veteran with over 30 years and I have never been screwed by anyone, these guys are the pits and cannot be trusted. I cannot contact them by any means, if anyone knows how then please post it. truly substandard products and service and I should have known it when the engine arrived late and damaged. Mr Angelo is definitely a kiar and i figured as much when his secretary never called as he stated she would in reference to resolving the issue. Well I guess a warranty is out the question as well, "God help people like this", for he truly needs peace!!

This guy here Franklin Padilla is the one that advice the owners of Remeca to close the company and move to his office in Tampa. After they closed they relocated and opened as Logistics Auto Parts. Which after stealing from customers closed as well. He is also being investigated for this and also a insurance fraud with Automobile back in 2003.If you go to sunbiz.org and look for companies under Franklin Padilla he has a couple of companies that are fraudulent companies. This guy is supposed to be a paralegal and knows the law a little bit so that\'s why he is getting away with this but not for long.

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS not everyone is getting there money back. I have alots of email concerning this, and lets talk common sence i am glad you got your money back but whose to say you not a part of remeca.

I know they look at these post that's way me and lots of customer have been communicating be email and phone. You need to look at the big picture you paid them 2000 for a part, who refund your money your card company not Remeca. So who still have 2000 and who have to cover the lost for the credit card company i think the federal gov and our tax dollars that sums it up.

I was told to dispute the charges also and i told them the samething i am posting and i was going to report it. Remeca has pocket all these people money and now its the credit card responsibility to pay it back now that's common sence and i have notify the credit card company about this FYI if remeca is on this site its wrong people have lost jobs, just start working and then someone just take their money with no attempt to deliver a part and those who was lucky to get a part it was wrong part or did not work and now and they can't get a refund some have returned parts and have not got a refund and being stock with the freight bill on top of money they paid for the part and like myself my car is in the shop old motor pulled and never got the motor paid for so guess what i either have to come up with some money to buy another motor or i am going to be charge storage charges i just start back working i do not have that kind of money and i pray that my card company pay it back but i don't think so will keep everyone posted on that

Guest

I also have been had by this crook.I bought an engine with 45k mile ,after A long wait it showed up but was marked 197101 miles on it.The hoses were full of mud & looked like it was flooded ,It is out of time and the injectors are clogged up and won't start .I'm out $750 + labor now.I went to the local sheriff and state police.They can't help,they said Would have to file a law suit and go to Florida.Also It ain't as simple as filing a dispute with your card company as some say either, you must return the engine first which will cost $100-200 more plus labor.and they are not there to receive it.

Guest

Remeca started with lies and I did not receive my motor in the condition and within the the time frame they stated.

My calls were met with excuses and more "Fibs".

I canceled the credit card transaction and got my money back.

Bad business practices will always fail.

Buyer beware! Will Remeca be operating under a new name?

Guest

911 is for emergencies ONLY! it is not intended for complaints, information, number forwarding, etc...

Guest

It is very unfortunate that we all have to go thru this..I was actually able to get a hold of someone at Remeca before the phones went down. From what I understant, their website was hacked and they are working out issues with their merchant company.

If anyone is trying to receive a refund from Remeca, just call your credit card company and dispute it. The money will be back in your account in less then 48 hrs. I got my $2000 back into my account..It definitely took some persistent from my end, but in the end, I was able to get my money back

I hope you find this useful.

God Bless Everyone. :)

I purchased a engine from the crooks at Remeca Auto Parts in April, 2009. I paid $3800.00 and received complete junk! I contacted my salesman, "Al B.", and this crook told me that I would be getting a new engine or a refund. I spoke to Angelo Metallo, this crook also reassured me that I would be getting a new engine or refund. After months of trying to get in touch with them, I never received either the money or the engine! In July, they disconnected their phone! This pissed me off and I drove from Texas to that *** place in Riverview to find out that they have closed their doors and removed all signs. After saving my money, I hired a local attorney and my attorney hired a local investigator. The investigator through public record, property appraisers office, Sunbiz.org and speaking to one of the ex employees of Remeca, this is the result of the investigation;

Angelo Esposito Metallo Sr.-Owner of Remeca Auto Parts, Auto Sales, Remeca Corp. home address is: 11338 Callaway Pond Dr., Riverview, FL. 33579, also owns a home at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578 and also owns the property located at: 8024 and 8032 S. 78th St., Riverview, FL. 33569, 5 ft. 4 inches, 210-220 lbs., drives a blue late model Volvo, with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales whose cell phone number is:813-410-**** and home number is: 813-964-**** continues to work at 78th St. location, loading containers to be shipped out side of the country with used parts, possibly parts obtained through the sales made by Remeca Auto Parts. The property located at 78th St., court records reveal that he is the owner and it is not in foreclosure at this time. The above two other properties above are in foreclosure proceedings. He has a lawsuit pending by a company called Basic Your Best Buy, Inc. Auto Parts, Case No. 10-CA-002159-I for the amount that exceeds 1 million dollars according to court records of the clerk of the court Hillsborough County, Florida.

Angelo Metallo Jr., 5'5, 180 lbs., age of mid 20's, resides at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578, cell; 813-402-****, hm #; 813-671-****, lives there with his wife, Alex Ayres Metallo. This crook also owns a condo located at: 6728 Lake Camden Way, Riverview, FL. 33534 which court records shows that is also under foreclosure proceedings. This thief is the voice and the front man to scam people out of their money. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. have been taken by the sweet talking, lying, manipulating crook. He is the right hand to Angelo Metallo Sr., he has been seen driving a late model white Ford F150 pick up with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales owned by his crook Father.

Jay Ayres, father in law to Angelo Metallo Jr., is the mastermind crook that designed the software for these people to defraud thousands of people across the U.S. Records show through the sheriff's office, that this man was arrested in 1995 for several counts of worthless checks and violation of probation. He also owns several companies and is well connected with software and webpage designers. This man drives an older model blue Ford F150 pick up truck and resides at: 3058 Wister Cr., Valrico, FL. 33596. He owns a company that operates under the name of Global Trade Desk Inc. located at his home address.

The Hillsborough County Public Affairs office has received several complaints that are under investigation at this time. The Attorney General for the State of Florida, also received hundreds of complaints and is also currently conducting their own investigation. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to receive hundreds of complaints and have an ongoing investigation on Remeca and the players.

This investigation has cost me time and money that I did not have but I could not let these crooks get away with what they did to me. All info. provided to you, was provided through the records indicated above and are easy to obtain by anyone. I am waiting for law enforcement to complete their investigation and I will be participating as a witness to this crime. For you guys that know how the internet works, please place this out there so that these complaints can come in to the indicated offices so they can take action against this family of crooks. I will keep updating as I found more out. Thank you and good luck!

Remeca Auto Parts owes me $750 for a bad transmission that I have already sent back to them! This has been going on since Feb. I need to know what can be done to get the refund that this company owes me. I have tried contacted them in several different ways including email and phone. The phone numbers that I have have been disconnected and the emails I have sent are being sent back. Please contact me at acm0283@***.com if anyone has a solution or any information. All I want is my refund since I have returned their transmission. Thanks.

Do not buy from Remeca Auto Parts in Riverview Fl

We contacted Remeca Auto Parts about a KIA engine from a nationwide email response on April 8, 2010 Remeca quoted a price for an engine they said it was in their inventory with 46.831 miles for $899.99 we discused this with the customer and they made a counter offer of $850.00. Remeca countered with $875.99 including shipping&handling that the customer agreeded to.

We ordered this engine on April-16-2010, the money was drafted from our account on April-21-2010. It was made in two different drafts on the same day, the first was for $400.00 and the second was for $500.00 which totals $900.00. On April- 23-2010 there was an additional $75.00 charge that was taken from our account that was not discussed or authorized and we still don't know what the charge was for.We have tried to contact Remeca about this situation by phone, and the money was to be credited back to our account which has still not happened as of May-18-2010.

When we ordered the engine we were told by Remeca of the shipping variabals from ordinary to frieght shipping, and the worst case senario with freight shipping would be 14 days, we accecpted that and they were going to supply us with a tracking number to keep up with it.We didn't recieve a tracking number until May-14-2010. We talked on the phone a good bit at the start and nothing we were told happened, and nothing we were told was true.

We were lead to believe on April-23 that the engine was in their warehouse in Florida, and would be shipped out that day. We later found out that the engine we recieved was never in their warehouse, it was picked up from Landot Used Auto parts in Athens, Ohio on May-12-2010. Remeca mislead us about this engine from the beginning.We made a number of calls to them untill May 5 or 6 when they stopped answering our calls.

Finally, on May-18-2010 we recieve an engine. It is nasty,oily,bent and it has sealent all over where the oil pan meets the block. It is evident the pan has been taken off and reinstalled by a non-professional. Who knows what has been done inside. When we checked the condition tag, it states that engine#66921 has 144,000 miles on it, and the engine looks like it came out of a mud bogger. We paid a lot of money for a good low millage engine and we got a piece of junk that we cant use. To add to that, the carriers tried charging another $71.00 for delivery, that had already been paid.

Our customer is extremly upset with Remeca [and with us I might add] this ordeal has caused us a lot of problems. It has costed us money,caused us to loose not only this customer, but three more as well already. We don't know how much more business will be lost over this mess.This customer has had to rent a car for over 40 days, that is $1.529.96 to date,also it cost $25.00 a day storage for the car, thats another $1.000.00.Labor was $350.00, it has been paid for the old engine to be removed, and car cleaned and preped for new installation. Now, they have to look forward to more of the same because they still don't have a ride.

We all as customers of Remeca Auto Parts have been: jerked around, lied too, cheated,ignored, and became victims of fraud. All of this mess is unacceptable and unprofessional. This situation calls for full restitution of funds and trouble.

Engine cost $ 900.00

Additional charge $ 75.00

Rental car $ 1.529.96

Storage $ 1.000.00

Labor $ 350.00

Lost wadges $ 1.000.00

Total $ 4.854.96

This guy here Franklin Padilla is the one that advice the owners of Remeca to close the company and move to his office in Tampa. After they closed they relocated and opened as Logistics Auto Parts.

Which after stealing from customers closed as well.

He is also being investigated for this and also a insurance fraud with Automobile back in 2003.If you go to sunbiz.org and look for companies under Franklin Padilla he has a couple of companies that are fraudulent companies. This guy is supposed to be a paralegal and knows the law a little bit so that\'s why he is getting away with this but not for long.

Remeca Auto Parts shipped a motor that had blown head, then reshipped another in 4 weeks and this is the wrong motor. Also the first motor was shipped back and refused and R&L is looking to collect freight charges from me. Now phone lines are down and web is temp under construction. Some of the Customer Service were nice but that must have been a put on just to get our money. If they resurface I will never recommend them to anyone. If anyone has similar issues I think it is time to contact a lawyer like I have.

I purchased a engine from the crooks at Remeca Auto Parts in April, 2009. I paid $3800.00 and received complete junk! I contacted my salesman, "Al B.", and this crook told me that I would be getting a new engine or a refund. I spoke to Angelo Metallo, this crook also reassured me that I would be getting a new engine or refund. After months of trying to get in touch with them, I never received either the money or the engine! In July, they disconnected their phone! This pissed me off and I drove from Texas to that *** place in Riverview to find out that they have closed their doors and removed all signs. After saving my money, I hired a local attorney and my attorney hired a local investigator. The investigator through public record, property appraisers office, Sunbiz.org and speaking to one of the ex employees of Remeca, this is the result of the investigation;

Angelo Esposito Metallo Sr.-Owner of Remeca Auto Parts, Auto Sales, Remeca Corp. home address is: 11338 Callaway Pond Dr., Riverview, FL. 33579, also owns a home at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578 and also owns the property located at: 8024 and 8032 S. 78th St., Riverview, FL. 33569, 5 ft. 4 inches, 210-220 lbs., drives a blue late model Volvo, with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales whose cell phone number is:813-410-**** and home number is: 813-964-**** continues to work at 78th St. location, loading containers to be shipped out side of the country with used parts, possibly parts obtained through the sales made by Remeca Auto Parts. The property located at 78th St., court records reveal that he is the owner and it is not in foreclosure at this time. The above two other properties above are in foreclosure proceedings. He has a lawsuit pending by a company called Basic Your Best Buy, Inc. Auto Parts, Case No. 10-CA-002159-I for the amount that exceeds 1 million dollars according to court records of the clerk of the court Hillsborough County, Florida.

Angelo Metallo Jr., 5'5, 180 lbs., age of mid 20's, resides at: 8516 White Poplar Dr., Riverview, FL. 33578, cell; 813-402-****, hm #; 813-671-****, lives there with his wife, Alex Ayres Metallo. This crook also owns a condo located at: 6728 Lake Camden Way, Riverview, FL. 33534 which court records shows that is also under foreclosure proceedings. This thief is the voice and the front man to scam people out of their money. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. have been taken by the sweet talking, lying, manipulating crook. He is the right hand to Angelo Metallo Sr., he has been seen driving a late model white Ford F150 pick up with a dealers license tag registered to Remeca Auto Sales owned by his crook Father.

Jay Ayres, father in law to Angelo Metallo Jr., is the mastermind crook that designed the software for these people to defraud thousands of people across the U.S. Records show through the sheriff's office, that this man was arrested in 1995 for several counts of worthless checks and violation of probation. He also owns several companies and is well connected with software and webpage designers. This man drives an older model blue Ford F150 pick up truck and resides at: 3058 Wister Cr., Valrico, FL. 33596. He owns a company that operates under the name of Global Trade Desk Inc. located at his home address.

The Hillsborough County Public Affairs office has received several complaints that are under investigation at this time. The Attorney General for the State of Florida, also received hundreds of complaints and is also currently conducting their own investigation. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office continues to receive hundreds of complaints and have an ongoing investigation on Remeca and the players.

This investigation has cost me time and money that I did not have but I could not let these crooks get away with what they did to me. All info. provided to you, was provided through the records indicated above and are easy to obtain by anyone. I am waiting for law enforcement to complete their investigation and I will be participating as a witness to this crime. For you guys that know how the internet works, please place this out there so that these complaints can come in to the indicated offices so they can take action against this family of crooks. I will keep updating as I found more out. Thank you and good luck!

It is very unfortunate that we all have to go thru this….I was actually able to get a hold of someone at Remeca before the phones went down. From what I understand, their website was hacked and they are working out issues with their merchant company.

If anyone is trying to receive a refund from Remeca, just call your credit card company and dispute it. The money will be back in your account in less then 48 hrs.

I got my $2000 back into my account....It definitely took some persistent, but in the end, I was able to get my money back

I hope you find this useful. God Bless Everyone.

Remeca auto

I too was ripped off by remeca auto!! We bought a motor from them for $1400 dollars and they sent us the wrong motor so we paid them $300 more for another motor and that motor was no good!!! We have been waiting for a refund, they have both motors back and our money and now we can't get in contact with anyone!!! The carrier is billing us for the shipping! Not to mention we are out the money for paying the mechanic for the labor of installing two motors that was no good!!! The website is down too, are they still in business and how can we get our money back???
