Remeca Auto Parts
My son bought a vehicle with money he earned himself and was ripped off. The vehicle is a total piece of junk
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!
Remeca Auto Parts has blown me off after $1100 purchase
Class Action Suit
Ripped me off 1800 dollars on a motor
All who have been taken by Remeca Do the following
Motor not received
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???
Delivered a damaged engine, promised refund, cannot contact

Remeca auto parts
Fraud
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

HERE YOU GO AGAIN, NOW THIS GUYS ARE USING THE NAME AIM USED AUTO PARTS... WHAT A JOKE!!!
W A R N I N G
DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS PEOPLE, THIS IS A TRAP, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE INCLUDED ON THE LONG LIST OF DECEIVED CUSTOMERS
THIS ARE THE LIST OF THE COMPANY NAMES THEY HAD WITHING THE PAST 5 YEARS
REMECA CORP
REGIONS AUTO PARTS
SALVAGE & RECYCLING
NOW IS AIM USED AUTO REPAIR
SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!
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.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO GET A HOLD OF THESE CROOKS PLEASE CONTACT FRANKLIN PADILLA OR HEATHER PADILLA AT HIS CELL (813)-712-**** OR HIS OFFICE PHONE (813) 223-****. HE IS THE OWNER OF LEGAL ADVANTAGE AND LOGISTICS AUTO PARTS IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED LOOKING FOR CAR PARTS.

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.
