They forged my signature which were notarized not in my presence but by them, in house over 800 miles separating us. . I spoke with Finance manager and we agreed to void contract. Unbeknownst to me, they never refunded the money to the bank. Three Months later I have now been in contact with bank explaining that I never completed sale and that I never secured car that was financed..

Prior to this, the lack of compliant manager Mary Valhos attempted to report my Corvette stolen in the State of NY sending the Police to my residence. Their investigation revealed that HBI auto was conducting business in a fraudulent manner. Their attempted threats to intimate me failed when I pushed back and this incident has now turned into a criminal investigation as the owners are now the subjects of an investigation from NY to North Carolina.
