My name is Steven and I grew up in Albania. Currently I reside in Queens. Growing up, my family owned a driving school, so I have been around the Automotive Industry for a very long time. Recently I have taken that knowledge and interest and joined the team here at Auto Expo. I enjoy coming to work each day because I really like working with my colleagues, but more importantly love working with customers. In my free time I really enjoy swimming, traveling and racing. My favorite travel destination has been Monaco. When I was there, I was able to see my favorite F1 racer, and will never forget that experience. Another long term hobby of mine is rebuilding vehicles. It is an activity I have been passionate about for a very long time. I take this same passion with me each day and look forward to working with you!

Peter, "It has come to our attention recently that you have begun to blog and post comments to social media to defame and disparage the reputation of our company. Nowadays social media can play a huge part in the public's perception of the integrity of a business as well as its viability as a legitimate shopping alternative. Fortunately, we are a well established firm, grounded in the principals providing superior products and service at outstanding value. It is adhering to these principals and core values that have made us successful for over 18 years. There are rival competitors and many people in a similar industry however that may want to see the failure of such success. Unfortunately, this one particular individual, Peter Gjonlekaj, has taken to social media to voice his opinion to members of his social media circle. Auto Expo has always taken a special pride in having resolved any disputes that may arise in the course of doing business in a fair and professional manner. We understand the importance adhering to business practices that will yield good will and referrals from satisfied customers. That is how we have grown our business over the years, and maintain this idea as a centerpiece of our management philosophy. It is our most sincere goal that at the conclusion of each and every transaction that our customer leave completely satisfied. Mr. Gjonlekaj's claim, as far as we can tell, is that he did not fully understand the terms of sale when they were presented to him at the time he took delivery of the vehicle he purchased from us. When it became clear to us that no matter how much in earnest that we tried to re-explain things, we seemed to have reached an impasse and would not be able to resolve his issue amicably. At that point, we offered, on several occasions, during our multiple email and text conversations with Mr. Gjonlekaj, to issue him a full refund and unwind the purchase if he was unhappy. A full refund, no questions asked. Mr. Gjonlekaj rejected that offer and instead threatened to carry out a social media smear campaign if we did not comply with what amounts to paying a ransom or "hush money" payment amounting to several thousands of dollars. Adhering to our principals and firm belief that he was treated fairly in this instance, would not allow us to agree to his terms. While Mr. Gjonlekaj has the absolute right to express his feelings on this matter, Auto Expo must state publicly here that if any published comments were made by those who are not verified customers or from individuals who have never visited our dealership, then the statements will be considered as written defamation/slander, and any libel will result in swift and deliberate legal action."

Good Afternoon Alisha, I speak for the entire dealership staff when I express how sorry we are to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your recent car shopping experience here ate Auto Expo. Our dealership is committed to providing an exceptional buying experience, every time, and that always begins with great customer service. The confusion that occurred stems from the fact that we have been phasing in improvements to our website, and we have been working intently with our webmaster to ensure that glitches have all been cleared up. If you visit our site today, you will see many changes to the car details page. During the transition to the new site platform, we had cars showing up that shouldn't and cars that should were absent. These issues were systemic, and affected referral sites like eBay, Truecar, and CarGurus. To add to the confusion, we had an intern who uploaded the images incorrectly. This error was corrected within 48 hours, however. Not that you or our circumstance should be minimized in any way, but we felt obliged to share these circumstances with you candidly so that you understand more fully that we in no manner, shape or form had any intention of misleading you or any other prospective customer. We have tried to contact you but to no avail. Auto Expo was completely unaware of the problem until you pointed it out. Everything was corrected shortly after your visit, thank you again for bringing it to our attention. The sales team gave you the information they believed was accurate. Our previous experience has allowed to rely on the information provided on the website with the knowledge the information provided was never more than 1 business day old.We have recently instituted a requirement, due in no small part to your particular situation, to require our sales team do a virtual walk throughs for out-of-towners using Facetime or Google hangouts to show customers the EXACT VEHICLE EQUIPMENT without having to drive a long distance. We have done a few, and they have received incredibly positive feedback. We would again like to express our deepest regret for the circumstances surrounding your "less than perfect' experience here at Auto Expo. Please let me know what I can do personally to enrich your experience here at Auto Expo. We are confident that can get the vehicle you want if you would only contact us. If we succeed in convincing you to give us the opportunity to serve you, we will happily reimburse you for travel expenses for your return trip to our dealership. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the details further. We look forward to serving you and regaining your trust and confidence. Regards, Scott Silver | Marketing Director 46 Northern Blvd. Great Neck, NY 11021 Office/Fax | 516.539.3260 | www.autoexpo4.com | Scott@autoexpo1.com

You guys crack me up with your 'heartfelt' responses to all the negative reviews. While I was in your showroom all of you were dismissive and cold and Avi could barely contain his laughter. I kept glancing over at him and he appeared to be struggling to hold his amusement in, like he'd give anything if only he had some popcorn and a soft drink to make this day pure heaven. No sympathies were given while I was there, no one called while we walked down the street and waited on an Uber, while we were at the airport renting a car or on the 12 hour trip home. No one called until you snakes received an email from the Better Business Bureau and I did in fact answer and speak with Steven. You are an establishment that breaks the law with reckless abandon but you're careful enough so as to not get caught. You are the very bottom of the used car industry and you know it. I don't believe one word about it being someone else's fault, that's just you passing the buck to the next guy. I'm sure you'll find time to respond to this once you take a break from writing all those fake 'great reviews' you write. YOU write your own positive reviews because otherwise you'd get next to none.
