When I bought the car, john, a sales representative, promised me that he would have the car inspected by a mechanic before finalizing the paperwork, addressing issues with the tire pressure monitor, tail light sensor, and license plate light. However, the mechanic couldn't fix these issues, and mike, the owner, directed me to his “personal mechanic” in san bruno. After multiple reschedules from mike, the car began to display an engine malfunction error. I informed mike, and he advised me to mention the issue to the mechanic when I brought the car in. When I finally took the car to his mechanic, I was told that there were no errors, but the error lights needed to be reset at a different shop, as the mechanic didn’t have the required equipment. Despite this, the engine malfunction light remained on, and the car started to shake noticeably while driving. A few weeks later, while driving, the car began emitting white smoke from the hood. I texted mike, asking why the issues weren’t fixed, and I had to tow the car to my house. He did not respond, so I called him days later. He told me to call back after new year's to have the car fixed, even offering to tow it to his mechanic. After new year's, I followed up, but mike forgot about the original arrangement and told me to call back in a week. I reminded him of our previous conversation, and he said he would check with his mechanic and call me back. He never did and ignored my follow-up text. On 01/21/2025, I had a mobile mechanic inspect the car, as it had not been operable since December 2024. The mechanic confirmed that the car had never been tuned, the spark plugs weren’t replaced, and it was not roadworthy at the time of sale. On 01/22/2025, I shared my experience in reviews on yelp and google. Later that night, mike called me, but I returned his call on 01/23/2025. He said that if I removed my reviews, dropped my complaints with the dmv, bar, and attorney general, he would fix the car at his expense.

I've had my 2011 Mini clubman s for three years now and had spent thousands of dollars already. I've replaced the water pump, dsc lights, and other things. The indicator lights seem to come on all the time and the mechanics don't always have the idea on what's causing these problems.

My vehicle was parked in my garage for approximately one hour, after driving it for three miles in the rain. The engine spontaneously caught on fire.

After driving to work for 30 minutes, I parked my car. I thought I smelled something as I walked away, so I stopped an looked, but I did not see anything. Five minutes after walking into my building, someone told me my car was on fire. The first witness to see something (a CO-worker) said he saw something on fire drop from the bottom of the car. When I ran outside, the car was putting off a significant amount of smoke. We tried to use a fire extinguisher, to no end, and within minutes we were seeing flames. Five minutes later, the front of the car was engulfed in fire. It was fast and hot. The fire department put it out, but it was a total loss. I have photo documentation of the event.
