Stay FAR Away from Nash Auto – Lying, Deception, and Legal Threats!
Written by Jared on 03/05/2025

If I could give negative stars, I would. Nash Auto is one of the most dishonest, deceptive, and unprofessional dealerships I’ve ever dealt with. If you value honesty, transparency, and ethical business practices, DO NOT buy a car here. 1. Multiple Lies and Gross Misrepresentation on My Sales Contract • I negotiated a price for my vehicle with Ashton Salah (salesman), but AFTER the deal was made, he slipped in thousands of dollars in extra charges for things I never agreed to. • They are trying to force me to pay for a “surface protection” plan and an “anti-theft device”—neither of which were discussed before I signed the contract. • Nash Auto also grossly underestimated my DMV registration fees and claimed they (Nash Auto) would cover the difference—only to later demand I pay it myself. 2. Hidden GPS Tracker and a Kill Switch in My Vehicle – Not Disclosed at Sale! This is where things get truly disturbing: • After purchasing my vehicle, I discovered an aftermarket GPS tracking device AND a remote kill switch that were not disclosed anywhere on my contract. • One of these devices is hardwired into my vehicle’s electrical system and has the ability to shut off my engine remotely. • California law requires full disclosure of any GPS or starter-interrupt devices at the time of sale, but Nash Auto conveniently “forgot” to mention this. 3. Lying to My Face and Threatening Me with Legal Action • When I brought these issues up, both Ashton Salah and Shannon Salah (sales manager) admitted that they failed to disclose these things to me, pointing blame on one another. Shannon even mentioned Ashton is “only 18” and since he’s so young he makes mistakes. • Instead of apologizing and fixing the problem, they turned around and THREATENED ME WITH LEGAL ACTION for daring to call them out! • JR (the general manager) refused to take responsibility and instead tried to bully me into signing away my rights, including my right to leave honest reviews like this one. 4. An Absolute Nightmare of a Dealership • They lie, manipulate, and deceive customers, then try to intimidate them into silence. • They hide fees, add-on charges, and even TRACKING DEVICES without disclosure. • They backtrack on verbal agreements and refuse to honor their word. • When caught, they threaten legal action rather than fixing their mistakes. Final Warning – AVOID NASH AUTO AT ALL COSTS! If you don’t want to deal with hidden fees, fraudulent sales contracts, undisclosed tracking devices, and threats of legal action just for asking for transparency, do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. There are plenty of reputable dealerships that don’t engage in these disgusting tactics. I plan to report Nash Auto, Ashton Salah, Shannon Salah, and JR to the California DMV, Bureau of Automotive Repair, and the Department of Consumer Affairs for their deceptive business practices. This place is a scam operation, and I will make sure everyone knows it.
