    MotorMeister is finally closing down, better claim your car or engine!

    By all indications given in this discussion, MotorMeister is FINALLY going out of business. They were/are selling customer's cars with lien sale titles as seen on Craigslist and in this current ebay auction:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/151160997390

    This is in addition to the cars and engines seen held hostage at the 1:10 mark of this 2010 video: Sneak Peak of Motor Meister's New Facility for 2010! - YouTube

    According to a good source, MM's facility is locked down with investigators checking things out. If your car or engine is seen in the above links, I would make an attempt to claim them now. Call the Downey Police and report your car/engine stolen so there is a paper trail to get what's yours when the investigators sort this out.

    Check out the photos below taken from the above links. I wonder if there's anything we can do to help reunite these cars and engines to their proper owners...document VIN and engine numbers and post them?

    UPDATE:

    Have 1st hand knowledge that Bureau of Automotive Repair investigator's name is Mario Salas.
    He spent 6 hours there yesterday and counted 78 cars. He recorded every VIN and instructed MM not to lein any vehicles. Apparently may be placing stop on any and all paperwork filed at DMV forthwith.There are hundreds of motors gearboxes and engine cases scattered all over the shop. Mom and dad are there daily at least for the near future. Do not trust them. And I am sure they they will not be there too much longer. Jerry Jr. allegedly had a veracious appetite for hookers, drugs and Vegas. Thats where all the money went. He is currently AWOL according to Downey PD. By the way the real last name of dad and son is not Marks. Its Marquez according to an employee at the site. They apparently wanted to appear as caucasion descent and not hispanic. At least 3 or 4 customers claimed cars and motors yesterday and today. 1 customer from Virginia even hired a Private detective to retrieve his car and parts. A local body shop who painted cars for MM and is owed thousands is sitting on at least 10 cars. If you have anything there that belongs to you better get it asap. MM is not long for this world and the old man has parkinsons. Wish everyone good luck with retrieving their property.

    Roaches are tough to kill. Don't be surprised if they resurface under a pseudonym.
