I did a VIN check on the car I was looking at and it came up clear. I found the real Ernie - Ernest Engelking - who owns the legit Ernie's Auto. He advised they don't sell classic cars, but do mostly repair work. He is aware of the scam, has reported to authorities and received a number of complaints for scammed individuals and demanded that the scammer, Ted Lasso, cease & desist using his company name. The photo of the CEO on the bogus website isn't that of Mr. Engelking. Even though I did my homework (negative reviews post-date my research) I got taken. Don't fall for this scam it is very thoroughly put together and realistic looking. Have reported to IC3. Don't believe the scammer's response to my review. The deal "fell through" because the car has never been delivered. I did not get my money back. Also, the photo of "Ernie" is bogus. The real Ernie is 82 years old. This is BS through & through.

I also asked for some photos to be texted to me so I could see the condition. Six days later when the car was being picked up, Andy charged me the following: 8 days for outside, unprotected storage $200 Saturday service fee to hand over the keys $75 Texting photos to me $15 The total bill came to $290 and all he did was give the keys to the shipping company. This should have only cost $150 for daily rate plus $15 for texting photos. In my opinion, Andy knew he could take advantage of me and my deceased brother's situation. I would caution anyone thinking about using this company to get a quote in writing and be prepared to deal with a negative attitude from him and his staff.

Well he suggested Autotronics and boy am I glad they did. 3 months later oddly enough just before he headed back to school as the first unit failed as his first semester ended. So I rushed to get the vehicle in to a local shop 5 hours from Autotronics and followed up by calling to check on the warranty. Jay at Autotronics was absolutely incredible. Told me not to worry I was covered. Take it to where ever I want and get it repaired. But it didn't end there. I was heading to the west coast and Jay knew I was busy and he took the time to call the national warranty center and get a claim started for me and call me with the number! Are you kidding me? This level of service has all but disappeared from our society, but not in Mankato. In the end we had the vehicle repaired and yep Jay called to follow up on how it went. Needless to say we are customers for life and so should anyone in the Greater Mankato market!
