AL SANCHEZ, CEO OF SYNERGY SMART , RIDESHARE TEAM, CAME TO OUR SHOP AND TOLD US THAT HE CAN GET US ADDITIONAL ASSIGNEMENTS WITH THE HELP OF HIS PARTNERS UBER AND LYFT. I CALLED CCC ONE TO CONFIRM THEY WORK WITH THIS COMPANY AND THEY SAID THEY JUST SETUP AN ACCOUNT SO IT SOUNDED LEGIT. AL REQUESTED US TO PAY $2000 TO SIGN UP FOR HIS PROGRAM.  WE HAVE BEEN ON HIS PROGRAM FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND WE HAVE NO RECIEVED A SINGLE ASSIGMENT.  WE TRIED TO CALL HIM BUT HIS PHONE WAS DISCONNECTED AND THEN GIVEN A NEW NUMBER BY MARY BERMUDEZ WITH SYNERGY. HE HAS REPONDED TO ME VIA TEXT MESSAGE ONLY AND STATES HE IS GOING TO GIVE US A REFUND. HE SAID IT TAKES UP TO 30 DAYS TO PROCESS, BUT HAS NOW BEEN 46 DAYS SINCE I FIRST INITIATED THE REQUEST FOR REFUND WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH HIM HE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH A MERGER WITH ANOTHER COMPANY AND THAT IS WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO PROCESS

I CALLED OTHER BODYSHOPS IN HIS PROGRAM AND THEY SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT HIM. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ANOTHER SHOP IN MY TOWN TRYING TO GET REFUNDED FROM HIM AS WELL. AFTER LOOKING UP THE COMPANY NAME I FOUND THIS SITE WITH 2 OTHER SHOPS POSTING THERE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH AL AND RIDESHARE. BUT IN THE OTHER POST I DON'T SEE A NAME OR BODYSHOP NAME SO I WILL POST MINE HERE AS I AM NOT AFFRAID TO CALL AL SANCHEZ OUT FOR BEING A SCAMMER AND TAKING OUR $2,000. THIS IS MATT WITH GULICK'S AUTOBODY IN PETALUMA, CA. I HAVE PLENTY OF PAPERWORK TO PROVE MY CLAIM, EMAILS TO AND FROM MARY BERMUDEZ WITH SYNERYGY SMART, AND OUR COMPLETE CONTRACT.

I ALSO SEE THAT AL HAS RESPONDED TO THE OTHER CLAIMS ON HERE CALLING THEM OUT FOR BEING FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST HIM AND HIS COMPANY, SO AL IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO THIS REPORT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME TO MY SHOP AND GIVE ME A REFUND.

Al, then begin refunding the >$100,000 investment money you owe me from your previous Scam you perpetrated on me and my family.

AUTHOR: Robert - (United States)

POSTED: Monday, February 06, 2023

To whom it may concern,

This individual, for whom I invested in his company years ago to rescue him, promised to repay me by August of that year and never did. We had an agreement and it carried interest and he sent me checks which all bounced. He closed his account and never paid me back. At this point, if we include all the interest and penalties, it exceeds $100,000. Unfortunately, he had family problems and other challenges, but refused to repay me, the last time we spoke laughed at me on the phone and by message (yep, still got those).

It is time we all begin the process of taking this man to court if he is no longer interested in being a good American citizen. Even if he paid me $5,000 per month I'd be satisfied and might consider lowering his total sum owed to me, but I'm afraid it won't happen. 

Therefore, I want to warn everyone about this person called Al Sanchez who once operated a travel agency, then somethign else, then another, etc. He even bragged to me this rideshare effort was going to succeed, but refused to allow me to be the President and oversee its success and slowly acquire the money he owed me. 

BEWARE THIS SCAMMER!

YELLING? LOLOL... HE'S TELLING HIS FACTS EXTENSIVELY and you continue to not follow standard business practices so he is more than annoyed by your misbehavior. SO AM I. 

SEND ME MY MONEY BACK TO ME AND I'LL SEND RIP-OFF REPORTS AN UPDATE. UNTIL THEN I'LL RENEW THIS REGULARLY. Praying for you.

Cheers,

Al Sanchez rideshare is back again to help you with Rideshare certified

AUTHOR: johnson - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, May 11, 2019

He is here again with all these issues you are reporting he is going to help drivers with rideshare certified and you guys will see him doing that with others. Because he is good in his business.

"I ALSO SEE THAT AL HAS RESPONDED TO THE OTHER CLAIMS ON HERE CALLING THEM OUT FOR BEING FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST HIM AND HIS COMPANY, SO AL IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO THIS REPORT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME TO MY SHOP AND GIVE ME A REFUND."

You are saying these things becuse of your $2000. And he will give you back your $2000 but are you going to give him his reputation back. 

He lost everything because of this but here he is again with rideshare certified to help the other Drivers.

Replying to an upset false claims Matt Gulick's claims

AUTHOR: Al - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 28, 2018

Matt,

I will not go back and forth with you! We have hundreds of Auto body shops and 95% are happy with us. We have recieved numerous of positive emails from them and they would like to stay on the program with the new merger. We apologize that we couldn't satisfy your appetite. But, to go online and say that I scammed you is really not nice little buddy! So, stop speaking for other shops....Your upset! I get it! You paid for marketing service and it didn't pan out for you. But, sometimes you have to be patient my friend. Good thing happens to those who wait!! There is a new merger happening with a new CEO. So,Matt just chill and relax guy. 

Secondly, we provided our service to you, but we paused to make it "BETTER" it's CALLED GETTING FUNDING!!!..AND NEW STRONG PARTNERSHIPS!

Matt we both have plenty of things to do...Then to sit here and publicy argue. Relax 45-60days the trasition will be done and that 5% of AUTO BODY SHOPS will be happy with the way we departed...

Anyhow Matt! Nonetheless, I like you as a person and I think your great! Hang tight buddy! We'll shake hands at the end soon! and you'llbe happy :)

Response this false accusation.

AUTHOR: Al - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 28, 2018

Hello, 

I am responding to the fact that your calling me a scammer. I have made contact with you directly and informed you of the update sir. I have explained to you that we had to pause due to a merger. But, let me ask you this? If I am scammer like you claim?? Then why would did I place you on our Rideshare Team App? On Google and Apple? Secondly, why did we partner up with the largest auto body estimating company you use?? 3rdly, Why did I list you on our network of Auto Body Approved Body Shops? 4th, Why would I list all of the approved aut body shops on my website??? Didn't you think I knew that you guys were going to know each-other?? It's obiouvsly I was providing a great service to the Uber and Lyft drivers..

NOW, YOU WANT TO GO ONLINE AND SCREAM YOUR HEART OUT...Look this is marketing!! Very simple! Read your contract!

YOU READ IT RIGHT?? WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY, THAT PROVIDES COLLISION EXPRESS SERVICES TO THE RIDESHARE DRIVERS...YOU READ YOUR CONTRACT. I DIDN'T READ IT FOR YOU, I NEVER PROMISE YOU OR FORCE YOU IN ANYWAY TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT. YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT IT CLEARLY "SAYS" NO GUARANTEES...YOU READ THE AGREEMENT AND THEN PROVIDED PAYMENT IN WHICH WE FULLY PROVIDED FOR OUR SERVICES..

SORRY WE DONT CONTROL THE COLLISIONS ON THE ROAD. OUR JOB IS TO SATISFY THE RIDESHARE DRIVERS WHEN THEY GET INTO A COLLISION..

I HAVE OVER 100 HUNDRED GREAT AUTO BODY SHOPS ON BOARD WITH US AND MORE TO COME AFTER THE NEW MERGER...ALSO A NEW EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT OUT TO EVERY SHOP IN OUR NETWORK, WIT THE UPDATES. SO, STOP LYING ABOUT ME BEING A SCAMMER AND NOT UPDATING YOU.

Thank you!

YES AL SANCHEZ IS STILL A SCAMMER

AUTHOR: Matt - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, August 23, 2018

FIRST OFF AL, YOU DID MAKE US A PROMISE, A PROMISE TO PROVIDE A CERTIAN AMOUNT OF VEHICLES PER MONTH FOR REPAIR AT OUR FACILITY. NONE OF WHICH WE HAVE EVER SEEN. SECOND YOU TOLD US WE WOULD BE GETTING TRAINING IN SYNERGY'S EXPRESS LANE BUSINESS METHOD. THIRD WE WOULD BE PROVIDED A DEDICATED ACCOUNT MANAGER. NONE OF THESE PROMISES MADE BY YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED THROUGH BY YOU OR YOUR COMPANY. 

HOW CAN THIS BE A COWARDLY ACT WHEN I CLEARLY PUT MY NAME AND INFO IN THE CLAIM, NEVER DID I TRY TO HIDE WHO I WAS WHEN FILING THIS CLAIM AGAINST YOU, THE ONLY ONE BEING A COWARD HERE IS YOU. THE ONE WHO OWES MULTIPLE SHOPS REFUNDS AND WON'T ANSWER HIS PHONE AND WHO IS RUNNING LIKE A COWARD. 

I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO TRY AND FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST ME THAT WAY I CAN GET YOU IN COURT IN FRONT OF A JUDGE, THEN MAYBE I WILL ACTUALLY GET A REFUND FROM YOU. NEVER ONCE IN MY CLAIM DID I EVER MAKE ANY FALSE STATEMENTS OR CLAIMS, EVERYTHING WRITTEN HERE IS COMPLETELY TRUE, FACE THE FACTS, YOUR A SCAMMER!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE BE CALLED OUT FOR WHAT YOU ARE THEN REFUND ALL THESE SHOPS THERE MONEY AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVE.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY HERE AL FEEL FREE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON WITH ME HERE, AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HEAR REAL TRUTH CAN CALL ME AND ASK ABOUT IT.

THANKS AL SANCHEZ WITH RIDESHARE FOR YOUR TIME

Al Sanchez Replies to Guick's Auto Body

AUTHOR: Al - (United States)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 15, 2018

Hello Matt,

Firstoff and foremost I thank you for taking this cowardly act against me with your false claims, that I AM SCAMMER....Yes I did inform you that you were going to get a refund, but the merger is taking place. Until, it finalizes which is in 2-3 weeks you will be refunded because new partners don't want you on the program , Due to your qualifications. Your upset because their kicking you off the program! Now, lets be clear here!!! I provided you with  a contract in which you reviewed or your lawyer and signed.  I never under any circumstances forced you or made any promises to you.

This is business model, that was working but needed more time and funding. Which now Rideshare Team is a fully funded copmany with new owners and high power investors. Nonetheless,this post clearly violates our agreement.So, thank you for sharing your name and business. Not only now will you not recieved a refund, but now we wil personally file a lawsuit you against you. It's going to cost you more then 2k. Instead, of taking your refund, you go publicly and use my name with false accusations....which is a clear violation of our agreement.

Thank you Matt from Gulick's Auto Body in Petaluma for your time.

The biggest  Rideshare Team merger in US HISTORY COMING SOON!!!
