Steve Saleen and his new company, SMS supercars, will be honoring the warranties of Saleen Inc. despite having left the company two years ago. Saleen said he will be covering any warranties for any Saleen Inc. product purchased on or before Febuary 2, 2009.

“The ones who have been left out in the cold are the loyal customers of Saleen products. While my new company, SMS Supercars, has no legal or moral obligation to take up any of the warranty claims against Saleen, Inc. or MJ Acquisitions, Inc., I would like to make a bold statement on the right way to treat customers.”

Steve Saleen retired from Saleen Inc. in 2007. Hancock Park LLC, which owned a large share of the company, sold a majority share of the company’s assets to MJ Acquisitions earlier this year. MJ Acquistions has since stated they will not be honoring any warranties of the old company.

“I was saddened about the way the current owners of the proud company I founded, and which held onto my name after my departure two years ago, have now dealt with my loyal and longtime customers.” said Saleen.
