Pittman Motor Company

Deceitful, lies. Don't go there. They say they don't sell junk cars but he sold me nothing but junk and he lied about it. I went to Pittman's in hopes of purchasing a vehicle/truck that would be reliable. John showed me a two tone Red and White '85 Ford truck. I asked his sales guy if they tuned-up and gave this truck an oil change and he said "every vehicle that comes through here is tuned up and given an oil change". That was a lie and deceitful. I drove it around town and it seemed ok. I had to drive to Dallas one day because of an emergency and I got no further than Canton. The transmission was jumping and acting crazy as well as the oil gauge. I pulled over and pulled the dip stick out and it was bone dry!! Keep in mind I hadn't driven this vehicle to any other place but to my land in Lindale and around the land, that was it! When I took it back to him and told him about the oil being dry he acted confused. I asked him why did your guy tell me that every vehicle oil is changed. Again, John acted confused and said not all the vehicles on his lot has this done. The truck was so bad he had to do something so he had be look at another truck. A 2000 Chevy Silverado. It seem to drive fine from what I could tell however the check engine light and coolant light both were illuminated. I told John I would buy the truck under the condition that he repaired the check engine light as well as the coolant light. He agreed and when I picked up the truck after being away on a business trip not 30 minutes later both lights were on again. Once again I took it back to him to repair. I had dropped it off to him a total of 4 times and the problem never was corrected. Each time I picked the truck up both lights indicating the coolant was low and to check engine light was illuminated within 30 minutes of driving it. The last time I picked up the truck my step father had tragically lost his life to PTSD so the truck wasn't as big of an issue at the time. So dealing with the death in my family I put the truck on the back burner. I called him a month ago and asked what all he did to my truck each time I dropped it off to him and he said he didn't know. I said well surely if you fixed anything you would have it documented?? So, he took my number and said he would find out and give me a call. I never got a call back from him. I called him today and asked what he found out and he said he fixed the A/C. I said nothing was wrong with the A/C and he then said he's done with this truck and hung up on me. This truck cost me $7999.00 and I was ripped off by John Pittman. He doesn't do anything he says he will do. He is unethical, untrustworthy and will do whatever he has to do to make a sale. I probably would have had better luck with buying a truck from a complete stranger instead of a professional rip-off artist like John Pittman. I also found out that the plates that I paid $800 for tax title and licence and your company installed on my 2000 Chevy is actually plates for an 86 Ford. I think that may be illegal, wouldn't you say? My attorney will be contacting you soon if this isn't corrected along with replacing the knock sensors that you claim to have replaced. A reputable mechanic verified that the knock sensors were in fact not replaced.
