On March 14 Matt Pierrepont and wife sold a 1969 VW bug to my child for $1,850.00. Matt claimed to be a "good business owner and excellent mechanic", an auto technician checked out the vehicle and gave it good reviews. An agreement was made to pick up the vehicle the next afternoon. During the night and following morning Matt had switched engines on the vehicle. Once the money was given to Matt and Wife they stated that the Title to the vehicle was at his work and they promised to deliver the Title the next day (Monday). Matt and Wife left the scene, the car started but ran really rough and when it was later looked at by the same auto technician, there was a problem, much leaking etc. From the engine. An apparent swap had been made, it was NOT the same engine.
We tried to contact Matt repeatedly throughout the week to try to get the Title from them, we were constantly told to meet them at strange places (truck stops) etc., for Title delivery, but Matt Pierrepont and Wife would not show up at the place and time they scheduled to meet. Matt Pierrepont and Wife would not return phone calls, or deliver the Title to the 1969 VW as promised and that was completely paid for.
By Friday, March 20th, the Police were notified and DOL was contacted. Matt and Wife had no business selling that car, they did not have Title to it. There is a lien against the car by a bank and the Pierreponts swindled $1,850.00 from a young adult.
These scam artists should be ashamed of themselves. Please DO NOT do any business with MP Repair or Matt Pierrepont and Wife. They will lie, cheat and steel from you without a thought. Don't believe a word they say even though they "appear" to be honest, hard working folks like the rest of us. If they cheat an innocent child, they will rip you off too!!!
