On April 29, I purchased a 1994 Dodge Ram with the understanding that dealer would replace transmission. I gave him $2400.00 for the truck, and also agreed to pay him an additional $450.00 for shop bill in rebuilding transmission. The dealers name is Andrew Schatz. He told me that the truck would be ready for pickup in around 4 days. Schatz encouraged me to call on Monday and he would inform me of the progress made on truck. I called daily for 3 weeks and finally was told the truck was ready. I retrieved truck from dealer and took it home. The next morning when I went outside I noticed fluid had run from transmission and ruined my new driveway. I called dealer who told me to bring truck back to them. I put fluid in the truck and drove it back. They called me the next day and said the real seal was bad but they had repaired it and to come and get truck. I again retrieved the truck and drove it home. The very next morning I made it a mile down the road on my way to work, when the truck started bucking and grinding I immediately turned around and babied the truck home. I called dealer who said he would send a wrecker to get the truck. 3 days later a wrecker arrived and took the truck. I am writing this report on Oct. 26 and I have not had possesion of my truck since they took it 5 months ago. I called and called to no avail; I was given excuses such as, " The transmission is on a delivery truck coming from California and they don't know where the delivery truck could be" " I sent a man to pick up a transmission in Augusta and he brought back the wrong one" " We put the transmission in but the seal is bad have to order a new transmission" These lies went on and on. I have logged countless hours in phone calls to Schatz who lied continually. Finally in frustration my wife and I went to Schatz (I will not call him Mr.) He's a pig. We requested that he either repair the truck or at least give our money back. $2,850 that we had paid him in good faith. He looked us straight in the eye and said "sue me" I went to the local police and filed a complaint also informed the BBB of this situation. I gave Schatz every oportunity to repair the truck. ALL I WANTED WAS THE TRUCK THAT I PAID FOR IN WORKING ORDER! Since that time Schatz has picked up and moved to his present location in Cartersville Ga. I am informing the Attorney Generals Office Of Consumer Affairs about this lowlife scum who refuses to keep his word. He failed to warranty the transmission and has made good use of the money that he stole from not only me, but my family.By not repairing my truck in a timely manner he has caused me loss af wages as I could not get to my jobs; I have continuosly paid insurance on the truck, sincerely believing that he would keep his word. Not to mention that I feel like a fool for ever taking his word; and will never take anothers word in any situation. Now I will have to pay money to have the truck repaired by a reputable company. As a matter of fact "AAMCO" the same company that the Liar Schatz said he sent it to for re-build. They told me they have never heard of Schatz. He is king of the liars. I am talking with the local newspaper about doing an article on this thief. Hopefully we can have him closed down and gift the world with one less scumbag; Andrew Schatz. Too much more to list in this report. I am not the only one he has scammed. But hopefully will be the last!
