If your ever in the market to buy a quality semi-truck choosing just the right truck is very important. Choosing just the right dealership is even more important. Not all dealerships do a complete inspection on trucks and make sure that they are ready to work and ready to generate money especially once you have put down a sizeable down-payment.
Ohio Truck Sales in Sandusky, Ohio is one of those dealerships. I recently interviewed one of the unfortunate customers that chose to do business with this dealership and was sold a truck with coolant leaking into the engine as well as a cracked engine block .
This basically means sabotage because the tractor will over heat , head gaskets will fail , and cylinders also most likely the rods deep inside the engine block will need replacement. We are talking a complete over haul of the engine and components costing a whopping $21,000. Now imagine you just put down 20% on a $55,000 dollar truck . Then had other expenses such as plating , permits , inspections etc.
Ohio Truck Sales takes older model Peter Built Trucks and Kenworths that have serious mechanical issues then will paint them and put a new chrome bumper and stacks to sell for big profits and leave the customer with equipment that will fail.
The lenders they use are in on the scheme this is why each unit has a tracking device installed before it leaves the shop. So that when the truck fails Ohio Truck Sales will buy the truck back at a discount from the banks to resell again.
The sales manager's name is Ainsley in her own words, " We do not back up our equipment , it's old our trucks can be 20 plus years and there is no warranty we don't care if the truck fails on the road once it leaves the lot. " Please see the photos below of an engine block from a tractor recently purchased from Ohio Truck Sales.
On September 17,2019 I purchased a 1999 Kenworth W900L with a Cat 3406E. The truck was advertised with 100,000 miles on engine rebuild. I was aware of the limited warranty but what they did to me was fraud.
The truck started having issues before the warranty ended. I contacted Ron and Jim at Ohio truck sales. I was told no need to bring truck back and the warranty didnt mean much. I hung up feeling like I was used and on my own. I had not gotten through hauling one haul before the truck went down.
I took it to the Kenworth dealership, they had to go into the engine. They reported there was no rebuild on the engine. A complete report was written up by Kenworth to indicate someone at Ohio Truck pieced together hoses and parts to get the truck off the lot but no rebuild as adveertised on paper.I paid $38,000 for the truck and now I would have to spend $37,000 for a rebuild I was told I had.
I called and told the manager what they did and asked they pay for the rebuild. I had a truck sitting at Kenworth with a load on it. They told me they could and would not do anything for me. I am now without a truck and unable to pay for the repairs or another truck. I am angry that they can get away with something like this. This is fraud. I will pursue them in court.
