    Advertising Review:
    On April 15, 2022 BBB serving Nebraska, South Dakota, The Kansas Plains and Southwest Iowa requested that Fort Pierre Motors substantiate a claim on their website advertising. The business advertises "Bad Credit? No Credit? We have financing options for all credit needs." BBB Code of Advertising states "1. Basic Principles of the Code. 1.1 The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB. 16.7.1 The words "no credit rejected," "guaranteed financing," "all credit applications accepted" or words of similar import can imply that consumer credit will be extended to anyone regardless of the consumer's credit worthiness or financial ability to pay. They must only be used when all credit requests are approved." As of May 23, 2022 the business has failed to modify or substantiate the claim.

    Bought a 2011 Ram 3500 dually from Joel. When I test drove it before the sale noticed the transmission was acting up between 4 and 5th gear. Mentioned it to him and he told me that engine has a power tuner and that the transmission hadn't been programmed to match the engine. I didn't know any better so I took his word for it. I got the truck home and took it to Automatic Transmission and Gear, they told me transmission was junk and needed to be rebuilt. Talked to Joel about it and he threw the "As-Is" several times in the conversation. I talked to a lawyer about it and basically was told it was basically fighting word of mouth since nothing was put into writing. Called Joel back to tell him I want to bring the pickup back since it was less than a week old after I had bought it and he said he wouldn't take it back since as he claimed that I must have ruined the transmission. Then I mentioned about having talked to a lawyer in the hopes that would bring some sense to this and his wife gets on the phone and starts screaming at me about how they will get their lawyers after me and that I would never win because they have gone through this before and they didn't lose then and no way they will lose this fight. Long story short I bought a new truck just to put a new $7000 transmission in it. What a dirty underhanded dealership. Obviously will never buy from them ever again and I will tell everyone I know about these crooks.
