Purchased a 2001 Monte Carlo 4/13/2016 from Tom & Michelle Whitten owner/head mechanic at Affordable Auto liberty rd. Vermilion ohio for $3000 (2500 cash plus $500 for my crappy but functionable car) blew up the very next day. He blamed it on us & said he would replace the motor which we had to pay for ($650) & not charge us labor as is his 90 day guarantee on vehicles he sells. He had the car for approx 6 weeks. When we finally got it back we had it for 5 days & the first time I took it on the highway it blew up again. He came & got it again said that motor had a warranty it must be bad he was gonna have them send a different one. Should only take a week. Then texts us a week later saying he thinks the trannys not showing causing a chain reaction so to speak & says he's going to replace that too at no charge cuz he's "such a nice guy". Another 6 weeks later he claims to have put so much work into it & it's still not right (mind u it's in vermilion we or ppl we know drove by it everyday & it sat in the same spot blocked by the same vehicles everyday) so finally after 3+ months of dealing with him we got it back Friday July 29th in the worst condition yet. It sounded & ran horrible then as of Saturday July 30th it wouldn't even start. He's now ignoring our attempts to contact him or rectify the situation. In summary I paid him $3150 cash plus a $500 trade in for a car that doesn't run. He now ignores attempts to contact or resolve issues. Just since I went public this morning the response from people he as screwed over is overwhelming, sad, pathetic, & dispicable. Please tell everyone you know not to deal with him or his 2 junk yards one of which is on Cooper Foster by baumhart or his towing service lake Erie towing.
