Schmidy's Machinery

Schmidy's Machinery from Clinton IL. sold me a 2008 Ford F750 for $44,000, after we completed the paper work and I wired them the total amount, they stopped communicating with me. When I finally got a hold of them, they told me there was a mistake and they sold my truck to someone else, and they will be sending me my money back plus one thousand dollars extra for the mistake, however, it has been 2 weeks since and everyday they say they are sending the money right away, but they still won’t return any of the money. I have just filed a police report for fraud, and filed a complaint with the Illinois Secretary of State Police against their dealer license. I’m in the process of contacting a local lawyer to start a lawsuit for my money, plus damages this situation has caused my business.

In 15 years buying trucks this company is worse to deal with, The truck I purchase was 60K andwas delivered with injectors problems just to start with, and Jesses said he would reimburse me for the cost to fix. Well he did not! He is dishonest as they come. Trying to get truck to pass inspection was another joke it cost me another $3000.. Stay clear of this company. We are filing a complaint with the attorney General. And will be suing him.

I did a little research and found Jesse is being sued over his sales practices in the past. You can look for yourself.

Warning to all potential buyers this guy lied to me and many others. He is dishonest. Stay clear and run.

Do your own research you have been warned

I purchased a forestry truck from Schmidy's last fall and have nothing bad to say. They gave me a quality truck at a decent price. The customer service was exceptional. They even volunteered to upgrade some equipment on the vehicle--BEFORE I ever brought it up! Before I start sounding too much like a commercial, feel free to call me (number's on my website) if you'd like to verify this.

Regarding Jesse's rebuttal to Jon F.'s review, I am inclined to believe it. I checked the BBB site and there were no complaints as Jon F. claimed.
