Buying From Shumate Truck Center

Shumate Truck Center deals in trucks. Work trucks carry their history in the frame, the hitch and the drivetrain, and a clean cab can sit on a tired chassis. Check the tow gear and look underneath before you pay.

Whatever the grade, the grade is about the dealer. The car is its own question. Ask the dealer if an independent inspection is allowed before you sign. A good lot says yes.

Common Questions

Is Shumate Truck Center a good dealer?
Shumate Truck Center earns an F in the PPI Auto Buyer's Guide. A heavy share of past buyers left one or two stars. The grade reads 64 public reviews averaging 3.6 stars, with 32.8 percent at one or two stars. It rates past buyers' experience with the dealer, not any single car.
Can I get a car at Shumate Truck Center inspected before I buy?
Yes. PPI Auto sends an inspector to the car on the lot in Tampa. You do not have to be there. The inspection covers 122 points, a full OBD-II scan with readiness monitors, a road test and photos of anything found, and the report comes the same day. Ask the dealer to hold the car while it is checked.
How is the grade worked out?
It needs 20 or more public reviews. The star average is pulled toward the national average by 25 average reviews so a short record cannot jump the line, and the share of one and two star reviews sets a ceiling. The full method is on our grading page.
Is Shumate Truck Center open on Sunday?
Its listing shows it closed on Sunday. Hours change, so call before you drive over.
