About us:

Philpott Fleet began operations in June of 1996 when Bobby Swan and our staff of five fleet specialists joined Philpott Ford in Port Neches, Texas.   Driven by the idea that studying the needs of our customers was the key to providing them with the personal service they deserve, we opened in a one-room office with a table, two phones, and a willingness to learn.  The reception from the purchasing community was enthusiastic from the start.  Within a year, our customers had taught us a thing or two, our staff had doubled, and business began to snowball.  In year two, we surpassed one thousand units sold and never looked back. 

Since then, we’ve learned a little more about volume and a lot more about the needs of our customers.  Today, we can assist you with specifications and bid preparation so that you can easily determine your vehicle requirements and budget figures.  We hold several cooperative-purchasing contracts so that you can buy quickly and efficiently.  We stock hundreds of fleet vehicles so that your vehicle is often only days away.  We accept trades regardless of condition and can assist with municipal financing to help stretch your budget dollar. 

If you need any extras, we can help.  We have a huge inventory of emergency equipment and accessories so that you can purchase everything with a single order.  Our experienced service technicians can provide partially equipped or turnkey vehicles right out of our shop so that your cars get on the road faster.  If you like, we can even deliver to your door.

What we’ve learned seems to be working.  Since 1996, we’ve provided over 55,000 vehicles to more than 2800 government and commercial customers across the country.  Today, we have a 25,000 square foot service facility with 14 dedicated fleet technicians.  Our total staff has grown to 40 employees.  With sales of over 8000 vehicles last year, we are the largest Ford government sales dealer in the United States. 

We’re proud of our numbers, but we know that they’re just part of the story.  In keeping with our original idea, we don’t just build our customer base…we build relationships.  Whether for one vehicle or one hundred, purchasing agents, fleet managers, and business owners return to us year after year.  We know that all of our success wouldn’t have been possible without their comments, suggestions, and support.  So to them, we send a heartfelt thanks and a reminder that even though we’ve come a long way, we’re still learning from you every single day.  We look forward to serving you again in the future.
