Most people assume buying a car has to be an afflictive, miserable experience. In the traditional…read moresense, they're usually right. On the other hand, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to local indie dealers like Horseless Carriage. These gentlemen are the epitome of chill. Naturally, it helps if you walk in knowing precisely what you want like we did. I was in the market for buying my son a Honda. After weeks of research, we tracked down a nice Accord that practically had his name written all over it. The price seemed fair enough and included all dealer fees, minus registration (which is handled at your local city hall anyway). One thing that immediately stood out to me was their level of trust. They let us take the car for a test drive unsupervised. That's like...unheard of in the mainstream dealership biz. Honestly though, they needn't worry. We were dead set on making a deal with them, so long as the car passed its pre-purchase inspection. Spoilers: it did. We took the car for a test drive and headed straight to VIP Tires just 3 minutes down the road. Other than routine maintenance issues that need to be dealt with, the only real deficiencies were a small hole beneath the flooring due to a ton of rust on the under carriage and a small crack on the windshield; neither of which were deal breakers for us, btw. In the end, the mechanic offered us complimentary windshield repair, a protectant sealant for the under carriage, plus a free oil change at the shop next door. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting that! Now, because they're an independent dealership with what appears to be just two guys working there (mind you, it was Saturday), I'm not sure if in-house financing is even offered here. Not that it mattered to me since, again...I came prepared. I had planned to pay via pre-approved loan from a credit union. The transaction was easy as apple pie. I have a feeling had I done this at a mainstream dealership, I'd have gotten mega pushback to finance through them instead. I must confess, I walked into this place not knowing what to expect. The car buying experiences I've had over the years with past dealers have left me with an inordinate amount of anxiety. So, I always walk in guarded to the gills. But these guys were no pressure, no BS folks just here to make an honest day's living. Ya know how difficult that is to find these days? Now, you're probably wondering if there are any negatives about this place. Well....there is one: the parking. It's horrendous! The lot is full of cars they're trying to sell with no designated spots for customers to park. All things considered though, that's a wicked small price to pay for having the pleasure of doing business with such a well refined business. It's locals taking care of locals and I love it! I can't say enough good things about this place and its integrity, which knows no bounds. So, I'll cap it all off by giving Horseless Carriage 5 very grateful teenaged sons riding off into the sunset in a new-ish Honda out of 5.

I wasn't in a rush to replace my car, so I took a lot of time (months) to find the right vehicle. Brandon C. was awesome through it all, he would send options that he thought would fit my budget and plan, I test drove a bunch of different vehicles, there was never any pressure to buy. The team was always very friendly and answered any questions that came up. The sales manager Steve S. was also awesome to deal with, he worked to find options in my budget, answered questions I had about warranties, and other options, again never any pressure to buy, gave me a great price for my trade in. Jay in the finance office was great as well, explained all our options for protection plans and again never pressured me or tried to fit me into what they wanted to sell, just gave me clear complete information and let me decide for myself. I would highly recommend checking them out if you are looking for a new vehicle, I'm glad I did.

Mine was due to mailbox that jumped out in front of us on snowy winter evening (cash payment). In both cases, the repairs were excellent and matched the orignal finish. Work completed ahead of schedule too, a nice bonus. Rick provided the detailed estimates shortly after requesting quotes. My truck was a dark blue metallic and I was a bit concerned about a good paint match as these colors can be tricky to blend in with the factory finish. The color was spot on and the repair was undetectable. I dabbled in bodywork when younger and can appreciate the expertise of a good bodyshop. We had some follow up items that needed to be addressed - handled in a timely manner and without issue. Our neighbor used them to repair a bumper on their Toyota truck and provided the referral when we needed some work done. Stop in - you won't be disappointed.

They did not up charge anything and it ended up costing exactly what I was initially quoted. My car was ready right on time, even a little earlier than anticipated. They even cleaned the interior of my car (at no charge!) which was a pleasant surprise. Not only that but when I went in to pick up my car, the man at the desk (might've been the owner I'm not sure) was so professional and kind. He went over the paperwork and bill with me to ensure I understood everything. He was respectful, put things in layman's terms, and I did not feel rushed out the door. But what really stood out to me was that he spoke to me directly and not automatically my husband, who came with me. That's a huge deal to me because as a woman, oftentimes car people will just assume a man is in charge and only want to talk to them. You can just tell that these people really care about their customers and aren't cutting corners.
