If you're looking for excellent service and the least painful car purchasing process ever, you've…read morefound the right place at STROM Auto Brokers and in the hands of Jonas.
I was in the market for a new car for the first time in 12 years. After starting out on my own and contacting a few dealerships, I quickly got overwhelmed with texts, calls, and emails in a matter of days. It put me off wanting to buy a new car at all. A good friend suggested I try an auto broker that he'd gone through several times for leases. He'd had a very positive experience and gotten excellent pricing. This led to a text introduction to Jonas with STROM. While he was already highly recommended by my friend for his ability to get great lease deals on German/European cars, he was just as capable when it came to purchasing a new Lexus (and getting me a discount!).
At first, I had no idea how the broker process worked, but Jonas was extremely patient and quickly answered my multitude of questions over text. STROM doesn't charge you a fee for their service, instead, all fees are paid to them by the dealership. Now instead of spam calls from multiple sale-hungry dealerships (note I hadn't agreed to work with anyone specific at the dealerships yet, no conflicts of interest), I could work with just one person! The entire process became a whole lot simpler, and from the beginning I felt I could trust STROM. We handled all communications by text which made it super easy for me, and Jonas was always responsive.
Jonas immediately found me several available models of the car; however, I decided I wanted a very specific color and features. Over the course of two months (I wasn't in a rush and the car was a unicorn) Jonas and I stayed in regular contact until finally the exact model was in stock. He was able to find it by searching inventory at dealerships outside of my geographic area (dealerships I would have considered too far to drive to), and accessing inventory that was not yet delivered or posted online. From start to finish, Jonas took point in coordinating everything. From finding the car, paying my deposit, the purchase/payment to the dealership, suggesting a great credit union for financing, and delivered directly to my home, I felt confidant that things were being handled smoothly throughout the entire process. The last thing to do was sell my current vehicle, which I chose to do on my own through a used car retailer.
The keys to my new car are finally in my hands, and it's all thanks to Jonas and STROM Auto Brokers. When I'm in the market for another car, I won't hesitate to reach out to STROM for my next car, or to suggest their service to friends who may be in the market. I honestly did not think buying a car could be so painless, if you do decide to go with STROM, I hope you walk away feeling the same (and with your new keys)! Best of luck in your car search!
