Avondale Auto Center

Went in today to purchase our first vehicle for our family. Butch was very helpful and he helped us get into a car we absolutely love. We had a really great experience.

Sneaky. Sneaky. Sneaky. Clean Carfax report, but brand new bumper, radiator cap, and paint job. When questioned about it, Mark McMorris’s boss said, «Send them away. I’m not talking to them.» So always ask to get inspection by your own mechanic and a bunch of sneaky stuff will pop up. Don’t waste your time.

did an internet chat about a specific vehicle I had 3 simple questions on. After getting all my info for marketing purposes, they refused to answer my questions which I asked 3 different times in the chat. I wish I had a copy of the whole chat to paste here. The end they ask do you have any more questions? I say: just the 3 questions that I originally asked and were never answered after I answered all of your marketing questions and gave all my contact info… next… «The chat operator has ended this conversation» Nice!!! my 3 questions that were so difficult???
1. still available?
2. clean title?
3. mileage is on original engine (not rebuild)?

First, let me say, I have bought two cars here. With that being said, I believe the cars are a little overpriced. BUT, with both cars, no additional repairs were required. So I feel I got good value for my money. When you buy a used car, you expect the worst, that you are taking over someone else’s problem. Avondale Auto, either they are picking the best cars or else their prep area is AAA. I would have no qualms about doing business with Avondale Auto again.

I recently purchased another vehicle (4^th in 7 years) from them and again the experience was great. Great service, a lot of car for the money. Jerry & his staff are just good people.

I recently purchased a beautiful BMW Convertible from Jerry and Mark! Mark brought the car to me to inspect (in Arcadia), when I saw it I thought it would be perfect as a Fun car. Everyone knows that any used car will need some repairs, but upon inspection, I found it needed a little more than I expected! I let Jerry know, and he sent me a check for $ 500.00 ! Looking for an Honest place to purchase a used car? I would recommend these folks Highly! Dr. Steve

I’ve been looking for a new car. After all the research, after driving a number of different cars, I finally settled, happily, on a Honda CRV. I found an acceptable model at this dealership. And that’s when the experience went south.
When my husband and I went to take a look at the car the salesman really only spoke to my husband. When I spoke to him I often had to ask my question twice. Strike 1.
A week later I called the salesman to make an offer on the car. I reminded him that he’d met us the weekend before and made my offer. He asked for a number where he could reach me and said he’d get back to me. He never did. Maybe if my husband had made the offer… Strike 2.
On the third day I called the sales manager. When I asked him if the salesman had not seriously considered my offer because I’m a woman I got «gee, I don’t know.» That would have been yet another strike but he kept going. Told me my offer was ridiculous and asked if I knew about the blue book. I informed him that, more importantly, I knew about the laws of supply and demand. This guy was incredibly rude as well (because I’m a woman? I wouldn’t be surprised). I’ve run in to this all my adult life. I can explain, in detail that these testosterone-​laden troglodytes would probably envy, the workings of the internal combustion engine. Yet as often as not I’m shown the vanity mirrors or told that I don’t need to see the engine. Avondale Auto Center was no exception. I wouldn’t buy a car from these masochistic men if you paid me.
Strike 3. You are so out.

Pretty good selection of decent, semi-​older used cars (got a great deal on my 2002 Acura 3.2TL).
Andy jumped through hoops (with just as many being jumped through by me) to get me financed, with my ass credit and limited time on my new job. Almost couldn’t get it done, but I’d imagine anyone with a decent credit score would have no problems procuring the car of their choice.
Zero pressure, no shady tactics, a very relaxed atmosphere (not to mention ice cold AC in the sales office). Anyone NOT looking for a brand-​spanking-​new car would be well served to try looking here first.
