Preferred Automotive Group was started by Jay Leonard as a small lot on Speedway Drive in Fort Wayne with just a handful of cars in 1989. As Preferred Auto became successful, the dealership moved to its current location at 9134 Lima Road and began expanding operations to include a full service department. Growth continued as Fort Wayne began to recognize the quality of Preferred Auto’s vehicle selection, as well as their reputation in the greater Fort Wayne community.
Today, Preferred Automotive Group has two Sales Dealerships and two 20,000 sq. ft. Service Facilities in Fort Wayne. Many of our vehicles are 1-owner and have zero reported accidents. Prior to being offered for sale, our Service Departments inspect each vehicle and make necessary repairs, adding a great deal of value for our customers.
Our goal at Preferred Automotive Group is to offer quality vehicles and automotive service at fair and competitive prices, as well as an experience you won’t find anywhere else. We continue to maintain an A+ Accredited rating with the Better Business Bureau of Northern Indiana and are the only used car dealership to ever win the BBB Torch Award for Integrity in the marketplace.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope to welcome you to the Preferred Auto family.

Not intending to buy a vehicle today but working with Mike Fuentes was fun for us. He found a jeep that we were looking for and were willing to find one even if this this vehicle was not what we wanted. Mike Fuentes was fun for us.

First class vehicles, Preferred Auto should be your first stop for your next vehicle. I know it is mine. More

There was a 2200 mile discrepancy from what the vehicle was listed with vs what it had due to a manager driving it. Truck was “cleaned” but still is very dirty in my opinion, especially for buying a 42k was listed with vs what it had due to a manager driving it. Truck was “cleaned” but still is very dirty in my opinion, especially for buying a 42k truck. Rock chip in windshield wasn’t noticed due to truck being dirty and wasn’t mentioned by sales team. More
