I have been in the Auto Industry for over 30 years. One could say that I love cars, trucks and SUV's. I have lived in Lawrence for 46 years and love it here. I am a TRUE Jayhawk fan, and a TRUE Chiefs fan. Win or Lose! I have two great children. My son is currently serving in the Air Force and stationed at Langley, and my daughter is a current Kansas University grad and has a great Job at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. We saw a car in their lot, and after I inquired about it, the process was seamless. I would definitely get a car here again. More

I bought a 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2-door coupe from Doug Carter, sight unseen, over email/online. Doug sent me the purchase agreement right away, along with an AutoCheck report, and even lined up delivery More

Jessica, thank you for your business and finding us for your automobile needs. It was awesome working with you, and I am sure your daughter will like the vehicle. Just tell her my first vehicle was a $500 1979 Pontiac Lemans (brown) a color that is not a good color for any vehicle. Again, thank you. You have all of my information if you need to reach out. Thank you, Douglas G. Carter

Thank you so much for the kind feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share it, and we’re glad the staff made the experience easy and low-pressure. It means a lot that you’d recommend us to friends and family. We’re sorry about the confusion regarding installation of the mobility equipment. You’re right that it would have been better if that had been clearer from the start so you could have planned accordingly. In Kansas, modifying braking and acceleration systems on mobility devices requires specialized insurance and training that not every shop is licensed to provide. Unfortunately, we don’t currently hold that certification, which is why the work had to be handled in KC. We understand how frustrating the delay is, especially when it’s more than a month before you can get back on the road. If there’s anything we can do to help coordinate or make the process smoother on our end, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing us.

Great experience. There were no pushy salesmen, and everything was very low key. A few days after our purchase there was a noise from the driver's tire. We took it More
