John Canoutas/ Auto Wholesale-best in the business!!! No haggle pricing and non-forceful sales tactics made my purchase of today the easiest in my 40 years of purchasing automobiles. I selected my car by No haggle pricing and non-forceful sales tactics made my purchase of today the easiest in my 40 years of purchasing automobiles. I selected my car by reviewing a vast array of advertisements through CarGurus and Autotrader - without fail their vehicles were well described and presented. Upon arrival John simply drove the car, a 2017 Honda CRV Touring SUV, to the front of the dealership - opened the door and allowed us to spend time "looking over" the car and of course, test driving. The car matched the description "as advertised" and drove/looked like new!!! Financing was spot on - 2.99% and he even absorbed some of the negative equity with-in my trade. Again, no hassle-no running back and forth to the sales manager-no running back and forth to the finance department----the salesmen do it all!! Indeed these guy are the gurus of the auto business.

John Canoutas delivers again! John Canada's help my son get into a car a couple of years ago. Even though he was pre-approved John found him a better rate somewhere else and droppe John Canada's help my son get into a car a couple of years ago. Even though he was pre-approved John found him a better rate somewhere else and dropped his financing rate substantially. When my husband and I went looking for a truck yesterday, John had just the perfect truck for us. We took it for a spin and when we came back we are ready to buy. Great vehicles with zero problems. John whipped through the paperwork like the professional that he is. It was a simple and great buying experience. I send friends there all the time! More

Best Auto Purchase Experience I've ever had! My husband and I went in to Auto Wholsale in Wilmington, NC. We were just going to look to see what might be of interest to us. After just a few min My husband and I went in to Auto Wholsale in Wilmington, NC. We were just going to look to see what might be of interest to us. After just a few minutes, Mr. Canoutas came over to see if there was anything in particular we were looking for and if we'd like to have the keys to look inside any of the vehicles or take something for a ride. We saw a couple of cars that looked interesting and a lot of great prices so we decided to take one for a ride. After driving our now new Nissan Rogue, we decided we didn't need to see anything else. Mr. Canoutas, processed our trade in and did all the paperwork necessary including calling our insurance company and updating our plan. It was a seamless process and we were able to drive our new vehicle off the lot just a short time later. Thank you John, for your professional manner and making our car buying experience a successful one. We'll be back to see you again and will recommend both you and Auto Wholesale to all our friends!
