Professional, transparent, fair, and accommodating Not one to drop official reviews but Auto Wholesale deserves all the 5 star reviews they've received. I'd been searching a 500 mile radius for a spec Not one to drop official reviews but Auto Wholesale deserves all the 5 star reviews they've received. I'd been searching a 500 mile radius for a specific model/make and happened across a listing from Auto Wholesale. I'm out of Raleigh so the fact they were in Wilmington, NC, was just a stroke of luck. From my initial phone conversation with Tim to my ultimate dealer experience with Rob this was by far the best used car purchase experience I've had. Professional, transparent, fair, and accommodating. Credit needs to be given to the GM/owner as well. The fleet of autos here are top notch...they don't buy and try to sell average or worse vehicles. Arrived at 1pm and walked out by 3:30 with a new car. More

"Excellent purchase experience" I've been buying automobiles for over 60 years. I would consider this the best experience I've ever had with a dealership or used car firm.

Our 2nd AW car We bought our first car from Rob in 2009 and its still my husbands daily driver work car at 200k. Throughout our extended family in the last 10 years We bought our first car from Rob in 2009 and its still my husbands daily driver work car at 200k. Throughout our extended family in the last 10 years (my uncle driving 300 miles to buy his first AW car) we have purchased a total of Seven AW cars! Our most recent was bought from Tim and hes so great! When getting an oil change from the KIA dealership a few months after, they asked where we bought the car and when we said Auto wholesale he said you got a good car then and im like duh this is our 2nd one. The add on the warranty AW has is better than most factory warranties on a used car. You dont have to deal with haggling or sales pressure. It would be an insult to haggle them because the prices are dead on. Everyone in Wilmington knows this is where you go to buy a quality car first absolute lowest price. A buy here pay here down the street even copied their business name in hopes people would think they are the AW everyone talks about. When it's time to retire the KIA you best believe I will be right back at AW! More

The best car buying experience in Wilmington hands down I'm a "car guy" which means I am in a new vehicle every 2-3 years. I've leased and bought many cars in Wilmington since I moved here in 1995. Rob Cu I'm a "car guy" which means I am in a new vehicle every 2-3 years. I've leased and bought many cars in Wilmington since I moved here in 1995. Rob Curtis, Tim Hughes, and the rest of the staff at Auto Wholesale made the experience the easiest and most pain free process I've ever been through when buying a car. You will most likely not find better overall pricing on pre-owned cars anywhere in town. Their no hassle pricing approach will take most of the headache away from the get go. Rob himself is very organized and responsive. He also has the tools to work with you on financing options to get you into the car you need, want, and can afford. More

Great car at a great price I loved my experience. The first thing that strikes me is the lack of high pressure sales and subsequent up-sells while closing the deal. I am an educ I loved my experience. The first thing that strikes me is the lack of high pressure sales and subsequent up-sells while closing the deal. I am an educated consumer and I know how to ask questions when I am unsure of something. Tim was very professional, answering all of my questions and giving me space to decide for myself. The inventory turns over quickly so I kept my eye out on their website until the right deal came along and then it was done in a day. More

Best customer service ever! My company had purchased two vehicles from Rodney previously so when it came time to buy more I knew exactly who to call. We had a rather large order My company had purchased two vehicles from Rodney previously so when it came time to buy more I knew exactly who to call. We had a rather large order (several cars) so we figured it would take quite some time to fill. Just over a week later I received a call from Rodney stating that he had filled the entire order. He simply called and said "hey buddy, I have several of what you are looking for. Why don't you swing by and take a look". There was no pressure for us to purchase the cars whatsoever. Upon our arrival, all of the cars were exactly as described. We were able to purchase what we needed without and pressure or back and forth. Just great cars at a great price! Rodney, Tim, and Paul were all super helpful and made this one of the easiest car buying experiences I have had to date. More
