If you live in Central Vermont and are thinking of buying a used car, please let us help you!!!

More often then we like, we have to tell a customer that the Used Car that they just purchased is unworthy of the money they spent.

I hate when this happens. At this point, there is not much we can do to help them out…. If only they had called us before they bought the car!

If you find a car you are interested in purchasing from a Private Sale, a Used Car Lot or off a New Car Dealer’s lot Please Call Us First!!!

There are 2 ways we can help you:

#1: Stop in at Auto Craftsmen to pick up a FREE copy of my book “How To Buy A Great Used Car”.

Over the years I had seen way too many people purchase a used car that was not worth the money spent – or worse… should have been taken to the junkyard and never sold to anyone. This made me soooo angry that I had to do something.

I spent a winter sitting at my kitchen table writing everything I knew about buying a used car, and put together a work book that helps you walk through the whole used car buying process so that you will successfully purchase a great used car!

#2: Auto Craftsmen can also help you out with our “Used Car Inspection Service”.

Our ASE Master Technicians will thoroughly inspect the vehicle and give you the information you need to negotiate a good deal or avoid a lemon.

• If a dealer or private owner won’t let you take the vehicle for a 2^nd opinion – run away, they obviously have something to hide.

• We give the vehicle a thorough 2 1/2 – 3 hours detailed inspection looking over every system on the vehicle.
  

• We will take pictures and print them out for you of any repairs the vehicle needs. Use these pictures as bargaining power!
  

• A detailed report is written of what the vehicle needs to be safe and reliable – and we will explain everything we find in language you will understand.
  

All this information you will be fully prepared to negotiate a good price or avoid a nightmare!

How Much Does our Used Car Inspection Service Cost?

In Reality it Cost Nothing!

Most customers recoup the cost of this service when they use the information from our inspection to negotiate a great deal.

Buying from a Dealer: very seldom will they lower the price, but you can get them to fix any problems found, do some maintenance work and sell you tires at cost

Buying from Private Owners: you can get the private owners to go down in price when they learn about all the repairs and maintenance the vehicle needs to be safe, reliable and sell-able.

Please remember that all most all used cars need something… and it’s imperative that you know what it needs before you spend any money.

• You can’t rely on how the cab, body and motor looks…

• You can’t rely on the price to gauge the condition of the vehicle…

• You can’t rely on the vehicle being a “Certified Used Car” or it having a “Clean Car Fax”….

• You can’t rely on what the owner tells you about the vehicle…

Seriously, I have seen it all – and it makes me angry that there are so many ‘Car Sharks’ out there taking advantage of hard working folk. Each vehicle is unique and needs to be inspected by a trained auto technician. These folks do this work everyday and know the inside secrets of what to look out for. I can’t stress how important it is to have a thorough inspection on a used car before you buy it!

For your convenience we have a shuttle service, and five loaner cars.
