FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why buy from Autohouse?
Why should you buy your next car, truck, or SUV from Autohouse? That’s easy! So you can get a great deal on a good dependable used vehicle. We have sold more than 5,000 vehicles in the last 13 years to folks like you. You don’t have that many transactions unless you are treating people right. We get most of our business from referrals and repeat customers and that’s just the way we like it. Bottom line, we treat people the way we would want to be treated, with honesty, integrity, and excellence.
Who is Autohouse?
Autohouse was built by the mother and son duo Dot and Jason Wiltshire. Both are lifetime local residents who have deep roots in the community. They are not your typical used car dealers! Dot is a retired school teacher and Jason is a Mechanical Engineer with a degree from Southern Polytechnic State University with specialties in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma training. They are just a hard working family trying to run a successful business. No double talking car dealers, just straight talking neighbors.
Aren’t all used car dealers crooked?
Of course not. I know I know... we have all heard of the mind blowing horror stories and used car dealers are the only group with a lower approval rating than Congress! Yikes, that’s pretty bad. But here at Autohouse, we are trying hard to reverse that trend. It’s not easy. We’ve all had an ugly experience trying to buy a car at some point. We get it! Our goal is to make your buying experience as pleasant as possible. How? By selling reliable vehicles, talking straight, and not playing games. Bottom line, we try to treat people like we would want to be treated, the first time. And it’s working! People are telling everyone about us! Give us a chance and we’ll make a believer out of you.
How Does your Buy Here-Pay Here Program Work?
It’s simple. All you need to have is a down payment and the ability to make bi-weekly or monthly payments and we will finance you. It doesn’t matter what your credit looks like. The amount of the down payment usually depends on the vehicle you want to purchase. As the price of the vehicles goes up, the down payment and payments will increase. The bi-weekly payments range from $175 and up on our starter cars and go up from there. The length of the term is usually around 2 to 2.5 years.
Will you take $500 down?
No, $500 barely covers the TAVT Tax on most vehicles these days. We know some dealers only require $500 down to finance you. We know this because their customers come see us when that $500 clunker breaks down in 2 months…or 2 weeks! Then the buyer is stuck with a JUNKER that doesn’t run but STILL HAS TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS! That’s why we try to buy good, reliable vehicles. Those vehicles cost more and require more down than just $500. Buyers who put down over $1,900 have more “skin” in the game and have a much lower default rate.
What if I don't have the full down payment?
In some situations we can break up the down payment into pieces. For example: if you needed $2,500 down, then you could drive out with $2,000, and then pay the remainder (pickup payment of $500) in 2 weeks. We also take trades of anything of value for down payments! Guns, Gold, Jewelry, Boats, Campers, Motorcycles, Lawnmowers...anything of value we will consider for trade. We can do things traditional dealers can't or won't do to help you get some wheels! Let us know what your situation is and we'll try to help you with ideas to get your down payment money.
What Insurance covered is required?
Georgia State law requires that you have insurance before you drive off the lot. If you are financing a vehicle with us you will need full coverage (comprehensive, collision & liability) with a $500 deductible.
What if I have good credit?
Great! We partner with several banks/credit unions and can assist you with getting your financing completed through them.
