At Autohouse, we OWN all of our cars! That's right, most dealers have their cars on a credit line and don't even own them outright! But since we own them, that gives us the ability to give our customers creative financing options and always come up with a solution. Whether you have a 350 or 850 credit score, WE CAN HELP! Here on our website, you can view our inventory, check out information about our extended warranty options, or even use our easy application form to get pre-approved for financing. We are here to make your next purchasing experience better than any you've ever had! Feel free to CALL or TEXT us at 678-384-1862.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
WHY BUY FROM AUTOHOUSE?
We have sold more than 5,000 dependable vehicles in the last 15 years to folks like you. You don’t have that many transactions unless you are treating people right. We also get a lot of our business from referrals and repeat customers. Bottom line, we treat people the way we would want to be treated - with honesty, integrity, and excellence.
AREN’T ALL USED CAR DEALERS CROOKED?
Of course not. I know I know, we have all heard of the mind blowing horror stories about buying a used car. But here at Autohouse we reverse that trend. 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 OUR 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-$200 and up on our starter cars, and then go up from there as the price of the vehicle increases. The length of the term is usually around 2 to 2.5+ years.
WILL WE TAKE $500 - $1,000 DOWN?
No, $500 does not even cover 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 down 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 a larger amount down have more “skin” in the game and have a much lower default rate.
CAN WE SPLIT THE 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 can also get creative & take items of value in on trade for a down payment. Guns, gold, motorcycles, anything of value we will consider for trade.
WHAT INSURANCE COVERAGE 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.
WARRANTY/SERVICE CONTRACT
Buying a pre-owned vehicle is and big decision and we offer peace of mind when you purchase your vehicle from Autohouse. We offer extended service contracts that ranging from 3 months/3,000 miles to 48 months/48,000 miles.
CONSIGN YOUR CAR WITH US
