Customer reviews for Houdek Auto Center in Marion, IA

We had a super easy, smooth car purchase here!

My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Ryan to purchase our Subaru! He was very helpful in answering questions over the phone as well as in person. He worked hard to get us a good rate with a local credit union! We are also from out of state so he made sure we knew what to do once we got home. Ryan was also very personable and clearly cares about doing right by his customers. The whole process took maybe 2hrs. We’d definitely drive the 2.5 hrs again! Thank you!

Very positive experience. Ryan was helpful and very knowledgeable. He went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. Great price and highly recommend.

I had a truly excellent experience with Houdek Auto Center. My experience started well before I ever stepped on the lot. Their online listings were transparent and detailed — VIN numbers, vehicle history, and pricing that clearly reflected fair market value. By the time I arrived, I already knew the prices were reasonable and honest. When I drove onto the lot, the sign that says “No Haggle – Houdek” turned out to be completely true. Cory (the owner) was more like a big brother guiding me through the process than a high-pressure salesperson. I shared my financing goals with him, asked questions about mechanical components, and he took the time to walk through everything with me clearly and patiently. He offered gap insurance and maintenance programs at cost, and there was absolutely no pressure. In fact, he even suggested a reputable maintenance option outside of his own services and helped me understand how to properly care for the vehicle long-term. That level of honesty really stood out. Every promise Cory made, he followed through on. The entire process took about 90 minutes, was straightforward and stress-free, and I left feeling confident about both the quality of the vehicle and the price I paid. If you’re tired of the usual car-buying games and want a truthful, reliable, no-haggle experience, I highly recommend Houdek Auto Center.

Extremely easy, fast, and convenient. The car is in excellent condition and the staff were friendly.
