I had a fantastic experience buying my daughter's car here. From the moment I walked on the lot Ryan was welcoming, flexible, knowledgeable, and put zero-pressure on me. He answered all my questions about the vehicle and had it pulled up front and ready for a test drive right on time. He did say, cars move quick here and boy was he right!! I think that says a lot about them. Ryan also made the paperwork quick and painless without any hidden fees or awkward back-and-forth. We were in and out when it was convenient for our family!
“We Highly recommend this dealership!"

**Benchmark service. No BS, no games.**
I’m a car guy. I’ve bought and wrenched on enough vehicles to know how the used-car game usually goes, so I came to Houdek skeptical. Ryan changed that from the first email. He answered every question straight, sent the Carfaxes without being asked twice, pressure-tested the cooling system and checked the CVT fluid when I asked, and provided receipts for the work they did before selling me the car. No pressure, no runaround.
The day after delivery, the alternator failed. That’s the moment most dealers stop returning calls. Houdek replaced it free of charge, and the owner personally apologized. That’s not policy. That’s people who actually care about the folks who buy from them.
We bought this Outback for our family, and Houdek treated it like it mattered as much to them as it did to us. If you want a used car from people who will tell you the truth and stand behind it, ask for Ryan.

Ryan made our purchase seamless and efficient. Best auto sales experience! He made it almost pleasant to spend a bunch of money.
