I work with Clint and the team on a weekly basis and they are a stand up group. Trust is key when buying cars especially when spending large amounts of money. They can be trusted. Very good group

In January 2025, we purchased a vehicle for our daughter to drive to and from school, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rob was absolutely fantastic to work with—kind, patient, and incredibly respectful throughout the process. What stood out most was the way he treated our daughter: he spoke directly to her, offered thoughtful suggestions, and genuinely wanted to help her find a car she’d love. There was absolutely no pressure, just a sincere desire to help us make the right choice. Rob recognized that this was her decision—she was spending her own hard-earned money. That level of respect and consideration is rare and truly appreciated. The transparency from Houdek, especially the detailed information they provide on what has been fixed or serviced on each vehicle, gave us (as parents) peace of mind and made us feel confident in her purchase. We are so grateful to Rob and the Houdek team for making this a smooth, positive experience. We highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Thank you for helping our daughter find a car she’s excited to drive through college and beyond!

The guy who helped me, Rob, was very sweet and kind about the vehicles I test drove. He didn’t try to push us into buying a car which most car places try to do, but instead helped me to try and find a car I would love a lot. People that sell cars like that are needed a lot more in this world! Thank you Houdek and Rob for helping me find a car that I can have until or through college

This is the fourth car that we have bought at Houdek and all have been fantastic! We have also sent our kids there to buy cars with just as much success as we had.

I had a great experience working with Rob! He was patient and knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in. He was very responsive with questions I had after the initial test drive and I felt confident that I was getting a great vehicle. Overall a very stress free car buying experience and would definitely recommend!
