THE BEST USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA!!!!

We've been loyal customers of Northern State Auto and it's owner Mike H. for many years. We've purchased used cars and had repairs done at their facility over those years. I can tell you with extreme confidence that there is no other used car dealer, in the area, that cares about his customers more than Mike does. I have personal experience of his truthfulness, respect and reliability. He will never, ever lie to you to gain your business and then dump you once you are a customer. He stands by each and every vehicle he sells and fixes a lot more that aren't. In fact, we just recently purcha,sed a 2013 Nissan Versa from NSA. Mike knew the 2006 PT Cruiser that we bought from him many, many years ago was on it's last leg. We went to the auction and got us just the right vehicle for our needs. The price was great and the sales/service went very, very smoothly. Thanks to Mike and NSA for being OUR used car dealership though the years and for everything you've done for us in that time. I highly recommend NSA.

College Student

October 2018 My granddaughter needed a car so she could travel back and forth from school to home - one that was reliable and affordable, especially since she would be making payments herself. Since my youngest daughter bought a used car from NSA several years ago and was happy with its performance, we decided to return to the same dealer to see if he could help us find what we needed. When we first went in to talk with Dave, he listened (I mean really listened) to our story. We did not feel rushed nor feel he was trying to push any of the cars he currently had on the lot. Eventually Dave called to say he thought there was a car we might be interested in so we went to look at it. There was no pressure even then to feel we had to buy that car. After test driving the car my granddaughter decided to buy the car especially since it was in her price range. This is the second car my family bought from NSA and we are satisfied with the choices. If you want a used car dealer you can trust, a dealer who partners with you to find a car – then visit Northern State Auto in Elmira.

not a good experience

The 2004 Cavalier that I purchased from this dealer had low miles and seemed to be in very good condition when I test drove it. Soon after I picked up the car, it had problem after problem ranging from bad window motor to electrical issues to rusted floor under the carpet to finally a loose control arm that was ready to fall off! Mike said that he was unaware of any of these problems when he sold it, but I don't understand how a car could have so many issues and the dealer claims that he knew of none of these issues! Sorry to say that I will not be buying any more vehicles from Northern State Auto.

An answer to prayer

It's almost not possible to feel this GREAT about buying a used vehicle but Mike and Marlene made this an experience something we will never forget. From the moment of our first call inquiring about a vehicle right down to the lovely plant they gave us after we purchased the vehicle, you will never find another dealership that will treat you with this level of honesty and excellent customer service. They go far beyond what is required and they will leave you in awe that there are still people today that value good customer relations. Thank you so much for making this daunting experience such a pleasure and may you continue to be blessed for your commitment in providing good quality vehicles at reasonable prices along with all the personal extras you think about to all your future customers.

BEST USED CAR LOT & REPAIR SHOP IN THE AREA

Despite being a very small used car lot and repair shop Northern State Auto has something going for it that 99.9% of auto dealerships whether new or used don't have.....the owner is trustworthy and dependable. Don't let looks fool you!! The other guys might be bigger and fancier but there is no one who will treat you as well as they do here. We have purchased cars and had cars repaired here for over 20+ years. The owner (Mike H.) will not - I repeat will not recommend any repairs on your car that aren't needed. You can absolutely, positively trust him when he tells you something. You've heard the motto 'Our customers are #1'? Well, this is without a doubt the place where the owner and his employees mean it. If you have an issue with a vehicle and want someone to be honest and trustworthy with you - bring it here. I promise you that you will not be lied to or misled. You will not be sorry. They don't have a large selection of used vehicles but we have never been disappointed. You need a car he will do his absolute best to get you one that fits your needs and he stands behind each and every car he sells. Northern State Auto is........#1

A Great Buying Experience

I am very happy to recommend Northern State Auto to anyone who is looking to purchase a used car in the Elmira, NY area. I bought a 2009 PT Cruiser from them last week and I love my new "used" car. I appreciated the fact that there was NO PRESSURE; no gimmicks or games. I feel that I got a very fair price and excellent customer service. Mike and Marlene helped me with all the paperwork. The dealership has been in Elmira for more than 25 years and they have a reputation for their service.. If you are an animal lover, you will love the company mascots: 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are nice people and they treat their customers the way that they would want to be treated. Check out their website at http://northernstateautoinc.com/assistance.html
