Exactly as advertised

As long as you keep in mind the fact that the cars being sold are previously-damaged cars that have been expertly repaired, you will have a pleasant experience with For Less Autohaus. David Shaw (the owner and proprietor) was very up-front about the shortcomings of the vehicle I was looking at, but I have to say that the car exceeded my expectations. Because of the suspiciously low selling price, I was expecting a car with substantial problems and repairs that would be just enough to sell the car on. But it was nearly impossible to detect that there had ever been any damage to the car at all. When I took it to my mechanic, he told me that the car had been thoroughly and professionally repaired. The CarFax was posted on their website (and on Cars.com) that listed the date and place of the accident, along with information about the damage. There were no secrets here. The car itself was a late-model Honda with VERY low mileage, and it was priced at about $2,000 below KBB price. When I visited the dealer, I was a little surprised by how low-key it was. No sales people at all approached me. When I asked about the car, they tossed me the keys and told me to look it over and take it for a drive. I spent about 45 minutes looking over the car with a fine-toothed comb, but the most serious problem I could find was the fact that the gas cap cover wouldn't open with the spring release. (Seriously!) A few minutes later, that was repaired too. You will probably spend a few minutes waiting in the lobby since they really don't have a lot of people to show the cars or answer questions, but that works as an advantage as well, since you get ample time to be sure the car is sound before you decide to buy. After the sale was closed, David worked with me to arrange for a delivery date perhaps a little later than he would have preferred, just to accommodate my unusual work schedule. In all, the purchase could not have gone more smoothly. Would I buy from them again? Definitely. I'm keeping David's business card handy. I have a daughter who'll be needing a car soon, and I'll be checking with For Less Autohaus and David Shaw first.

Great prices/questionable quality.

Super excited about the car. Test drive was great. Price was awesome. Decided to have prepurchase inspection and itbrevealed significant damage which was not completely discussed. Decided not to buy. Prices are great but decided a safe and reliable vehicle was most important. I would highly recommend anyone interested in purchasing to have a prepurchase inspection done.

Highly recommended.

Bought a car recently, completely satisfied. David was very upfront with the car and its previous history. Highly recommend. Reasonable prices, reliable and many options to select from.

About Autohaus

I visited Less Autohaus, it was a good experience, I didn`t agree on the final price of the car I was looking though. I went their when it was about to close, and I only met one guy who work their, he was nice and hospitable. The boss wasn`t their, but came in 10mins, and gave me the car key to test it. so overall everything was good, except for the price, the car was damaged by snow but the price was a little bit expensive.

Poor Customer Service

Unfortunately, David does not have very good customer service. He was on his computer or phone the entire time I was trying to talk to him about a car I was interested in. Rather disappointing after driving 45 minutes to look at the car. I had every intent of buying it right then and there but walked out after I was so rudely treated.

Per Customer's word he/she had driven 45 minute to arrive at For Less Autohaus and was interested about a specific car and had every intend of buying that car. What we don't understand is that how this customer could drive 45 minutes to arrive at dealership but could not spare few minutes to own and drive the car home. But anyway our main concern in For Less Autohaus has always been giving the best customer service under any circumstances and it will be forever. We feel really sorry this client has had such experience. We are doing our best to make sure no other clients will have the same experience at For Less Autohaus at all. Thank You David Shaw Tel-214-366-2662

A great deal--a good car at a low price

I recently bought a 2013 Honda Fit with only 15,000 miles on it from For Less Autohaus. The price was low because the car had had a Rebuilt title due to it having been hit in the rear and totaled. David was completely up front about it. The repairs appear to have been done properly, and we expect the car to serve us well for many years. I appreciated being able to deal directly with the owner of the business, not some salesman who would have to get his manager's permission. I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from For Less Autohaus.

Great Honest Dealer - Will be a repeat customer

David was great! I purchased a 2013 Scion tC. When I put money down, he took the car off the internet while I was still in his office. He honored his price. When I picked up the car, it was clean and ready for me. The car is more than I expected for the price! I will be back when I am ready to purchase another car and I have recommended David to my friends and family.

Great Deal and Great Experience!

Bought a 2012 Honda Fit in great condition with low miles for well below blue book value. David was upfront about the car needing a new water pump (was noisy) which he replaced. When I asked if a mobile mechanic could come inspect the vehicle he said sure and that he recommended all buyers have the cars checked out. Mechanic said David was very professional to him and found some minor issues which David fixed right away. When I came to pick up the car it had been detailed and had new floor mats included. David was very transparent through the whole process, including vehicle history and made every effort to make sure I was happy with the car before purchase. If you want a good deal with no hassles I highly recommend David and For Less Autohaus!

2nd Car Purchase!!! REPEAT Customer!!!

This is my second car purchase from FOR LESS AUTOHAUS. In March 2015, I helped my sister purchase a 2014 Nissan Versa with mileage under 10k. She loves her car and the price was so exceptional, I was able to pay cash with no worries about monthly payments. On Tuesday 09/22/15, I purchased a 2013 Kia Forte for my teen-aged daughter (her 1st car), again the pricing was so exceptional, I paid cash. David has excellent customer service, a clean facility and he is honest and upfront about the vehicle's history. I called David on Monday and told him that I was looking to purchase a vehicle for my daughter and on Tuesday I have a vehicle that my daughter loves. We got the tags and registration 3 days later, Friday 09/25/15!!! David also included an oil change at no additional charge. Thank you David for providing two exceptional vehicles for my family!!! I highly recommend FOR LESS AUTOHAUS for anyone looking to purchase a used car at an exceptional PRICE with low mileage!!!
