Car Purchase Agents
I ended up using the Costco car buying service which I found very easy. Went to website, entered the make and model of car I was looking for. Had an email response within a few minutes, and a follow up call from a sales person at Groove Subaru 10 minutes. later. Set up appt for 2 days in the future and got a car that day that I liked in the price range etc I had specified at what seemed like a fair price. Quick, and stress free, as much as spending that amount of money can be. Barbara Ward's husband Jerry also used Costco and had a great experience...I think maybe Carolyn Reid's husband did also.
PS. I tried both Sheila's and Cathy Sparkman's recommendations and they were very helpful. And I think they would have produced results for me, but I was in too big a hurry to wait for them as both were working with other customers and couldn't get to my search immediately.

Go to my wonderful car broker/friend Phil Martin at H.M.Brown. He is amazing--helpful, extremely knowledgeable and neither Cal Cleworth nor Chuck Froelicher would buy a car without him. He prefers to do business on his cell phone which is 303-910-8090. I gave him your name in case you decide to call him and I hope you do.

I highly recommend Mike Persinger at AAA. AAA has a used car garage. Great cars, well guaranteed. We have bought three or four cars from AAA and Mike.

I sold my 13-year-old Toyota Camry and bought a new 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid through an agent named Grant Thomazin at H. M. Brown - 303-414-2374. They've been around for 30+ years and Magi Trousdale and others have recommended them to me. I found them to be honest, easy, and although I may have paid a little more than if I'd done it myself, it was so EASY.

He's personable and easy to work with. main number is 303-247-9300. He's in Louisville. Email is [email protected]. His phone numbers are--work: 303-247-9300. Mobile: 303-919-5560. He's the sales manager for the company. You'd like him.

I do have a car mechanic who is very good. His name is Alan and he has Alan's Automotive, which is out east near Potomac and Alameda, near I-225. He returns me home when I deliver the car for work, and picks me up or delivers the car back to me. His prices are consistently competitive with dealers and tire companies. This is a small family business. He specializes in foreign and antique cars and has kept my 1972 VW convertible in great shape since I've been here. 303-367-4403, www.alansautomotive.com.

They did a fantastic job on a dented door on a full size SUV I had – including pulling out dent, reblending paint where scratches were, and replacing some little hardware on the back of the door. (Backed into mailbox that was just out of sight). When the work was done you couldn’t tell it ever had a dent. Reasonable cost, no hidden costs, delivered on time, honest.
