Regardless of your credit history, no matter whether you have GOOD, BAD or NO CREDIT at all, you can receive GUARANTEED APPROVAL!
If you have GOOD CREDIT, our application and approval process is easy, and our lenders offer competitive rates. We know you have a multitude of dealerships vying for your business. We invite you to look at our reviews and see what sets us apart from other used dealerships. We are a Carfax Advantage Dealer and a multi-year CarGurus Top Rated Dealer. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that we are a NO PRESSURE, NO HASSLE, REPUTABLE dealership that offers you:
Free Carfax History Report on all inventory
Free 3-month/3,000-mile certified warranty on most vehicles
Complimentary 2-year Maintenance Package on all vehicles

If you have BAD CREDIT, you can be assured knowing that we work with a variety of reputable lenders that offer options for every type of credit situation. If you have less than perfect credit, you do not have to result to a buy here-pay here lot where you pay exorbitant interest on significantly overpriced vehicles that continue to make your financial stability worse. Credit ratings matter! Having a bad credit rating may result in you paying higher interest rates on automobile loans, personal loans, mortgages, credit cards, and insurance. Let us help you with your next vehicle purchase and set you up with a lender that can assist you in rebuilding your credit by reporting to major credit bureaus.
Just starting out and have NO CREDIT? That’s fine, too. Building a good credit history is a process and everyone must start that journey somewhere. If a used vehicle purchase is where you are beginning, let us help you get started on the right path with our First Time Buyers Program. Ask for details.
We look forward to the opportunity to assist you and build a lasting relationship of integrity and trust that goes beyond the sale. It’s the reason we have so many repeat customers.

India Brown
I just purchased a SUV form Eric Johnson Auto Sales and I am very pleased. I inquired about the SUV on Friday night, immediately received a response and Saturday afternoon I had my keys in my hand. Eric is a great person to work with and the service is quick and friendly. Eric has a great selection of nice and dependable cars. I would definitely recommend this dealership to everyone looking to purchase. I love my new SUV! I look forward to purchasing with Eric Johnson again.

I just bought a nice 2013 Ford Escape two weeks ago, I had a lot of questions about the financing and the mechanical part of the car and he answered all my questions, I felt pretty comfortable getting a car from this dealership because they also advise me about protection and how to take care of it, he also helped me to find the right credit union to start my credit with a great rate. This would be the beginning of my credit record, I’m so glad I’m doing it with a nice car and nice people. Thank you so much!
Kevin Mann
I just bought a 2009 Volvo S80 from Eric and it was a very pleasant experience. He has great cars and good pricing. We knew what we were looking for and literally just went there and bought it. No hassles and a very professional small town experience. Thank you Eric and Carlos!

Pulled into the parking lot and scoped out the inventory, didn't get salesman walking up to my window looking like an excited puppy. Saw a CRV with some appeal and walked into Eric's office. He tossed me the keys and said take it for a spin. With comparative CRV pricing in the area I walked away feeling like I got a great deal. Highly recommend doing good business with Eric if you want to skip the car salesman gimmicks and walk away feeling happy.

I eyeballed my Navigator for 2 days before calling Eric. Called this morning at 10am and drove it home by 7. Great referrence for a loan. This man made things happen with very little work on my end. I couldn't ask for an easier process, better price, better salesman in general and I ending up with a beautiful Navigator!

If you value your time and gas don't come here. Eric seemed like a nice stand up guy at first glance but he wasted my time by selling my dream xterra out from under me. I was told once I proved I had successfully gotten a loan the car would be held for me until the weekend when I could come pick it up. I was 15 minutes away from the bank going to pick up the check when he texted saying he had sold it to someone else that morning. My current car was already listed for sale so now I have a loan for a car that I cannot buy and a car others are already interested in. Don't let him waste your time like he did me.

An honest car dealership that strives to help the customer find what their looking for. Eric sold me a really nice Ford F150 Super Cab 4x4 and I absolutely love it. If you want a really nice vehicle but don't want a car payment more than most folks house payments give Eric a call. I found out about his dealership by word of mouth from Friend at work and I so glad I did.

Eric Johnson offers cars that are high quality and practically new, at reasonable prices. He is very engaged in helping you find the car you need, and was even willing to work out a time to meet with me due to my busy work schedule. I have not had a single problem out of the vehicle I chose from his lot and I'm really glad that I went to him to buy my first car. I have recommended him to all of my friends and co-workers.

Contacted Eric about a dodge charger that I was looking at. I felt Eric was extremely transparent in offering information about the car. I received the CarFax and was able to have the car held with no issue. Able to test drive, and saw no issues with the vehicle. Actually had a blown fuse, which was replaced with no problem, and threw in a detailing on the spot.
