I hope you read this before considering a purchase from Joe's auto. Especially if you have bad credit and you feel like this is your best option. It's not. Please consider walking, taking a bus, asking for rides, getting an Uber. Starting a gofundme. Save yourself the heartache and financial ruin that I have been experiencing from August 2018 until now July 28 2020. They lied to be about the check engine light. They lied to me about the warranty. They lied to me about a weird rumbling that was happening under the hood. I was going through divorce, my credit had plummeted, and my vehicle

If your looking for a nice used vehicle stop in and talk to Joe, Adam or one of the other staff member on the floor. Willing to discuss different options with you for the right fit. I will say to you that they do have high risk financing available for people that aren't able to get financing through their own bank or lender. Willing to allow short term payments if your short on finances. From my experience with them this far has been A+. Don't be afraid to test their knowledge and ask questions.
