Couldn't ask for a better experience. Told them what I wanted and my price range and Dan found the perfect car for me. Great pricing (less than I expected to pay), great service, great to work with.

Recommended by a local, not sure why. Prices are higher than average and the number of repairs I've had on this car are ABSURD...I've spent nearly half the value of the car in LESS than two years fixing brakes, rotors, the engine, the windshield that was cracked when it was sold to us.Carefully waxed cars on display that have carefully assessed and timed maintenence issues that will become your financial emergency. Have the car inspected carefully and for EACH item he hopes becomes YOUR problem, chip away at his price...his prices are a good 10k over what anyone else charges for...superficially SHINY cars. Don't compromise, these guys already have.From out of town? Just don't.

Dan did an amazing job! He had a very rare car that I was searching for. I came 600 miles to buy this car! Very honest and super transparent. Fair pricing, and a 90 day warranty? They even picked me up at the airport. Customer experience A++++ couldnt be happier with Backuus Auto Sales.

I have purchased my two prior vehicles here. John is one of the most transparent and kindhearted salesmen I know. This dealership and it's owner John go above and beyond what is expected to craft an experience that will leave you feeling relieved. The past two vehicles functioned wonderfully and far beyond the time I expected them to operate.

Amazing customer service. I purchased a vehicle from them & after about a week I noticed some water was leaking through a couple seals. I called them up asking if they knew anything about it so they could point me in the right direction & without hesitation they offered for me to bring it to their mechanic to have it fixed with no cost to me. When you re looking for a reliable used car, there s not a better place to go. Great people.

John Backhuus keeps his word and makes sure his customers are 100% satisfied. That is hard to find these days especially in the used car industry. I have purchased a few vehicles from him and they have all been great. I 100% reccomend buying a vehicle from him.

These guys are more than car salesmanThey are the true definition of what good people are supposed to be. I had a preset judgment help of what my experience would be like in Howell Michigan let me be the first to say I was completely wrong the people there has changed the way I view a lot of people and situations. Because of the gentlemen at Backhuus auto sales. I will not adopt the thoughts of others nore make them my own. I fully recommend going to Backhuus auto sales. For your car buying needs. Thanks John

Let our reputation be your protection is their motto. I bought an Infiniti from them that apparently was from Canada but I didn t know as he didn t even show me the carfax. Under further inspection at home I realized the speedometer cluster had been tampered with by a company called US Speedo out of flint. They re the company that converted the miles from KILOMETERS- MILES. This company left a screw off the cluster and is currently being held up with just one screw. When getting the loan from my credit union, they asked why the car was priced so low, I didn t know why as it was a clean title without any accidents apparently. I asked Dan why the price was low and he didn t mention that it was cause the car is from Canada. I figured I m getting a good deal right? ( no, never expect that from a car dealership)

I bought a truck in march from them i specifically asked if this truck was serviced and went through safety inspection and if there was anything they knew about. I happen to take it to the same mechanic they take there cars too after i bought it they said "we know whats wrong with the truck" before even looking at it. and have a laundry list of stuff they choose not to fix as well as tires they promised to have for me and did not get. 1300$ for leaking trans lines a bad gas leak. And this was a 25k truck all said and done. Do not waste your time here. Go to a big dealer like bob maxey.

Purchased another car from John this morning. What an easy, pleasant experience. Plus he works with the best mechanics around at Roy's Autoworks. The best part is supporting a local small business.

Dan was easy to negotiate with and was very honest about the truck condition. Everything was as advertised. I drove 3 hours to buy a vehicle from them and would do so again.

I have purchased about a dozen vehicles over the years from John and I have never been disappointed! He stands behind everyone of the cars he sells. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a car, contact him first.

No pressure from the salespeople. Small used car lot, but seemed to have a nice selection of vehicles in good shape. Entire process was and hour and a half, but at least an hour of that was me test driving and looking over the vehicle.
