Express Auto
We opened our first store in Kalamazoo, Michigan in almost two decades ago. Since then we've put over 10,000 drivers on the road and back on the road to good credit. As southwest Michigan's premiere buy here pay here dealer, we offer good, reliable transportation to people with no credit or damaged credit. Even people with bankruptcy and foreclosures are treated with respect at Express Auto. Through the support of our customers, we've gone from that one store in Kalamazoo to six stores across southwest Michigan. Over 50% of our business coming from repeats and referrals, and we think that speaks volumes about how we treat our customers, and the work environment we provide for our Program Advisors. Express Auto was built on the fundamental principle of service We respect our customers, and treat each other as professionals.
