Greatt Experience

Great Experience

By Bill Spence from Hampstead, NC | August 23, 2019

 

Searched several dealers for a truck and visited Holly Ridge Auto Mart a couple times prior to test driving the vehicle. I was satisfied and scheduled a prepurchase inspection. The truck was as advertised, good mechanical shape, and the sale was quick and easy. Thanks Bill for a pleasant experience

 

Bill,

Thanks for your kind words. We hope you enjoy your truck for many miles to come. It was nice working with you and hope we get the opportunity again. Safe travels!

Most Professional

I had been looking for a vehicle for some time and been to several places and Bill made u feel at home was not a sales vultcher like most places and was very professional. I would recommend if you are looking for a decent used vehicle need not look any further holly ridge auto mart is the place would go there and by the rest of my vehicles in the future.

Second Purchase and STILL VERY SATISFIED!!!

by K. Burch from Hubert NC 28539 | August 6, 2017 We just purchased our second used vehicle from them and we are very happy! As with our first purchase, the transaction was easy, they were very fair and honest! Don't hesitate to purchase from them!

Lexus RX 300

by Alice from Raeford NC | July 21, 2017 I have dealt with many car salespeople in the past but Jody is the most awesome saleslady that I have ever met! My husband and I originally went down to Holly Ridge from our home in Raeford to look at a Subaru to replace the one that I had (that my husband wrecked.) The Subaru just didn't feel right. We ended up deciding to purchase a Lexus RX 300. Jody was very helpful, very professional, very informative, just an all around nice lady. I love my Lexus and I will recommend Holly Ridge Auto Mart to anyone looking for a good car. Thanks Jody, and thanks to Bill too!!

 August 8, 2017 Thank you for your kind words of praise Alice. It was a pleasure meeting you and your husband. I am so glad that we were able to find a vehicle that suited your needs. May you and your puppies enjoy it for many years to come. Jody Luman Sales Consultant

Just AWESOME

I recently bought another vehicle from Holly Ridge Auto Mart and the same service still applies from that of 20 years ago when I bought my first one from them.... One word.... AWESOME... Bill is very friendly and offers a no pressure purchase process. Tell him what you want and if he's got it, great if he don't, he'll tell you rather than waste your time trying to sell you something you don't want. The folks here are honest in what they tell you regarding the vehicles and that is a hard trait to find in a "used car dealership". The slogan reads, "No gimmicks just good prices" There are truly no gimmicks and the prices are reasonable. If he can make it happen for you, he will. The true epitome of Small Town Business as it should be. Friendliness and compassion is in their blood. Why buy used from a corporate dealer who won't remember you when you can buy from a local business that will? Keep up the good work! Nell Griffin Holly Ridge, NC

 

Dear Nell,

We are truly thankful for your repeat business. It is such a joy to be able to serve customers time and time again for their car needs. We appreciate that you trust us with that business. Your kind words mean the world to us. We will keep doing our best to earn your business in the future. Again, THANK YOU!

No Hassle Car Buying

by Jonathan from Wilmington, NC | March 5, 2017

From the moment I inquired about a vehicle at Holly Ridge Auto Mart to when I pulled out of the lot in it, my experience was a good one. Judy followed up my internet inquiry expediently with a call and Bill was willing to negotiate fairly and courteously. I'd recommend this dealership to those looking for a quality used car without the hassle!

Great Experience buying f150

Bought a f150 that was fairly priced and the experience was easy with no pressure. I will certainly be returning to work with Bill on my next vehicle

My experience

I bought a truck here and the staff was very nice and friendly. They were really helpful and kept in contact with the process. My vehicle did not come with a warranty and with in an hour of having it, something went wrong with the window, and I called Bill and he said that he would fix it. The part came in about a week later and he put it in even when it was raining. I would recommend this dealership first to someone that needed a deal. (the drive was rough, but worth it)

Dear SB,
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your business. Sometimes things come up that neither one of us can predict. We do our best to make sure our customers have a good buying and ownership experience. Hope that window doesn't give you any more fits. Please consider us when it's time to purchase another car. Thanks again!

Great Customer Service

C Warren  My husband and I went to Holly Ridge Auto mart to look at a cargo van.The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. They allowed him to test drive and check out the van for as long he needed to feel comfortable with the vehicle. There was no pressure to buy. When we decided to proceed, the process was quick and easy. Dear C Warren, Thank you for trusting us with your business. We hope that you enjoy your van for many miles to come. It is a pleasure working with you and your family each time we get the opportunity. Please let us know when it's time for another car, truck or van for your family. Thanks again!

After buying a car there I found out it had been wrecked. I fill I should have been told before I bought it he claimed he did not know def will not buy another one there??


Dear Local,
Thank you for leaving feedback for us. We do our best to find out as much information as we can about our vehicles prior to offering them for sale. We offer complimentary Autocheck Reports, if customers request them for every vehicle. We offer 90 day/4500 mile limited warranties with most every vehicle. And we want our customers to be well-informed about their purchase. Evidently, this is one that slipped through the cracks and we apologize for that. There was no intent to mislead or purposely misinform you. We hope that you WILL give us an opportunity to earn your business again in the future.

Visited Holly Ridge Auto Mart after looking at what they had online. Needed a used car. Since they were close by, I dropped by and checked out a few vehicles. Before the sun came up twice I was in a great used car. No hassles. No pressure. I got the type of vehicle I wanted at a fair price. Before you go anywhere else, give them a try.

by Tony in Jacksonville from Jacksonville, NC | July 29, 2016
I went to look for a Honda and after driving the one I went to see I wasn't satisfied. Bill steered me to a comparable Acura which was everything I was looking for. He made the process simple. He gave me his best price off the top and it compared to what the Honda would have been. He got it financed in a matter of a couple of hours. I couldn't have been more pleased with the process. The car also ended up having an evap issue which he had his mechanic repair. I would recommend them and wouldn't hesitate doing business with them again.

Good Experience

by Richrob from Sneads Ferry, NC | July 12, 2016
Moved from CT and needed a car. Decided to check out Holly Ridge Auto. Angela helped try to fit into several models. I liked their used Mercury Mountaineer. The price was good. The staff is friendly and pleasant. Anyone looking for a replacement vehicle should visit their lot before going anywhere else.

I drove 2 hours and bought a 1993 Cadillac from this dealer back in 2004. I still have the car and have done little to it except had it repainted, new fuel pump and brakes. Bill was wonderful to work with and it was a pleasure doing business there. Keep up the good work, Bill. Would recommend to anyone!!

It's always a relief

It's always a relief when someone with obvious exeritpse answers. Thanks!

I was greeted by Bill Long.Told him what I was looking for and what my down payment could be and where I needed the car payment. This was on a Friday. On Monday he called and said he had gotten me approved. I was shocked but very happy. If he says he can, he CAN. The whole process was pleasant.Never had that experience before.I am very pleased with my Toyota Sienna. Thanks Bill.

Dear Barb,
We appreciate you trusting us with your business. We work daily with some great lenders to arrange financing and get great terms for our customers. We don't lead customers on, just to come out disappointed. If we think we can find a way to get things done and get you in a car, we are going to give it our best shot. We hope you enjoy your Sienna for many miles to come. Thanks again!

nice used car lot

I came here looking for a car, and even though I was not able to get a vehicle that matched all my needs I would definitely recommend someone to this place. Customer service was outstanding and the vehicles were in great shape, also the prices were very fair and I didn't feel scammed, or like the sales manager was trying to push me into something. Great car lot!

Best First Experience

By Nikki from Myrtle Beach / May 1, 2016

We started out from Myrtle Beach at 6:30 a.m in search of a vehicle for myself. We stopped everywhere along the way until we drove up on Holly Ridge Auto Mart. I immediately felt a sense of ease and comfort when we pulled in. When we got out to look, our interest was in a white Volvo xc90. For some reason though, I was drawn a gold Volvo xc90. It was so sleek and VERY clean on the inside. A few minor cosmetic issues (from the previous owner, but it grew on me over the hour or two that we spent dealing with Bill. He was so professional and understanding. He was NOT pushy at all and gave us our time to talk and discuss our opinions and options. Angie was great too. She was taking pictures of it to post online that day, and she so kindly drove it over to us to check out and test drive! Bill gave us a killer deal on it also!We had a Great experience with Bill and his staff! I will definitely recommend them to everyone! All future purchases for us,will go through Holly Ridge Auto Mart!

Dear Best,
Thank you for your glowing comments. we are glad we could earn your business. Please let us know when it's time for another. 

BACK AGAIN

By Chris M on May 24, 2016
I bought my 16 year old son a vehicle from Holly Ridge Auto Mart just a few months ago and never dreamed I would be back so soon. After only 39 days we found ourselves in need again when his car was totaled in an accident by no fault of his own. Bill Long had taken such great care of us the first time so I didn't even bother looking at local used car dealers or scanning online advertisements. I simply called Bill and said, "I need your help again." He knew our likes/dislikes, and our needs/wants from the original sale so I didn't even have to spend time doing research. Because I was 4 hours away, Bill would simply communicate by phone, email, or text when he or Johnny Mitchum thought they had something we should consider. What used car dealer does that ? It's hard enough to get that kind of service from a new car dealership when you are willing to drop $20-30,000 for a new vehicle. After numerous conversations, etc., we settled on another vehicle with Holly Ridge. My son is ecstatic with his "newest" vehicle and I am too. Holly Ridge Auto Mart truly goes the extra mile(or in my case 230 miles)to not only earn your business but keep your business. I will be back again but hopefully not in 39 days. Best Regards, Chris M

Dear Chris M,
While we were upset to hear that your son was involved in an accident that totaled his very first car, we were glad to know that everyone was ok. We can replace the metal, we can't replace the loved ones! We are also very thankful that you trust us enough to allow us to earn your business all over again. We hope that this "new" one gives your son many miles of good service. And when it's time for another (daughter to get her first wheels), we hope we are at the top of the list of calls you make for that search. Again, many thanks!

Good People


By Arthur from Sneads Ferry | March 14, 2016

Very low pressure sales environment, which I liked. I went there with a specific vehicle in mind, they didn't try to sell me on something else. Left me be to inspect the vehicle and test drive it without hovering over my shoulder. I was looking at a 2003 Toyota 4Runner. The vehicle was is great condition besides needing a few minor mechanical repairs. The salesmen was willing to negotiate on the price with an agreed upon estimate of cost for the repairs I noted. I would definitely recommend this dealership. I would just note that you should know a little about cars or have someone who does go with you. I only say that because they did not have an onsite mechanic to discuss issues with the vehicle or what has been done to it. Overall a very good buying experience!

Thank you, Arthur, for your feedback. We do our best to make your purchase experience an easy one. Hope to see you again, when it's time for another vehicle. Thanks again!

If you're looking to purchase a like-new used vehicle, here's the place to come. I came to look for a pickup truck and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The family-owned dealership has a variety of vehicles and had numerous trucks to choose from their inventory. I found a truck that was within my price range and had all the features that I was needing in a truck. I was pleased with the condition of the vehicle and the application and approval process was speedy. When I came to sign my paperwork, the forms were explained and my questions were answered cordially. Mr. Long even took the time to show me how to hook up the lights to the tow hitch. I have since driven the vehicle several places without any mechanical issues. I'll be going to Holly Ridge Auto Mart for any future used vehicle purchases.

Beyond My Expectations


I recently purchased a 2007 Mazda CX-7 from Holly Ridge Auto Mart for my 16 year old son, Cameron. I had looked for months on all the automobile used car websites as well as spent countless Saturdays up and down the road looking at Craigslist opportunities. Needless to say, I had reached my breaking point. Although Holly Ridge was several hours away from me, I quickly realized from trading both phone calls and emails that Bill Long knew his stuff. At no time during this process did I find Bill to be the typical pushy, high-pressured salesman that so many others are. I found Bill to be an expert in his craft and must say this was the most pleasurable car-buying experience I have ever had. I won't shop anyplace else the next time I am in need of a vehicle. My son loves his car and I must admit I actually found it to be nicer than what Bill even represented it to be. Thank you again, Bill Chris M.
Thank you for your kind words, Chris. We work hard every day to help guide our customers to a good decision on a vehicle that fits their needs, budget and lifestyle. We hope your son gets many good miles and good memories out of his Mazda. Please let us know when it's time for another vehicle for you or for a member of your family or friends. We will do our best to earn your business all over again!

New Truck

by Tammy from Jacksonville, NC | February 15, 2016
The whole crew was fantastic. Great prices, no haggling and they let us be to discuss things. One of the things I hate most about car buying is dealing with the sales folk. I know they have a job to do, but I don't want to feel pressured into buying something. We came and saw my beautiful new Mercury Mountaineer and left to think about it over the weekend and there was no pressure from anyone to buy. They were very accommodating and easy to get along with. Ray and Bill did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!!

Dear Tammy,
Thank you for your review, Tammy. We really appreciate your business. We hope that your "new" Mountaineer gives you many miles of great service. Please keep us in mind when it's time for an upgrade or when a friend or family member needs a vehicle.

Best car buying experience to date!


By Yeagaru from Wilmington, NC | February 1, 2016

I recently purchased a used Subaru from Ray and Bill at Holly Ridge Auto Mart. I must say that the experience was the best I've had at any dealership to date. Both gentlemen were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, low-pressure salesmen that are obviously concerned with the customers' happiness and confidence in buying. They were flexible with my busy schedule, and helpful at every step of the buying process. The negotiation process was painless as their pricing was quite fair to begin with, and I got a great value for my trade. I will tell everyone that I know about my wonderful experience with Holly Ridge Auto Mart, and will definitely return for a replacement for my wife's car if they have what we are looking for. Thanks to Ray and Bill for making me a very happy customer! Keep up the good work!

Dear Yeagaru,
Many thanks for your business and for your kind words. We appreciate both! We hope your Subaru gives you many miles of great service. Please let us know when it's time for another vehicle. If we don't have it in stock, we may be able to locate it for you. Thanks again!

Stranded in NC!

by Don and Julie Strand from Nashville, TN | October 19, 2015
Our van died while on a family vacation to the Southport area!! We were stranded and needed to buy a van that day! We had a recommendation to Holly Ridge so that's where we went! They had 3 vans to choose from, each one just a little better than the last! We ended up with a beautiful Toyota Sienna! They worked with us patiently as we figured out the financing (remember we were on vacation, not out shopping for a new vehicle!) we are very happy with our van, the service and overall experience of buying from Holly Ridge! Oh I forgot to mention the van we got was the color I always wanted! That's a God thing!! Thank you and God bless

Don and Julie,
We really appreciate you trusting us with your business. Glad to hear that your van is doing well. Please stop by and say hello when you get back down for vacation again. Thanks again!

An excellent example that you need not go to the large car lots in order to get a great deal and be treated with professionalism and respect. In fact, we had a much better overall experience without the standard salesman pressure, doubletalk, and that creepy feeling that someone you just met is trying to be your best friend. Holly Ridge Auto Mart is worth your time if you're looking for a quality used vehicle with a hassle free buying experience.

Holly Ridge Auto Mart=Great Experience!

by Corinne from Jacksonville, NC | May 28, 2015
After having the same car for almost 10 years (my first car in high school that I received at 16) I was reluctant and nervous to be purchasing a car on my own for the first time. I did a lot of research online trying to see what I would be interested in and stumbled across a beautiful Ford Mustang on the Holly Ridge Auto Mart lot. I decided I wanted this place to be my first go around with finally going car shopping on my own for myself. So with a pre-approval in hand from my bank I went down on a Saturday to test drive and take a look at the Ford Mustang in person. Bill greeted my friend Willie and I with warmth and enthusiasm while not being at all pushy or coming off as phony like car sales men I've seen other friends and family work with at different dealerships. After testing it out I decided why look anywhere else when you've found exactly what you wanted so it ending up being my first and last stop on my search for a car. If you see something you like on their lot go check it out! I promise you won't be disappointed in the customer service or the speed and ease of the paperwork process of actually getting the vehicle. Love this place would definitely go back and recommend anyone looking to go there.

fantastic service, wonderful staff!

By far the best place I have been, reasonable price vehicles, excellent staff. I had trouble finding a car and seen many pushy salesmen for weeks, came to Bill he got me in the car I wanted and was patient, he did not push anything on us and explained things very well. Bill was awesome,I had a fantastic experience with holly ridge auto! I got my car about two and half weeks ago and have been so happy!!! If we get another car it will be from them! Keep up the great work!

Wish I had gone here 6 months ago

by Jolanda (PETE) Dowell from Jacksonville, NC | March 21, 2015
Here's a little back story. About 6 months ago a bought my daughter her first car (2001 VW New Beetle) from a guy off Craigslist. I did a ton a work to the car and made it into my daughters dream car. What I didn't know was the guy I bought the car from had rigged the transmission to run good enough to sell. The repairs to the Beetle's transmission were way to high to pay so I set out to purchase another used car. While searching the web I ran across a reasonably priced 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6 that came with a 90 day warranty. After having been taken by some looser the fact that a nice priced used car was Certified and came with a 90 day warranty gave me all types of warm and fuzzys. I had looked at similar cars at the large local dealerships only to find no warranty and high prices for certified cars. The dealers at the large car lots were less than interested in what I was looking for and were always trying to up-sale me. When I made my way to Bill at Holy Ridge Automart Bill never bugged me and he stayed out of my way while I checked the car over and answered every question I had. Bill gave me a reasonable trad in value for our bad transmission Beetle and took care of the financing easily and quickly. I have a 15 year old daughter that will need a car next year and I plan on going to see Bill. No joke people Holly Ridge Automart is a diamond in the rough. Small but mighty give Holly Ridge Automart a chance. Pete Dowell (Happy Customer)

Great Service. Good to work with

I have purchased 3 trucks/suv's from Bill He was helpful and when we picked out the ride on late Saturday he held the Jeep for a week while I was working out of town without any money down. He worked with my Son to get his financing and away he went with his Jeep. Thanks alot. I have never had any issues with Bill and his cars.

Wonderful to do business with


By GregC of Sneads Ferry from Sneads Ferry, NC | January 13, 2015

I have now purchased 2 vehicles from Bill at Holly Ridge Auto Mart. I have found Bill to be very fair and honest about the automobiles on his lot. At no time did he ever try to "upsell" me and he was helpful about finding the right car for my son, while staying within my budget. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A NEGATIVE BUT A POSITIVE --- we purchased a very good car for my son "as is" and a day later the "service engine" light came on. (No one ever knows when these things will come on) I phoned Bill and he told us to bring the car in. It turned out to be absolutely nothing but his attitude was to give us great service and NOT use the line "sorry but it was purchased as is." Had there been a problem, he would have taken care of it. To me, that is fantastic customer service. The buying process is easy as well. It wasn't long ago that my wife and I purchased a new car at a large lot in Jacksonville (Bill doesn't sell new cars) and we were there for hours to complete the purchase
. At Holly Ridge Auto Mart, once we selected the casr we wanted, the paperwork took no time and we were complete and driving away quickly. In addition, the selection is great and the cars are affordable. I highly recommend Holy Ridge Auto Mart and I will buy there again.

Fast and Efficient

I had been without a vehicle for 3 weeks and was desperate to find something in good condition in my price range. I searched many car dealerships for weeks and I finally found Holly Ridge Auto Mart and a vehicle that matched what I needed. I had to rely on a family member for a ride and with 2 small children, I didnt have a lot of free time. Bill had me driving off the lot within an hour in my new vehicle on a Friday evening.

Five Stars is Not Enough

By Hard to Please from Cedar Point, NC - December 4, 2014

I knew what I wanted and was prepared for a long search on the Internet to find it. On my first query I clicked on a link to cars.com which led me to Holly Ridge Auto Mart. There was one car that met my exact criteria but two others that looked interesting. I sent an email through cars.com and made an after hours telephone call to the dealer's number and left a message. I received a reply from both the next morning. Fortunately the dealership was only 45 minutes from my home and on my way for a weekend trip. I stopped by the lot the next morning and drove off the lot in less than an hour with much more car than I expected at an exceptionally good price. Bill even let me leave my truck at the lot until I returned from my trip. Not only that, but he picked me up on his way to work at my house to get my truck. I've driven the car (a 2000 Ford Edie Bauer) hard for over a thousand miles in three weeks and it has not missed a lick. I will never buy from anyone else!

Great Service

by Randy and Tammy  from Holly Ridge, NC 28445 | November 26, 2014
This is the second time we have purchased a vehicle from Bill at Holly Ridge Auto Mart and he is superior. We can be indecisive and he was very patient with us. He was very understanding and helped to guide us in the vehicle that suited our needs.

Smooth & Easy Buying Experience

by Steve from Morehead City, NC | September 12, 2014
Bill made our new purchase so easy and painless. We purchased our van from out of town because Holly Ridge Auto Mart offered the best vehicle for the best price we could find anywhere. Bill was professional in every aspect of the deal. He simplified the paperwork and I don't believe the entire process was more than 15 minutes. We appreciate the level of courtesy and professionalism Bill afforded us and when we need another vehicle, we will surely consider Holly Ridge Auto Mart.

2nd Vehicle from Holly Ridge Auto Mart

by Y. Sanchez from Sneads Ferry, NC | September 5, 2014
Bill was very helpful and made the car-buying experience a "breeze". No sales pressure. This is the second vehicle I have bought from him. My brother-in-law also purchased a vehicle from him just a couple months ago. This time I got a Ford Escape for my daughter... very clean and well priced. Thanks Bill, I'll be recommending your business to my family and friends.

Awesome People, Awesome Place

by Nelliegray from Holly Ridge NC | June 25, 2014
I have purchased most every car I have owned from Bill at Holly Ridge Auto Mart. It is completely satisfying to have a hometown dealership that down to earth, no pressure and VERY easy to work with. Bill and Johnny are great guys and you can trust their word, morals, values and ethics and those are hard traits to come by these days. Love my New to Me Honda CR-V.

by Barbara from Holly Ridge NC | June 10, 2014
Had a wonderful experience. Bill was great. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle that I was looking for. I had looked for several months and spoken to several salesmen, which became annoying. So if you want a stress free experience, I suggest Holly Ridge Auto Mart. I know I will return if an when I need another car. Thanks Bill you were an enjoyment to work with. And thanks for getting me in my Toyota Sienna. I luv IT!!!

Great cars, great customer service, great deals!

by Zack from Wilmington NC | March 10, 2014
I just got a car this weekend and can say it was a great experience overall. They offer great cars in amazing condition for low prices! They are very hospitable and more than willing to help you on all levels. I walked out with a great car and a smile on my face. They even go as far to help you setting up your insurance and mail you your new license tag meaning no DMV hassles!

First Time Buyer

by Josh from Holly Ridge, North Carolina | January 23, 2014
I purchased my first car from here. The lot had great cars for a limited budget. The dealer was very helpful and answered any questions we had. In addition to this, he was very easygoing, making the buying experience very enjoyable. I will definitely consider purchasing from them again in the future.

Refreshing Experience

by Mother of five "licensed" children :) from Hampstead | December 20, 2013
After many, many months of searching for a car for my son, I was skeptical of each and every used car dealer. I had experienced more deceptive and unethical sales practices than I could tolerate. When we found the type of car we had been searching for, at a price we could afford on Cars.com, I held out little hope it would actually be as advertised. When we arrived at Holly Ridge Auto Mart, I was surprised the car was still "available," in the condition it was advertised, the same price as advertised without huge "document fees" added at the 11th hour, and we were met by an HONEST AND HELPFUL sales representative. (Bill) We were allowed to take the car to our mechanic for review without any hesitation. My son purchased the vehicle. The paperwork was easy and painless and without any surprise fees. The promised parts were ordered and installed timely. My son couldn't be happier with the car, the price and the respect with which he was treated. My family will be using Holly Ridge Auto Mart for all future used car purchases. Bill has restored my faith that it is possible to be treated fairly and honestly in the used car business.

Love my Car

by Emtgirl from Sneads Ferry, North Carolina | September 25, 2013
Bill was extremely helpful and very patient with me, in searching for a quality car. Definitely would recommend them to everyone

Great Experience

by Matt from NC | July 25, 2013
Great car buying experience! Bill Long was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. The dealership had exactly what I was looking for and gave me a great deal. I would recommend to any one looking for a good deal, fast friendly service and an overall great experience. I've spent hours at other dealerships dealing with paper work and other things, but Bill had me in and out of there in no time and I couldn't possibly be any happier with the new car sitting in my driveway. I will definitely be paying Holly Ridge Auto Mart a visit the next time I'm in the market. Thanks again!

Best Experience in a car dealership

by tim and susan from Nakina, NC | July 22, 2013
we drove 1:45 minutes to purchase a car, we found on the internet. Bill Long was very upfront with everything and didn't mind any answering any questions we had. My son was so excited to see the Mustang sitting in the yard when he got home. i would definitely recommend Holly Ridge Auto to all my family and friends. Well worth the drive. Thanks again Bill.

No Hassle.

by Rich and Sabrina from Hampstead , NC | July 3, 2013
No hassle and straight to the point. Very professional, not your usual used car buying process.

Pickup Buyer

by Pickup  from Holly Ridge, NC | May 10, 2013
If you're looking for the best place to buy a used vehicle, Holly Ridge Auto Mart is the place to go. I was looking for a pickup truck and they had a great selection of trucks to pick from and within my price range. I got a great trade-in value on the vehicle that I traded in and was pleased with the condition of the vehicle that I chose to purchase. The dealer was very knowledgeable about the truck I chose and even took the time to show me how to work the hitch lights. The application process was simple, speedy and hassle-free. I have since driven the vehicle in and out of town and have been extremely satisfied with its mechanics. Holly Ridge Auto Mart is a cut above the rest.

Best Service

by Buyer from Jacksonville | April 27, 2013

The dealer was very up front, kind, and easy to work with. He didn't try to shove anything down my throat, which was interesting as most dealers will try. He was very knowledgeable on the specific model that I was interested in, as well as knowledgeable about the car I was willing to trade in. Over all the experience was much better than expected, and I'd highly recommend this dealer to my friends.

I had a wonderful experience when purchasing my Toyota Highlander from Holly Ridge. From start to finish it was a very comfortable process. Bill Long was an excellent salesman who I felt very at ease with. I could not be more happy with my purchase!! I was sent to this dealership by a friend who was also very happy with the service she received at Holly Ridge when purchasing her car and I would send my friends & family here also!

Thank you, Bill

My family and I have been coming to Holly Ridge for years now every time we need a vehicle. Bill offers awesome customer service and I always know I am going to get my money's worth. I would recommend anyone to visit Holly Ridge Auto Mart. I am sure we will be going back soon for our next car.

We recently bought a Volvo XC90 and A Mercedes C240 at the same time from Holly Ridge. IT was a pleasant transaction and a smooth one. My husband and I both spent many years in the car business and hate the buying process but Everyone at Holly Ridge made it a good experience. There are some minor things that need to be done to the Mercedes but they are taking care of it. Thanks again, from both of us, they will be great cars for years to come!

Bought a vehicle from Holly Ridge Auto Mart. Bill Long was my salesman. Honest and knowledgeable man. Good value for my vehicle. I felt no rush, no pressure to buy. I will definitely be a repeat customer. No hassle paperwork either. I was on the road with my new vehicle in 30 minutes.
