AutoFair vs AutoServ

bigdog · 05-27-2015, 04:20 PM

Looking at purchasing a used vehicle.

I see 2 dealers around the lake AutoFair and AutoServ....
Are these the same people ?

Good, bad, or RUN !

Thanks,
Bigdog

I'm not familiar with autofair, but I've been to autoserv tilton, and I will never go back.

Sales person I spoke to was a jerk, and so was the finance manager. even after I told them I wanted to test drive a couple options before making a decision and immediately tried selling me on things I told them I was NOT interested in. It is the only dealership I have been to where they wanted me to talk to the finance manager before I even settled on a vehicle.

I walked out, and went to Irwin Motors in Laconia. Irwins was awesome, no pressure, they listened and worked with me. Took few a different test drives over a couple weeks before I found what I needed. The sales guy was great, and called me as he got new vehicles in that he wanted me to test drive. It was the exact opposite of Autoserv

this was about 3 years ago.

I agree with Tundra, I would not recommend Autoserv to anyone for any reason. Irwins, on the other hand, was a pleasure to deal with, We have bought from them 3 different times.

I also like Irwin in Laconia. They are very customer friendly and treat you kindly.

The service center at Irwin was also very easy to deal with.

I once stopped by AutoServ in Tilton for warranty work on a radiator and the atmosphere was unprofessional and employees were rude. Very "big city" attitudes in a small town.

on main Street in Laconia and Skip King in Gilford across from Hannaford's.

They pick top used cars on their travels around New England and stand behind them. It is worth it to check out their inventory on line.

If you are looking for a specific vehicle, leave them a note, they will find one for you and deliver to their site.

Irwin, The Auto Zone, for sure.

Bladecki Auto in Belmont usually has a pretty decent selection of vehicles on his lot and his prices are a little more reasonable than some of the other used car dealerships in the area.
