The Auto Stop

I had a perfect experience buying my truck from The Auto Stop. I filled out a request on AutoTrader to get contacted, even after their business hours. To my surprise, Barry (the owner) called me within 5 minutes. He continued to be responsive and helpful throughout the process. Tag and titling was super smooth.

Before I knew that this dealership was trustworthy and honest, I was nervous because I put a deposit on my truck sight unseen (I was a few hours away), just relying on the photos of the truck from the website. Barry sent me dozens of high quality photos of the smallest imperfections on the truck (as I requested), so that I had a realistic idea of the trucks condition. When I arrived, the truck was EXACTLY as described; which far exceeded my expectations. Many other dealers will overstate the condition of the vehicle, and you end up going to visit cars described as "like new" but in reality are far from. With Barry and the Auto Stop, he exactly described and showed me the condition, so that I had total confidence in my decision. Even living hours away, I felt comfortable in my purchase because of Barry's responsiveness and willingness to help. The truck drove perfectly too.

As a professional detailer of 7 years, I was incredibly picky about my truck choice and could not be happier with the service of this dealership, the condition of the truck, and the friendliness of Barry. He is truly a pleasant person to deal with. Save yourself the headache of a big auto mall, where they try to tack on thousands of dollars of fees to the list price. Thanks again, Barry and The Auto Stop!

We drove up from Akron/Springfield. We were supposed to be there the day after but we were in the neighborhood, so I called Barry and he was bringing a car to the lot. He met us and even though he was very busy picking up more cars that day he took all the time we needed to check out the car, and we purchased it. He and his son were extremely good to work with on our deal. We are very happy with our purchase. Great people. Great dealer. God bless!

No pressure, flexible in working with you. They made buying a used car so quick and easy. Very friendly and personable. I got a great car and a good price and a great experience. Thank you!!

Highly recommend the auto stop!! From the moment we first met Barry to look at a truck on his lot he treated us like family! Best customer service! He was so patient with us and never rushed us! He takes pride in what he sells and it shows!

What a great team father and son. Easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had and a real stand up place. You won’t have to go back to complain about anything they sell. Will definitely use from now on for all of our vehicle purchases. Thank you.

Found a great vehicle at a very reasonable price at the Auto Stop. Barry and Rick were absolutely great to deal with, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a pre-owned vehicle. It was well worth the drive from Erie, Pa.

My wife and I were looking around for a Ram Promaster City for her work and spotted one on marketplace @ The Auto Stop in Painesville Ohio. Inquired about the carfax and received it that night from one of the owners Rick. Based on the carfax we thought this vehicle is looking great so we traveled the 71 miles to check it out and bought it that day because it was in great condition and the test drive went very well. Dealing with Rick and Barry at The Auto Stop was easy and hassle free. Definitely worth the 71 mile travel time for a nice vehicle and a hassle free purchase. Thanks!

Rick was easy and pleasure to work with in the process of purchasing my new van. I will definitely be back in my future needs.

The auto stop in Painesville OH were super accommodating and helpful. Very responsive and ready to help. Both Barry and his son are very resonable and ready to work with you! Great small family business!

I had a terrific experience at The Auto Stop. I was referred to Barry from a mutual friend who is also in the automotive industry. He assured me that Barry and The Auto Stop team were ethical, knowledgeable, fair and genuinely good people and he was correct. I live on the west side about an hour from the dealership. Barry brought the van I wanted closer to where I live and made it very easy for me to see, test drive and purchase it. He answered all my questions straight forward and never did I feel rushed or pressured. Rarely can I say this when making a major purchase but Barry made it a pleasant experience. Now what really separated Barry from the other dealerships was the post purchase period. For starters I received the title within a week of the purchase which I’ve never experienced before. But furthermore he stayed engaged well after I bought the van. The vehicle had some brake issues that weren’t easily noticeable until some highway rush hour driving. I brought it up to Barry and he had the issue fixed immediately at no charge to me. Most dealers would have looked the other way and let me deal with it. Needless to say next time I need a vehicle it will be from Barry and The Auto Stop team. Thanks again Barry for the excellent customer service and experience!

I’m writing this review because I was not in the market for a vehicle until I saw the high end conversion van on THE AUTO STOP lot. I pulled into the lot to investigate. Rick the owner provided all the information I requested in a professional friendly manner. One week after the purchase. I have no regrets.
I want to thank Rick for his friendly professional business assistance and strongly recommend other businesses handle customers the way Rick helped me.

We bought a transit van from the auto stop and Barry the owner was very transparent through the whole transaction. He went above and beyond to make it easy for us and I would definitely recommend them who is looking for a vehicle.

We had the most wonderful car buying experience here! Barry is fantastic to work with and made the whole process so easy. They are honest, up front, and gave us an amazing deal! You truly could not ask for more in a dealer. We will definitely be back whenever we need another vehicle and would recommend this family business to anyone!

I recently bought a high mileage suburban from a friend, after driving and using the truck for several weeks I decided that I really liked it and would spend the money on a newer nicer truck.

The wife and I happened to be driving by and seen my newer nicer suburban sitting at the Auto 🛑 Stop.

We came in and asked to view the truck and met Barry. Super nice guy to deal with... Very truthful and just your everyday kinda guy.

Very happy with the truck I purchased from a lot...

I usually like to buy from a private owner but felt very comfortable dealing with Barry and would for sure check out what they have when we need another vehicle....

Was looking for a good car with low miles. Rick was super helpful, willing to bend over backwards and he even gave me a little more for my trade than I was offered from several big dealers. He was also very knowledgeable and didn’t try to pressure me into doing anything. He showed me what he had available and was honest about what he could offer. Not your typical used car salesman. Would absolutely buy from him again. The whole process was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had.

My car-buying experience at Auto Stop is the best vehicle purchase experience I have ever had. I give it the highest recommmendation to friends and family in the vehicle market.

On top of clearly being a stand-up guy, Barry was honest, transparent and clearly fair. The end result is having a car that I smile every time I drive.

In the future, if the Auto Stop had a vehicle that I was interested in but unable to test drive; I would purchase over the phone sight-unseen without hesitation with full faith in the Auto Stop's description of the vehicle and Barry's word accurately portrayed the condition of the vehicle and the transparency of its pricing.

We had a wonderful experience with Rick and Barry. My wife and I called and gave our price range, and they found a fantastic car--exactly what we wanted: a low mileage Subaru Forester. The level of service was exceptional as well. Barry brought the car to us for a test drive, met us at our mechanic for his review and helped arranged financing as well. This was the first time I actually enjoyed shopping for a used car. We'll definitely be repeat customers, and we have already recommended Auto Stop to friends.

Rick made our shop truck purchase seamless and easy. The vehicle spoke for itself and there was no pressure to purchase. Rick had history of vehicle and carfax confirmed the information. Very pleased with purchase and easy process, would recommend.

Bought a car last week from Barry. I always have dreaded the car buying experience. Barry made it easy, pleasant and no hassle/pressure. He even introduced me to Jennifer at Cardinal CU for financing. We got a great rate! I will defiantly look to The Auto Stop in future car needs.

Very happy with my overall used car buying experience with Barry. Barry was extremely informative in helping me make the right car buying decision. I had chosen the car that I wanted the day before. The next day he had the paperwork ready for me before I arrived, and also took the vehicle for an oil change. It was definitely the easiest car buying decision I have ever made!
