Even if you have low or no credit.
When you’re buying a car, you deserve to know all your options AND have the time and space to think through them.
We don’t believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Or medium-pressure. Or any-pressure.
This is your choice, not ours. And you should get all the information you need to make a balanced decision.
A decision that works for you. For your finances. For your lifestyle. For your family.
That’s why we’re the most transparent dealership in Northern California.
Try the NON-sales call: Call us today and ask any questions you want—and we won’t try to sell to you.
How does it work?
Ask about the car-buying process, anything that feels overwhelming or confusing.
What if I have low credit? or no credit?
Inquire about options available to you.
Ask about a specific car.
If you have your eye on a car and want to know if it is a good deal, ask The Car Dad.
Ask about the weather!?!
(Seriously, the Car Dad is a weather nerd)
Hi, I’m Brian Leach, the Car Dad, and I’ve been in the car business for over 40 years.
I’ve always loved setting people up with the right ride. Right car vs. wrong car makes a big difference in your life.
But what I DON’T like is the rampant bamboozling I’ve seen in some dealerships. Many salespersons try to pressure you into a quick decision (that always comes out in their favor…).
Not at the Car Dad. Our goal is for you to leave the lot with a car you love and a deal you won’t regret. (Even when it’s time for your monthly payment.)
Experience the difference today. Ask us anything, and we won’t pressure you.
Do any of these sound like you?
Then you’re in the right spot.
If you have bad credit, we’ll work it out. If you have no credit, we’ll work it out. I’ve been doing exactly that for decades. Everyone deserves transportation.
If you have no or low credit and no experience buying a car, that’s all the more reason to come to the dealer who will walk you through your options. We’ll give you time and space to consider, and we’ll help you pick financing that you can feel good about—even after you leave the lot.
Hop on a call and we’ll answer all your questions—without any pressure or sales tactics.
Hear from a happy customer
Bob Shimer came into the Car Dad dealership, looking for a car for his son, Luke Shimer, who was going to school in Washington. We chatted and enjoyed a test drive. Luke’s previous car had been totaled, so they had insurance money.
We were, as always, extremely transparent. Here’s what the inspection said. Here are the things we fixed—and the things we didn’t fix. It was a 20-year-old car with 140k mileage, so we looked at the CarFax and explained the financial options to Bob.
Bob approved of the car and the deal. The next day, Mom came in, and she asked, “Where do I sign?”
Luke loved his new car. Bob texted us later with this review:
“We bought our son a used car to use while at school. I went all over Santa Rosa looking for something and not only found the perfect car for him at Car Dad, but worked directly with the owner, Brian, which was a great experience. He was patient, informative and quite kind and made the used car experience wonderful. I would definitely recommend Car Dad if you are looking for a good used car. Thanks again Brian [the Car Dad].”
