Between Dameon and Luthers teamwork in helping us to get into the car my wife was looking for...It was actually a fair and friendly experience. They are looking out for you and not the dollar in the pocket. Great bunch of guys. I have already recommended 2 potential customers to them and will continue. Keep up the good work.

I'll probably buy my next car here.

I will tell everyone I know to come here if they're looking for a great deal, Big Lou went out of his way to get us the best interest rate and we couldn't be more satisfied. So happy! Thanks so much!

Columbus Car Trader has received a 5 star review by a consumer on Cars.com.  As you know, your careful consideration of a review is highly recommended:

RN (student)
By Jeanette Gooden- student RN from Columbus, Oh 43229 | August 25, 2014

I was referred to them by a co-worker because didn't know what was wrong with my car. I had just had brakes put on a few days before and as I was backing out the garage where they had just charged me for putting on these brakes I said to the mechanic I still don't have brakes he said to me just pump them, well I explained to my co-worker this story and she told me to take my care where she gets her car serviced and how great the owners was. She assured me I would have brakes when I left. I explained to the owner what had happen and she put her best mechanic on it. My main brake line switch was broke and I was driving the entire car only one line. I could have been seriously injured or worse and so could someone in another vehicle. I was so grateful to Mrs. Carol and her mechanic for finding out what was really wrong with car and not allowing to drive home with no brakes. She insisted that I leave the car there and leave in a rental car for free from them, The first thing the  next morning she called to let me know my car would be ready before 4:30 that day. They did not charge me a leg and arm to fix it. This is what a garage and car dealership should operate with the safety of the consumer first. There was such a nice atmosphere and genuine nice people all through the entire shop as I met each one during my ordeal. I would recommend any person with any type of car trouble to take their car to Columbus Car Trader located at 4214 N High Street, Columbus Oh 43214 and please ask for Carol so whether you need a mechanic or looking to purchase a new or used vehicle this should be your first stop and I promise you it will be your very last. I am a actual customer and no gimmicks involved, this is the first car lot that I've ever been too and received such first class treatment. However don't take my word just be sure to stop in and check out the cars on the lot and the service they provide to their customers you will definitely be glad you did. Good lu

rofessionalism, no-pressure, no hassle style

So far so good! After doing about a month of searching for a replacement for my nearly 20 year old vehicle, I was referred to Luther at Columbus Car Trader. I honestly came in with no real expectation of finding a car that I'd love or someone that could/would be willing to work with me. I WAS SURPRISED INDEED! Luther (aka 'Big Lou') was friendly, respectful, honest and absolutely did his best to find me financing and they had a car on the lot that was not only clean, but in great shape cosmetically. Sofia and Luther stayed after hours to process my paperwork and got me into what is so far a fantastic vehicle. The professionalism, no-pressure, no hassle style is very welcome as I have seen quite the opposite at all the dealers I have visited or talked to over the last month. I do recommend visiting their website-and I strongly recommend taking a look at their lot. I usually won't advertise for a car lot, but I have to say-credit where credit is due-Columbus Car Trader has done a fantastic job for me!

This Was Truly the Best Car Buying/Car Repair Expe

in the last week-
This was truly the best car buying/car repair experience I've ever had. I was recently pushed around at a different car dealership, so came in expecting the worst and it was better than I thought it could be. They were patient with me, even gave me a quick stick driving lesson, and gave me a fantastic price on the car. I then brought the car to the garage for some repairs, and I can't even express the patience and thoughtfulness of the mechanics there. They worked with me on price, on my options, explained everything to me, and when I had to bring the car back because of faulty parts (not because of CCT, but because of the manufacturer of the parts) they repaired everything for free. They are incredibly honest and NOT out to get your money. They did everything in their power to make this as easy for me as they could, and I only wished I lived closer so I could go to them all the time! (I live in the Dayton area)

I bought a Subaru Outback here in October 2013, and I love it!  I returned a couple of times with concerns about the car, and Carol (the shop manager) was more than happy to help me out and talk to me one on one. They fixed any issues I had-  The auto shop staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.  This is a new business, and they work hard to keep their customers.  I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to support a local business rather than a huge corporation!

A few weeks ago, I went to NTB and they told me that i needed new front pads and rotors and my rear ones were "fine". They wanted to charge me $530 for front pads and rotors and I did not think this was right, or my father. So we decided to take my car to Carol at Columbus Car Trader. After a few minutes of my car up on the lift, she told me that I needed not only front pads and rotors, but that I also needed rear pads, and showed them to me to prove how critically low they were and how NTB missed it; which would have cost far more in the future. They replaced all 4 pads, my front rotors and 2 broken caliper bolts FOR LESS than what I would have been charged at NTB for just front 2 pads and 2 rotors. I recommend Columbus Car Trader to anyone that has any problems with their car, or just needs a quick checkup. They also have some pretty nice cars in their lot. CHECK THEM OUT!

Jim,

Here is the title for my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. I've signed and printed my name and put in the dates, but I left the rest for you to fill in.

I also wanted to thank you for a great car-buying experience. Thank you for taking the time to work with me on stick (I'm getting really good now) and for working with me on getting a good trade-in value for my Jeep. This has been a great blessing, and I can't believe how great this car is. I mayor may not be in to get the locks looked at with your garage, but if so, I will definitely stop in and say hello. Thanks again!

Sincerely,

    I needed some service done on my vehicle and dealing with Carol, the service manager was such a pleasure. She and her crew diagnosed the problem and explained it to me in detail. Im so used to service people talking in circles when explaining whats wrong, but not carol. She not only was very professional in how she diagnosed the problem, they also fixed it and for a better price than dealership price. Im happy to know I have a place to go for my future vehicle needs as well as a place to go for when Im ready to trade up!

Columbus Car Trader

I recently purchased an 2004 Buick Regal from Columbus Car Trader and I am very happy with it and the whole buying experience. I found the car by searching Cars.com but was a little concerned with possibly buying from a smaller dealership. I had nothing to worry about. These guys are pros. They let the car sell itself and were very helpful without any high pressure tactics. I appreciate their quick processing of the paperwork. I purchased the car and with in a week I had the title in hand. When I got back home I had my usual mechanic look the car over. He was impressed as well. He told me "You just don't find them (cars) in this good a shape" I would recommend Columbus Car Trader to anyone looking for a good honest car. Thank you Luther. Dan

Last month I purhcased a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe from CCT. This being my first car purchase, I was pretty skeptical of their organization. Upon meeting their sales director I felt at ease. (I think his name is Luther?) He flat out told me the pros and cons of several vehicles I was interested in and helped me reach a decision to find what I needed. I was able to get a great vehicle for a pretty good deal. Overall positive experience, I have recommended CCT to my friends.

"AWESOME UPDATE!" Regarding my longtime friend and graduate of The OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. 

The owners and staff at Columbus Car Trader are absolutely the BEST! 

They were extremely helpful and very understanding! They were also patient and very professional. 

Within a few hours, they not only identified the problem and repaired it. They took the time to explain it in detail, including how it happened, and why it appeared worst than what it was. 

It was my pleasure to meet the owners and their team of associates. 

Their integrity and years of experience was very obvious, they stand apart from other used car lots.

 I recommend when shopping for a used car be sure to visit Columbus Car Trader!

I will continue to take my car to CCT and expect to have more good experiences.

This is a family owned business and I feel very confident they can fix my car or tell me otherwise. SmartCar drivers; give these guys a chance for service!
