Why We Think the Donohoo Auto Way is the Best Way
What are your expectations when you enter an auto dealership?
In years past, the “hawk and mouse” scenario was what you would normally expect. Imagine a hawk sitting from its perch watching a mouse; when the hawk feels the time is right, it swoops in for the kill. Unfortunately, this situation bears some eerie similarities to the old-school dealership approach: a customer drives onto the car lot and begins to look around, a salesman watches and waits, poised to swoop in when the time is right.
What’s the Best Used Car Value Out There?
Recently, one of the managing members of DonohooAuto, Chris Donohoo, was asked a really good question: “What is the best used car value for a consumer right now”? You might be surprised to learn his answer was BMW. Here’s why.
Vehicle History Reports and Buying a Car
A vehicle history report is a tool in your toolbox when buying a car. It should not be relied upon as a comprehensive report on the quality of the vehicle you are purchasing. At Donohoo Auto, we provide both Carfax and Autocheck vehicle history reports for free for our customers. Each has its own pros and cons; for instance, Autocheck will show reported calls at auctions that Carfax will not.

Self Driving Cars: Would You Trust Them?
Have you seen the news lately?
Self-driving cars are now a real thing. Google, Tesla, GM, and even Apple are entering the market to try and make a self-driving car a reality. There are a TON of barriers to entry into this market and it will be many years still before the technology is good enough to rely on completely.

Which Dealership Reviews Should I Trust?
There are lots of websites with reviews on businesses, and in the end, the best place to examine reviews is where the volume of reviews is highest, since it probably represents the overall experience with the business better than a small sample of reviews. Better yet, ask your friends, family, and co-workers about dealership experiences, call the dealership and ask some pointed questions or visit the dealership yourself. We have become quite familiar with the review sites as we attempt to monitor what customers are saying about us. Here is a quick rundown of the major ones and our insider thoughts.
