The whole family's dealership.El concesionario de toda la familia.

First cars, work trucks, the van for abuela's birthday trips — we've put neighborhood families on the road for two generations. Priced by the week, explained in plain words, in whichever language feels like home.

What fits your week?

¿Qué le queda a tu semana?

Forget sticker shock. Slide to what you can truly set aside each week and we'll light up the cars that fit — cash prices stay posted on every card too.

$85/week

$50/wk$150/wk

6 cars fit $85/week· le quedan a tu semana

Weekly figures are estimates with approved credit — every car also has a straight cash price, same for everyone.

First-car program

La Primera Llave — your first key.

El camino del primer carro, paso a paso.

Nobody in the family has bought a car before? Perfect — that's our favorite customer. Three steps, no mystery, no fine print voice.

  1. Build credit as you pay

    We report every on-time payment to the credit bureaus, so your first car quietly builds your first credit score.

  2. Start with a low down

    First-time buyers start from $500 down. No credit history needed — a job and an ID open the conversation.

  3. We teach the paperwork

    Title, insurance, registration — we sit at the big table and walk every page, in English or Spanish, until it all makes sense.

La entrega de la llave

Every first-time buyer gets the key handed over out front — photo, applause, the whole thing. Bring everybody.

Financing, in plain words.

Financiamiento, en palabras claras.

No back rooms, no "let me check with my manager." Here's everything you need to walk in with — that's the whole list.

An ID

Driver's license, passport, matrícula consular — any government ID works. No SSN required; ITIN is welcome here.

Proof of work

Pay stubs, bank statements, or a letter from your boss. Self-employed, cash jobs, two jobs — we've seen it all and it all counts.

A down payment

From $500 for first-timers. Bigger down means smaller weeks — we'll show you both math on paper before you decide anything.

And one promise: if we can't get you a payment that's safe for your family, we'll say so straight — and tell you exactly what to fix so you can come back ready.

Two generations

dos generaciones, una esquina

Don Rafael started it. Marisol runs it.

Empezó con tres carros y una promesa.

In 1994, Rafael Cervantes parked three clean cars on this corner with a hand-painted sign and one rule: sell every car like your cousin is buying it. Thirty-two years later the sign is bigger, the rule hasn't moved.

His daughter Marisol runs the numbers now — she built the weekly-payment board and the first-key program — while Don Rafael still walks the lot every morning, coffee in hand, checking each car like it's day one.

First Sunday of the month the grill comes out behind the office. Buy a car or don't — if you're a neighbor, you're invited to the asado.

    No haggling, no back room, no 'let me talk to my manager.' Price on the window was the price out the door plus TT&L. Done in 40 minutes.

    They showed me the inspection report before I asked, including the two things they fixed. Never seen a used lot do that.

    I got pre-qualified online with no credit hit, picked the car Tuesday, signed Wednesday on my lunch break.

    Drove it for a week, decided the truck was too big for my garage, brought it back — full refund, zero attitude. Bought the Ranger instead.

    7-day return, then bought

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    First car for my daughter. They walked us through the Carfax and the service records, and priced it under KBB. That's how you earn a family.

    The video walkaround was so honest it mentioned a door ding. That's why I drove two hours to buy here.

Pásale. Aquí está su casa.

Kids welcome, questions welcome, tire-kicking encouraged. We're on Burnet Road, next to the taquería with the green awning.
