Seller profile

Hi, my name is Joe Lauer. My brother Bill and I founded San Clemente Auto in 1994. In 2011 we moved from our San Clemente location to a larger location in Escondido, and thus we have changed our name from "San Clemente Auto Super Center" to "Escondido Auto Super Center." So why did we move to Escondido? We outgrew our small location, and with limited options we landed in Escondido where the perfect building presented itself. With 15 service bays and room for over 200 cars, we can now provide even better service to our loyal customers. How are we able to expand while other dealerships are closing? By sticking to the principles on which we founded the business: quality cars at the best prices with a low-pressure environment. With the difficult economic times, many people have come to realize that it makes more sense to purchase a pre-owned automobile rather than a brand new car. Since new cars depreciate rapidly during the first few years, the financial savings and future resale value of a high quality used vehicle is quite compelling. Additionally, we have set up a business model where we keep our dealership overhead low. We do not pay our sales associates on a % gross commission or have expensive real estate. None of these things add to the value of the car once it is driven off of the lot. By keeping this overhead low, we can offer more attractive pricing than our competitors on Auto parkway. One thing that does add value, however, is the mechanical quality of your car. Some automobile dealerships just have sales offices with no repair shop. To them, repairing and reconditioning their vehicles is an added expense that they have to pay out to other companies. At Escondido Auto Super Center, we have our own repair shop with ASE certified professionals. Making sure we offer great running vehicles is not an added expense, but part of who we are. Come in and have a look. We think you will find it an enjoyable experience. We believe the car buying experience should be a hassle and stress-free experience.
