Questions
What sets RC Auto apart from traditional dealerships?
We're an independent, family-owned business with no manufacturer obligations. This allows us to offer any make/model nationwide while prioritizing client education and transparent pricing without pressure sales tactics.
Can I lease a used vehicle through RC Auto?
Yes, we offer leases on used vehicles up to three years old. We verify vehicle history to ensure reliability and provide the same transparent terms as new vehicle leases.
Do you service vehicles not purchased through RC Auto?
Our service center welcomes all makes and models. We provide factory-compliant maintenance, repairs, and warranties regardless of where the vehicle was originally acquired.
How does RC Auto handle high-mileage drivers?
We customize leases with higher mileage allowances (up to 25,000/year) to avoid excess fees. This approach protects clients from unexpected charges while maintaining affordable monthly payments.
What financing options are available?
We offer competitive leasing terms and work with multiple lenders for purchase financing. Our team educates clients on tax benefits, GAP coverage, and payment structures tailored to individual financial situations.
Can I terminate my lease early?
Early termination is possible but requires settling the difference between vehicle value and lease balance. We counsel clients upfront to minimize this risk and ensure appropriate lease terms.

I loved the way Roger and staff took such good care of me. They got me a car that's perfect for me and helped me get the financing to make the deal work. The most important thing about my experience with RC Auto is the way they wrapped me in "a safe place". Thanks everyone.

2 of my 3 cars have been purchased here. It is the best place to buy a car ever! There is no gimmicks or sleazy car salesman tactics. There is no pressure to buy a car you may not want. They will help you find the right car within the price budget in addition to the features you may want for a new car. They are the only place I'd buy a car due to their honesty and strong ethics. Once a customer with them you are a customer for life plus they treat you like family. Plus the best brownies you'll ever have as a bonus perk.
