I love Idaho.
It’s probably one of the best states around, in my opinion. We have everything here—recreation, mountains, a lot of lakes, rivers, fishing, hunting, hiking, backpacking. We’ve got the only bridge (Perrine Bridge) in the US that you can jump off without a

Our employees make recommendations all the time. It’s kind of funny how many people come in, especially some guys who want a sports car. Then the more you talk to them you find out they have three kids. The little two-door sports car isn’t going to be very fitting, I guess.

The first process to getting vehicles onto our inventory lot is that we buy in bulk.

To make sure our customers get the very best we can offer, we do a 65, 70-point inspection process. Put the vehicles through the shop. On average, our repair bill per car is about $1,156. We do quite a bit of work to them before they go out.
