About Us
A non-traditional car dealer in Grand Rapids, MI
XYZ Motors dealership history
When we opened our doors, during the spring of 2016, we wanted to make it very clear to our customers that we had built something special. Our approach and mission were to change the way our customers would experience their next vehicle purchase. The idea of having an indoor showroom was to accommodate the car-buying experience throughout different seasons. No matter if it is raining, snowing, windy or hot outside, our climate-controlled showroom is ready for any weather.
Culture
Culture is what drives any business, and car dealerships are not any different. From the very beginning we have always taken pride in our culture. We created a culture where employees genuinely enjoy coming to work. Henry Ford said it best:” Take care of your employees; they'll remain loyal and deliver great customer experiences.” We genuinely believe that. We take care of our employees, so that same care and energy transfers into their work and to our customers.
New and innovative way of selling vehicles
One of the things that we wanted to do is change the car buying experience. In order to do so, we had to set the new standard for the car buying process entirely. The old school way of buying a used car simply did not work for us. At XYZ Motors, your customer service advisor does everything from paperwork to finance and warranty - all in the same office handled by the single person. No more being passed around from office to office, and from person to person. We pioneered the new way of taking that stereotypical used car dealer out of the picture and creating a process that is efficient and pleasant for our customers.
Vehicle inventory
Buying a used vehicle can be a scary experience. We completely get that. This is why we implemented certain processes to make sure we have high standards when it comes to vehicle selections. Since we have never been in business to flip cars, our vehicles are carefully selected from several sources to ensure quality and reliability is met.
Quality used cars, trucks, and SUVs
When time came in selecting our inventory criteria, we decided to only equip our showroom with quality pre-owned vehicles that are the cleanest, safest, and most reliable on the market. Each vehicle is put through a thorough multi-point mechanical inspection, then professionally detailed to shine under our showroom lights ready for the next owner. Most of our inventory are dealership lease returns, accompanied with manufacturer’s warranty, so you’ll understand why we are proud of each vehicle that makes it into our inventory. We focus on all vehicle makes, types, and classes. Luxury, trucks, sport, family and budget friendly, we have it all: from Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Dodge, to Ford, GMC, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Ram, Toyota, and others.
Sales process
There is a reason why we pride ourselves on being a non-traditional used car dealership. In everything we do, we keep our one focus in mind - customer service. The most important foundation of our sales process has always been and always will be delivering stellar customer service. Our staff is the core of our business. Without them, we would not be here. All of our customer service advisors come from customer service fields, not sales. We want to make sure that all of our customers are treated correctly, and carefully selecting our customer service advisors has always been our strong suit. We specifically wanted everyone to come from customer service backgrounds because we did not want to offer that stereotypical “used car salesman” experience.
Nothing in our sales process looks like your typical car buying experience. There is no pressure from our end: happy, friendly and pleasant, our customer service advisors are here to help guide you through the car buying process.
In person
Since our car dealership is not your traditional car dealer, with over 50,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, all our vehicles are inside of our showroom. We are proud to say we are an indoor only dealership, meaning no matter the weather outside, hot, cold, snow or rain, you can peacefully enjoy buying your new car.
If you bring your little ones with you, rest assured they will not be bored. We have plenty of arcade games to keep them occupied as well as a kitchenette with snacks and drinks. They will not want to leave!
When you visit us, we strongly encourage you to browse our inventory at your pace. Grab a coffee, water or pop from our kitchenette and enjoy a non-pressured approach from our customer service advisors. We always encourage test drives, so if you see something you like, be sure to take it for a spin.
Online
Buying cars online has been an increasing trend in the last several years. With the busy lifestyle many of us live, we understand that not everyone wants to come in and browse our inventory. Sometimes, all you need to do is get in and get out, or not even come in, but rather order from the comfort of your home. No matter the reason, we got you covered.
XYZ Motors offers a very convenient way of buying your vehicle online. The entire process, from start to finish, can be done from the comfort of your home.
The final touch of buying a vehicle online is vehicle possession. You can choose to have your new vehicle delivered to you or you can come pick it up. If you choose delivery, we work with specific local car haulers who are licensed, insured and bonded.
On the other hand, if you decide to come and pick your vehicle up, we will prep it before you show up so that all you need to do is grab the keys and leave.
Service
When it comes to used cars, quality and standards are non-negotiable. All of our used cars for sale have a certain quality standard that they have to meet and a rigorous process they go through to ensure the vehicle is ready for the next owner. Our service process ensures that each vehicle is mechanically sound before being offered for sale.
Mechanical Vehicle Inspection
Our mechanical process is quite thorough. We understand what it takes for each vehicle to be on Michigan roads, so we developed a partnership and process on how we want our vehicles inspected. It is imperative that our designated car inspector maliciously checks each part of the car, from brakes and suspension to fluids and filters - nothing gets skipped.
Every vehicle inspection starts with a carefully mapped test drive to ensure there is nothing out of ordinary with the engine, transmission, or any other parts. After that, the interior is thoroughly checked - every single button is pressed and made sure that every feature works as it should. Following that, the inspector goes under the hood and checks all belts, hoses, fluids, filters, battery and other items. The next step of the inspection is putting the vehicle on the hoist, giving it a nice shakedown and checking front end suspension alongside driveshafts, CV, U-joints, and muffler. Finally, tires are taken off and brakes are measured.
We have always been proud of our part supplier partners, and we never use cheap parts especially when it comes to brakes and suspension. Led by experienced state certified master mechanics, the service department that we partnered with ensures that the work completed is done properly and with high standards.
Professional Vehicle Detail
Every vehicle that comes to our showroom has been professionally cleaned. We do this because we want to make sure that the vehicle is presentable and completely ready for the next owner. When it comes to selecting vehicle detail vendors, we go through a process of clear communication and expectation on how each vehicle must be cleaned and presented. After vehicles are professionally cleaned, they go through one last quality check to make sure the professional detail meets our standard.
Again, everything we do, we do it with a goal of creating a new and unique car buying experience.
