• I have purchased over 10 vehicles from Andy Christensen and Wholesale Automotive. Each purchase was as enjoyable as the last. From pickup trucks to vans to sports cars, I can not imagine purchasing another car from a dealership ever again. Andy controls the entire process and utilizes his years of expertise in the car business to guide you through the process. He makes it a very enjoyable experience. Andy will take his time to educate you on what he does and how he does it. He is very trust worthy and has a great eye for detail. All of the vehicles we have purchased have been great cars. We also utilize Andy and Columbus Auto Source to do general repairs and even an engine re-build. Luke (service manager) and his team do a great job. They will keep you informed every step of the way so there are no last minute surprises. Great team and great services!

• I've worked in the auto industry and been a client, through the years. Some of my best auto buying experiences have been through working with Ely Conrad. I have always found him to be honest and fair; his integrity has and will continue to draw me to Columbus Auto Source, whenever I am in need of vehicle.

• They have been wonderful to work with on several occasions we have had work done. I would recommend them to everyone!

• Matt was on top of everything. Made the sale go smooth and answered every question I asked. I reccomend this place and ask for Matt

• Overall I would say that Columbus Auto Source is very good at helping people and caring about what's best for their clients. I have only ever had one problem with them and that was over a misdiagnosis of my car's problem by one of their mechanics. I don't believe it was intentional at least not on the management's side of things. That being said it is easy to pick out the singular negative thing that's ever happened, but all in all I have had many many great interactions with both Andy and Ely, and continue to trust them.

• I don't shop for cars anywhere else. My wife and I have been return customers of Columbus Auto Source for more than 10 years. Andy Christensen, Ely Conrad and the staff are truly committed to delivering the best customer experience available. I regularly refer friends, family and other acquaintances to the dealership because I'm confident in how they will be treated. Many have also become loyal and repeat customers. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

• We have been buying vehicles from Ely for about 13+ years. He always is true to his word and finds the perfect fit for your bank account and your family needs! Wouldn't go anywhere else to buy a car!

• Columbus Auto Source has been great to work with! I have purchased 3 vehicles from Ely and am looking for a 4th. Honesty, great service, good value...what is not to like. Ely makes the used car purchase experience easy and pleasant.

• We recently purchased a car and found the staff very helpful and friendly. And there were options within our budget. We definitely would come back for our next purchase.

• Ely and his team did all of the repair work on an older model vehicle I owned. Each time their work was professional and completed on time. I have complete trust in Ely and the team at Columbus Auto Source and would recommend them for both service and vehicle purchase.

• I will never visit an auto dealer again! Andy Christensen/Wholesale Automotive Solutions has been extraordinary in finding us our last 3 cars. His strength is his extensive knowledge of the market. He helps us understand real values and introduces us to alternative vehicles giving us more choices. The flat - fee idea is genius; going in I know that I am paying a very reasonable fee to an expert for his assistance. Thanks Andy!

• Ely took care of me when I came in to sell my car. I told him I would be back and a couple months later I came back and have brought friends to buy cars from him. Ely is a straight shooter he is upfront about his vehicle he will tell you about the best financing he will treat you right every time would highly recommend Ely and Columbus auto source.

• A FANTASTIC experience!!! In a world of poor customer service, it's beyond nice to receive great service and a great product as well! When I put in my inquiry, it was at 10:30 Saturday night and Nick reached out to make sure my questions were answered! Unexpected! I was grateful for the service Forrest (Salesman) and Kenny (Tech in the back helping with inspection) and other staff provided top notch friendly and professional service. I live two hours away and I would come back for another vehicle in the future from Columbus Auto Source! Bravo!

• Ely/Gregg and the entire team are FIRST CLASS!!!! They treat people with respect and make buying a car a GREAT experience! I would NEVER go to another dealership again or one of those "Big Box" dealerships that treat people like numbers for the monthly sales board; rather than members of society! Go here and get a GREAT car and be treated great as a person! They value YOU more than your money or a sale! - Dave Bever

• I can't say enough wonderful things about Wholesale Automotive Solutions (W. A. S.) and the consistently outstanding service I have received from this company. Over the past several years, I have purchased 3 vehicles from them ranging in value from $41,000 to $53,000. In every case, the vehicles were nearly perfect and exactly what I was looking for (e.g. color, options, mileage, etc.). I also saved a significant amount of money with each transaction! The owner, Andy Christensen, even went above-and-beyond the call of duty by re-selling our 1999 minivan for us, which had over 130,000 miles and numerous scratches and dents. I have referred over 10 friends and/or business colleagues to them over the past 3 years; each of whom have bought a vehicle from W. A. S. and were very pleased with the entire process and experience. In fact, in every case they somehow end-up thanking me for the referral! Clearly, W. A. S. knows what they're doing and they take a lot of pride in it. Their service, integrity, attention-to-detail, listening skills and responsiveness are outstanding. In short, they are a pleasure to do business with and will take great care of you and anyone else you refer to them!

• I have bought two cars from Andy Christensen. Andy is a breeze to work with; taking the time to find the exact vehicles that I needed at the price I was looking for. I would recommend him to anyone.

• I have purchased my last two vehicles from Andy Christensen. Andy is a true professional who created the perfect, no-hassle experience. Andy acted as an agent for me – I just told him the exact car I wanted and how much I wanted to pay, and he went to work and found it, and then he had it delivered to my house! I hardly had to lift a finger. There were no surprise costs or anything – not to mention I saved probably close to $2,000 vs going to dealerships or Craigslist. Buying everything should be that easy! I highly recommend Andy and Columbus Auto Source!

• I have been extremely satisfied with the service Andy Christiansen provides through Wholesale Automotive Solutions. In 2002 I knew I wanted a Toyota Camry. All I had to do was tell Andy what color, what options, what year, what mileage...and what I could afford. He did all the work - and he found "my car." When I went to pick up my Camry I thought I'd be in his office for a couple of hours filling out paperwork like you normally do at a car dealership. To my surprise, everything was ready for me to sign and it couldn't have been easier. I was handed the keys and was ready to go. I had no problem with the vehicle in the four years I leased it. When my lease was up this past July (2006) I heard all the advertisements on TV and the radio...but I already knew I was going back to Andy to find me another Camry. I told him I wanted to upgrade a little - I wanted a sunroof this time - and within a matter of a few weeks he found my 2005 Camry that I absolutely love to drive! I consider Andy "my car dealer" and also my friend! I'll be back when my lease is up in 2010...I'm going for a red sports car convertible next time...

• I've purchased two cars from Andy. In each instance he took the time to understand what was most important to me in a vehicle. He also made some suggestions of how to save money or get the most value for my dollar. Once I settled on the car I wanted and the price I was willing to pay, Andy found, inspected, and delivered a vehicle in pristine condition. I've been very pleased. My next car purchase will be through WAS Limited.

• Andy & Wholesale Automotive Solutions have been a great help to my wife Tammy and I in all things automotive over the past five years. Andy has helped us through the selection and purchase of 3 cars over that time and has even helped us to sell a car. They even have the inside track on getting maintenance and repairs done at discounted prices. They can handle all things automotive with a professional, low key, low pressure approach that makes decisions easier and the whole process very enjoyable. So if you are a "car" guy like me and trade cars every few years ... or even if you stick to one car forever ... you need Wholesale Automotive Solutions!

• My wife and I drove 187 miles to look at a suburban that we seen online. We spoke to Chirs (salesman) told us all about the suburban and said he would have it out and waiting on us. When we arrived Chis had the suburban ready for us to look at and test drive. We love it!!! Filled out the paperwork and brought it home!! We live out of state , so Monday Matt(manager) called to let us know that that the financing did not go through because we live out of state. Matt worked until he found us financing in Indiana (where we live). Both of these men were honest and so helpful. When we buy our next car it will be at Columbus Auto Source. Thanks guys!!!

• My wife and I found this suburban on line. We called and spoke to Chris and he said he would have it out and ready for us when we get there. We drove 187 mile and he had it ready! We drove it fell in love with it . Did all the paperwork and drove it home!!!! That was Saturday on Monday Matt (manager) call to let us know that our financing didn’t go through because we live out of state!! Matt worked until he found financing in Indiana!! Chris and Matt are great!! We will be back if we need another vehicle! Thanks guys!!!!!

• My family has purchased two vehicles from Andy Christensen & Wholesale Automotive Solutions and working with them was a pleasure both times. We appreciate their honesty and integrity. More than once, Andy went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied. They looked for our first vehicle at a dealer-only auto auction. The one they found was what we wanted & in our price range. The search process was smooth and low-stress. Upon delivery, they even provided us with a Car Fax report and a mechanical inspection report on the vehicle. We have had the vehicle since November 2005 and have not encountered any major issues. We love driving it ! The second vehicle was one they had in stock. Again, the sale process was smooth and the vehicle checked out to be in excellent condition. We plan on making our future family vehicle purchases through Wholesale Automotive Solutions.

• I own two cars purchased from Wholesale Automotive Solutions, and one company owns two others. My Saab is pictured here. I have several friends who have also bought cars from WAS, and each of them did so after my referral.............this is a lot of risk to take when dealing with car purchases. However, in no case of my own or of my company or friends has the experience with WAS been anything other than fantastic. Each car met the special request of the customer, each has been trouble-free, each has been in top condition, and in each case significant savings were enjoyed. In my own purchases I estimate between 15% and 20% savings on the same car bought through a reputable used car dealer. If one thinks about the process of buying through WAS, one sees that a key component is trust in Andy Christiansen, and he has earned and re-earned my trust repeatedly.

• We just bought our truck from there and it was a great experience...Everyone was happy and helpful. We will definitely send friends there if they are looking for a vehicle.

• They are beyond amazing here helped us buy a new car and had the whole thing done in less than 2 hours. Our sales women worked hard to make sure we got a good fair price. Amazing cars, amazing people amazing Place!

• Our household has purchased two cars with Columbus Auto Source and has had multiple car repairs due to wear and tear. They have been amazing to work with! They totally went way above and beyond in their customer service and their hearts for the customer, not only in their experience, but as a person is extremely evident! This company is a STRONG recommend!

• I have being buying cars from Andy Christensen for over 13 years. We bought our first family van from Andy. We are getting ready to buy our third car and wouldn't go anywhere else. Andy is honest, professional and is always working to find us just the right car. We have also had him help with auto repairs when needed. He has professional quality technicians who do excellent work at very competitive prices. It is a real comfort to have someone in the auto industry whom I trust and can call a friend. Thanks Andy!

• I would highly recommend your next purchase or service at Columbus Auto Source. Very reputable and honest business. Thanks to Ely Conrad in how well he has treated our family's purchases over the years.

• I came in to have some service performed on my clunker and found the staff at Comumbus Auto Source to be both professional and courteous. Ely was very helpful and knowledgable in assisting with the details of my repairs. It's not every day that you go in for some tranny work and end up getting a hug from your car guy. Thanks Ely!

• So I was in the market for a Honda Ridgeline and I just happen to do a mass search for one that might be available in the area, I found what I was looking for at Columbus Auto Source. Their was no pressure at all . They had exactly what I wanted at the price that I wanted. . My sales rep Matt was very pleasant to work with, all concerns I had about the vehicle were addressed and he was willing to work with me to get any issue about the vehicle resolved , financing was a snap, but I gotta tell the best part of the whole experience was dealing with Matt , that's who you want to work with if you want to get things done your way and right

• Walked into Columbus Auto source today with no expectations of buying a car. It was supposed to be a "just looking" day. Well thanks to Matt Paley I walked out today with a car I've only dreamed of owning. My first Subaru Outback. He was able to get me financed and at a payment I can afford. Very friendly not pushy and listened to my needs. I appreciate the quality of service he offered today. Thanks Matt, you made my year!!! Sharon Beller

• I bought my 2005 Audi from Andy. As we were going through the process he asked me a lot of questions in order to find out exactly what I wanted. He then found me an excellent vehicle for a fantastic price! I remember him turning down a couple of vehicles before he even asked me if I wanted them because they had issues. Andy has always been honest and great to work with. He even takes great care of you after you've made the purchase! My car has been running for years because of Andy and the mechanics that he works with. I am coming up on the time that I need to purchase another car and you can better believe it I'll be working with Andy to get my next vehicle!

• I got the truck I wanted they let me drive every truck to find what I liked and worked with me to get it financed they were great will return for my next car keep up the good work

• Met my son there to purchase a vehicle.When I got there in about 30 minutes or so,everything was done,not a long process at all.I want to thank Matt for getting my son a great deal on a vehicle.And while I was there I was looking at a few cars myself and Matt took care of that for me also.Thanks Matt my son is very happy with his purchase.

• I have worked with Andy on the acquisition of 3 cars; a Toyota Landcruiser, Honda CRV, and a BMW 540i. In every situation, he provided multiple options before we agreed on the vehicles I now own. I have referred at least 5 individuals to Wholesale Automotive as a direct result of the service and support I’ve received on each transaction.

• My family and I have been working with Andy (the owner) for many years. Whenever a need arises to purchase a car within my family, they know to go to Andy and Columbus Auto Source first. The service is top-notch and the prices are great. Andy's extensive knowledge and experience in the industry is a great asset to his customers and he always leverages that to ensure the customer gets the best deal. I have recommended Andy to multiple friends and the ones that ended up purchasing a car from him have always been pleased with the car, the price, and the service.

• I have had the pleasure to deal with ColumbusAutoSource since it opened. Everyone on the staff has been a true professional to work with in completing everything from sales, service, finance to warranties. Each time I have had to avail myself of their dealership you feel like they roll out the red carpet. I would like to especially thank Ely and Luke. Both men have typically gone the extra mile to make my experience extraordinary. I will continue to refer business to this company because of their integrity and honesty when dealing with me and those I refer as a customers. Thank you everyone at ColumbusAutoSource.

• My son recently purchased a used vehicle at Columbus Auto Source from Ely Conrad. This is his 2nd vehicle from this dealership and both were very nice dependable vehicles . I've also dealt with Ely in the past and have nothing but positive experiences, Ely was very helpful and honest on all occasions would not hesitate to do or reference business to Columbus Auto Source in the future.

• My wife and I have purchased several vehicles through Andy Christensen and Wholesale Automotive Solutions over the last six years, including a Toyota Landcruiser, Honda Odyssey and BMW X5. What Andy has continually provided us, that commercial auto dealers have not, is a complete sense of trust in the buying process, and a high degree of personalized service. Because of Andy, I know we will never buy from a commercial auto dealer again.

• I don't shop for cars anywhere else. My wife and I have been return customers of Columbus Auto Source for more than 10 years. Andy Christensen, Ely Conrad and the staff are truly committed to delivering the best customer experience available.

I wouldn't go anywhere else.

• HI STEVE AND KAT HERE ARE CUSTOMER BRYAN CONRAD AND THE GUYS THERE ARE GREAT WORKED WITH US CAR GREAT PAYMENTS GREATER WE RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THINKS

• My husband and I purchased a 2008 GMC Sierra Denali from Colby this past weekend. We traveled from Fort Wayne, IN, almost 3 hrs away. We found the truck online and the description was on point. When we arrived, the truck was exactly what they said it would be. With it being a used truck, we were not expecting brand new condition, but it was worth the drive. It was in our budget, financing was pretty smooth. Colby took great care of us! He was honest and throughout the whole process he kept in touch with us. I would recommend Columbus Auto Source to anyone. I really feel like we got a great deal! Thanks Colby!!

• Matt made this the best car shopping experience! He is clearly a salesman with integrity, and really cared about my purchase. I will definitely be sharing my experience with friends and family! Thanks again for making this esy and fun, Matt!

• We had my wife's car serviced here. The knowledge and customer service was outstanding. The work was done in a timely fashion and the price was very fair.

• I have purchased a number of vehicles from Wholesale Automotive. My experience on every occasion was very satisfying and effortless. Andy's professionalism, product knowledge and attention to detail is impeccable. I I will never buy a car from any other dealer again! Andy met and exceeded my expectations!

• My husband and I have purchased three cars through Columbus Auto Source with Andy and his team and we will certainly never go anywhere else. Andy takes the time to listen to exactly what you need and keeps you in the loop every step of the way. He truly works so hard to find the perfect fit physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. Beyond being extremely happy with the car that he finds for you, you'll be even more impressed by the personal relationship and care that goes behind each and every detail. We are so grateful to know such a wonderful resource and look forward to this relationship for many years to come!

• Went in on tuesday spent a couple hours with conrad. At first we left after a dea couldnt get done but he worked very hard with the finance manager to make it happen after we left. He called me back shortly after and we went over some more options that we were very happy with. We even spoke with the owner who helped us along the way. Conrad stayed late after they closed to make sure we could get the vehicle that day since we had to drive back from pataskala and we left very happy customers.. I highly recommend conrad and the staff here. Very friendly people that make you feel like family

• Ely Conrad consistently goes out of his way to not only help find the perfect car for the customer but if anything might be wrong he has you come in immediately to have it fixed. He is always available to help with anything!

• My wife and I found a suburban online that we liked. We called and spoke with Chris. Chris let us know that they still have it and he would get it ready for us. We drove the 187 miles from Indiana and Chris had it ready for us to look at and test drive.We loved it!!! Filled out the paperwork and brought it home. That was Saturday, on Monday Matt call to let us know that the financing didn’t go through because we lived out of state. Matt worked until he found financing for us. These guys are great . When we need our next vehicle we will call them. Thanks guys!!!!

• Wholesale Automotive Solutions is my go to source for cars, for at least the last 6 cars. If you can be patient, it is the perfect way to buy a used car. Andy Christensen makes it like buying a new car from a dealer who does not have exactly what you want on the lot. I am always amazed at how Andy can always find exactly what I wanted; if not something better, each time. However, it does require patience and Andy is always reminding me. Six cars later, he continues to meet and/or exceed my expectations.

• My siblings and I have purchased at least seven vehicles from Andy over the past several years. Whether it’s a primary family car or a reliable car for child to drive, Andy has always found us quality vehicles at an affordable price. The buying process is easy and Andy and the team at Columbus Auto Source are trustworthy. You can rely on them to find the right car for you.

• I had a great experience working with Andy purchasing my used car. He listened to what I needed and helped guide me to get the best for my money. I highly recommend them to anyone

• I use Columbus Auto Source when I need a new car and when I need my car serviced. I have worked with Andy for several years to help me when I need a new vehicle. I tell him the year, make and model of the car I am looking for and he works with me to find a car at auction that meets my requirements and cost objectives. For a small fee, he takes care of all the paperwork and has always delivered a quality vehicle. I will never buy another car from anyone other than Andy. As a service center, i have always received reliable service from Columbus Auto Source. I can trust them to tell me what is wrong with my car and NOT invent a bunch of phantom issues. The cost of their service is less than I could get at any other service center...so much that I drive across town all the way from east Columbus to drop my car off. I will continue using Columbus Auto Source for all repairs that need to be done.

• My son recently purchased a used vehicle at Columbus Auto Source from Ely Conrad. This is his 2nd vehicle from this dealership and both were very nice dependable vehicles . I've also dealt with Ely in the past and have nothing but positive experiences, Ely was very helpful and honest on all occasions would not hesitate to do or reference business to Columbus Auto Source in the future.

• My family and I have purchased cars through Andy Christensen for over 10 years and will continue to do so. Can't beat the service and ability to have someone do the dirty work of finding the car you want for you. Andy also does his best to keep the price within your budget.

• I bought a 2008 Honda Accord with standard transmission from Columbus Auto Sales. I would like to give a big SHOUT OUT to Gregg, who was our sales representative. He had several qualities that are on the top of my list as far as sales reps go: He was HONEST, not pushy and prepared! Gregg was a pleasure to work with and very patient with us. When we decided to make our move to purchase, he had everything ready to go when we arrived, making it a very quick in and out transaction. I really dislike buying cars but, Gregg made it a quick and painless experience. Thank you Columbus Auto Source and Gregg!

• I sent an inquiry about a car Columbus Auto Source had on there lot and Matt responded promptly to my inquiry. I went same day to test drive the car. The car was ready for me to drive and there was no pressure . Matt was absolutely WONDERFUL from beginning to end. He answered all questions, resolved all issues and gave me great resources for additional wants I have. This had to be the easiest automobile purchase I have ever had. I greatly recommend Matt. I love my car and love the experience of buying the car. Even my daughter commented on how laid back and easy going Matt was. Matt is a gem and it was a true pleasure working with him.
