Used car dealerships are a dime a dozen. Some are wonderful, some are terrible, and most fall somewhere in between. ABC MotorCredit prides itself on providing exemplary service to multiple communities across Ohio. There are many reasons that ABC MotorCredit stands out from the crowd when it comes to providing excellent customer care and great quality vehicles.
1. Locally owned and operated
ABC MotorCredit is a locally owned company that is based in Ohio. With locations in Akron, Bedford, Canton, Tallmadge, and Youngstown, customers throughout Ohio will have convenient access to a vast selection of used vehicles. Shopping at locally owned businesses is a great way for you to support your community and keep your money within your local economy.
2. Family first

The owners tend to understand the needs of their community because they live and work there, just like their customers. ABC MotorCredit isn’t managed from a boardroom, hundreds of miles away. It’s run by a family of dedicated individuals who believe in providing affordable cars to good people. When you shop at ABC, you will become a member of that family and won’t be treated like just another dollar sign.
3. A history of service
With over 25 years of experience, it’s safe to say that ABC MotorCredit knows a thing or two about used vehicles. ABC has been in operation since 1990 and, although the business has grown substantially since then and has expanded to multiple locations, the mission has remained the same: to help good people, with bad credit get great cars. This wealth of experience is what allows the staff at ABC to excel at providing high quality service. Many ABC customers have wonderful success stories to share that will help reassure you that you’re in good hands at your local buy here, pay here dealership.
4. Customer focused
Another misleading portion of car commercials is the financial explanation is: “$49 down or $0 down with no interest for 6 months” (Spitzer, 2003). Sounds great doesn’t it? Well, this is where many college students are tricked because they never tell you about the tax, title, and registration fees that are included at the time of your purchase.
For the first 30 years of the company's existence it enjoyed huge profits from selling only automobile insurance. These large profits were achieved, due in part, to its targeted market which are generally people in the age range of 30-60 who are classified as a low risk "good drivers". The company's structure of selling insurance directly to the customer while providing excellent customer service is also a driving force to its success.

In the United States, modern car manufacturing has been historically dominated by the American companies including Ford Motor Co., Chrysler Group LLC, and General Motors Co. These three companies, known as the Detroit Three, controlled 95% of the market in the 1950’s and the dominance continued until the beginning of the 21st century. In the 1980’s Japanese auto manufacturers entered the United States, a decade later the Germans, and finally in 2000’s the Koreans. By the end of 2009, the Detroit Three only accounted for 45% of the total U.S. auto market. Another factor that had influence on this was constant fluctuations in gasoline prices and price sensitive consumers. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, gas prices hit record high averaging $3.07 per gallon in May 2007 and kept climbing up to $4.08 in July 2008.
