Auto Paradise of Texas

If you want a quick, easy, and transparent vehicle purchasing experience, Shawn is definitely your guy. He answered all my questions and made the transaction quick and easy. I received my tags the same week and he threw in two new keyless entry fobs for sakes. The fact I can bring my pickup back for continued service at a very competitive rate just adds to the purchase value.

We closed the deal with a handshake and a hug. You won't find a nicer guy than Shawn to buy a car from. I'm loving my Volvo S40, and recommend Auto Paradise without reservation.

I signed a contract to buy a 2001 Saab 9 3 from Auto Paradise of TX.

He had asked for a price of $9,900 plus tax etc. and I agreed.

I wanted to pay cash for the car and was awaiting the receipt of some checks from clients. He asked me how long it would be before I had the money and I said 3 weeks but just to make sure maybe we should factor in 6 weeks.

He agreed and I was to pay for the car in full by 11/14/2011.

I thought he was very pleasant and I made sure to keep in touch with him to let him know the status of my receivables.

During this time we texted each other and he said he ad gotten an offer for the car for $10,900 but that he was a man of his word and would honor the contract with me for $9,900 which was his original asking price.

Finally on 10/23/2011 I texted him asking if Monday or Tuesday, October 25th or 26th would be good for him for me to come and pay him in full and pick up the car.

Suddenly I got a text from him that he would be refunding my deposit of $500 and that he was nervous after we had signed the contract and went ahead and sold the car.

I was disappointed to say the least and mentioned that we had a signed contract.

In many ways this was a blessing in disguise as it showed his true business practices.

I could technically sue him for breach of contract and force him to deliver the vehicle I purchased; however, he did refund my deposit and I was made whole in that regard.

If a business owner does these sorts of things it causes me to question if there are other aspects of his business that may also be deceptive and dishonest. Perhaps the quality of his cars are not as he represents them.

I woudl advise anyone doing business with this company to have the car they are interested in evaluated by an independent mechanic.

Further, I would not sign any time contract agreement with this business as it may not be honored as in my case.

I will say that I will never do business with this firm ever again nor will I refer any of my friends or acquaintances ot this business.

I have copies of all business documants we signed and the texts he sent me for anyone's review.

Please feel free to ask.

Shawn, was extremely helpful in assisting me into getting into a new Ford Ranger, he offered to do a lot things that most businesses would not do. I was coming about 200 miles out from where he is located. This in turn made me weary about purchasing a vehicle so far away. One phone call and Mr. Shawn had put me at ease, especially with what he said equaled the car fax he had shown me when I got there. Great prices, excellent customer service.

We want to thank you again for helping us find the perfect car for our son Harrison (2001 Infinity QX4 with 75K Miles). It was a surprise as you remember and boy did we get him good! As you can see in the picture he loves it. The vehicle is an absolute gem and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and service you provided. I can’t wait to buy my next car from you. Thanks again and wishing you continued success at Auto Paradise of Texas!

Our latest experience in purchasing a vehicle was the best yet. Shawn you were very professional, respectful and most of all helpful. His wife Jennifer was the best. The two of you make a perfect team!!!



We had been searching for a low mileage Cadillac Deville for several months. We found one at Auto Paradise of Texas. It was a 2002 with 48K miles on it and was exactly what we had been searching for. We called Shawn and he was gracious enough to meet us after hours 7 pm. There was no pressure on us whatsoever. Shawn even took a personal check from us.



I highly anyone who is searching for a low mileage, quality car to go to Shawn, Jennifer and the staff at Auto Paradise of Texas before you go anywhere else first. We will definitely come back when we make another vehicle purchase.

Shawn and Jennifer made this purchase a joy, No games, just complete honesty and ease of paper work. Went in Monday evening looked at the 2007 Saturn Vue (with 40K Miles), agreed to a total price, put deposit down and left within 20 minutes after arriving. This vehicle was RV ready, but was missing the front tow bar. Shawn went the extra mile to help us with a tow bar (He tracked down the owner and bought it from him) for the Saturn and went above what he needed to do. If you are looking for a clean car, dealing with an honest couple go see Shawn and Jennifer at Auto Paradise of Texas!!!

Shawn and Jennifer (Auto Paradise of Texas),



I just wanted to thank you in helping me decide on, and procure a good low-mileage like-new used car. You had so many very nice vehicles to choose from. All of them were very low-mileage, and looked like they were new and in wonderful condition. It was hard for me to decide. My purchase of a 2001 Buick LeSabre with 66K miles seemed to be the right fit for me. I have, so far, been very pleased and happy with my purchase. I have recommended you folks to several of my friends, and will recommend you anyone that I know of that needs a like new, low-mileage, good used vehicle. I even want you folks to do the maintenance regularly on mine to make sure it is kept in tip-top condition as much as possible, because I plan to drive it for a very long time.

I just purchased a 1995 Chevrolet Blazer with super low miles from Auto Paradise of Texas. I wanted to share my experiences and impressions of all my searches for a Vehicle that met all of my personal standards and was within my price range. I have more than 50 years of experience working in the Automotive Industry that included New Car Dealers, Used Car Dealers, Service and Collision Repair Shops. I spent more than 6 weeks on the Internet and making a lot of trips looking for a vehicle that met my Standards within a 150 mile radius from my home . I found a Vehicle on the Internet that met all of my requirements. I called the Dealer for details. The next day I was picked-up and “Test Drove” the Vehicle back to the Dealer located in Arlington,Texas. (Auto Paradise ofTexas). The Chevrolet Blazer was exactly as advertised – I made the Down Payment, then Signed the Paper Work and Drove it Home. All done in an less than 2 Hr’s. I could not be more satisfied with my purchase!!!

Thank you so much for helping find my new 2002 Xterra. When I walked into your office I could not believe how nice the two of you were, and how helpful you were throughout the whole process. I have never been to a dealership that treated me as kindly and as much like family as you guys. I am so glad that I bought my car from Auto Paradise of Texas. You guys truly are the best, and I wouldn’t dream of doing business with anyone else.

I bought an 2007 Mustang from Auto Paradise of Texas. I called Shawn on a weekend day and he said we could come right over. The car was in PERFECT condition, inside and out. Not even one scratch, ding or tear. Everything was as advertised. I looked a lot of places and could not find anything that even touched their price, condition or low miles. The price was so low, I didn’t even bother haggling. Shawn let my wife and I take it for a drive right off the bat. No taking a copy of my DL. No him riding in the back seat -Just me and her. We really liked the car. I used USAA financing, which made things really smooth, but so did Shawn. We were probably in and out of there, driving the car home in about an hour. They were very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, honest, and straight-forward. I only wish I had gone there for my son’s car. I will definitely use them again when I want an older car in great shape and at a good price. I would write more, but I want to go drive some place!!!

Shawn and Jennifer (Auto Paradise of Texas)



You are thanked for easing the pain of a car purchase for me. I am truly enjoying the BMW, friends are affirming, it’s not as hard to adjust to as expected.



Thanks for your initiative and ‘drive’ to please customers. I’ve liked you on Facebook and will happily refer your company to a wide circle. Many wishes for continued success in every pursuit.

Thank you so much for assisting us with our purchase of my husband’s dream car (2002 Lexus SC430 with 40K Miles)! We’ve had our eye on that car for weeks and honestly, after checking in the DFW/Houston/Austin area, by far, your car was THE BEST! We are thrilled with our purchase and we appreciate all you did to make it happen! Thank you Shawn, Jennifer and Auto Paradise of Texas

This review is long, long overdue and we would be remiss if time was not set aside to thank you for making our car buying experience exceptional.



This was our son’s (Connor) first vehicle purchase and we wanted him to experience every aspect of vehicle shopping – boy, were we in for a surprise ourselves!! Suffice it to say, if we had not found Auto Paradise of Texas, the experience would have ended and buying a vehicle put on the back burner. We had all but given up and made up our minds this was the last truck we would look at…knowing this would turn out exactly like all the others.



Hallelujah!! Auto Paradise of Texas and Shawn and Jennifer Hoover. Amazing!! Everything on your website was TRUE. Everything you told us was TRUE – - the truck was EXACTLY as your website said, the video showed, and you told us. Your professionalism, courtesy, and relate ability are without equal and what sealed the deal – we were sold, but after talking with you both, knew we were advising our son correctly.



Thank you for the mission you are on with your dealership and your honesty and integrity. Because of our experience, we tell everyone about you and will come to you for future vehicle purchases!



Sincerely,

Daryl and Kim S.



PS Conner L O V E S his truck! “Axel” is awesome and a wonderful addition to our family!!

Katie can’t love her bug anymore than she does! What a great experience you gave us, from the moment we contacted you about looking at a few cars to the moment we drove away in a 2002 Volkswagen bug! The selection of CLEAN, used cars was impressive, the professionalism was even more impressive. We have many friends who will be looking for cars for their kids in the future, we’ll definitely recommend Auto Paradise of Texas. Thank you!

I want to thank Auto Paradise of Texas, especially Shawn, for going the extra mile with me with my purchase of my car. I purchased a 2010 Dodge Charger and LOVE IT!!! Shawn really made my experience in buying my car a very smooth, pleasant and easy experience. I have recommended Auto Paradise of Texas to some friends who were looking for used car, and will continue to recommend them.

Thank you Shawn again for your service and help!

Shawn & Jennifer,

Looking for a car for my son in college had become an ordeal until I contacted you about the 2003 Toyota RAV-4 you had for sale. When I saw the car, it was exactly what your ad and video had described. Your records of previous ownership, service and registrations were complete and precise. Even the make ready work done by your shop was well documented. Your no haggle pricing was very fair. Jennifer made filling out the paperwork a breeze. She even showed me how to buy an extra remote on line and gave me the instructions on how to program it. After I bought the car, and you were showing me how to change the tire, you noticed that the spare tire cover was defective. You had it sent out and repaired at no additional cost to me.

I can’t tell you both how much I appreciated doing business with you. Your honesty and integrity are unmatched in this business. I would recommend you to anyone I know who is seeking a reliable car. It was so nice to drive away in the car and not have to worry about what else I had to do to the car to get it ready for my son. I have never had a more enjoyable car buying experience.

I just want to comment on the most pleasant experience I have ever had in purchasing a vehicle. Shawn was friendly, trusting, and super easy to work with. He worked with us to make the sale on Labor Day. He allowed my wife and I to take the 2005 Honda Civic LX for a test drive alone, something we didn’t ask for. First time that has ever happened to me. It is refreshing to drive the car without the person trying to sell it sitting in the back seat. The vehicle was in Immaculate condition…which is a word Shawn had used on the phone and was the exact word to use to describe it once we saw the vehicle, inspected it and test drove it.



The pricing of the vehicle was so good I did not even bother with haggling, the vehicle looked and drove that good. I had just seen vehicles with substantially more miles and a year older going for more at Carmax, Rusty Wallis and Bankston Honda. I also want to thank Shawn for the extra key and remote he threw in to satisfy my 1 request. The car continues to run great and still looks immaculate. My daughter is very happy with it. Not only was the shopping experience the best, it was also the shortest. We spent about 45 minutes including the test drive and paperwork. Now when have you ever bought a car at a dealer in 45 minutes? Auto Paradise Texas is where I am looking first next time I want to buy a car!



Big thanks and Good Luck in the future!

We were so impressed with the deal that we got with our 2001 Audi TT Roadster that we have returned and bought another vehicle from Auto Paradise of Texas – a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquise with 16K Miles. Both vehicles have low mileage and run like a charm. We enjoyed doing business with Auto Paradise and Shawn. We have even referred our Pastor to Auto Paradise of Texas for his next car purchase.

We purchased a 2001 Chevy Impala with 18K Miles on it. My Husband and I are both in our 70’s and we have NEVER experienced the quality of service we have received from Shawn, his wife and Auto Paradise of Texas. Every time we turn around they are doing something that is above and beyond what we ever expected from a dealer. From the quality of the car, to the license plates being put on our vehicle. As you can imagine, a couple of our age has seen a lot of things, but the service the two of you have provided us is beyond expectations. We love our car and thank you so much for making it so easy for us.
