The ages and stages of a mom’s car needs

When you become a mom, everything changes, including what you look for in a car and how you shop.

Before kids, your vehicle needs and wants were a whole lot different. Gone are the days of your velour tracksuit and chunky highlights, and same for your Ford Escort with the multi-CD player. As you grow, your needs and wants change, and when kids enter the picture, safety and comfort tend to top the list. We aim to make your car search as easy as possible, with a variety of ways to shop with us.

Online shop first

Our website offers in-depth searching so you can shop for your family’s unique needs. Looking for a pre-owned vehicle with hands-free liftgate, rain-sensing wipers and Wi-fi hotspot capabilities? We got you.

Then get the IRL Experience

After the research phase, you’ll of course want to do a test drive. When you’re ready to come in, bring the kids. We have snacks! And a fun playroom. Plus, you might discover a vehicle that you didn’t have on your radar but it fits you perfectly. For instance, sometimes a minivan seems ideal but then you find an SUV that offers the comfort you want, plus towing and snow handling that better suits your lifestyle.

Your needs keep evolving

And as your family changes, you might find yourself looking for something different: perhaps a new addition to the family or a newly licensed-to-drive teenager who really wants their own car (the kids call them “whips,” in case you didn’t know).

We are a family-owned business across four generations who truly understand your evolving needs. And who knows, maybe when the kids are grown, a sporty coupe calls to you. From your own youthful days, to motherhood and beyond, we’re here for you.
