5 Star Auto Sales
Our car dealership is family owned and operated. We have been providing reliable used cars to the local area around Shelby and Gastonia for the last 18 years. We take pride in our business so that you can feel confident about purchasing a used car with us. We, Robbie and Nikki Ledbetter, personally go and hand pick our inventory.

If we wouldn't want to drive it we don't buy it for you to buy from us! When we do purchase a vehicle we strive to check each vehicle for any unforeseen problems that may arise after the sale. We also understand our customer. We understand sometimes ''life happens'' and it is tough sometimes for people.

Tough situations arise in this crazy economy. You may have been in bankruptcy in the past, divorce, medical bills could have piled up or job loss of your job in the past could have caused your credit to not be so good anymore. With our Buy Here Pay Here program, even no credit at all is accepted here.

Terrible place to buy a car. My sister bought a Chevy Cruze from there and two days later the belt came off and we found out the oil was leaking non-stop. They refused to help her. Left her standing in the rain after she agreed to buy the car (she was still walking and no one offered to at least take her closer to home) She really needed a reliable car she saved her money up for months after walking to work in the rain/heat/late nights all for this? I work at a dealership and we would have never done our customer like this. It’s ridiculous… DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS U WANT TO

Kinda in between about them, had great communication over the phone, we talked about my down payment amount, and some other stipulations that I agreed upon over the phone. Did a credit application. Drove there the next day, test drove the car, I was so happy and in need. After test driving, everything literally changed in the blink of an eye and was asked for double the amount of the down payment that I offered which was basically 3 times the asking down payment amount. Geesh, like... we literally talked the day before. I’m not sure what happened. Especially with emails and constant communication

I love this place and would recommend them to anyone. They're very honest people that just want to help you get in your next car. Nikki and Celeste have always been so nice and considerate to me. I'm about to pay my second car off with them. I'll miss them. I guess I'll have to buy another car.

My review must have been deleted. My fiance bought a car from Nikki, the check engine light came on after a few hours of driving it. The clutch needs replaced, the CD player doesn't work. Nikki said, "the car was fine when they had it." After my first review I posted, Nikki calls my fiance during his work hours to tell him, "your girlfriend needs to get her facts straight!" They argued a minute on the phone with it ending in, "are you threatening me" to "at the end of the day, you're still a used car salesman." Then Nikki hung up on him.
Nikki doesn't take criticism very well, she's very arrogant

The people here are amazing. Very easy going and helpful. We needed a vehicle and just dont have the credit for a huge down payment and get a junk car like other places. At 5 Star, they work with you and get you into a car that you actually like and enjoy. I would recommend this to anyone.

We are very pleased with our experiences with Five Star Auto. In February, 2015, we purchased our first vehicle from this dealer. We obtained a gorgeous one-owner 2000 Buick Park Avenue which was in excellent condition, inside and out, and came complete with full maintenance records including all repairs and any parts obtained. The mileage was less than 175,000 on a 15-year-old vehicle. The only things we have had done to the car in the last year and a half were to purchase new tires, replace the battery, do oil changes and replace a coil. Having had such a stress-free experience with Nikki (the
