Services
Simply stated, it is our mission to provide reliable vehicles at an affordable payment and to make the process of getting a vehicle as simple, quick and easy for our customers as possible. We include a warranty on every single vehicle we offer, and the warranty lasts the entire time you are paying for it through our in-house financing program.
For our in-house lease financing programs, we do NOT check credit because we base our approvals on your job, affordability and friendliness. You have to have a smile and your payments have to be less than 20% of your net income to be approved. No joke, we only want to do business with friendly and happy people who appreciate the same in return!
The in-house finance market has shifted toward keeping people in older vehicles for longer terms and at higher payments over the past decade. It isn't uncommon for people to sign five or even six year loans on vehicles, with over one hundred thousand miles on them already, at traditional buy-here-pay-here car dealers.
After 2 years, upgrade into a new vehicle for just $500. Don't have $500? No problem, you can renew into a standard plan to keep the current vehicle and then upgrade into another vehicle at any time going forward for just $500! It's as simple as that; and as always, it includes our powertrain warranty!.

Man this place is just the best! Eddie and the rest of the team were super welcoming and friendly. They made the car buying process really easy and quick. They got me into a really awesome and affordable car that I’ll be driving for a long time. I love my Elantra. Can’t recommend these guys high enough!!

A year without one missed payment, towards Christmas time they wouldn’t extend an extra week for a full payment. Reading reviews also made me cringe because they are so rude to their customers for expressing their own experience. I would honestly avoid this place and on top of that, the women who answers the phones are extremely rude and unprofessional.

Myself and my partner were in dire need of a vehicle, I just started a new job and did not much money saved up. Like any buy here pay here dealer you will pay more than book value for a vehicle, however, Benchmark has a great leasing program where you can walk away at anytime if you choose so for a small fee after 13 months. They also offer warranties on a lot of their vehicles. Give them a try if your in need of a vehicle and don’t have much cash to spare and don’t have much credit established or have a bad credit history.
Eddie “Ed” was able to get us in the vehicle we wanted and made

If I could rate it lower I would. First they do all this talk about saying “this is a reliable car, it will run for a very long time” not even a few days after I had it I started noticing issues. I called set up an appointment to get it looked at. Had to wait 2 weeks just to hear I had to take it to a dealership.. the dealership couldn’t do anything about it. I called benchmark and they said well it’s under warranty so if it fails on you it can be replaced. I am definitely not going through this dealer ever again. Absolutely garbage, I would advise everyone to stay away from this place

My wife put a down payment on a red 2012 Mazda 5 Touring a couple of weeks ago. There were issues with the car and Benchmark did us right. I've bought a lot of pre-owned cars in my life but this was hands down the best experience I have ever had. Philip was very responsive and stayed in communication and took care of us quickly. The people at the shop are wonderful too, especially Jackie. Thank you so much for earning my trust. I will likely purchase my next auto at Benchmark.THAT is how you keep customers.
