CAR1 is Quality PreOwned Automotive Sales & Service

CAR1 is a 4th generation, pre-owned vehicle store offering late-model, quality, inspected vehicles. We offer a no-pressure buying environment, and at CAR1, you deal directly with one of the owners. No more hassles or high-pressure, commissioned sales people. At CAR1, you get a clear price for the vehicle you’re considering and a fair trade value, not just a payment. At CAR1, you, the customer, are in total control.

CAR1, which is family owned and operated, was established in 1999 by Larry & Aaron Baus. Our staff has extensive experience and knowledge dating back to 1926.

Before establishing CAR1, Larry was the third generation owner and operator of Nofzinger Pontiac-GMC in Archbold, Ohio. After selling the new car franchise in 1998, Larry & Aaron recognized a need for a dealership that could provide quality, pre-owned vehicles to consumers in a hassle-free environment. CAR 1 is that dealership.

Chad serves as the company’s President of Sales and Aaron serves as President of Purchasing. Larry stayed on in a part-time position until 2020.
