Ray Santos is amazing to work with in our son buying his first car . This will be the 5 car from them and we will continue to send people to Houston because they take car care of their customers. Great dealership! read more

Friendly service, they were able to meet all my needs. Highly recommend. Mr. Rojo was very helpful.

Ray did an amazing job get my wife the car she had been looking for and at a reliable price. This place is by far the best used car dealership in the state. You need a car? Ask for Ray. read more

Gary and his team of professionals went above and beyond to for a father in need of a bigger vehicle for his kids I will recommend this dealership if you want honest service and a new car cause they will do anything they can for you and give some solid advice while they do it! read more

Houston Wholesale - New car! - Car Dealers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Bought a car from here. 3 months later transmission went out! HAD NO FLUID! They never checked fluid level! They didn't bother because to check it they had to go underneath the car with a special dip stick! so why bother right? just assume it's ok and sell it! They sell junk! Did not care to help with transmission. This dealership just wants their money and don't care about issues customers have thereafter. I will continue to post every place I can about the lemon they sold me so others don't get screwed. read more

I purchased a car from out of state after reviewing the posting on-line. Ray picked me up from the airport and after inspecting the car went ahead with the purchase. Pricing was right and their fees were low. Gary and Ray responded quickly to my questions/concerns and the transaction was quick. They provide a high level of service and do not nickel and dime, but are quantity driven and value relationships. Highly recommended and would buy again in the future. read more

March 14th marks one year that I purchased a new vehicle. A 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. Not from Houston Auto though. The reason........ I was getting scammed by a car salesman named Ray. I had bought a car a few years back from this dealership and was taken care of by Owner Gary Padilla. My credit wasn't that great but Gary managed to help me get a beautiful like new Hyundai Sonata at a Good interest rate considering my ok credit situation. Gary made the process of purchasing my Sonata easier than I expected. Fast forward 9 years... when Ray was helping me look for a new vehicle, he didn't seem very motivated. Gary was there but couldn't or wouldn't help me because he said he was getting ready to go on vacation and said Ray would take care of me. NOT!!! For three days I kept going back because every time I found a vehicle Ray seemed to have an issue with the bank. On one of the days I test drove a vehicle, I returned to find Ray had left to run an errand or get something to eat. Gary just waved it off and said" he'll be back ,you know how crazy it is around here. I waited for about 20 minutes or 1/2 hour can't remember. I was not too happy, but like a fool I waited. Ray returns without a care in the world attitude. I had been going after I got off work for those 3 days. The first few days after finding a few vehicles I wanted, I would have to chase Ray down and call him to ask what he found out about the loan situation. Each time he told me the bank wanted more money down. As it was, I was already going to put 3,000 down. The final straw was when I found a Beautiful Civic Honda I wanted and when I called Ray about the status of the loan, he said I could get the car but the bank wanted 6,000 dollars down. Later that day on my way to my car after work, I bumped into my friend and she asked me about the car situation. I vented to her about my ordeal and frustration and that's when she told me to go to Galles on University and talk to her friend Cippy Padilla. My mouth flew open because I know Cippy . He sold me a car years ago when my credit was really bad. He made it happen for me and I even paid off the car . I had been told Cippy was retired when I called the dealership because my car was totaled in an accident. Houston Auto and Gary Padilla were highly recommended when I asked around. On March 14th , Cippy Padilla made my new vehicle purchase happen in a matter of about 2 hours and didn't ask me for additional money for the down payment. The next day I drove off in my 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross SUV that only had 19,000 miles. Cippy went even above and beyond and had my rear windows tinted for me. So Glad I bumped into my friend Mary that week. While Cippy was processing the paper work for my new vehicle all of a sudden Ray from Houston Auto was blowing up my phone. I was always having to call him. I just ignored the calls. It was actually a Blessing that Ray was trying to scam me, because that time wasted at Houston Auto led me to the Best Person you can trust to do right by you when making a major purchase such as a new vehicle. A year later I am still angry about the way I was treated at Houston Auto that's why I am leaving this review now. I will Never do business with or recommend Houston Auto to anyone. Their Customer Service needs Major Improvement!!!! read more

This is the ONLY dealership I will ever trust or give my business to! Not only did they get me into my dream car, they also shopped around & got me into a much better loan with a local credit union. Their quality of used vehicles cannot be matched! It doesn't matter if you need a family vehicle or a fun, little sports car- they will get you into the car of your dreams! My family has known & trusted Gary & Emilio for years, & it is amazing to see how they treat all of their customers like family. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with HOUSTON WHOLESALE! read more

Great experience! Ask for Gary, tell him Colonel Garcia sent you. Purchased two vehicles in the last six months and couldn't be happier...... read more

Working with Jose, we found this to be an easy car purchase. He is a no pressure salesman and provided a quick, thorough transaction. This is the place to buy used cars in Albuquerque. read more

Everyone here is amazing. They make buying a car super easy and stand behind what they sell. There is a reason they are best in what they do. Definitely recommend. read more

Ronnie & I (Rosie) live live this business we have bought 5 vehicles my grandson bought his too and our son bought a few too we appreciate the kindness and professionalism NO Pressure always willing to help never any misunderstandings We Recommend Houston Auto Sales to everyone We Thank You All for your help We Love our vehicles read more

I've bought both of my cars here within the last 5 years and they are the ONLY dealership I recommend and will ever buy a car from. I no longer live in NM but i will travel here just because they are the best! Both times, they have been attentive and never tried talking me into buying something they knew wasn't what I wanted. Their prices are the best! read more

100% professional staff. I called Gary Padilla ahead of time to ask about inventory. After keeping close tabs on their website, my wife and I went to Houston Wholesale with a list of vehicles we were interested in. Out of a list of 10, only two were still available. This is a clear example of the trust current, and new customers have of this business. Gary and Jose made things happen and we finally settled on an amazing 2019 Kia Optima. At one point we wanted to close on another car, however, Gary wasn't comfortable selling it to us because of minor cosmetic issues that he wasn't comfortable with. This was 100% honesty that you won't find anywhere else. Thank you for the amazing car buying experience. We will definitely be back in the future. read more

Amazing service! I didn't even know I was gonna buy a car the day I went in and my salesman Jose was able to get me into an amazing car that I love, these guys here are great and super reliable! read more

i worked with Jose and he was so amazing. I went in to go look at a van and left with it the same day they handled all the paperwork and didn't have me there for hours waiting like I have at other dealerships read more

Beautiful low mileage vehicles in excellent condition, very friendly staff who go above and beyond to meet your needs. I highly recommend doing business with them read more

Thank you Emilio! Highly rated and justifiably so. Customer service is friendly and honest. I would recommend and return.

As far as car dealerships go, this place is a gem! No hassle, no bargaining, just straight up pricing for cars with low miles and usually in great condition. My boyfriend bought his car here a couple years ago and it was a great experience then. You are left alone to look at cars, but asked if you need help to let them know. My boyfriend recently wrecked his car, so now we're back looking again for a good car at a fair price. If you are in the market for a used car, this is the place to go! read more

Amazing customer service! No pressure or push. Ray changed how I previously felt about car dealers! I love my new car and they have above and beyond to fix little things on the car. read more

Between family and friends, we have bought 7 vehicles from Gary and his guys at Houston! We have always received great service, fair prices and have thoroughly enjoyed every vehicle. I refer people to Houston all the time and will probably buy from here next time too! read more

Houston Wholesale will probably be the only place we buy a vehicle from now on. It was worth the three hour drive. I have never had someone work as hard as they did to earn our business which they did. My wife and I had been looking for Cadillac for some time when we seen the one we bought on their website. We were passing through and decided to stop and take a look. We were amazed at the quality of cars that were on the lot. There was no pressure at all. They gave us the keys and let us take it for a test drive. No one had to go with us which was nice. Hands down the best dealership we have been to. Ray and Scott went above and beyond to get our business. They're the only dealership we recommend. Tim and Terry Las Cruces NM read more

I bought a 2012 Toyota Tacoma, great customer service! Great truck, even greater price! I called a few other pre owned dealerships and none were willing to work with the budget I was looking to be at. Walked into Houston talked to Gary the owner drove out in about an hour with my new Tacoma! I will and have recommended friends to go talk to these guys. Keep up the good work! read more

Emilio is a great salesperson. I liked a car, drove up 3 hours and bought the car. No haggling and the car was low miles and a great price with no pressure whatsoever. He showed me the figures and beat my bank's financing on the Shelby. I'll buy here again. read more

Great place and friendly staff! We bought a car from them 4 days ago and couldn't be happier. We did have an issue with the car and they took care of the problem ASAP. read more

These guys are the nicest, most understanding people I've met. I called about a car I really wanted and they told to me come in and they made sure it was the perfect fit for me and I wasn't going to pay for something that's not worth it. Within 1 hour of looking at the car , I came to close a deal out with the car I wanted and they were so patient with me during the process. The boss also helped me with my insurance because I came up a little short. Great people! read more

My wife and I were searching for a very specific vehicle and checked several places from Albuquerque to Santa Fe with no luck. We noticed Houston Wholesale website had what we were looking for and decided to stop by. We had low expectations because of the stereotype of used car sales but when we walked in "Rojo" made us feel welcome, comfortable and like he knew us our entire lives. Absolutely zero pressure showing us the car and he explained the known history of the car. We left without buying that night and weren't treated like crap because of it. Many car dealers do change how they treat you when you decide not to buy. Well the next day we told him we were impressed with the car and more importantly the service. This was the most pain free car buying experience we've ever had. We've gone back a couple times since the purchase to get another key and the license plate and everyone there treats us like friends. It was only after we bought the car we found out they've won several "best of" awards. After how we were treated we can see why. Great job guys and gals of Houston Wholesale!!! read more

Well, I have personally purchased one vehicle from this establishment. My father has purchased three and close family friends several more. We will NEVER be back to Houston Wholesale. You don't talk to customers however you feel because they're well informed. Your 2014 Raptor is not the "nicest one in the country". That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard considering it has sticker residue all over the hood and eBay lights bolted to the front and rear bumpers. The bobby pins in the door panels are a nice touch as well. I guess detailing vehicles is optional at Houston Wholesale. It is a nice truck aside from the cheap accessories, but far from the nicest in the country. I was wrong about one thing, there are not 14 within 200 miles, there are 16. As you mentioned earlier today Mr. Padilla, you may not "need my business". But you've lost more than just mine. You should familiarize yourself with sales 101; make one customer happy, they tell ten. Make one customer mad, they tell one hundred. Good day sir. read more

I miss Houston Wholesale. Buying a car now and wish I still lived in Albuquerque. Actual honest dealer with good deals and even BBB accredited unlike some horrible companies I have to sift through now. read more

My family has been buying cars from here for years. I think they have seen my sister Taya through 4 cars over the years. I got my car from here a few years ago and it's the best. Recommend this place to everyone! Trustworthy, reliable, and great people. read more

I bought a 2011 Toyota Corolla last November, and I can say it has been the most satisfactory experience ever since my first car. Every single employee at Houston Wholesale Cars was extremely friendly. Down-to-Earth, honest and professional. read more
