About Us
In the beginning there was a warehouse, five cars, and a whole lot of ambition. In 2012 at the age of 22, Ben Houser put his life savings on the line and started a used car dealership.
The early days were rough. Zoning issues forced us to get started indoors in the back of a warehouse. We had no drive by traffic for exposure. The only way people found us to buy a car was through the internet.
In October of 2013 we moved to a new location on Route 873 in Slatington. Slowly but surely things began to look up. In May of 2015 we purchased our current location on Route 309 in New Tripoli and officially moved our operations in August of 2015. In 2017 we began offering our auto detailing and reconditioning services to the public.
In March 2020 the used car market was forever changed due to the effects of covid. Acquiring used vehicles to purchase became near impossible and was also followed by a sharp increase in vehicle costs. Instead of focusing on auto sales, it was decided we would focus more on the auto detailing and reconditioning aspect of the business.
We are one of the most diverse auto detailing and reconditioning shops around. We do all of our own work and never subcontract it out. We draw business far and wide from other dealerships and detail shops that subcontract to us their most complex jobs and repairs. As one used car manager put it, “Only God performs more miracles than Ben Houser.”
Experience and professionalism matter in auto detailing. With our years of experience and the volume of vehicles we do each year, we have seen nearly everything and know how to properly address it. You can also rely on us to get the job done and on schedule. Ben Houser performs all detailing work himself personally. You know you will always get the best result.
