2019 Consumer Satisfaction Award Winner

Frank Myers Auto Wins Customer Satisfaction Award 2019

Frank Myers Auto Maxx has been awarded the 2019 DealerRater® Consumer Satisfaction Award. This is the 3rd time they’ve received this prestigious honor. This is a recognition auto dealerships can earn by delivering outstanding customer service as rated by online consumer reviews. DealerRater, the car dealer review site for consumers, created the Consumer Satisfaction Awards to enable online car shoppers to instantly spot car dealerships that provide high-quality customer service.

Consumer Satisfaction Awards will be given annually to the top 10 percent of U.S. new-car dealers based on their PowerScore™, as well as all U.S. used-car and Canadian (new and used) car dealerships that meet DealerRater’s Dealer of the Year criteria—receiving at least 25 annual reviews and maintaining an average PowerScore rating of 4.0 out of 5.0.

Dealers can increase their PowerScore ratings by getting more reviews, and improving consumer feedback on the dealership’s customer service, quality of work, friendliness, pricing and overall experience.

“We’d like to congratulate Frank Myers Auto Maxx and all of our Consumer Satisfaction Award winners,” said DealerRater CEO Gary Tucker. “DealerRater is where car shoppers learn from their peers regarding which dealers offer top-notch customer service, and now they can quickly identify that Frank Myers Auto Maxx as one of the best in Winston-Salem.”

3 Things Every First Time Car Buyer Should Do

First Time Car Buyers

If you are new to the car buying scene you may have experienced some common feelings: Exhaustion, anxiety and confusion. Sound like you? It doesn’t have to be like this! With the help of a trusted automotive professional and a little research on your part, you can find the perfect vehicle for you and your needs without experiencing any of these seemingly terrible feelings! It can actually be quite an enjoyable experience for those who love to shop or are anxious to get behind the wheel of their very own vehicle. We’ve come up with a short list of the MUST do’s when considering buying your very first vehicle.

Research

Think you know what kind of car you’re looking for? Take the time to research features and models that are important to you. Doing a little research before stepping foot on the lot will help you find the best deals and know when to walk away. It can also empower you to make decisions and help calm your nerves. When you understand more about what you’re buying you will know exactly where you money is going and you may also lift the rose colored glasses on some features or add ons that can be costly. If you aren’t a big music lover, paying for that sound system really isn’t worth the extra speaker, maybe you don’t need the 8-way power adjustable seat but you would like leather detailing. Learn the value and assess what’s important to you before you’re overwhelmed by choice and price tags.

Build a Budget

When you are really excited about that big purchase it can get easy to get lost in all the features, add ons and new model upgrades thrown your way. To keep yourself from getting distracted by all the bells and whistles of a new vehicle, make a budget prior to heading to the dealership. If you have any shopping companions, tell them your budget and get them to help you stick with it! It’s easy to say yes to the added features when you see their seemingly small price next to the larger, overall price of your vehicle but these things add up quickly. Don’t let a $100 or $200 there throw off your finances. If you’ve done your research you know what kind of vehicle and the features that you can afford. Stick to it!

Shop Around

Now that you know what you want and you know how much you have to spend, you’re ready to shop! Take the time to cruise a couple different dealerships not just for pricing but for salespeople. Great sales staff will make a difference for you and your vehicle. If you walk on a lot and someone is pushing you into a vehicle you don’t really want, they might not have your best interest at heart. Shopping around will also allow you to find a trustworthy individual to help you find a payment plan that will work for you. Don’t worry, there are not sneaky sales people all over the place, trust your instincts and come armed with your knowledge of how much things cost, and how much you can spend.

If you are looking for your very first vehicle, it can be easy to become overwhelmed. Using some of these points you can make the process a little smoother and even enjoy your experience!

How To Build Your Credit Score In 3 Easy Steps

When you first start building your credit score it can be hard to know where to start and even harder to get people to trust you with a zero credit rating. While it may feel like you’re being punished before you’ve committed a crime, don’t worry. You can begin building towards a great credit score and not to mention finance a vehicle even if it may seem impossible.

Creditors and lenders use your credit history to establish whether or not you’re trustworthy. If you hope to take out a loan in the future, or buy a house, you need to establish a good credit rating early on and nurture that relationship over the years. We have a few tips to help you build up your credit.


1) Check out your credit score

I know you think you have a zero credit rating, but are you sure? Make sure you have a clean slate before you begin to move forward. Sometimes things you would not expect can show up on a credit report such as an unpaid library fine and a forgetten medical bill etc. Doing a credit report check will help you know exactly where you stand so when you have a discussion with lenders, they won’t blindside you! It will also give you the opportunity to pay off any of the sneaky debts you may have accumulated.


2) Apply for an auto loan and/or credit card.

You are more than capable of securing an auto loan with zero credit. It you are new to the country you start with a blank slate and creditors will often give you a chance, merely at a higher rate. While the rate may be higher than if you had already esablished an impeccable credit score, with the right team working for you, you can find yourself an affordable payment plan that works with your budget and still find a high quality vehicle.

If you are not in the market for a vehicle, credit cards are also a great way to establish trust with creditors. Talk to your local financial institution about what card may work for you. If you are in the position, you could get both. It you’re looking for a card and are able to secure a low-limit credit card, go for it! Taking loans and paying them back is how you establish credit.

3) Make your payments in full and on time

When you enter into a loan agreement, make sure that you are signing up for affordable payments. When you take out a loan, you are expected to make timely payments and if you fail to do so your credit score will fall. No if’s and’s or but’s. When discussing your financing options with the financial services department, make sure you are open and honest about what you can afford and don’t feel pressured to commit to something that is out of reach. If you feel the agent is pushing you, move on to work with someone more trustworthy.


If you have gone the credit card route, make small payments on your card that you are able to pay in full. It is not enough to pay the minimum payments so be aware of your spending and know that the creditors are watching!

While it may seem overwhelming, especially if you’ve been turned down, to get your first loan and build your credit score with zero credit, it is possible! An auto loan is a great way to start building towards a great future credit rating if you are in the financial position to do so. Everyone needs reliable transportation regardless of credit ratings. Working with a reputable lender and team of financial professionals like the staff at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem is a great way to work towards your financial future.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Presents: Get Your Spring On

I’m almost giddy with anticipation.

March is here and that means spring is just around the corner. After the winter we’ve had, I think we can all shout out a collective, “Wahoo” at the thought of spring and everything that comes along with it.

I wholeheartedly agree with Robin Williams who said, “Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!” That sounds like a great idea to me. A big party in the park with blossoming flowers and barefoot kids running around with ice cream all over their faces. True, it may take a little longer for Mother Nature to get her spring on but for now, a guy can dream!

Here’s a few tips to get Get Your Spring On!

Make your spring break plans now!

Plan to do something new like luxury camping at El Capitan Canyon in Los Padres National Forest where you camp in style, making both kids and mom happy! Or how about relaxing at Kiawah Island in South Carolina – a great place to golf while the family enjoys swimming, turtle watching, and biking. Feeling a little more adventurous, why not take the Grand Canyon All American Helicopter Tour or if you really want to get away, fly over to Paris? I hear the Paris Chocolate and Pastry Food Tour is a delicious way to spend a week. You’ll enjoy French gourmet specialties in the morning and walking tours in the afternoons. If these things are out of the budget, plan a staycation at home. Play tourist in your hometown and do something special, just don’t spend the whole week in front of the tube. No matter what you choose to do, make this Spring Break special by being original and intentional with your plans.

Get your spring-cleaning done early.

Why wait? Donate items you don’t need to the needy. Hire someone to wash your windows. Clean out your junk, your garage, and any area that has grown dusty over the long winter. Soon the sun will be shining in and shedding light on the state of your homestead. Imagine how much better your spring will be if you already have all of that pesky cleaning done?

Spend time outside being active.

Shake away the winter blues by getting that metabolism going. Start walking with a friend, playing tennis in the afternoon, or biking on a Saturday. Break out those rollerblades, if you dare, or why not make plans to run a marathon? Not the active type? Get outside anyway. Dine el fresco at a restaurant and then take a small stroll after dinner while window shopping on the avenue. Whatever you do, get outside and breathe in some fresh air. It’s sure to clear your head and prepare you to have a great spring.

Ok, back to work now, but this weekend, you might just see me outside taking a walk – my perfect pre-spring activity. I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to GET MY SPRING ON!
