Buying a car is one of the few purchases that you will remember for a lifetime. The excitement of a new ride. The joy of the first test drive. The anticipation of getting the keys and driving away from the lot. But there are also a few experiences most would rather forget. Pushy salesman. Feeling coerced into buying a car that is just not the right fit for you. Having to spend hours going from dealer to dealer to negotiate the best price. Well at Excel Auto Group, these bad experiences are a thing of the past for customers.
Excel Auto Group was founded by Eddie Lopez, who now has offices in both NJ and Florida. Starting to sell cars right out of high school, Eddie quickly rose to success by being blessed with the ability to sell. But Eddie was also blessed with another talent. “My gift of gab allowed me to really get to know my customers on a personal level and figure out their pain points. This is what has allowed me to rise through the ranks, because I was able to work with them rather than just trying to hit a target like most salesmen do,” Eddie says.
Upon being offered a job with BMW, Eddie became one of their youngest client advisors in the US, a testament to his ability to build rapport with anyone that came through the doors. Shortly after, Eddie was ranked within the top 200 salesmen in the country and received many sales awards. It wasn’t until a client approached him seeking his help with buying a vehicle for his mother from a competitor though that Eddie saw that he could fulfil a bigger need.
After helping his client acquire a great deal on a Lexus, Eddie decided that he should be using his extensive network to help people find any car, not just BMWs. “I decided to start a brokerage company where I could go even further to assist clients with great deals on their new automobiles,” Eddie says. With the launch of Excel Auto Group, Eddie was able to help clients from every walk of life by now having access to virtually every make and model car. And word quickly spread, with Eddie’s first celebrity client being Power Radio’s DJ Envy, entrusting Excel Auto Group to facilitate the purchase of his first Ferrari.
Now having more people walking through his doors than he could count, Eddie realised that there was still another pain point every single one of them had yet to experience – organising insurance. “I realized knowledge of insurance was very important to my auto sales background because it’s a big factor in people choosing which vehicle to purchase,” Eddie says. “This is what led me to get licensed and open up an insurance agency to better provide for my clients,” he says. Eddie and his team are able to provide customers with the full-service; picking out the right car for you, handling the approval and delivery process, having the car insured, and also provide easy leasing solutions. And they do it all whilst making it a joyful experience from start to finish.
Whatever vehicles you’re tossing up between, Eddie is your go-to guy. Having access to all makes and model vehicles, he and his team will provide you with straight forward, no bullshit information and pricing, and work with you to ensure you never have to deal with dealer to dealer sales tactics again. By choosing Excel Auto Group, you not only get more car for your money, you also get a team that is truly looking out for you.
