Customer Testimonials
Car shopping at Pettijohn Auto Center was easy and everyone was so helpful in making the car buying process even easier. What I love most about them is their excellent customer service whether you buy a vehicle or not!
Very friendly dealership. Didn’t take long to get a test drive & to buy my vehicle. Definitely a good place to check out.
The best customer service buying a car I have experienced
Excellent service
I was so happy to have them check out my vehicle. Now I’m ready for my trip to visit my six kids and 8 grandchildren.
Very friendly staff. They squeezed me in last minute on a Friday afternoon after issues with my vehicle left me temporarily stranded.
Friendly, professional staff made the car buying process simple and straightforward. They really went the extra mile. Would recommend James Slatten and his team to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. Good hometown folks.
This is the best dealership I have ever dealt with. There was no back and forth dealing to try and jack the price up. Larry Crone was the politest salesperson I have ever dealt with. I would call him again if I was looking for another vehicle. Larry Vanzandt, Finance Director, was very polite. During the entire time I spent buying my wife a car, no one tried to pressure me. My wife and I drove 1 1/2 hours one way to the dealership. It was worth the drive. I am going to recommend Pettijohn Auto Center to my friends and family.
Jeremy goes above and beyond for his customers. The entire process was smooth and fast.
Easiest car deal I’ve ever made and Jeremy was excellent to deal with. No fees are a bonus and loving the Bronco!
Vehicle was repaired great. The service department kept me informed on progress with my repair and gave me a price that was more than fair. I will use Pettijohn repair shop again
Everyone was very nice and attentive! I got the car that I wanted in record time!
Recall software update for our 2023 Ford Maverick was handled quickly and professionally.
I have dealt with Pettijohn in Bethany multiple times for buying vehicles. I have always received great customer service. They are always very friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicles I am interested in. I always deal with Hal as he is from my hometown and knows my preferences in vehicles. Hal is awesome and does what he can to get the vehicle I want. I highly recommend Hal in sales and Larry the financial manager. I will return to Pettijohn in Bethany first for future vehicle purchases. Thank You Hal and Larry!!
Friendly folks doing fair business
This was by far the best experience purchasing a vehicle they were so nice and worked with us to get exactly what we needed it took no time at all no added or hidden costs it was wonderful and I thank them so much
Everyone was nice and friendly, Jeremy did awesome with helping me get my Maverick , looking forward to getting more of my vehicles with Petijohns , I would most definitely send my friends and family there!! Thanks a bunch Petijohns for all you do ! Was a amazing experience all around!! I just love my 2024 Ford Maverick!!
Had a good experience they helped with everything I had for them. Very polite people.
Sales people were friendly and easy to deal with, we made the deal over the phone before I got there and transaction went smooth. Loaded it up and took it six hours back home.
Great people, excellent service, and a wonderful selection of vehicles. If you want a friendly, hassle-free experience when looking for your next vehicle, look no further.
Awesome to work with! Great experience
Highly recommend, will definitely be purchasing with again. A++++
Larry C always takes great care of us!
Good service and easy to work with. Thanks
I would give six stars if possible. I had the quickest / easiest experience buying a car I’ve ever had with a dealer. Everyone was very professional and kind. I will definitely be going back!
I went to 8+ dealerships looking to get a car that fits my budget, and my standards. I didn't want to play any games or pay any made up dealership fees. Pettijohns is a one of a kind dealer that treats you like a human. I will buy all my future vehicles from them.
Very nice place, got me in and out for a recall in like 20 minutes even without an appointment (booked one through the Ford Website and the company didn't inform them but they still took care of me.) Thanks!
Jeremy took the best care of us (again)! He’s always willing to put in the work to find you exactly what you want if they don’t have it. Never pushy, and always quick to respond to a question (or three). We took our time deciding what I wanted but as soon as I knew, Jeremy pulled it from the lot and met with me on my schedule to finalize. We’re so happy with our vehicle and our experience at Pettijohns.
I worked with Cody Smith on having my Jeep repaired and multiple recalls on my vehicle. He did his best to get the necessary parts in, in a timely manner as well as making sure I was taken care of during the whole process. Very professional and informative the whole time!
Fast friendly service. In and out in less than an hour.
Very prompt and service was great new to the area and was treat like I was a long time resident
Larry Crone & Pettijohns motors were great to work with. They brought the car I wanted from Trenton to Bethany so it would be closer for me. They had the financing quickly and they have great follow up! Thanks everyone at Pettijohn Motors. I appreciate all you did!
Great people Great vehicle 👍
Second vehicle I’ve purchased from Robert at Pettijohn. I’ve found them to be fast, fair and efficient. Particularly like their “no additional dealership” fees.
Very helpful and made it a lot easier on me.
Quick, fair, and honest service! Would definitely buy through them again!
Was fast and easy! They also offer great reasonable prices!
Great experience from dropping car off to picking it up —all damage repaired and shining like new❤️. So accommodating and helpful..
Very helpful and wrapped up the sale in a short time.
I appreciate the friendly staff and very helpful service department. I had a message come up on my vehicle and stopped in to get it checked out. They pulled it into the shop and had an answer for me very shortly and they will get it fixed next week. Highly recommended Pettijohn.!
Excellent all around experience!
Friendly place. Clean and attractive. My salesman was great. Kind, patient, and worked hard to satisfy my mind in buying a new car.
They took good care of me 😊 but, this older gal would like softer chairs in the waiting room 😀
Our good friend took us to Pettijohn Auto for the first time. We have been local NW Missouri residents for many decades and it is unfortunate our family did not come here sooner! Everyone was great and extremely friendly—no pushy sales people. It’s really neat that this is still a family owned business established in 1942—and I think that’s what sets this car dealership apart from their competitors. I purchased a new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD to use for large animal veterinary work. Thank you guys!!
Thanks for fixing our truck. The estimate was right on the money, got me in and out in less time quoted plus gave me a courtesy car to run my errands.
Zach was very friendly and easy to deal with. He kept me informed and made the purchase of my new truck a pleasant experience. Very happy.
I recommend Pettijohn Auto Center in Bethany Mo highly! I was traveling and felt there was a problem with my car. I took it to them and they solved the problem I felt I had and was one the road again in hour and half. They were very thoughtful and pleasant to deal with in my need! I really appreciated them!

Excellent response and communication
Love working with my hometown dealer. I trust them, and they make it easy!
Robert was great! He addressed a couple of concerns we had with a pre-owned vehicle. Paperwork was quick and easy with no hidden fees. Definitely will buy from them again.
We showed up 45 minutes early for our appointment and still drove off with a newly purchased vehicle in less than an hour. Professional and efficient even on a Saturday.
Staff is always friendly, efficient and do a great job.
Picked up my car from my workplace, did all the recall stuff and returned it. Always polite and friendly.
Great service, great team to work with.
Had the best experience with pettijohn in Bethany mo, my first visit and definitely won't be my last. Thank you all.
I went in to get an estimate for body damage caused by hitting a deer. Toni was awesome to work with, and got me in quick for an estimate. He then contacted my husband to talk about things pertaining to my vehicle which is fine, but it kinda rubbed me wrong as all these times before he had spoke to me. Parts were ordered, and date was set for my car to go into shop. I dropped my car off on Sunday Jan. 21, 2024 and left the keys in the overnight box. 1 week went by with no communication, 2 weeks went by ...
Great people to work with Bought over 14 teen cars and trucks Over 35 years
Absolutely the easiest buying experience I’ve ever had I would highly recommend
We had a great experience working with the two Larrys.
We’ve traded with Pettijohn’s for years, they have always been fair and willing to work with us. Our salesman, Jeremy Ellis, is great to work with and treats you as if you’re the only customer he’s dealing with at the time.
I’ve been with Pettijohn since 2019, they make you feel human- willing to work with you on your needs and expectations to make a purchase seem like a wise choice. I may live a bit further away now- but the quality of professionalism, intrapersonal connections, and their overall approach to helping a new vehicle buyer with their deal is what makes the 2.5hr drive to the dealership worthwhile. I have worked with Zach P. throughout my vehicle search and was pleasantly impressed with his knowledge, kindness, and patience. Thank you Pettijohn! Ms. Mandy Ewing
The Service center guys were courteous and friendly. The waiting room was clean and comfortable. I had an excellent experience at Pettijohn Auto Center.
Kind and friendly staff.
Jeremy is a great salesman. Very professional throughout the whole process.
I had a great experience with them! They worked with me and my husband to get me back on the road for the holidays! What a great crew!!
They made the process very easy and from the time we chose the vehicle to out the door we spent about 20 minutes. Jack Pickren is a great sales rep, he listened to our check list of wants and found us a vehicle that matched.
Great dealership to work with. The salesman Jeremy Ellis is the bomb.com when it comes to selling cars.
