Ther are times that it pays to know people, and shopping for a used car is definitely one of those times. Unfortunately, you may not know anybody in the industry who can help you navigate the tangled web of dealerships and car lots. that\'s why I wrote this article. If you live in Rochester NY, this article will serve as a primer on where to start looking for your next used vehicle.

First, it pays to understand that buying a used car involves trust, and doing business with a reputable, longstanding firm is the wisest course. With that being said, this article will focus on larger, established dealerships that have reputations on the line every time they sell a car or truck.

First, starting out to the Northwest of downtown Rochester, along automobile row on West Ridge Road, two large dealerships stand out for both their selection and their reputation. Bob Johnson Chevrolet and the Doan family of dealerships are good places to start your used car shopping experience, becuase there you can get a good idea of what\'s available and how much things cost. Either of these fine stores will provide a lot of cars and trucks for you to look at.

Next, East of the city, is Hoselton in Fairport. This multi line store has been there for years, and always has a wealth of used vehicles to pick from. They have a good service department, and a fine reputation. Since they sell both new Toyotas and new Chevrolets, you should find a wide variety of clean trade-ins in their inventory at any given time.

My recommendation is that you end your shopping at Valley Cadillac-HUMMER on Winton Road. Why? Because they have a top-rated service department, and they are a luxury dealer with a great selection of used cars. All things being equal, wouldn\'t you like to buy your next used vehicle from a dealer that knows how to attract and treat a luxury car buyer, even you\'re NOT buying a luxury car? Of course you would, and it\'s a wise and prudent course of action.

No matter what dealership you choose, Rochester is a great town to find a used car or truck. Enjoy the experience!
