Are you looking for a new car, but dreading it because of past experiences? At most car lots, prospective buyers are jumped by salesmen before they can even get out of their car. If they find a vehicle they like, the process of buying and financing is so stressful that they vow never to do it again. Not at A-Plus Auto Sales! If you just want to browse or are in the market for a quality used vehicle, get ready to enjoy your next experience by visiting A-Plus Auto Sales.

A-Plus Auto Sales is a locally owned and operated car dealership with a very distinct difference – a heart. Owner Greg Norris has lived his whole life in Longs, and is the third generation to be in the car business. He has been helping North Myrtle Beach area folks find a great car at a fair price since 1991, when he took over his father's location in Loris.

In 1997, he moved to Little River and in 2002, opened his second and newest location on Highway 9. His newest location is next to the water tower on Highway 9, just a half mile from the Highway 9/Highway 57 intersection. A second location is on Highway 90, near the Highway 17 intersection.

What makes A-Plus so different? An assistant to the owner says, "A-Plus is a family owned business and the owner has a big heart. He will always take good care of people and everyone here is very customer conscious."

"A-Plus really stresses the family atmosphere. Mr. Norris likes to help people. The big difference here is that we don't just listen, we really hear people."

When a car buyer pulls onto the lot, they will see a difference immediately. No salesman will rush out to overpower you with rhetoric. You are welcome to wander and browse the cars, giving you a chance to see what you want.

When you are ready, just step into the comfortable and relaxed offices to speak to a sales professional. More like a comfortable living room than a flashy showroom, the overstuffed chairs and relaxed atmosphere welcome buyers. Coffee and snacks are always available, along with smiling faces in every department.

Pricing is straightforward and the sales staff will work hard to ensure that buyers drive away happy. "There is no pressure on the buyer, mainly because the boss won't allow it. We don't sell cars – we help people buy cars."

He likes to relate a story that exemplifies the good heartedness of his boss. A local man was broken down on the side of the road, as owner Norris was driving by. Norris stopped to offer help and ended up towing the man's car back to the lot. It was a simple belt replacement and the man was soon on his way. Because of the attitude of helping people, he was only charged for the belt, but not the tow. As a result, he returned months later to buy a car and remains a loyal customer.

"A-Plus brings integrity to a business that lacks it. Other places can try to camouflage it as much as they want, but you still have to do what is right. I can't stress enough how unique that approach is in this business."

The inventory boasts 100 to 125 vehicles at all times, giving a car buyer a great selection to choose from, including cars, trucks and SUVs. At times, there are even motorcycles and boats on the lot!

The customer-oriented approach doesn't end on the sales floor however. A-Plus also offers a full service auto repair department, which offers oil changes, tires, brake jobs, air conditioning and exhaust and muffler systems. Body work and auto painting is also available with a capable staff of CSE certified technicians, and local towing service. In addition, if a customer needs a ride home while their vehicle is being serviced this can always be arranged.

Rich Rinaldi works hard for buyers as finance manager. The entire crew works together to help car buyers find the perfect vehicle at a price and finance rates that work for them.
