My situation was very difficult but Academy worked it out and was able to put me in a new car at a very affordable price. Academy made my second chance possible.

Thanks so much,

Latoya Todd

My experience with Academy Cars has been very pleasant,  start to finish. Everything was easy and comfortable because the staff is wonderful. I think I met everyone and they all made me feel like part of the family. I feel I got a fair deal  on my car purchase.

Annie Annis

Kim & Chris Correll

Val. Miller

2 weeks ago my boss bought a vehicle at Academy Cars. He knew I was in desperate need of a vehicle and said I should come in. Tom was easy to talk to and did a great JOB! Everyone was nice and one employee thought I looked like John Denver.

Bill Farris

I have bought several vehicles from Academy Cars & I’ve always been satisfied!! I bought an extended warranty with one of my vehicles & the company went bankrupt. Not knowing what to do, Lonnie paid out of pocket for any damages or service needed while it was still under warranty!!  Need I say more?

Duane Sawyer

I would definitely recommend Academy cars for sales and service. Have had nothing but complete satisfaction from both sales & service!

Jr Haney

Before I came to Academy Cars, I had been denied loans elsewhere. Being a first time buyer, I was starting to feel hopeless. Academy Cars took the time to find a lender and a car that fit me. All my fears were set aside while going through the paperwork. I would definitely recommend others to Academy.

Bethany Correll

I had tried to buy a car for a long time and no one would give me a chance. Academy Cars worked hard to get me financed and got me into a car and now I can rebuild my credit while driving a newer, nicer car. I would recommend everyone to Academy Cars.

Thanks Guys

Ed Boerger

Before I came to Academy Cars I felt like no one wanted my business. I was worried about how I was going to get reliable transportation to get my husband to the doctor’s and get his medication. My friend Amy told me to call Joyce at Academy and that she would help me. When I called her, she got me approved for a car and then drove to Moran to pick us up so we could get our new car. They have top notch customer service and are polite and courteous. I will tell everyone about Academy Cars.

Thanks everyone

Linda & Allen Ward

I needed a car for my girlfriend and didn’t know how good my chances were for financing on a second car. We found the car at Academy Cars but still wasn’t sure if we could get approved. They got me approved and at a very affordable monthly payment. I would recommend Academy Cars to my friends. The process is easy and painless and everybody rides at Academy Cars.

Claude Edwards

Before I came to Academy Cars, I had about given up on ever qualifying for a car loan. I didn’t get my hopes up because I’ve been turned down so many times. The guys at Academy must have been psychic. I have always wanted a Subaru and that is what they got for me. I was really nervous about my past credit history but they worked diligently and literally performed a miracle for our family and I am truly grateful. I will recommend Academy cars to everyone!

Sabrina Dame

I am very satisfied with Academy’s service department. Excellent communication before, during, and after repairs were done. Just all-around great customer service. I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be back.

Rusty Wright

My wife and I listened to the hype, at first. “Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas City” You gotta go to Kansas City to get a great deal on a car! After two wasted weekends, we learned our lesson. The vehicle we wanted was right here in Lawrence all along at Academy Cars. We love our 2005 Trailblazer and highly recommend the crew at Academy!

James G. Lawrence

We are from Topeka. We looked all over town for the right vehicle at the right price. My wife checked the Lawrence Journal World on line and found exactly what we were looking for at the price we wanted to pay. The gang at Academy Cars could not have been more helpful. They had us financed, signed, and delivered in less than an hour!

Bart B      Topeka

The only thing I regret is that I wasted my time at other dealerships before I found Academy Cars. I have blemished credit. Academy got me financed on my 2008 Caliber in 20 minutes!  I messed around with the “BIG” dealers for THREE DAYS! Thanks Academy, you are the best there is!

Jamie D.        Lawrence

Is it too much to call a finance manager my hero? That’s what Deb is to me. I am a single Mom with no credit. I was turned down for a car loan everywhere. Everywhere but Academy Cars! With the help of Deb and all the gang at Academy Cars they had me going home in my 2008 Spectra with only 38000 miles. Having this car for me and my kids means the world to me. Thanks again Academy Cars!

Carrie R.     Lawrence

My wife and I got the lowest rate I’ve ever seen on our new 2004 Escape! Academy Cars is awesome. We had a blast on the drive home. We never thought we would have a payment this low!

Don M.      Oskaloosa

When it comes to financing on great cars, the gang  at Academy Cars are the big league. Everywhere else pales in comparison. The professionalism, the SUCCESS of getting me financed! I will recommend them to everyone.

Perry S      Overland Park

Our shopping experience at Academy was remarkable! Don greeted us, asked our price range, and honored it!! He answered all of our questions without being pushy. We test drove our first choice and upon returning to the dealership. Don’s respectful attitude was greatly appreciated as the terms were discussed. We purchased the car and love it! We definitely recommend Academy Cars as a quality pleasant dealership that is well worth visiting.

Dean & Brenda Wigger

Our experience at Academy Cars was fantastic. The staff helped fin the right car for our needs without the pressure that we have experienced elsewhere. Their assistance in finding suitable financing was unbelievable as was the sincere welcome to the “Academy Family.” We will definitely use Academy Cars for our future transportation needs as this has been the best car buying experience we could EVER IMAGINE!

Dan & Elizabeth Berghout

When I came to Academy Cars I was indifferent. I had not had much luck finding a car. I didn’t know what to do with my old truck. The friendliness of the staff at Academy Cars made my car buying experience Easy and exciting.

Jim Franz

Before coming to Academy Cars I was stressed about going to a car dealership. I was nervous about meeting a HIGH PRESSURE salesman. At Academy Cars the staff is Low Key, Friendly, and nice. They worked hard to get me into the vehicle I wanted. I know I came to the right place

Kaye Mathews

I was stuck in a car that we couldn’t get out of and it had a very high interest rate. The guys worked hard to get me out of my old car and got me a lower payment with a lower interest rate on a newer, nicer car. 

Thanks Academy Cars.   I will recommend you to everyone.

Amanda Hunt

I would absolutely recommend Academy Cars to my friends. They had the right car for me. I was worried about finding the right car, low miles, and good looking.   But they had a good selection to choose from and I ended up with a 2008 Mazda ” 6”. I love my car.

Craig Harper

When I came to Academy Cars I was confused about buying a car because other dealerships pee down your leg and tell you it’s raining. At Academy Cars I felt satisfied with the overall quality of their service. I was really worried about price; I was trying to stay on a budget. The staff was great, their honesty, willingness to work with us and above all their very friendly staff made the process very enjoyable. I will indeed and plan to be a customer for a long, long, time.

Beverly Stang

The first time I came to Academy Cars , I really didn’t think I could get financed because our credit wasn’t good enough. That was 4 years ago. Today I just purchased my 3^rd car from Academy Cars and am improving my credit score every month.

Academy Cars are great at getting you back on track with you credit. I have recommended several people to them.

Thanks a lot guys.

Linda Yelton 

We were really anxious about buying a car because of my credit score. Both John and Lonnie were very helpful, friendly, and informative and were easy to work with. We were so relieved that we finally had a newer  car.

We would definitely recommend Academy Cars to everyone.

Thanks Academy Cars

Amanda & Chance Henson

Before I visited Academy Cars I was unsure about getting credit approval. I’m so happy that because of the work Academy Cars did I finally got a great car. I was worried about spending too much and not being able to get a loan. 

Academy cars did a wonderful job getting me in a car I could afford and one that was newer and nicer than I thought I ever would own. I will recommend them to all my friends.

Eden Owen

The Academy Cars staff is friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. They worked with me and got me into a 2010 Sonata at a fair price and great payment. I would recommend that you check them out before you buy you next vehicle.
