Preferred Automotive Group was started by Jay Leonard as a small lot on Speedway Drive in Fort Wayne with just a handful of cars in 1989. As Preferred Auto became successful, the dealership moved to its current location at 9134 Lima Road and began expanding operations to include a full service department. Growth continued as Fort Wayne began to recognize the quality of Preferred Auto’s vehicle selection, as well as their reputation in the greater Fort Wayne community.
Today, Preferred Automotive Group has two Sales Dealerships and two 20,000 sq. ft. Service Facilities in Fort Wayne. Many of our vehicles are 1-owner and have zero reported accidents. Prior to being offered for sale, our Service Departments inspect each vehicle and make necessary repairs, adding a great deal of value for our customers.
Our goal at Preferred Automotive Group is to offer quality vehicles and automotive service at fair and competitive prices, as well as an experience you won’t find anywhere else. We continue to maintain an A+ Accredited rating with the Better Business Bureau of Northern Indiana and are the only used car dealership to ever win the BBB Torch Award for Integrity in the marketplace.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope to welcome you to the Preferred Auto family.

I’m a very satisfied customer! Not only was the customer service great, the agents really work to meet the buyers needs! I’ve done research about this place before buying a car bec Not only was the customer service great, the agents really work to meet the buyers needs! I’ve done research about this place before buying a car because I know what it’s like to be screwed over by name brand dealers! Truthfully, I recommend Preferred Automotive to anyone! More

Joe S. was very professional. He met me outside while I was walking up to the door of the building. I talked to him before hand on the phone with a callback was very professional. He met me outside while I was walking up to the door of the building. I talked to him before hand on the phone with a callback about a vehicle query. I explained my situation and he told me to come on in and see what they could do. The whole process was easy and did a test ride, traded my old car and was shown around the building for service and wash. Completely satisfied with how I was treated. Joe and the rest of the crew did an awesome job. Will definitely return for another purchase in the future. Thanks again!!! More
