Automotive Consultants

MORE THAN 60 YEARS OF AUTOMOTIVE EXCELLENCE

In January 1959, after working for 10 years in conventional car dealerships, Bill Card’s father, William K. had a vision for a timeless concept. He wanted to create a company that could meet everyone’s total transportation needs, Automotive Consultants was born.
‍
Today Bill Card’s Automotive Consultants has turned out to be one of Tompkins County’s oldest and most respected establishments, still employing the same time-honored, forward thinking concepts others only talk about.

A MESSAGE FROM BILL CARD

First and foremost, counseling is the cornerstone of what my father wanted Automotive Consultants to be in 1959. This philosophy is what makes my business stand alone from others. We specialize in moving your research from theory to application—think of us as your personal consumer advocate!

It is not just about selling vehicles, it’s about helping our customers find the perfect vehicle that best matches their wants and needs. We focus on educating our new friends along the way to ensure the selling and buying process is both easy and enjoyable. Our customers end up become our advertising, sharing their experience with others to help us grow.
