“No pressure, just fantastic service.”

Our whole family, including our three married children, are huge fans of MATS. When we are looking for a replacement car, it is a no-brainer. They get the information on the car that we are looking for, what our budget is, and then they start sending us pictures of cars that match our criteria.

“I am very greatful to mats.org and the Lord for finding the exact car I needed”

I contacted mats.org when I returned home to the U.S. from Romania, where I had been a missionary for 19 years. Mats.org quickly found a 2007 silver Corolla for the price I could pay. The car had been checked thoroughly for defects or mechanical problems as well as having other routine maintenance needs taken care of.
