Clearing Up Common Misconceptions About BHPH & What It Really Means at McCall’s Auto
When it comes to Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealerships, there are a lot of stories out there – and not all of them match the way real, community-focused dealerships operate.
At McCall’s Auto Sales, we’ve been serving Brewton, Alabama and the surrounding area with honest, trusted BHPH vehicle solutions since 1991. We believe everyone deserves reliable transportation, regardless of credit history, and we take pride in supporting families, workers, and students with vehicles that help them move forward.
Let’s set the record straight by busting some of the most common myths and sharing the real truths behind them.
Myth #1: BHPH Means “Only Bad Cars”
Reality:
At McCall’s Auto, we inspect and recondition every vehicle on our lot to meet high safety and performance standards.
Just because a vehicle is pre-owned doesn’t mean it’s unreliable. Our inventory includes well-maintained sedans, SUVs, and trucks that are chosen to meet real customer needs – from daily commuting to family travel and work requirements.
What You Should Know:
Quality vehicles and dependable transportation are central to what we do.
Myth #2: BHPH Dealers Don’t Care After the Sale
Reality:
Relationships matter here – and that starts long after you drive off the lot.
At McCall’s Auto, we treat every customer like family, with honest guidance, friendly communication, and support through the life of your ownership.
Whether you’re asking about maintenance, making a payment, or exploring trade-in options, we’re here to help.
Myth #3: BHPH Doesn’t Help You Build Credit
