Shopping for a vehicle at 5 Star Auto Sales, LLC in Shelby, North Carolina? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask 5 Star Auto Sales, LLC if a report is available for any listing.
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask 5 Star Auto Sales, LLC if a third-party inspection is permitted.
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at 5 Star Auto Sales, LLC.

Nikki was the sweetest car 🚗 sales person I ever meet even though she’s the owner of 5 star auto.. She was truly a Blessing to me I can’t even count how many car 🚗 lots I had been to and had been disappointed 😢 at or better yet lied 🤥 to before I fought 5star I would recommend this car 🚗 lot to anyone who has been turned around at any other car 🚗 place if she tells you she Got you she Got you !!! When she says they will work with you on down payment and car 🚗 payments they will do just that to make sure it’s affordable for your you . Nikki was very understanding. When They Say bring in your DL and Prof of income and provide documentation where you live they mean just that!!! I had no problems.Nikki you are the Best .Thank you again for giving me a chance to start over again in life and not holding me to my past . Thank you for answering my prayers.🙏🏿 I can’t Thank you 😊 a nuff and I Definitely can’t Thank God a nuff for giving you the heart ❤️ to do what you have done for me I can truly say there is still good heart ❤️ and pure hearted people in this world 🌎 who cares about others yes 👍 it’s Business 👩💼 and yes money 💴 is involved in it but Nikki showed me a different kind of love ❤️ that showed she’s not just into for the money 💰 (greedy) she in Business 👩💼 for smiles and to help others and to go home 🏡 and sleep 😴 at night knowing she did something to help someone. Her smile 😊 is just a nuff to make you want to buy a car 🚗
I purchased the Red 2016 ford fusion ENERGI. Beautiful car. This is my first car. Bought the car with dish washer pay and tips. Mrs. Ledbetter was honest, respectful, firm, and generous. We had a great conversation. Guys and girls, rules are rules. Once you sign your name on that contract you must follow it just as the dealership has to. You have to. This car is beyond perfect. I’d like to buy a mustang from them one day. Contract is pretty clear and specific. Often times people make very simple processes like buying a used car at a buy here pay here more stressful than it has to be. I recommend them to anyone. Rules are Rules.
I bought a 2012 Honda Civic a few days ago and we love it . I have dealt with other car lots and not been this happy . I have not had one single issue with this car. So if you want a good viable car. come to five star and Nikki will hook u up with a nice reliable vehicle .Thanks again Nikki . It's hard to find honest people like u guys .we are definitely satisfied. I don't think this will be my last vehicle with you. I would definitely buy from you guys again.
We are very pleased with our experiences with Five Star Auto. In February, 2015, we purchased our first vehicle from this dealer. We obtained a gorgeous one-owner 2000 Buick Park Avenue which was in excellent condition, inside and out, and came complete with full maintenance records including all repairs and any parts obtained. The mileage was less than 175,000 on a 15-year-old vehicle. The only things we have had done to the car in the last year and a half were to purchase new tires, replace the battery, do oil changes and replace a coil. Having had such a stress-free experience with Nikki (the owner), we knew that when we wanted another vehicle we would go to her. We called Nikki and asked if she could be on the lookout for a Trailblazer or similar size and quality SUV (year ranging from 1999 - 2006) in good condition that she could sell to us for between $4,000 - $6000 and still make a profit for herself. True to her word, we heard from her last Friday. She had in a lovely 2006 Trailblazer on which she offered first dibs to us after her garage had the chance to go over it and take care of anything they came across that might need repair. The vehicle needed very little and, once that was taken care of, she was able to set a price which we found very reasonable. Yesterday we drove out of Five Star with a lovely, well-maintained 10-year-old Trailblazer for less than $5,000 including taxes and registration. We paid cash for each of the vehicles, but she would have worked hard to make it affordable for us had we needed to finance. The next time we are in the market for another vehicle, we will immediately turn to Five Star and you recommend that you purchase your own vehicles here also.
Very wonderful customer service. Celeste was very patient on listening to and understanding our situation as was Nikki. Worked with us on getting paperwork straight and all around awesome service! I highly recommend anyone needing a good car to atleast stop by and give them a chance. It was well worth the drive! Keep rocking guys!
