Shopping for a vehicle at Alan Schaefer Used Cars in Gowanda, New York? 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 Alan Schaefer Used Cars 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 Alan Schaefer Used Cars 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 Alan Schaefer Used Cars.

We had an amazing experience with Al Schaefer’s! From the very beginning, my fiancé was in communication with the staff, before we even stepped foot on the lot, and they were nothing but kind, helpful, and responsive. When we finally came to see the truck in person, the whole team made us feel incredibly welcome. The customer service was truly top-notch. They even helped entertain our toddler so his dad could focus on the test drive —- something any parent can deeply appreciate! Despite having a long and busy day, they stayed late just to make sure we could drive off the lot with the truck we really wanted. It honestly felt like they made magic happen. You can tell they care about their customers and stand by the quality of their vehicles. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great service, genuine people, and solid vehicles!
One of the easiest car buying experiences I have ever had. If your looking for a great reliable truck that's affordable with decent miles this is the place to go. Oh and the owner Al and Kate just made it easy. Thank you again 2011 GMC Serria Red
I bought a truck sight unseen and out of state off of Al. The good experience started when Al agreed to hold the truck for me for several weeks until I had a chance to travel to New York to pick the truck up. Al had everything done and in place for me. All I had to do was sign the papers and drive away. Al new I had a log drive to get the truck back home so he made sure the tires were aired up including the spare. Me and the wife had a nice time driving back home and are now enjoying our new truck. Thanks Al!
Just did straight forward business with this business and was very pleased with the professional manner in which I was delt with. Took care of a minor check engine light problem that showed up shortly after taking delivery. I highly recommend trusting Al and Katey they are definitely straight shooters. Thank again . If you're out of town I will vouch for them. APLUS
Great to work with! Bought a truck sight unseen from them and would do it again in a heartbeat. Showed up exactly as advertised.
