Don't Take Our Word For It
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easily the most professional car purchasing experience I've had in my life, and I've bought about 50 personal cars and trucks over the years. Eric goes above and beyond to make sure his customer's concerns are addressed. His pricing is fair for the current market and his assistance in getting me the best trade in value for my Tundra was incredible. I'm just hoping he doesn't call me too quickly to tell me that he found a 991 turbo..... Thanks again, Eric!Posted on Dan PedrozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bought a vehicle from Slipstream this year, transaction was smooth and professional. No BS, no extra fees, no hidden issues. Would recommend.Posted on Nick NuzzoloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased a Rivian R1T in Nov ‘25 and it was about the smoothest purchase experience I’ve encountered. Eric worked with me on the price, gave me a very fair offer on the trade in, and he absolutely comes across as a guy who just really loves cool cars and enjoys helping folks getting into a cool car of their own. Can’t recommend them Slipstream highly enough.Posted on Al PrestonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Owner was very responsive to questions (and I asked a lot), also has quality cars. Best part is these you don’t feel pressured or rushed to buy at all, which is the worst part of car shopping for me. Also they didn’t have any crazy dealer fees like most dealers try to sneak in. Their operation is small but the cars they do have are in great mechanical and cosmetic shape. They are honest people with honest pricing.Posted on Josue STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a used Tesla Model 3 from Slipstream and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The dealer was honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. The whole process was smooth, transparent, and pressure-free. I’d absolutely recommend Slipstream to anyone looking for a quality used car and a trustworthy buying experience.Posted on J SouzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve worked with a lot of dealers, and Eric at Slipstream is a diamond in the rough. I both sold a car to him and later bought one, and both transactions were smoother, faster, and more transparent than I ever expected. He truly cares about what he does and is extremely high integrity. When I sold him my car, he gave a fair offer right away (no negotiation needed!) and handled everything efficiently. When I came back to buy from him later, the process was incredibly fast, and he went above and beyond to accommodate for my very immediate time frame needs! It’s rare to find someone in the car world who’s this professional, honest, and easy to work with. If you’re buying or selling, go to Eric. You’ll wish every car deal was like this one.Posted on Dylan DanielsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The ideal place to buy. Family owned company, high end vehicles at great prices, and great service. I didn't get that sleezy car sales feeling at all. I got my dream car and it couldn't have gone any better. Highly recommend buying from them.Posted on Trentamus BriggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. purchased a jeep from Eric - the service was great. he was super transparent with any work the vehicle had and even the smallest of imperfections. He was responsive and overall incredibly easy to work with. Would shop with SlipSteam again in a heartbeat.Posted on V GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about our experience purchasing a vehicle from this small, family-owned dealership. From the moment we arrived, we felt like more than just another customer—we felt like family. In a world where car buying can often feel rushed, impersonal, and full of pressure, this place was a breath of fresh air. The owners were warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping us —not just trying to make a sale. They took the time to answer all our questions (and I had a lot!), let us test drive without any pressure, and were completely upfront about the vehicle’s history and pricing. The honesty and transparency they showed throughout the process is rare to find these days. What really stood out most was the personal touch. It’s clear they take pride in treating every customer with care and respect. Even after the sale, they followed up to make sure we were happy and that the vehicle was running perfectly. They also offered to help us find another vehicle for our daughter! This wasn’t just a transaction—it was an experience that left us feeling a sense of relief and gratitude. We were thrilled to support a local business that truly puts people first. If you want to work with honest, kind people who treat you like a neighbor (because you probably are!), I highly recommend giving this family-owned dealership your business!Posted on Danielle MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a buy offer for my Tesla Model Y after connecting through Recurrent. The offer was reasonable so I accepted. I was nervous about selling to a dealer in Austin and me being in Houston. He assured me it was going to be documented. The photo documentation through the cellphone was precise and thorough. The flatbed truck arrived and also photo documented. Payment services explained the process and I received payment direct deposit, half of quote. The other half was deposited after I sent my title. Very clean and professional. Eric called and asked what I was paid. I said I was paid $20 less. Eric immediately Zelled me the $20. Best used car transaction I’ve had!Posted on Alex Der
Common Queries
Find clear, honest answers to all your questions about our professional vehicle-buying process. We’re here to ensure every step of selling your car is as easy, fast, and transparent.
Do you buy modified cars?
Absolutely. While most dealerships deduct value for aftermarket parts, we see high-quality modifications as assets. When you submit your vehicle, please list your specific upgrades so we can value them correctly.
Will you pay me for Full Self-Driving or Rivian Upgrades?
Yes. Most trade-in tools treat Teslas and Rivians as “base models,” but we manually verify your build. We check for paid upgrades like Full Self-Driving (FSD), Acceleration Boost, and Rivian’s Performance Upgrade, ensuring these high-value features are added directly to your check, not ignored.
I still owe money on my car. Can I sell it to you?
We handle the payoff process directly with your lender. If your car is worth more than the loan balance, we cut you a check for the difference (equity) immediately.
How do you issue payment?
We value speed and security. For most transactions, we issue a verified company check on the spot. For larger transactions or remote sellers, we can arrange a direct wire transfer.
Will the offer change after the inspection?
Our goal is transparency. If the vehicle’s condition matches the details provided during the initial appraisal, your offer will remain the same. We only adjust the offer if the physical inspection reveals significant mechanical or cosmetic discrepancies that weren’t previously disclosed.
How long is my offer valid for?
Market values change weekly. Once we provide a firm written offer after inspection, it is typically valid for 5 days, giving you time to make the right decision without pressure.
