What if I still owe money on it?

We contact your lender, get the payoff figure, settle the loan, and write you a check for whatever equity is left. If you owe more than the car is worth, we will walk you through the options plainly instead of pretending the problem is not there.

What if I cannot find the title?

Tell us. A missing title is an ordinary problem with an ordinary fix, and we deal with it most weeks.

How do you work out the price?

Live auction data, what the vehicle is actually selling for around here, and a physical inspection. Local demand moves the number more than most people expect.

About us

One family. Since 1960.

Family owned
Local
No pressure

66 years and three generations later, the name over the door has not changed and neither have most of the towns. That matters more than it sounds. Nobody here is working to a target set in another state, and the person who signs your check lives about twenty minutes away.

We look at it properly.

Bring it to any of our stores, or send photos from your driveway. Either way a person inspects it, not an algorithm.

Title transfer, lien release, bank payoff. All of it is ours to sort out. You leave with a check.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reineke Fostoria has been excellent to deal with. Always up front on everything and very clear.  We have been going there for 5+ years and drive over 30 minutes to get there. Would not take my Fords anywhere else.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I invest in companies I am always intrigued by the legacy behind the business, and it goes the same for Reineke Family Dealerships. The family is still as ever present now as they were in the 1960's which is incredible considering their growth. The white glove service they offer to their clients is outstanding and is so helpful for working adults. Well done Reineke, keep up the good work!

What people ask us most.

No. Not now, not ever. We buy vehicles to stock our pre-owned lot, and that is the only reason. Plenty of people sell us a car and drive away in something they bought somewhere else.
