About Gary Eisenstein
As a third-generation family member in the automobile business, I became familiar with the auto sales industry at an early age. My grandfather was a Hudson dealer in Chicago in the 1940s–’50s, and in 1957, my father opened a Plymouth-DeSoto dealership in Chicago Heights. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin in 1975 with a B.A. in Communications, I followed in the family tradition by becoming a full partner in Harold Motors, Inc., which sold Chrysler-Plymouth-Mazda and Jeep vehicles in Olympia Fields, Illinois. I spent the next 30+ years as dealer principal at this dealership, where we were known for our straight-forward selling approach and fair dealing. We prided ourselves on our sterling reputation, high customer satisfaction, and huge following of wonderfully loyal customers. Since selling those dealerships, in addition to offering consumer buying assistance, I’ve provided wholesale used vehicle brokering services for a large number of auto dealers in the Chicago area. As a result, I have an extensive network of dealer relationships and connections that enables me to get the most favorable pricing and treatment, as well as the highest trade-in values, for my Better Auto Buying clients. After all the years as a dealer, I truly enjoy being on the other side of the transaction with my clients. I find it very rewarding to help people get what they want while making their lives a little easier in the process.
