Credit Union of Denver Recommendation - Keith Cowling

Dear Credit Union of Denver member,

Do you remember your first car? Mine was a red ‘69 VW Beetle. Neither the heater nor defroster worked, but it got me to and from high school during the frigid Wisconsin winters.

My dad bought the car in 1969…the photo shows the proud family moment. (I’m the nerdy kid on the left with the glasses and “high water” pants.) It was our first brand new car and he paid less than $2,000 for it. He even splurged for white wall tires and a radio, which were extra. Times have changed.

By the time I was old enough to drive, my job was to wash it, put gas in it and make sure I didn’t wreck it. My dad took care of the rest. Looking back, maybe the best thing he did for me was spare me the pain of the car buying process. If you’re like me, the thought of going to a typical car dealer is like facing the school bully wearing your glasses and “high water” pants. You know you’re going to get beat up…you just hope it isn’t too painful.

That’s why I want to share with you my personal experience with one of the credit union’s most loyal and long-term partners…Automotive Avenues. They’re like part of the family. Since 1988, they’ve been helping Credit Union of Denver members get a great deal on a new or used car, without the pain and frustration you often experience at a typical dealership.

Over the past 20 years, I have purchased five cars from Automotive Avenues. Each time it has been the most positive and enjoyable car buying experience you can imagine. With a 99.1% customer satisfaction rating, which traditional dealers only dream about, Automotive Avenues is truly in class by itself. And now, more than ever, it is important to work with someone you can trust.

Why is Automotive Avenues better?

• Automotive Avenues is non-commissioned and wants to make sure you get the vehicle that’s right for you…at the best price. Other dealers often push buyers into a more expensive vehicle than they can afford or get them to pay more than they should.

• Automotive Avenues has proven its loyalty to the credit union over the past 21 years and wants to do everything possible to treat our member’s right. Their customer service index (CSI) scores show they do a great job serving our members. 99.1% of their customers were satisfied and said they will return to Automotive Avenues to do business again.

• Automotive Avenues works directly with the Credit Union of Denver for financing, ensuring you receive the best competitive rate with one-stop shopping. No running around to get paperwork or pre-approvals, they can do all of it for you.

• Tom Martino asked Automotive Avenues to be on their exclusive referral list because he heard what a fantastic job they consistently do for the credit union members.

• We have our own dedicated personalized auto shopper in Curt Hoffman. He will make your shopping experience a smooth and painless experience. He offers many years experience and will do all your leg work for you while giving you knowledge of the auto industry to help you make a wise buying decision. Home and office showings and deliveries are available for those of you with hectic schedules. Juggling life can be hard enough, let Curt show you how easy it can be to get the vehicle of your choice.

I have been with the Credit Union of Denver for 24 years now. And I am committed to making sure our members are treated right and get the best rates and service possible. Automotive Avenues consistently delivers what they promise…a terrific, no pressure, car buying experience at a great price.

So, if you are in the market for a new or pre-owned vehicle, visit their website at www.autoaves.com.

Sincerely,
Keith M. Cowling
