Of all the wholesale dealers at Manheim, Bob Hollenshead is unique in the quality of selection and product, condition of the vehicles, and entertainment at the auction. But probably his best selling point is his resolution of any and all problems that occur after the sale and the money has exchanged hands.  From the first vehicle that I purchased from him 15 years ago, through the hundreds since then, Bob is a breath of fresh air in this industry.  He is a fair man.

Never in my 15 years in this business have I come accross a team as dedicated and trustworthy as Hollenshead Auto Sales.  I deal in high end - Porsche, Audi & Mercedes.....and I know that when I need a creampuff I can get it from Hollenshead.    My most discerning clients drive "Bob-mobiles".  If you are looking for a trustworthy place to buy your next creampuff - call Bob and his team.  They treat you right, and their word is gold.

"You might not know him, but you got to respect him. This dude has the heart of a lion. Manheim ain't nothing without the "Head."

 Jimmy Nicolino- Brooklyn NY

 "We travel all over the country to buy cars. The Hollenshead lanes are where we find what we need most often. He is the most honorable company we buy from in the USA. His carisma is second to nobody. What a showman. Why don't you open your own auction? You certainly have the cars."

 Vladimir Olyanov- Kiev Russia

 

"Bob stands by what he sells"

Bruce Culpeper-JBW Auto Brokers

 

"We prefer to buy from Robert and Travis Hollenshead because they are real gentlemen. They don't prostitute the business by pimping other peoples cars and acting like they are their own. Every time I buy a car from a "Rep" service, I get a run around. With Hollenshead I buy with no fear. I really feel like they are here to help me, not just in words. Thank you Robert and Travis."

Tom Ramey- Broadveiw Motors, Springfield, Virginia

 

"Great attitude, clean cars with guarantees, and great prizes!"

Bari M.-National Motors, VA

 

I just finished reading your site and found myself both tired and inspired. Tired because you have so much energy that it gets my heart pumping, and inspired because I hold the same philosophies you do when it comes to evaluating a cars worth. Also because you have carved out your place in automotive wholesale history on your own. Congratulations! Anyone who works as hard as you deserves the best the business has to offer.

Kory Smith, Pittsburgh

 

" The excitement in the lane is electric, and when it comes to Bob and his cars, it all about the VOLUME baby!"

Jim Borga- C&J Auto Brokers, Inc.

Brad Paul- Ardmore Toyota

 

" We've known Bob for 12 years, and he has always stood behind his product. He is the man, and keeps his word.

Ceylon Auto Traders

 

"I’ve been coming to Manheim for years for the selection, and always end up in Bob’s lane because of his variety, quality of product, and the fact he has a detailed car I can put right on my lot."

 Craig Goess - Greenwood Toyota NC

 

"We buy roughly 200 cars a month at Manheim, and the majority are from Bob because of his vast selection of makes and models. The best part is, if we buy something that doesn’t quite meet our needs, Bob works with us. We always do business with a smile when dealing with Hollenshead."

 Taj Gooly - Carmine’s Auto MD

 

"Not only is the quality of the product in lane 22 outstanding, but Bob stands behind his product. I come to Manheim every Friday and spend the majority of my time in lane 22... it just works all around."

 Joe Scialo - JMS Motors NY

 

"Bobby is the best."

 Rocky - Alexandria Toyota VA

 

"We buy over 1000 cars a year from Robert for the past ten years. I don't know how he finds them, but it works for us. Thank you Robert ."

 Mike Molle - McCarthy Auto Group KS

 

I own and operate a independant car dealership in Tampa, Florida.  Our main focus is custom locate services catering to first responders and military personel.  We treat these hero's well - and take our responsibiliy seriously.  While they are out protecting us, we are out getting them good value, reliable transportation.  When we buy cars from Hollenshead, we are confident that we are looking after those who look after us.  The units are coming from a team that stands behind what they sell.  I am always to pay a little more for a Hollenshead car .

I have been in the car business for 32 years. In that time I have seen many hot shots come and go. Hollenshead is one of a kind and still standing. Fifty two weeks a year he is in a different league with quality, volume, integrity, and really takes care of the dealers. Nobody comes close to "The King". I do not know how he keeps it up. What an animal.

 

 Peter Robinson, Brunswick Georgia

 

"We've purchased a lot of cars from Bob over many years. His quality, selaction, and prices :) are the best.

 

Alex- Y & L Auto Sound & Auto Sales Inc.

 

" The variety and amount of cars sold in one day is OUTRAGEOUS! Thanks Bob!"

 

Brian-EL Auto

 

" I know Robert for over 30 years. He is without question the best wholesale car dealer I have ever seen (and an unbelievable painter and his gardens are second to none). The Used Car Invoive process will change the way this business operates. When you listen to the theory and then use the product it is not just another idea. It is the future."

Mo Glidden- Boston Mass

 

" Thank you for your consideration with a recent matter regarding a vehicle I purchased form you. It is an unexpected pleasure to do business with a company such as yours. Again, I would just like to extend my appreciation and thanks for your help."

 

Bryan Kilby-Jones Junction

 

"I buy a lot of cars form Bob online, but most recently one that was a "Grade 2 Rough" rated car by Manheim. I got the car back to the store, and it was absolutely brand new! I made over $10,000 gross on that unit!! I'm not sure if Bob just gets the nicest "rough" cars on the planet, or if someone needs new glasses, but either way I trust Bob.

 

Mitch Paul-Price Toyota

 

" Bob's honesty and integrity are second to none. We've been buying from him for over 10 years, and I LOVE Used Car Invoice."

 

Mike-Tyson's Ford

 

"How this guy is able to do what he does 52 weeks per year for 30 years is inconceivable. He is the biggest asset Manheim Auction has to offer the dealer. We trust Robert completely. A legend in our time." Joe David Pacifico- The Pacifico Dealerships

"For 25 years , Bob has sold us many, many good, clean vehicles."

 

Tom Jenkins-Bramms Honda

 

"I have known Robert for over 30 years. This guy is a man of his word. When he says it, take it to the bank. It is almost impossible to find,buy, transport, recondition, and sell 450 cars per week. Our dealerships don't sell that many cars in three months. Manheim is lucky to have him, and so are the dealers he services. My hat is off to you."

 

John Gentile- The Family Dealerships, Phila. Pa

 

"I drive 8 eight hours one way to get to Manheim. I would not come if it were not for Robert. It's not just the cars he sells me, it's the way he treats me. Manheim won't pay for our hotel and dinner, so Robert does. I don't think Manheim knows what he means to that auction. Not only does he sell more cars than anybody, he treats us like he cares about us. When I have a problem he asks how much?..., not, what is it? I buy from Robert with total confidence.

 

Neil Ward, Raleigh,NC

 

"I come to Manheim every other week from Richmond Virginia. When I have a problem with a car I bought in other lanes including Ford and Toyota/Lexus, they treat me like shit. Robert not only does me right, he buys me dinner and a hotel room. Now that's a man that gets it.

 

George Minor- Richmond VA

 

"This Used Car Invoice thing is incredible. How did he think this one up. I use it to close deals, and get rid of cars that are too heavy for my lot. Now I am getting real leads that are packaged better than any other leads we buy. Keep it up Robert."

 

Neil DNL Auto

 

"Good prices, and good cars for over 10 years. Thanks Bob!"

 

Kaylors Gantae

Matt – Skip Pat Auto Group

 

"I couldn’t imagine an auto auction without lane 22 the cars, the food, the fun. Bob has kept me in business the last 5 years. Thanks Bob"

actually sell them"

 

JV Auto Consultants

 

" I buy primarily Toyotas, Hondas, and Infinitis, and Hollenshead's cars are always standing tall.

 

Renay-Jim Coleman Automotive

Ben

 

" I've been buying cars for 20 years from Hollenshead Auto Sales, and nobody even comes close to Bob, and his "Carnival" show. Thanks Bob!"
