My experience doing business with Ted has been great. Most recently he facilitated the sale of my BMW convertible and several years ago sold a Sunbeam for my husband. Ted is professional, congenial, and has been a pleasure to work with. I can vouch for his integrity and his genuine regard for each customer he works with and for. Whether you are buying or selling, you couldnt find a better guy to do business with. And to top it off, he is darn good at what he does.

I have purchased two motorcycles from Ted as well as had him sell my Porsche for me. He also helped facilitate the sale of my Triumph Thruxton to a buyer on the East Coast. There is no one I would trust more to buy a used bike from. There is also no one I would trust more to sell my used vehicle. He is honest. He is deeply knowledgeable of the used vehicle market. He also takes on some of the most gorgeous two and four wheeled vehicles on the market today. Ive seen everything there from collectible exotics to pedestrian transportation. They all get good representation in his hands. I highly recommend this shop and it doesnt matter what gender, race. or belief system you adhere to, Ted will make sure he does right by you.

Went today with cash in hand. Guy refused to start up the bike for me. I told him I wanted to hear how it sounded, he tells me it will make me wet. That was inappropriate. He also refused to let me sit on the bike. Said he thought I didnt look strong enough to hold it up. I told him I would just leave and he shouted out that I didnt look like I could afford the car next to the bike when I drop the bike. I left feeling he doesnt sell Bikes to women because he feels we are weak. I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially women.

Absolutely the best car buying experience I have ever had in my life. Ted was so nice, he explained everything about the Jeep we were purchasing. I have never in my life met a more honest car salesman. If I could give a 10 Star I would. Everything went so smooth and fast. Not the BS you get with big car dealership. Ted is your guy. I will tell everyone what a great experience we had. Love my 1997 Jeep Wrangler.

Purchased my 93 R32 GT-R from Ted and could not be happier. It was in amazing shape and Ted was more than transparent and honest with me about the car as a whole. Best car buying experience I have ever had in my life. When I made the 7 hour drive to pick it up, the car was ready and good to go all the way back home.A high quality man, selling high quality cars. Could not be happier.

Have known Ted a couple of years now. First when selling my husbands bikes, which needed someone who saw what they had been and where they could go. That was Ted He handled everything and got a great price. So when the time came to sell the Defender; no doubt, I called Ted. The selling of this vehicle was a bit more complicated. But I did not have to do one thing. He handled everything. Laughing at me all the way. Ted is up front honest and extremely knowledgeableThanks again Ted for everything

I highly recommend Automania if you need to sell a classic car. I didnt want the hassle of having people come to my house much less letting complete strangers test drive my car. Ted took care of all the details and got me exactly the price I wanted for it.

Listed my sports car on ebay, craigslist and Cargurus. Not much interest. The offers we did get were very low. Tried Ted at Automania. Ted was able to sell the car within weeks at a good price. Happy.

Contacted them from a Craigslist ad. Spoke with Ted from the beginning he was nothing but professional & courteous. Through our whole dialogue I felt he was being honest and forthcoming with any and all knowledge of the motorcycle I was interested in. I drove 604 miles round trip to pick up the motorcycle. I was very pleased with the price, item and customer service I received from Automania.... A pleasure to do business with !

I had Automania sell my restored 1960 VW bus. They ended up selling it for far more than I had thought and were very transparent about the whole process. They took care of everything: brokering, payments, shipping etc. Super easy process for selling a high value vehicle and I didnt have to worry about being scammed. I didnt have to do any work! Highly recommended. Shop is very professional, clean and secure. They know a lot about various cars including my old VW. I would not hesitate to sell another vehicle with them.

Ive used Automania several times to sell Motorcycles and a trailer. Both experiences were excellent. The process was smooth, communication was excellent, and the price was very fair for the service provided. Financially I did as well selling on commission with Automania as if I had sold the vehicles myself, and without all the hassle!

Ive worked closely with Ted over the years and have always had an honest and forthright experience. Automania offers a great selection with insightful product detail. Additionally, Ted is transparent and extremely professional in all interactions and transactions. I highly recommend Automania to anyone seeking a streamlined consignment purchase.

Ted at Automania was fantastic to deal with when helping me settle a complicated estate with multiple vehicles! He made the selling process seamless for me, the Estate received a better value for the vehicles than if I were to try and sell them myself, and it saved me all of the lost title / title transfer issues and hassle of meeting with multiple potential buyers. He was upfront and honest in his communications with me and I appreciate his integrity!

I bought my BMW (K1600) from Ted about a month ago and the experience was great. Ted was very responsive and upfront about everything. I did buy the bike sight unseen against my better judgement but after several conversations, dozens of pictures and a recommendation from the local BMW dealer, my mind was put at ease. Ted was easy to deal with and there was never any pressure. Id be more than willing to do business with Ted/Automania again. Thanks for the honesty and making the whole experience an enjoyable one, Ted!

Im in the UK and bought a motorcycle they had advertised over the phone. From the first contact everything went smoothly. Ted was very efficient liaising with the shipper and doing any paperwork needed. Went that extra bit to help getting the bike part way to San Diego. Really friendly and easy to deal with would happily do business with them again.

These guys are great. They had a motorcycle listed on their website I wanted to purchase, but their were closed for the Holidays from 12/23/18 to 1/2/19.I was able to get them on an after hours phone number and after a brief conversation they agreed to open on 12/26/18 to let me pick up the motorcycle. Everything went smooth as silk. They have a great selection of top quality cars and motorcycles, rare and exotic as well. Very knowledgeable and a real pleasure to do business with. Please check them out, l will certainly be doing business with them in the future.

Absolutely fantastic experience selling my Harley Davidson Freewheeler through Automania LLC !! Ted and Paul were a pleasure to do business with, every aspect of the transaction went so smoothly .... one of the best business experiences ever. They also take care of the customer whether you are the seller or the buyer they treat you and the merchandise the way they would care for it if it were their own or if you were family. I felt completely confident that I had found the right company to sell my Harley!! Not to mention how quickly they were able to find the right buyer!! A win-win for everyone! Kudos to Automania LLC, I highly recommend them! Thanks again Ted and Paul ... youre the best. Check them out for high quality motorcycles, collectible cars and more !!

Ted sold a motorcycle and later on a car for me. His knowledge of both vehicles was amazing and his honest appraisal of worth of the two was spot on. His appropriate pricing helped sell both in a very short period of time. He took care of all the paperwork making it a simple and carefree experience for me. I can’t give enough praise for my dealings with Automania

Ted and the Automania team assisted me for many years. I consigned vehicles and bought vehicles. The honesty and friendly atmosphere makes it a pleasure to do business with Ted. He is also a cyclopedia of motor vehicles and never hesitated to share his wisdom and saved me many times to buy something frivolously. The crew are straight shooters and will tell you exactly what they think about your vehicle. I appreciate that and leave with a grateful heart, Thomas

Shady shop- be aware. Bought a vehicle from them, before driving off the lot one of the guys said the catalytic converter could go as soon as you drive it away but its still a great vehicle. In my head I knew that there was truth in his statement, but still got it for a decent price. I wasnt surprised when the check engine light went on about a week later and when I had the codes scanned, what do you know-the catalytic converter was under-performing. I still have a great vehicle otherwise, but these guys should do better. In the age of Google and Yelp, dont pull sleazy moves like turn the check engine light off and then admit it to their customers!

So I bought a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am C/E from Automania back in Sept 2018 . I have never written a review before but I am starting to base my purchase decisions on reviews more & more so I finally signed up for a Goggle account . This car was advertised online, I live in Alberta Canada so everything was done by pictures and verbal communication, I’ve done this before & it can be a extremely frustrating experience. I can honestly say that this was a pleasant experience because for me the two things I need to make my decision is communication & HIGH QUALITY PICTURES of the good & the bad (very good communication & pictures). So I called Automania to discuss, Ted was first to answer he said there’s a little cosmetic damage underneath so some good pictures while car was on hoist were sent . Called back Paul answered this time and he mentioned the same issue so I do appreciate the honesty from them both . Talked with Ted many times on the phone always pleasant & quick to call back . So my wife & I made the 1100 mile trip to pick up the car, very nice drive, spent a couple of days in Grants Pass ( beautiful little city) . Met Ted & Paul at the shop nice good old blue jean guys . I am very picky with my cars, this car was all that I expected. So thanks Ted & Paul also give my thanks to the previous owner & let her know that the car has a nice warm easy life in Canada again . Keep up the good work guys, always be honest with every detail and you will do well. God bless Joe

Ted and Paul were both great when I came down to buy a bike. Paul - knowing I was going to take a trip - mounted the soft luggage for the first time before I even showed up. And when I had an issue with the older battery a couple days later Ted offered to come pick me up. In my experiences with them both then and since, they do all they can to ensure that both buyers and sellers are treated well and fairly. Its a bonus that they are knowledgeable and professional too. I cant recommend Automania enough. If you find a bike you like, ask all the questions you need to, and if all is good dont hesitate to drive or fly in and ride home.

Ted was great to work with. Put a deposit down to hold the bike I wanted, drove down a few days later and after about 30 minutes I was ready to leave. Quick and easy and fun. Was I bought the bike and glad I met Ted.

Killer photos on the walls...and high-class inventory on the floor. I NOW understand why so many people have told me about this place. They strive to remove emotions from their sales process...but the funny thing is that their humility and desire to make a great fit for great vehicles ends up endearing people to their company. I give Paul and that guy Ted my highest customer confidence rating.

Ted at Automania jumped through hoops for me to accommodate the pick up of a bike which had some delays in scheduling. The description of the bike was very accurate and honest. I would not hesitate to do business again if the opportunity arises.

One of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met when it comes to cars and motorcycles. Interesting sense of humor, but went out of his way to put the deal together and get the vehicle to us in So Cal. Based on my experience, I would very much trust Ted Holman in dealings of this nature. Great experience.

Has a great invatory in his shop. And Ted is always smiling and joking around. I come in to look at the new inventory constantly. He knows a lot about all the bikes and cars in the shop and wants to try to get the right bikes to the right people.

I recently contracted automania in grants pass to sell a collector car for me. I was impressed with Teds candor and honesty about selling the car from the first time I spoke with him. He kept me honestly informed about everything he was doing to market the car and was always very careful to make sure I understood everything. I cant give the business less the the best of recomendations for professional conduct and doing everything fairly and honestly. Great job to you all. My car sold and everything went well for everyone. Thumbs up to Ted for a great job well done. Thank you again.

They were extremely helpful, honest, and by the end of my few hour stay, I felt like someone who had been dealing with them for years.They made purchasing this car, helping with shipping, and making sure i was happy, a wonderful experience. Thanks guys.

I have known the owner of Automania GP, Ted Holman, for over 35 years. During this time he has helped me sell multiple motorcycles. He has treated each sale with care, always being concerned that the buyer & seller where treated fairly. I also have had the pleasure working with Ted as instructors for Reg Pridmores Class Schools. His dedication to the students, fellow instructors and Reg is unparalleled.

I have used Automanica to sell two BMW motorcycles and a motorcycle trailer. My ex has used Automania to sell a Honda motorcycle and a Porsche. She and I have also taken CLASS - in her case prior to meeting Ted. I have no doubt that Ted Holman is honest and willing to share his expertise. To his comment of gruff exterior on the web page I can only say tis true. I will go so far as to say he does not suffer fools gladly. Its my experience that Ted is honest, forthright, insightful, helpful, knowledgeable and even kind. Given all the givens Ted can even be patient. I welcome the next opportunity to buy a classic vehicle or motorcycle though the services of Automania. Roger H

About three weeks ago. I put a significant deposit down, (thousands) on a 15k vintage superbike. Terms were 30 days to pay balance.About 2 weeks in to the 30 days, life threw me a curve. I Contacted Ted and Paul.They tried to get me an additional 90 days....which did not work for the consignor. When that was not going to happen, they processed a refund of my complete deposit the next day.There was no trying to sell me something cheaper, there was no guilting me into anything or any hesitation in making things right by me.I have aquired about 30 bikes from private parties and businesses over the past few years. If everyone had the character of these two gentleman....the world would be a better place.They are Honest and straightforward.My inability to perform, was personally embarrassing to me.They never had any negative comments, and treated my situation like a professional should.I will go out of my way to do business with them in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.SincerelyFrancis Vollaro

Just bought a motorcycle through Automania in Grants Pass 11/1/2021. They set the bar across the board for what I consider the perfect customer experience. From the moment I reached out and inquired about the bike, Ted was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, not only about the bikes background, but in walking me through the entire purchasing/delivery process. It could not have been more seamless and made the whole experience a real pleasure. His attention to detail and my satisfaction was unparalleled- going above and beyond in every aspect! Thanks Ted for hooking me up with such a gorgeous badass bike!Robert, Beaverton Or
