BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Spanish-first auto dealership “Avanza Autos” opened in south Bakersfield over the weekend.
The dealership is located at 5301 Gasoline Alley Dr.
Avanza Autos says it was created to better serve hardworking families in Bakersfield who may have been overlooked by traditional car-buying processes.
It says it focuses on finding transparent solutions for those facing financial or language barriers.
“In their native language, being able to explain exactly what goes through the process of buying a car, the contracts, all the lingo. It’s very clear. When someone has a question, we answer it on the spot,” said Albert Iribe of Avanza Autos.
Avanza Autos also says it has partnered with banks to remove lending obstacles, bringing transportation access for members of the community who need it most.
