Donald Shannon opened Abhinandan Motors in 2003 with a borrowed bay, a flatbed and a notebook full of the names of folks looking for a fair pre-owned car. Two decades later, the notebook has been replaced by a database — but the philosophy hasn't changed.
We still hand-pick every vehicle. We still know our customers by name. And we still believe that the best advertisement is a buyer who tells their neighbor, "go see Donald."
Today the dealership is run day-to-day by Neel and a team of four, with Donald still on the lot most mornings, coffee in hand, walking the rows.
If it can't pass our 147-point inspection, it doesn't get a windshield price.
The number on the windshield is what you pay. No fees added at the desk.
Carfax, AutoCheck and our own service notes are available before you sign.
If something goes wrong in the warranty period, we make it right — fast.
No high-pressure tactics. No back-and-forth to the manager. Ever.
We bank locally, hire locally, and sponsor youth sports across Madison County.
Donald has been buying, inspecting and selling vehicles in Central New York for over 25 years. He still personally appraises every trade-in that comes through the door.
Neel runs the day-to-day at Abhinandan Motors and is the person you'll most likely speak with when you reach out by email or phone. neel@abhinandanmotors.com
