Amador County – Longtime Prospect Motors Owner Frank Halvorson announced Thursday that he is now “providing Amador County and the region with a car-buying service for everyone.” Utilizing his 29 years of experience in the automotive industry, Halvorson has revamped his business to offer this specialized service after Prospect Motors in Martell closed last December. The 33-year-old dealership was well-known as a generous contributor within the community, and has generated a large portion of the city and county tax bases. Referring to his new business venture, Halvorson said there is a “significant movement for people first to find information online, and then eventually use the Internet as their portal to purchase.” While he admits people can still research and process on their own, Halvorson points out that he will utilize “29 years of contacts, dealer auctions unavailable to the general public as well as the many sources an individual may or may not have access to.” Halvorson’s car buying service can purchase at real time market values. He says he will utilize “used automotive inventory and pricing, as well as all rebates and offers from the manufacturers on new automotive makes and models to give customers the best options.” Halvorson works out of J&H Wholesale, 551 Highway 49, with his sales license.
