Louis Motors, located on Route 119 two miles north of Connellsville, is a reputable used car sales and service facility that has been serving the public for 29 years. Lou Dalessio, owner, prides himself with having clean, quality, competitively-priced used vehicles with warranties, which reassures the customer that the used vehicles they purchase are in the best condition. There are always 50 or more cars and trucks to choose from.

This time of year is usually an excellent time for sales due to tax refunds. Restocking becomes the main priority to ensure a good inventory for buyers.

Dalessio attributes his success to several factors. One is the "Buy Here Pay Here" program he instituted at Louis Motors 16 years ago. "It allows people with bad or slow credit due to divorce, bankruptcy or other factors a second chance at rebuilding their credit and getting a car," explains Dalessio. The program requires a small down payment and reasonable monthly payments thereafter. He says the program, along with a larger portion of business done by paying outright, has been a formula for success for him.

Another reason Dalessio feels customers visit Louis Motors is offering "decent quality cars at reasonable prices."

Dalessio selects used cars from new car dealer trade-ins, individuals and other sources, and once they are at the Connellsville dealership, they are completely serviced by Louis Motor's staff.

Car shoppers will always find a diverse selection at Louis Motors.

Last, but most important to Dalessio, is service. "Customer satisfaction always comes first," states Dalessio. "You get my personal attention regardless of the problem or when it occurs."

Because of Louis Motor's reputation for quality and service, a significant portion of their clientele comes from referrals from other satisfied customers.

An in-house notary, temp plates and title services are also available on the premises. In the very near future, the service department will expand services to the public due to the business growth and popular demand for all minor repairs, oil changes, quick lube, brakes repair, exhaust work, etc. Nobody beats Louis Motors, deals and service.

Not in the market for a vehicle now• How about customizing the one you have?

Dave's Total Image Mobile Electronics has been located alongside Louis Motors' offices, adjacent to the car lot since 1988.

Total Image, owned by David Dalessio, is a mobile electronics store that specializes in car stereos, mobile DVD video entertainment systems, car alarm and remote starting systems, custom lighting and neon, keyless entry systems, navigation systems and video surveillance systems.

"We are entering the custom home theatre business with projection and flat screen technology along with 5.1 and 7.1 audio systems," says David Dalessio. "Also available are whole house distributed home audio systems which enable you to enjoy sound anywhere in the home. "

Dave's Total Image Mobile Electronics provides professional installation of everything mentioned in anything land, air or sea.

This shop is unique because of the custom work they provide that most stereo shops cannot do.

"We make it look like it was completely factory," says Dalessio. He explains they begin installing stereo systems with custom fiberglass "subwoofer boxes" to ensure a perfect fit, and cover the enclosures with factory-matched vinyl or fabric. Total Image also creates custom center consoles, again making it impossible to tell they weren't part of the original interior.

Another service that sets them apart is their ability to create a complete design for the accessories their customers choose -- such as the neon kits, stereo, security -- combining them into an integrated system.

This custom work has won Dalessio awards for sound quality and expert installation of stereo design. Dalessio's expertise has won him customers from not only local communities, but also the Pittsburgh area, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia.

"Customer satisfaction is our number one priority. There is always service after the sale," says Dalessio.

Dalessio and his staff are all trained, knowledgeable and certified in the diverse products they sell. Dalessio has had several years of schooling and maintains an MECP (Mobile Electronics Certification Program) certification. As an authorized dealer of all the products in the shop, Total Image is able to offer full warranties.

Total Image maintains a full inventory of products and aids customers with no interest layaways, 90 days same as cash, and financing help for those who need it.

In the market for a good used vehicle or just want to customize the one you have, phone Lou or Dave Dalessio at 724-628-7777 or 724-628-TIME. The vehicle inventory can be viewed on the Web site at www.louismotors.com.
