Auto Trends

My experience with Auto Trends was nothing short of amazing. I had been searching for a 2017+ GTR for a while and specifically wanted a built GTR to save on the cost of building one myself. I ended up landing a 2017 GTR Premium, fully built by Jotech Motorsports out of Dallas, TX. It's a Stage 6 build, dynoed at 1,277 whp, with just 23,000 miles on the car! The previous owner traded in this GTR to move into an even more built platform--which, to me, is just mind-blowing. I first came across the car through Chase Lautenbach, who advertised it in GTR-focused Facebook groups. Chase primarily deals with high-end exotics and supercars, and after speaking with him a few times, I felt much more comfortable with the idea of owning such a high-performance vehicle. Having zero experience with the GTR platform--let alone a car pushing well over 1,000 whp--this was a completely new world for me. Chase was incredibly patient and explained all the pros and cons, making me feel confident about what I was getting into. From there, Chase introduced me to Chris Parks, my sales representative at Auto Trends. Chris's customer service was absolutely next-level. From start to finish, he guided me through every step of the process--from the test drive to arranging shipment of the car to my home. His communication was exceptional; he kept me updated with emails, texts, videos, and pictures. His attention to detail and transparency were simply divine! Finally, I had the pleasure of meeting Justin Summers, the owner and car builder at Auto Trends. Justin is a true expert in his field, with years of experience building high-end cars. He's known for building some of the best cars in Denver and across the U.S. Justin spent time walking me through the technical and tuning aspects of the GTR, explaining how to operate and maintain the "monster" I was about to purchase. To ensure I was fully informed, Chris and Justin even reached out to Kenny, the owner of Jotech Motorsports, who built the car. Kenny personally contacted me to provide background on the build, explain how the MoTeC tuning software and map switching worked, and offer tips on maintenance and things to monitor. The entire process was seamless, from purchase to arranging enclosed trailer shipping directly to my home. This was, without a doubt, the best car-buying experience I've ever had--especially for a six-figure car. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. A huge thank you to Chase, Chris, and Justin for their outstanding service and support throughout this journey. You've set the bar incredibly high!
