ABOUT JCARS
A MODERN CAR DEALERSHIP
NOT YOUR TYPICAL USED CAR DEALER
JCARS was founded on the principal that we will not be part of the stigma associated with most used car dealers. ​We operate this business as our own private collection, ignoring the traditional norms and background noise of so many industry commentators. We buy cars we see value in, recondition them to maximize drivability and ownership pleasure, and represent them honestly and accurately to their next caretaker. We survive on repeat business and ongoing collection management.
​
"After many years in the franchise automotive business, it became very clear to me that not all dealers, brokers, influencers or even online auction platforms can be seen as equal. I've spent 10+ years absolutely obsessing over not only cars and their surrounding marketplace, but also the array of micro-factors that go into a satisfying (or disappointing) ownership experience. My mission is to provide a new perspective to car enthusiasts and collectors alike as to how they can improve their buying habits." - Jarod Arand, President
​
We are a modern car dealership, in a modern world. We have assembled a world-class team of successful enthusiasts with over 70 combined years of experience in the automotive business - fortunate to have transacted some of the worlds finest marques of investment-grade automobiles. We look forward to making your car the next.
"On every transaction, their honesty, professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional."

MEET OUR FOUNDER
"JCARS really started as a hobby for me. I grew up completely fixated on anything with a steering wheel. My childhood bedroom was filled top to bottom with posters, model cars, Motortrend magazines, anything car-related I could get my hands on. Obsessed would be an understatement, and it was just a matter of time before this hobby organically grew itself into a business.
​
My first role in the car business was as a lot-hand at my local Porsche dealership, detailing cars for delivery, shuttling around customers, and really just doing anything I could to be closer to the brand. I saved every penny I made and immediately dumped my spare change into cars. I kept buying, then trading up or selling to fund the next interesting car, and before I knew it, I had myself a business.
​
Spending every waking moment as a hobby car collector, obsessing over the minute details and nuances of every model. An entire life absolutely immersed in global car culture has given me an intimate insight into the needs and desires of my fellow enthusiasts. My goal is to bring our clientele deeper into this world by sharing a new perspective on car ownership.
I'm now incredibly fortunate to spend my days travelling the world, staying on top of trends, establishing new and meaningful connections with fellow enthusiasts in ever-changing environments, and forever expanding my knowledge of the automotive world. I look forward to sharing this passion with you." - Jarod Arand
