Autowest of Plainwell: A West Michigan Dealership Built on Community, Trust, and Quality
When people search for a used car dealership near Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Portage, or anywhere in West Michigan, they often expect the typical car-lot experience. At Autowest of Plainwell, we’ve spent the last 10 years building something far better — a dealership where honesty, transparency, and community impact come first.
Autowest isn’t just a place to buy a car. It’s a local, family-driven business that truly cares about the people we serve. Whether someone needs a reliable used car, a dependable truck, or a safe SUV for their family, we offer quality vehicles, fair pricing, and a customer-first approach that sets us apart from big-box dealers.
Our Mission: Fair Deals, Reliable Vehicles, Real People
At Autowest, our mission has always been simple:
“Sell reliable vehicles at fair prices, and treat every customer like family.”
We deliver on that mission by providing:
Quality vehicles that are inspected and ready for the road
Fair pricing backed by market research

Flexible approvals for all credit types
A pressure-free, honest buying experience
That’s why customers travel from Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Portage, Holland, Muskegon, and beyond to shop with us.
