Second Car Center in
Derry Township (NH)

I purchased my car from Pete and Kevin. Love these two great gentlemen. Last Nov. Car is running perfectly and take it for my oil changes and inspection. Thanks fellas! Your the best!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough good things about Kevin at Second Car Center! He truly went above and beyond to help my daughter get her first car, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Kevin’s honesty, understanding, and exceptional communication stood out from the start. Unlike any salesman I’ve ever encountered, he genuinely cared more about our needs than pushing a sale. His dedication and heartfelt approach made all the difference, and we couldn’t be happier with the car or the service. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you like family and go the extra mile, Kevin is your guy. Highly recommend!

I’ve used Second Car Center for the last few years because of recommendations after moving up here from MA, and I couldn’t be happier I found this place. Pete is a very honest man who has helped me and my family out and given his honest opinion and advice many times, and I’ve never had a mechanic I’ve trusted more. His mechanics really care about their work, and it shows in the quality of their work. I highly recommend the service shop at Second Car Center! Thank you Pete and team!

I just bought my second vehicle Kevin an amazing salesman at Second Car Center. They treat you with nothing but respect and care Very much about doing the right thing and being legit, but still somehow can get almost anybody in a car for a good . both cars I’ve had have been amazing if I’ve ever had any issues gone back to them No questions asked They fixed the problem. I will most definitely Tell everybody about the place and I will be buying my next car from them and when my kids want a car, I will be going to them. They are the most legit place I’ve ever been to, and I’ve lived in six different states and bought a car in all of them.

Started coming here for service and maintenance after the local FB group recommended them for honesty/integrity. Amazing team, Peter the service manager is always friendly, repairs are done quickly and well, invoices are clear, prices are fair, diagnostics are accurate.

I bought a car from these guys, and got service multiple times. They were very professional, and did a great job for a great price. I won't hesitate to continue working with them, and recommend everyone else to do the same.

To say that these guys have been fantastic would be an understatement. After buying a car from them, I ran into some small issues and these guys have been incredibly flexible every step of the way and they've worked with me the whole time to make sure everything worked for me. I highly recommend looking here if you need a used car, it's a great staff all around.

Purchased my Lexus from Second Car Center and it was an excellent experience. Kevin, Alex, and Johan made the sale process seamless and they were all very knowledgeable. I have been servicing it there ever since - I won’t go anywhere else!

I had a fantastic experience purchasing a vehicle from Second Car Center last week Alex K. made the sale process so easy & seamless.Great communication, and prompt responses.This is my 3rd car I have purchased from (Peter & associates) over the years.Each one has proved to be a great choice for me. Extremely happy with my purchase, including the price & attention to detail they give in preparing the car for sale. Thank you.Highest recommendation for Second Car Center of Derry

I will never go anywhere else. My wife and I have had issues with both our vehicles, and bringing them here we've been quoted less for fewer repairs than anywhere else we've brought them. My wife had a couple of bearings making noise, one shop said she needed all 4 replaced. She brought the truck here and it turns out she only needed 2, and the cost per wheel was less as well. I needed a new bearing, and they completed the job same day, with an inspection, for $100 less than I was quoted elsewhere. Peter's guys are all business, and they've demonstrated on multiple occasions that they're going to do what needs doing, and no more, for what's likely the lowest cost around. It's rare to find a place like this, and they've earned my family's business for life at this point. Honestly would vote for Peter if he decides to run for office.

Great guys, really accommodating. My brother and I both have purchased vehicles from them. They stand behind what they offer. His wiper motor wasn't working. As a mechanic myself, and seeing how busy these guys are, its something simple to get overlooked, An honest mistake. Especially not being a common failure point on a newer vehicle. But with no song and dance , they took him back in right away, gave him a loaner, and offered him a few free oil changes for the inconvenience. Not many places would do that. I usually urge people to stay away from dealerships, But these guys are certainly an exception. Coming from someone with years of management in the industry myself, that should speak volumes. Highly recommend Kevin as your go-to. The owner seems like a great guy as well. Make Second Your Last ! (I'll take a royalty if that becomes slogan 😉)

Everything about this place is outstanding. Kevin was extremely helpful and honest with the purchase of my car and very easy to work with. the service department was by the far the best I’ve encountered anywhere. fixed the issue I had with it right away going above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I’ll definitely be recommending here to anyone I know looking for a high quality used car or any mechanic work they may need.

Had a great experience at SCC working with Kevin. He listened to me babble about cars endlessly every time I was at the lot. Let me test drive it at least three times as well. They had a fairly priced F-150, just what I needed for a junk hauler and errand runner. It's a used car place, not a new car dealer, so expect the bare bones. They'll fix anything that doesn't meet safety standards, throw in some gas, and give it a wipe down. Then you are on your own. You get the car sales shtick, and that's okay. Not a criticism, just setting your car shopping expectations :) They also offer a year of free oil changes, and they do car repairs. EDIT: Two years later and I still go here for oil changes, repairs and inspections on all three of my cars, and they are always an absolute pleasure and very helpful. I was also having an issue with the steering after the warranty ended, and they still took care of it! They have a TON of cars on the lot as well. So anyway, great place, so go check them out!

My wife and I purchased a 2006 Toyota Highlander from Kevin. We couldn’t be happier. We have had the car for about a month now and it has suited our family well and is running great. Kevin was super patient with us allowing us time to get into the vehicle we needed. We will definitely return when we require another.

My husband and I have taken our cars to Peter for at least 15 years. We know that we will get honesty, integrity and great service! This last time my car needed bodywork. Matt was very thoughtful of how much time it would take vs needing a rental. The repairs were done timely and the car looks great! I have had work done with other automotive dealers and shops in the past. There is no question that you want to trust the people that take care of your car. Second car is the place to go.

Peter, the General Manager, is a superstar!. He always is accommodating , polite, knowledgeable (should I go on??) and fair. My husband and I have taken our cars here for more than 10 years and will continue to return because of the stellar service. Kudos to Peter and staff, you all do a great job!

The BEST automotive service in Southern New Hampshire!! The relationship doesn't just end when your purchase the car, the service department will continue to help with anything service or maintenance. They're so trustworthy and honest, and I did not get the same warming feel with other automotive shops around. They saved me tons of money and helped me get my car back on the road so seamlessly. Not only that but they squeezed me in last minute just because I was in a jam due to work and my car needed a repair! They go ABOVE AND BEYOND! The owner is fantastic and honestly, I can rave about this company forever but this review would be pages and pages long! He fixed the problem so quickly because he knew the bind I was in. I am forever grateful to Second Car Center for getting me back on the road even though they were busy and probably had to spend extra time on my vehicle. If you're looking for a trustworthy place to purchase your vehicle and get service done, go to Second Car Center! They saved my job and really helped me so quickly and efficiently. Super fair and understanding. Thank you thank you thank you! We love you guys! -Jewelee Laws

We had an amazing experience at Auto shop services/second car center. We’ve been going to Pete for about 8 years now and have always gotten great service but today was above and beyond. I went in for an oil change, and he told me my tires needed to be rotated also (much appreciated as I have to travel this weekend). My son who has autism was with me and of course I left his headphones in my car that was already on the lift. The mechanic working on our car must have walked by and saw me holding my sons ears and offered us headphones and shut the door for us. It was so amazing and very much appreciated. Thank you!!! ❤️

Pete, Kevin and entire team are amazing. I've bought 2 vehicles off them and they stood by with Any issues that we had. Easy buying process and reliable service with reasonable prices. I wouldn't go anywhere else to buy a used vehicle!

What a diamond in the rough!!! Top notch service, honesty and integrity. Not only did we purchase 1; we purchased 2!!!! Kevin and Peter are solid businessmen who stand behind their word. We appreciate businesses like this who take care of their customers and don't sell you short. Above board all the way!!

Wish google allowed 10 stars, I'd give it to these guys. Peter and his crew are the best around. As honest and knowledgeable as they come. They are the best for service, as well as sales of quality used cars. Peter is extremely helpful with accident situations: he is experienced with insurance companies, he has a high-quality fleet of rental cars, and is the most honest sales and service professional we've known. I've referred many happy customers and family members, and they are all thankful.

Highly recommend this place! Alex and Kevin were awesome and so helpful. Alex got me the car I was interested in and Kevin worked with my mom and I on the paper work. They were super straightforward and worked with us to lower the price on the car and value my car for my trade in. The owner was also super nice and helped get the car ready to go for me to leave with it. Would but from them again! Note: all of their cars are over $5000. They’ll work with you on a price but that’s their bare minimum. However, the cars they have are quality. You get a year’s worth of oil changes. Definitely worth the prices for sure!

Thank you again to Alex & Kevin for making this car buying process super easy and working with me and my wife's credit. Straight forward let us know what he could do without any run around. Alex & Kevin got us into the car we wanted and my wife and i left there very pleased. I would 100% recommend Second Car Center.

Peter and his mechanics are the best. Extremely honest. They have been working on my vehicles since I moved to Derry in 2011. Great work & fair pricing. He has helped with get reimbursed for bad work that mazda did on my vehicle when it was covered under warranty. He's been honest with me when I thought I needed something that I didn't. He very easily could have just replaced it and charged me for it when I didn't need it. I highly recommend them. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

This place is as great and honest as a used car shop can be. The owner Pete genuinely cares about the customers and is super friendly. I bought my last car at this shop and it ran great for me up until someone hit me and totalled it. I bought a new car from Subaru in Manchester and I still take my car here for oil changes. If I ever need a used car again or repairs on my car that the dealership won't cover, I'll be going here. Reasonable prices, quality work, and great genuine people!

Just back from a 5-star experience at Second Car Center. Peter is welcoming and personable, the shop is clean, the mechanics are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I was there for a sticky driver's window, and not only was it fixed quickly, they opened up the passenger side door to check for early signs of the same issue (found and fixed also). They even took the time to show me where the problem was. I can't recommend them highly enough. You will not find more honest, thorough and friendly service anywhere.

This is by far the best car experience I have encountered. They were extremely helpful and easy to work with. Very flexible. Dale took outstanding care of us, was patient and was dedicated to getting my husband into the vehicle he loved. The owner Peter, I can't speak highly enough about, he was friendly, felt like we knew him forever! These two took very good care of us. I also want to thank the service team for a fast turnaround time in servicing my husbands new truck!!! Keep up the great work!!
