Recently had a great experience buying a van from Eric. He was very friendly, fair and very knowledgeable.

I've bought a few cars from Eric. Every time he has been extremely easy going, very professional and fair. I would definitely recommend buying your next used car from him.

I truly can't recommend Eric enough! Buying a car was a steep learning curve for me and when I told him how hesitant I was about diving into the process he was patient, kind, and explained everything I needed to know. It was clear throughout the process that he wanted to find the best car for my needs, and he was very responsive via text/phone call. I am very wary of dishonesty when it comes to buying a car and he was completely transparent and reliable. Contact him if you're looking to buy a car, you won't regret it. Thank you, Eric!

I highly recommend Eric Holdsworth @ Portside Auto. My girlfriend has bought a couple vehicles from him and suggested I use his services to purchase a vehicle as well. I've always used larger dealerships and had some hesitations going to a more personal dealer. I thought I might feel more pressured to say yes to a vehicle that I may not truly want. Eric never made me feel that way and in fact, after giving him a fairly specific vehicle request, he found me the perfect vehicle at the fight price first try. Eric has in depth knowledge of autos and the buying process and he also made the purchase process very smooth. I'd highly recommend Portside Auto to anyone looking for a vehicle purchase.

Eric is the best! I have purchased 2 cars from him so far and recommended him to several other people. He got me exactly what I was looking for and is super easy to work with. Honest and does an amazing job. I can't recommend him enough! Thanks Eric!

I just bought my third car (late '16 Ford Escape) from Eric - to order, no less - I wanted a specific color and it had to have SYNC3. He got it. The last one (Honda Element, four years ago) took a while to find...but it was a stick shift, y'know? But he got exactly what I was looking for, each time. Easy, straightforward, and no car salesman b*llsh*t. Highly recommended.

I just bought my third car (to order) from Eric. Each time, he found exactly what I wanted, the price was very fair, and it was smooth and easy. No car salesman crap. One problem came up on the second car a bout a month after I got it four years ago, and he fixed it without hesitation. Three friends have also got their from him. No complaints from any of them, either. Cool guy, really knows his cars, but doesn't make you feel like an idiot for not knowing stuff.

I have purchased fourteen automobiles from Eric over the years, both personally and for my companies. I have also referred many family members and friends to Eric, all of whom have thanked me for introducing them to an ethical, trustworthy, hard working, intelligent and customer service-oriented car expert who makes the car buying experience a satisfying one. He serves as your agent, working on your behalf, scouting the market for the right car at the right price. And best of all, he makes sure that you know he is there after the sale to insure that everything is working as you expect, fully standing by his service.

We've bought at least five vehicles from Eric - trucks, Camrys, a Lexus - and they've all been great. The best car buying experience ever!

It is really rare to find a trustworthy car dealer- but that is exactly what Eric is. We were referred to him through a friend when we lived in the North Shore. He is straight and honest. We have purchased three cars through Eric, and even though we moved over an hour away we went back to him again to buy our recent suv. I have found if you just give him your budget and tell him what your priorities are, he will offer a few suggestions of what he is seeing a lot of at off lease auctions and what the best value for your money will be. And then he delivers exactly what he promises.

We bought a Subaru from Eric last summer. The whole experience was very pleasant, until the car didn't pass inspection for problems related to the ($1000) catalytic converter. Eric had his mechanic look at it and "fix" it. What that meant is that it passed inspection. Weeks later, we had to fix it for real. This summer, the front catalytic converter ($800) is going. That may be Subaru's fault, not Portside Auto's, but we have paid through the nose for this car, and the whole thing with the first cat smacked of shadiness.
