Luther Automotive<\/span><\/a> has been named a top car dealership in two separate 2026 readers’ choice programs, receiving recognition in the Star Tribune’s Minnesota’s Best program and winning Gold for Auto Dealership in Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s Best of the Twin Cities Readers’ Poll.<\/span><\/p>\n

The awards reflect consumer voting rather than industry panel selections. Readers of both publications chose Luther from among competing dealerships across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro and greater Minnesota region. For a dealership group that has operated in the state for generations, the recognition signals that longtime customers continue trusting the organization with their automotive needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Being recognized by Minnesota consumers in both of these programs is especially meaningful because it reflects the trust our customers have placed in Luther,” said Brennan Brooks, Vice President of Marketing at Luther Automotive. “We want to provide that same trusted experience whether someone is buying a vehicle, servicing a vehicle, trading one in, or simply looking for a convenient way to sell their car.”<\/span><\/p>\n

That final option has become increasingly relevant as more vehicle owners explore alternatives to traditional private sales. Listing a car online, fielding inquiries from strangers, arranging test drives, and negotiating with buyers who may or may not show up takes time and introduces uncertainty. National online car-buying companies have emerged to fill the gap, but many consumers remain wary of shipping their vehicle to an unfamiliar organization or accepting sight-unseen offers that change at the last minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luther Automotive offers a middle path through <\/span>LutherBuysCars.com<\/span><\/a>. The platform lets Minnesota vehicle owners enter their car information and receive a value estimate online within seconds. Owners can then schedule an appointment at a nearby Luther location or arrange for vehicle pickup, depending on what works best for their situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process accommodates different needs. Someone trading a vehicle toward a purchase at one of Luther’s dealerships can use the platform to understand their trade-in value before visiting. Someone who simply wants to sell, with no intention of buying another vehicle from Luther, can do that too. The organization purchases cars outright regardless of whether the seller becomes a buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with an established local dealership group changes the dynamic compared to transacting with a company headquartered in another state. Luther operates physical locations throughout Minnesota. Staff members live in the communities they serve. If something goes wrong or a question arises after the sale, a local presence exists to address it. That accountability matters to vehicle owners who have heard stories about online transactions that went sideways.<\/span><\/p>\n
