Barry Sanders Supercenter is excited to raise money alongside Hyundai to help children fight cancer. The money earned through Hyundai Hope On Wheels enables research into pediatric cancer prevention and raises awareness for child cancer. You can join Hyundai in the fight to prevent child cancer by donating money, spreading the word, and/or purchasing a new Hyundai vehicle with Barry Sanders Supercenter! 

So far this month, Hyundai has presented 5 hospitals across the country with hundreds of thousands of dollars in Grants to support pediatric cancer research. 

Through these Grants, Rady Children's Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Uh Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, and Heroes-Columbia University Irving Medical Center will be able to raise awareness and enhance their research. 

This September, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has also announced partnerships with Us Youth Soccer and WWE to promote awareness for pediatric cancer.

Barry Sanders Supercenter in Stillwater has been recognized as a CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer six times based on customer reviews.

Six Years Running: Barry Sanders Supercenter Earns CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer Award AGAIN

Barry Sanders Supercenter has earned the CARFAX Top-Rated Car Dealer Award for the sixth time. The CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer Award is determined solely by authenticated customer feedback tied to real transactions. Six consecutive recognitions reflect the consistent standard of trust and transparency that Barry Sanders Supercenter has built with customers. If you've ever bought a car and thought, "I actually trust these people",  you know how rare that feeling is. At Barry Sanders Supercenter in Stillwater, Oklahoma, that feeling isn't an accident. It's a track record. For the sixth time, Barry Sanders Super Center has been named a CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer. This is one of the most credible, customer-driven recognitions for car dealers in the automotive industry. Local Stillwater Car Dealership, Nationally Recognized At Barry Sanders Supercenter, we’re proud of this recognition. More than the award itself, we're proud of what it represents. Winning once is a good year. Winning six times means our customers have consistently walked away satisfied, told CARFAX about it, AND kept the rating high year after year. That's not one great salesperson or one standout month. That's our entire team! It’s our employees on the lot, behind the desk, and in the service department, showing up the same way every single day. It's a reflection of the culture we've built here in Stillwater, and the standard we hold ourselves to whether the cameras are on or not. We believe buying a car shouldn't feel like a battle. It should feel like a conversation with people you can trust. Six CARFAX Top-Rated awards tell us our car dealership is getting that right. What Is CARFAX? If you've ever bought or sold a used car, you've probably heard the words "pull the CARFAX." Founded in 1984, CARFAX has become the gold standard for vehicle history reporting. The company that tells buyers whether a car has been in an accident, had its odometer tampered with, or changed hands more times than it should have. CARFAX isn't just about vehicle history anymore. They've expanded into dealer accountability, giving car buyers a way to evaluate the car dealerships themselves, not just the cars on the lot. What Makes The CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer Award Different? A lot of car dealerships hang plaques on their walls, won by a panel of judges or marketing committees. However, the CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer Award is earned entirely through verified customer ratings and reviews. The 2025 honorees averaged a 4.6 out of 5 stars across more than 10.6 million verified consumer ratings nationwide. That's not a sample size you can play. Gregg Cleary, Chief Revenue Officer at CARFAX, put it plainly: this recognition "reflects real customer experiences and highlights dealerships built on trust and transparency." Barry Sanders Supercenter didn't just make the list. We’ve been on it six times! Why Car Dealership Awards Matter To You Shopping for a car is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make, and it can also be one of the most stressful. Hidden fees, pressure tactics, and vague answers have given the industry a reputation it's still working to shake. That's exactly why consistent recognition like this is worth paying attention to. When a car dealership earns this award not once, not twice, but six years in a row, it tells you something that no ad campaign can: the customers keep coming back, and they keep saying good things.

There are many reasons why you should choose to buy a pre-owned car through a dealership rather than from a private seller.

Reasons to Choose a Car Dealer for Your Next Used Car

Choose a car dealer for their quality reputation, negotiations, transparency, tax benefits, and more vehicle choices. At car dealers, you can expect knowledgeable staff members to help you choose the right vehicle, explore finance options, and ensure you get the vehicle you want. Barry Sanders Supercenter carries a wide selection of new and used vehicles in numerous makes and models at affordable prices. Now, in 2022, is the time to start looking at used vehicles for your next car purchase. The automotive industry is still reeling from the chip shortage that has affected auto makers, as well as other distribution disruptions created by COVID-19. Gently used vehicles are now one of the smartest purchase decisions an individual can make when looking into buying a car, truck, or SUV.  When it comes to actually purchasing a used vehicle, you should put your trust in a dealer that will be able to provide you with the customer satisfaction you deserve. Keep reading to learn reasons to choose a car dealer for your next used car rather than buying from a private seller. 5 Reasons To Choose a Car Dealer Here are 5 reasons why you should choose a car dealer when deciding on a used car purchase: 1. Quality Reputation Buying a new car from anywhere other than a dealer is putting you at risk. For instance, a private seller will not have the capability to ensure the safety and reliability of a used car the same way that dealers do. Dealerships are able to provide used cars that have been inspected by a team of fully qualified technicians, and certain larger dealerships can even offer you a warranty on your used vehicle purchase. Who doesn’t like knowing that their investment is protected? 2. Car Price Negotiations Buying a used car from a dealer enables you to have more power over your financial situation once you choose which used vehicle to buy. The dealer has the financial backing to ensure that you get a vehicle that is priced right where you need it to be. Private sellers will not be able to be nearly as flexible as dealers and you may end up paying more than you would at a dealership. Additionally, car dealers are able to work with many different pre-existing financial situations to get you the lowest price on a used vehicle. They are perfectly suited to be the middleman between you and a lending institution to get you the best rate, the best term-length, and the best payments on a used car. 3. More Vehicle Variety When choosing a dealer, you get the ability to have varieties of years, makes, and models that you would not have if you went outside of a dealership. We have all run into a situation where we do our research and test drive a vehicle we thought would be a great fit, but it’s nothing like we had expected. A private seller cannot switch you out of that used vehicle and into a better used car option to better fit your needs the way a dealership can. A car dealer is a one-stop-shop when it comes to getting you into a used vehicle that is right for you. 4. Transparency When you purchase a used vehicle from a dealership, you are unknowingly receiving a level of transparency that other sellers cannot provide. Consumers are protected under laws that dealers must follow as well as providing the documentation of a used car's maintenance history and reported accidents. The transparency you get from a dealer when buying a used car will help put you at ease over your purchase decision. 5. Tax Benefits Did you know that you have a tax break coming on a trade-in that you would not get anywhere else? Not that many people are aware that when you trade your vehicle into a dealership, you are entitled to trade-in savings tax break. This tax savings could be worth hundreds of dollars that you save when you choose to buy a used vehicle from a dealer rather than a private party. Shop at Barry Sanders Supercenter Dealership When you choose a car dealer for your used vehicle purchase, you get a level of quality reputation that is unmatched. You also get the ability to negotiate more on pricing, a much wider range of used vehicles to choose from, transparency that ensures repeat business, and tax breaks that cannot be provided elsewhere. Now I may not be a genius, but when it comes to buying a used car, the dealership experience seems to be the obvious choice. Looking for a wide selection of used vehicles? Look no further than Barry Sanders SuperCenter. Our dealership team is proud to serve you as you look into our extensive inventory of used vehicles.

Testing New Safety Features Alerting Driver of Emergency Vehicles

Updated Safety Features for RAM, Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge set the new standard for the safety of future drivers. Official National Highway Traffic Reports that there has been a major increase in accidents which has prompted auto brands to increase their vehicle's safety features. Find vehicles with advanced safety features for sale at Barry Sanders Supercenter in Stillwater, OK. In a recent news release, Stellantis reports that testing is currently being done on safety features to alert drivers of nearby hazards. The initial test will include vehicles such as RAM, Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge. The automaker is pairing up with HAAS Alert to test this system which would be sending emergency alerts directly to these vehicles. A warning system would give drivers an initial warning of potential hazards. A warning would also be sent to police, fire, and emergency vehicles. Even when a vehicle is miles away, this system gives real-time updates through the Safety Cloud. Stellantis is currently exploring the benefits of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) Platforms and how to inform these drivers of potential hazards. This system would not only give drivers these alerts on the road, but also at every intersection. This computer system tracks this type of activity on a grid like platform. It then sends a message to all vehicles nearby. It would be essential for a system like this one to require a huge wireless network to make all of this possible. The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is partnering with Stellantis to power this overall system. Testing with 5GAA will occur with vehicles that have Uconnect. Notification Warning System Safety Features This specific program is one of two warning systems that is undergoing tests. Automakers all over the world are constantly competing in many ways. This emergency system will “pave the way for autonomous technology”. Self driving systems, and those alike, are ways technology is ever-changing. These features make these vehicles safer and more user friendly. This new Safety Cloud feature will alert drivers using the Uconnect system when responding emergency vehicles or different types of roadway hazards appear nearby. A system like this would ultimately decrease the amount of wrecks. The Future of America's Roads A recent report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that the amount of crash fatalities  in the first half of this year had the largest six month increase ever. A notification warning system would ultimately be a very positive addition to many of these popular vehicles. Fire, police, and emergency medical service vehicles also have a high number of crashes. One issue that ultimately comes with the amount of technology in our world today is the amount of distracted drivers on the road. HAAS Alert CEO stated that lights and sirens are not always enough of a warning for some drivers. He goes on to say “Between mobile devices, advanced infotainment systems and other modern innovations, drivers today are more distracted than eve.” Barry Sanders Supercenter Is Concerned About Your Safety Barry Sanders Supercenter cares about the safety of all of their customers.
