How to find the Bob Howard location you need
Bob Howard Auto Group operates under different brand names at different locations. Each location typically specializes in one or two vehicle manufacturers. To find the right dealership, you need to know either the vehicle brand you are interested in or the service location nearest you.
You can search online for "Bob Howard [vehicle brand] Oklahoma City" or "Bob Howard service Oklahoma City" to find the specific location. Each dealership has its own phone number, website, and hours. Calling ahead is the fastest way to confirm whether they have the vehicle you want in stock, what their current service wait times are, or whether they can schedule you for maintenance.
Buying a new or used vehicle from Bob Howard
When you visit a Bob Howard location to purchase a vehicle, you will typically start by browsing inventory on the lot or asking a sales representative what is available. The sales team can show you vehicles that match what you are looking for and answer questions about features, condition, and pricing. If you find a vehicle you want, the next step is usually a test drive.
After the test drive, if you decide to move forward, you will work with the finance department to arrange payment. Bob Howard locations offer financing options, and the finance team will discuss loan terms, down payment, and monthly payments. You will also handle the trade-in of your current vehicle at this stage if you have one. The finance department will also explain warranty options and any add-on services. Once paperwork is signed and payment is arranged, the dealership will handle vehicle registration and title transfer with the Oklahoma Department of Motor Vehicles.
Getting service and maintenance at Bob Howard
Bob Howard service departments handle routine maintenance like oil changes, tire rotation, and filter replacement, as well as more complex repairs. If your vehicle is under warranty, you can bring it to the Bob Howard location that sells that brand for warranty work at no cost to you. If your vehicle is out of warranty, service departments still perform repairs and maintenance, though you will pay for parts and labor.
To schedule service, call the service department directly or visit the dealership's website to book an appointment online. Many locations offer drop-off service, meaning you can leave your vehicle and pick it up later, or you can wait in the service lounge while work is done. When you bring your vehicle in, have your keys, vehicle identification number (VIN), and any warranty paperwork ready. The service advisor will discuss what work needs to be done, provide an estimate, and let you know how long the repair will take.
Understanding financing and trade-in options
Bob Howard locations work with multiple lenders to offer financing for vehicle purchases. The finance department will review your credit, discuss loan terms, and calculate monthly payments based on the vehicle price, down payment, and loan length. Interest rates and terms vary depending on your credit history and the lender, so it is worth asking what options are available to you.
If you have a vehicle to trade in, the dealership will appraise it and explore its value toward the purchase price of your new vehicle. The trade-in value depends on the vehicle's age, mileage, condition, and current market demand. You do not need to have paid off your current vehicle to trade it in — the dealership can often pay off the remaining loan balance as part of the transaction. Bring your vehicle title and any loan paperwork so the finance team can process the trade-in smoothly.
What to bring when you visit Bob Howard
If you are shopping for a vehicle, bring your driver's license and proof of insurance. If you plan to finance the purchase, bring proof of income (recent pay stubs work well) and information about any existing debts. If you are trading in a vehicle, bring the title and any loan documents related to that vehicle.
If you are bringing a vehicle in for service, bring your keys, your vehicle title or registration, and your warranty paperwork if the vehicle is under warranty. If you have a service history from previous repairs, that can be helpful too. The service department will ask about the specific problem or maintenance you need, so be ready to describe any symptoms or concerns you have noticed.

Wait times vary by location and season. Call the service department directly to ask about current availability. Many locations can fit in routine maintenance within a few days, though major repairs may take longer. Some locations offer loaner vehicles while yours is being serviced.
Do I need to make an appointment for a test drive?

If your vehicle is under warranty, bring it to the Bob Howard location that sells that brand and they will repair it under warranty at no cost. If your vehicle is out of warranty, the service department can still repair it, and you will pay for parts and labor. Keep all service records in case warranty issues come up later.
