About Ralph's Auto Center

Ralph’s Auto Center is a family owned and operated dealership that has served the New Bedford, Massachusetts area for over 50 Years. We were founded by Ralph Medeiros SR. in 1957 and known to the community as Ralph’s Auto Sales. Great pride has always been taken in the quality, appearance, and authenticity of all of the vehicles we sell. This applies for the vehicles we service as well. When you purchase on a vehicle at Ralph’s feel confident we will treat you as family. We maintain a full service repair department, and being a former Chrysler Group dealership all of our technicians are factory trained and possess many of the tools not typically available to a pre-owned dealership. For the past 40 plus years we were a franchised dealer with many different brands, this has provided us with many years of knowledge to be the best that we can in serving the needs of you the customer. We look forward to doing business with you maybe not just today but for years to come.

"Just picked up a used Corolla for one of my 4 sons who earned the title of U.S. Marine earlier this year. He is currently based in N. Carolina. The base itself is huge, and without a car, it’s definitely hard to get around inside it, never mind going off base to the surrounding city. This car was 6 years old with low mileage. David was easy to deal with. He definitely took care of me and made sure the car got new tires and was clean, prepped, and serviced when I picked it up earlier today. The car is like brand new and looked even better than when I took it for a test drive last week!! I’ve sent my Marine pictures and videos of it and he is grateful and excited for my wife and one of his brothers to bring it down to him over July 4th weekend. 🇺🇸 David, his nephew Andy, and Tammi, are nice people. A family owned business for years. I highly recommend this dealership if you are looking for a reasonably priced used car for yourself or a new young driver in your household. I will definitely check with them for another car for one of my other sons who recently got his license and will be working all summer saving up for a car of his own. 👍"

"My experience with Ralph’s Auto Center was exemplary. From meeting with Andy’ Godfather, who let me test drive their vehicle. Andy & Tammi - for the sale & purchase and the paperwork. Made the transactions as smooth as possible. The mechanic, who likes Lincoln cars, that Tammi sent to pick me up to get my vehicle. The key guy, who was hilarious, fabricated & tested the 2nd key fob before we left the lot. Top notch service! Highly recommended!! Definitely, worth the trip!!!"

"Never been to a more straight forward car dealership. Everything was extremely transparent and there was no pressure. All the other dealerships I went to felt like dealerships. At Ralphs, I didn't have that weird sales feeling. No gimmicks or anything. Andrew was great, and, a month later, I'm still happy with my Accord."

"This place had it easy. They sold me my first car, which I am going to love no matter what. Where I give them credit is they sold me a great first car that I have a reason to love. As much as I don't want them too. They will be selling me my inevitable second car."

John Baszak

"Just stopped by to check out a used vehicle. Andrew sells great quality used cars....and he stands behind them. Did business a few years ago....perhaps soon again."
