Wheels and Deals began with a single dream in mind: to be different while providing an experience that would resonate with customers. It would become a place to send family and friends, a place where they would be proud to say, this is where I purchase my vehicles!

Originally, Wheels and Deals started as a small used car lot with one employee (Jim). Today, the dealership has over 24 huggable employees, a state of the art hug quarters located on 16 fabulous acres, one of the largest vehicle selections in New Brunswick and an established reputation as Canada’s Huggable Car Dealer
