The business

The business slogan is simple and to the point"buy, sell and trade, specializing in vehicles under $5,000."

Iole said he works to have a variety of autos, SUV's, vans and trucks which he had on display recently.

Third Avenue Auto opened November 1 of last year and Iole said he is pleased with business to date.

"When I moved to Marshalltown a number of years ago, I was surprised at the cost of some used vehicles," Iole said. I decided to open up my own business to give people a choice."

Unique features

Convenience and visibility are the bywords at Third Avenue Auto. It is located at one of Marshalltown's busiest intersectionsThird Avenue and Iowa Highway 14/East Anson Street, across the street from the Kwik Star convenience store.
