Send a MessageHello! I'm Cale Urbick, Owner at The Car Connection, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this vibrant team! My entire adult life has been dedicated to the car business and I wouldn't have it any other way - I absolutely love it! I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in the beautiful surroundings of OSO, Washington, and now, I'm happily settled in Lake Stevens. Being a Washington native, I am enamored by the stunning beauty the Pacific Northwest offers. When I'm not immersed in the world of automobiles, I cherish spending quality time with my family. Whether we are enjoying water sports or exploring the majestic mountains that make our region so special, these are the moments that enrich my life. I look forward to serving your auto needs and delivering the exceptional service that has become the hallmark of The Car Connection.

Joe We've been in business for 38 years. And in that time I've come to realize that only a few things truly matter - 1. Find quality, locally sourced vehicles that our customers can be proud to own, 2. Do our best to stand behind what we sell and make the customer as happy as possible. 3. While providing the absolute best financing on HWY 99. We're also not your typical used car dealership. I recruited guys from industries that didn't have anything to do with the car business. They are passionate individuals who treat our customers right. I've lived in this area my whole life. I was a part of the 1984 Olympic Boxing Team. Where I was able to travel the world & meet a lot of interesting people along the way. I enjoy working out & spending time with my family. As you get to know our team you'll see that we are all unique in our backgrounds and our approach to working with you. Give us a shot you won't be sorry!
