Xander Swartz
Owner
Xander Swartz is the second-generation owner of Cactus Auto Company, the family-owned used car dealership that has served Tucson drivers since 1986. He joined the business full time in June 2002 and has spent more than two decades learning it from the ground up. Under Xander's leadership, Cactus Auto has grown into one of Tucson's busiest independent dealers, helping about 150 families a month find a reliable used vehicle. The dealership works with more than 30 lenders, so customers with strong credit, no credit, or a bumpy past have real options. Every vehicle comes with a 7-day exchange guarantee because Xander believes buying a car should never feel like a gamble. Stop by Cactus Auto Company at 1602 W Prince Rd, or reach out to Xander and the team directly at 520-888-0910
