My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
It was an absolute pleasure working with Bill. Easy to work with, responsive, friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable regarding the vehicle I purchased. Really, there's nothing more that you need other than Bill walking you through the process. Work with Bill, you'll be glad that you did.

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
Purchased a vehicle and felt like I got a great vehicle for price. Was very excited and didn't notice they didn't put gas in truck when I drove off. Also, despite signed paperwork stating they activated satellite radio they did not. Today is day 26 and vehicle already had to go in for service. It's been 5 days and part is still not in. These are the reasons I would not recommend. Other things that did NOT bother me but feel I need to mention is child did walk into room while signing paperwork and sale got pushed back due to all sales they had going on. Again those issues didn't bother me but felt it may bother others so I mentioned it. I did think salesman was great, but should had checked radio and gas before having me come to finalize everything. I understand things go wrong but feel its been long enough waiting for part. It is my 3rd GM vehicle and still trust in their vehicles to purchase another

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
This was my first experience with Branhaven, and it was great. Laura Schmitt was so pleasant and helpful, not at all "pushy". She patiently answered all of our questions. Purchasing a "new" car was difficult for me; after 14 years, I found it difficult to part with my 1998 Dodge Caravan Sport, which was such a great vehicle. It took me a long time to decide what my next vehicle would be, and I'm so glad that I stuck with Dodge. I love my 2010 Dodge Journey! I've owned it for a month now, and it's fantastic. Very comfortable and easy to drive. I especially like all of the storage compartments. Thank you, Branhaven, for making my experience so enjoyable!

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
I found Branhaven through auto trader. Being a first time buyer I've done tons and tons of reasearch both online and verbally with friends. After combing through all the results of what I was looking for I stumbled onto Branhaven. I figured since I was relocating they were an excellent choice for me to go looking for first car. I'm glad I was right! I was greeted with courtesy and professionalism as soon as I walked in. I've been to places where you're "ascended upon" I did not in any way feel intimidated. It's scary and exciting getting your first car. So I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. But not here! I was greeted kindly and humbly as i walked in. That helped me feel like I made the right choice

Angelo, who I had the pleasure of working with is an excellent consultant and salesman. I didn't feel pressured, scared or nervous. After a nice introduction and greeting we got to know each other a bit. I told him I was looking a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I was very interested in. After he confirmed that way I was looking for and wanted was available he got the keys and we walked the lot. On the way to the car he was very informative on the total run down on the Cherokee before we even got in. His knowledge base on the vehicle was impressive. I sat in and we got ready for the test drive all the while giving me more and more info on the car. Everything from the heated seats, moon roof, transmission and everything else. I was sold! They take excellent care of their inventory and should be well commended.

After everything was said and done I was a happy drive in my way back home. I will definitely look forward to doing business with Angeli and the Guys at Brahaven in the near future.

Thanks Branhaven!

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
The staff at the dealership was very friendly. We got a good deal on a brand new jeep compass and we didn't feel overwhelmed. The staff was respectful and explained everything that they were doing. We drove all the way from Essex to Branford because the deal was much better and more competive compared to the many other dealerships around here. Highly recommended.

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
I scored this dealer the ratings I did because in each of the aforementioned criteria, they exceeded my expectations.

The customer service was very responsive. They had to work to locate my vehicle; because they did not have the Jeep model I wanted in their existing stock. So I would venture to say that, they took a very earnest and hard working approach to meeting my specific vehicle needs.

The dealer atmosphere was consistently friendly; and, the post sales follow up contacts, have continued to be so as well.

I would have to objectively state that in all of the experiences I have had, whether it was a lease, (this vehicle was leased), or, in any purchase experience, that my experience at Branhaven Chrysler Jeep Dodge, has to be ranked right up at the top.

As far as price was concerned, because they, Branhaven, accepted and purchased my current lease, (I turned in my Subaru off lease), as part of the new lease of the Jeep Arctic edition), this purchase, between the manufacturer's rebates and dealer discount, became a very financially favorable one for me.

My Review of Branhaven Motors Inc:
Easily the best car buying expierence ive had. My salesman Jonathan was friendly and straight forward. No games were played at all. A fair price was given for the vehicle purchased and for my trade. All done with the dealers first offer no back and forth at all. Everything was done by jonathan to make the deal very easy and enjoyable. Howard was also very friendly and easy to work with to everything that was promised was done no questions asked. I will use the dealership again and would highly recomend both Jonathan Minichino and branhaven dodge.
