I woke up last Wednesday morning thinking, "Hmm, my lease isn't up until August, but I wonder if I should reach out to Niello now so I can make sure the exact car I want is available when I'm ready for the n isn't up until August, but I wonder if I should reach out to Niello now so I can make sure the exact car I want is available when I'm ready for the next one." Hand-to-Bible, not 2 hours later, Yana called me to see if I was interested in rolling into a new lease. Talk about mind reader! Now, I'd worked with her on my last two deals, so maybe she's just really in sync with where my head's at. ;) In any event, she found me the exact model/trim/colors I wanted, ran the numbers every which way I asked, smoothly dealt with my hemming and hawwing, and by the end of the day, I had an appointment to roll in that Sunday to drop off the "old" lease and pick up the new baby. That day, as I pulled up, Chris came running out to help me -- as if I was some celebrity, or something. Between the two of them, they really make you feel like a member of their royal family. And Brian was a breeze in finance, I was in-and-out lickety-split! Many call me a brand loyalist, but it's not just Acura, it's the Niello company and these particular folks. They're the absolute best!! More

I just wanted to take a minute to recognize Mr. Chris Knutson, he has been to this date the best car salesman I have ever worked with! His professionalism, his kindness, consideration, no fluff app Chris Knutson, he has been to this date the best car salesman I have ever worked with! His professionalism, his kindness, consideration, no fluff approach to our interaction is what sold us on the car. Personally, I dislike going through the car buying process because you never know who you are going to interact with or if you are going to walk out of the dealership feeling like someone took advantage of you in a situation that many people feel vulnerable in. Mr. Knutson makes you feel at complete ease during the entire process, from answering every question you might have, to asking questions to make you feel you are being cared for. I just wanted to make sure that his hard work & effort goes recognized by the community he is serving on a daily basis. Thank you to Acura, Mr.Knutson & your team! More
