The buying process was smooth and Dan Macklin and the sales team were great. However, in my opinion, the true test of a business is the service after the sale. There were a few items that I purchased a sales team were great. However, in my opinion, the true test of a business is the service after the sale. There were a few items that I purchased and that had not yet been installed by the dealer that needed to be completed. In walks Meghan McHenry. Meghan has proven to be a total professional. She is easy to talk with, very knowledgeable and demonstrates a genuine concern for what is being done to get the necessary items installed in my vehicle. Meghan is type of individual that quickly demonstrates her desire to put me, the customer first. I was a customer service manager for over 30 years and continue to own part of a thriving business and I can tell you Meghan is just the type of employee I would want working for me. I hope the dealership will somehow recognize Meghan and reward her accordingly. Again, it is a pleasure to be working with Meghan and I look forward to seeing her again soon. Paul G.

My first new car purchase at the age of 20 was at Hutchens Chevrolet, which is now proudly owned and operated by Priority Chevrolet (at this Jefferson Avenue location now). As my journey through Hutchens Chevrolet, which is now proudly owned and operated by Priority Chevrolet (at this Jefferson Avenue location now). As my journey through life unfolded, and my family grew, this dealership has kept us safely and securely on the road. Outstanding service department. well staffed with 'old' and 'new' faces, and John Sherman always makes sure everything I request or need is addressed. Several times things that we needed beyond my awareness, and was so glad his team enlightened me, as I am very attentive to detail. I am fortunate to have a personal relationship with many of the service team members, Eddie Ausura for over 30+ years, his son David, who is on the team, and his son-in-law Matt also on the team. There are others I could list as well. My first new business vehicle purchase there, in 1992 was an Astro van, now with over 506,000 actual miles on the original engine, still in use daily. No oil needed between changes. Seriously. I could go on. From Parts, and Service they have kept me and my family on the road for over 50 years! Now to my most recent purchase, a very unique limited run Chevrolet, very difficult to find, and it was right there, on Priority's Lot, which I had searched for over a year and a half for just the right one, much less finding one. Again, much more to this story beyond this medium's allowance. However, I can only say, that my long time friend and sales rep, Dan Macklin, who was at Hutchens back in 1972, when I bought my first Nova SS, was right there with me, every step, to secure this deal. Dan introduced me to George Mastermaker, who opened 'doors' (beyond dealership physical doors) for me, extended a personal hand of friendship (beyond these words), and made this more than just about purchasing a car. This was a family event, that many may recognize as such, and appreciate, but added a depth to this very special event for me. This was more than just a combination of metal, materials, fabric, gas and oil. Immediately, upon our initial discussions, this unique vehicle was taken to John Sherman, (long time friend and wealth of experience in the automotive industry) then to Eddie (Mr GM himself) for a thorough second bumper to bumper (I asked for this, and they know me). I could go on, but will conclude this reflection, which allows me to look back on an such an event that was beyond a vehicle purchase. Every element of the Priority experience was well executed, personal, and in reflection, very special to me at this moment in time. Dan Macklin (after taking care of every detail) had the car set aside for my pickup, in a very special setting. Perfectly clean, sitting to the side in a quiet spot, to the North of the Showroom, where he and I had a chance to stand side by side, reflect, and have a picture taken together with the car in the background, that exemplified what 50 years of dedication and passion for vehicles can offer beyond just a dollar amount. Dan reached out to me (more than once) in the following days to insure all was well. George in turn took the time to bring personal outreach to me as well. The "You can have it all" was more than exceeded by this team of awesome people, from the showroom to the 'go' room. That is the difference with any business. PEOPLE. Our journey continues! More
