Elijah Collier

This was my fourth time buying a car, and anyone who’s done it knows how stressful and frustrating the process can be — especially when dealing with pushy, intimidating salesmen. Before reaching out to de done it knows how stressful and frustrating the process can be — especially when dealing with pushy, intimidating salesmen. Before reaching out to dealerships, I did my research and contacted several Chevy dealers because I knew exactly what I wanted: a 2026 Chevy Equinox AWD RS in Radiant Red, fully loaded with the Convenience III Package, Safety & Technology Package, and panoramic sunroof. Since the model was so new, not many dealerships had it in the exact configuration I wanted, and the first few experiences were honestly awful. Then I connected with Elijah at Ron Tonkin (who no longer works there), and everything changed. I had recently lost my dad, who passed away on September 25th, so I was already going through a lot. Elijah truly listened. I told him what I wanted and what I didn’t, and every time he said “understood,” he meant it. He never tried to push me or convince me to settle. Even when I was probably a bit much at times, he handled everything with patience, grace, honesty, and integrity. When we couldn’t find the exact vehicle, we decided to do a build-and-buy, and he worked tirelessly to make it happen. By the time the car arrived, Elijah had to step away for family matters, and Ryan took over my deal. I was nervous at first, but I didn’t need to be — Ryan was just as patient, thorough, and kind. The consistency between them really speaks to the culture at Ron Tonkin Chevrolet. I also worked with Christian, the finance manager, and once again had a great experience. He explained everything clearly, went over optional add-ons without pressure, and when I decided not to include certain things, he respected my choices completely — no pushiness, no attitude, just professionalism and respect. From start to finish, the entire team made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely valued. I never felt rushed or like the only goal was to close the deal — and that is exactly how car buying should feel. We are a Chevy family, and as long as Ron Tonkin continues to have people like Elijah, Ryan, and Christian, we will absolutely be back — especially when my husband is ready to trade in his Silverado. This wasn’t just a car purchase — it was a reminder that honesty, respect, and humanity still exist in this industry, and Ron Tonkin Chevrolet delivers all three. More

I had a great experience at Ron Tonkin Chevrolet thanks to Elijah Collier, my sales representative. From the very beginning, Elijah was helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. He assisted me with the purcha to Elijah Collier, my sales representative. From the very beginning, Elijah was helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. He assisted me with the purchase of a used Tesla and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Initially, I selected an EV that unfortunately wasn’t the best fit for the area where my wife and I live. When I returned a couple of days later to explain the situation, Elijah was incredibly understanding and once again went above and beyond to help me find the right vehicle. He truly listened to my needs and got me into the EV that was perfect for our lifestyle. I really appreciate the entire Ron Tonkin team for their support, but especially Elijah—he’s down-to-earth, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me find the right car. This dealership is lucky to have someone like him on their team. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Ron Tonkin Chevrolet to anyone looking for a hassle-free car buying experience. I also want to give a shout-out to Lacey in the finance department—she was fantastic! She made the paperwork side of things easy to understand and stress-free, and her professionalism and friendliness really stood out. More
