My goal is to ensure that everyone that I encounter is ensured that customer service is alive and well ! A fun fact about me is that I go by my last name (Rigaud) pronounced RE-GO. I was born in Queens New York, grew up in Broward County Florida, and lived in Charlotte for about 6 years which is where I got into the automotive industry, and never looked back !

Israel Rigaud was an excellent person to deal with while I explored all my options to trade in my ES-Hybrid to lease my wife a larger vehicle for our growing family. The ES-Hybrid was supposed to be my car I explored all my options to trade in my ES-Hybrid to lease my wife a larger vehicle for our growing family. The ES-Hybrid was supposed to be my car that lasted me >150k miles (and I drive 6-7k miles/year), but with an addition to the family we needed a larger sized car. I went to many other dealerships (6-7 total), and ALL of them wanted to haggle you and wear you down on both sides of the fence, the trade-in and purchase/lease. The other dealerships that I went to wanted to take advantage of what they thought was a desperate customer; it was nothing but games. Israel was very patient as we examined all options available that fit into our desired budget. What I mean regarding Israel's patient, is I meant he spent 3 weeks communicating with me; checking in with me where I was in the investigative/research process or seeing if I had more questions about some of the other options we discussed. It wasn't easy for me to let go of my ES. But with Israel's patience and honesty, I was able to do so, and my wife is incredibly happy with her new car, and really that's all that matters. Thank you, Israel. More

Israel and Mikhail were amazing! They were with me through the entire process and it felt like family. Every question was answered. The phone calls and follow ups were timely. The re They were with me through the entire process and it felt like family. Every question was answered. The phone calls and follow ups were timely. The representatives in the finance department respected my decisions and was not "pushy". Everyone was patient and my dream car was delivered. The dreaded 8 hours at the car dealership was non existent! 4 hours TOTAL on my 3 trips to the dealership (to "window shop", to test drive, to pick up)! I returned a week later for my tints and that process was seamless. This was my first Lexus purchase and this experience felt like luxury. Kudos to the entire team! More

The old bait and switch. They promised me one vehicle with all the features I requested and in the end they delivered a lesser vehicle without those features. It was so burie They promised me one vehicle with all the features I requested and in the end they delivered a lesser vehicle without those features. It was so buried in the paperwork there was no way to fully know just what I was getting and I didn't insist on them spelling it all out. The end result I am paying for a new car without what I wanted on it and pretty much stuck with it. They will now own up to their mistake and basically told me to pound sand. More
