My Review of Holm Automotive Center Inc :
I currently live in Ellsworth, KS, and work in Salina, KS. A couple who goes to my church told me that the folks at Holm treated them like family, not like a sale. I moved to Kansas from southwestern Arizona, and part of the reason I've stayed in Kansas is the family environment and values; needless to say, Holm was the very first place where I started my vehicle search.
I might add that I am a 24-year-old female, barely out of college, and that this was my first car purchase. I am a first-generation Hispanic American, and new cars have never been a part of my family. I didn't know that it was even possible for me to buy a new car. I have never owned a car, and hadn't the slightest idea of what to do/how to go about purchasing one. I brought my entourage into the dealership with me: three other 20-something girls! They did not leave my side, and we almost felt bad for Ross, my salesman, as we all sat in front of his desk and grilled him like a panel! He enthusiastically answered every single one of our questions, and gave us breaks when we needed them, for what we called our "pow-wow's".
I stepped foot onto the dealership saying, "I am not going to buy anything today; this is the beginning of my search." This statement was respected to the utmost, but then, we found the PERFECT vehicle for me: a 2012 Chevy Sonic! This car is brand new, and it was in my price range for what I was willing to pay for something USED! My car had about 12 miles on it when I purchased it. I know that everyone has their opinions and beliefs about buying new versus used, what you should or shouldn't do, etc, but I had NO BIASES, NO BELIEFS, NO JUDGEMENTS, only an expectation of great quality. Holm gave me exactly this. After finding the car, the business office was patient with me, answering every single question as I made the biggest financial investment of my life. I was a wreck. If you are nervous, Holm is the place to go to get all your questions answered and your nerves calmed. I am proof that no matter your background, no matter where you come from, the people at Holm will work with you and find something to fit your needs, whatever they may be. My dream has always been to buy a brand new car; because of the people at Holm, this dream has come true for me.
