Worst customer service ever. Salesperson not knowledgeable in vehicle (had to ask another salesperson to answer our question), finance pulls the ole bait and switch once you sit with them, then knowledgeable in vehicle (had to ask another salesperson to answer our question), finance pulls the ole bait and switch once you sit with them, then on delivery of vehicle windows were filthy, stereo speakers not working properly and all 4 tires were under inflated (to which we were alerted via the dummy light system). Not impressed at all, this was my second vehicle from them - there won't be a third. More

Erased all innate negative biases about buying a car. Great experience from purchase to delivery including sales customer service and business office. Maggie was fantastic in her response time and the am Great experience from purchase to delivery including sales customer service and business office. Maggie was fantastic in her response time and the amount of information she was able to produce without ever needing a gentle reminder. I made an offer and it was accepted. Richard was fantastic especially when it came to communication. He was always available and able to answer all my questions. Anthony made the financing process almost seamless and after presenting various options including financing and add on packages, respected my final decisions with minimal additional pressure. There was a slight hiccup at the end due to my being in Georgia but the dealership stood by its agreement and the contract as agreed. That's all you could ask as unintentional mistakes are inevitable when dealing with 52 states and a myriad of different laws. Thanks to all of you for making this experience as good as it can be.
