Chili Childress is a rare bre When you walk on to a car dealership most people expect someone who hovers over you and fill your head with pipe dreams. Chili Childress is a rare breed of a salesman. His personality and attitude spoke volume about his character. His knowledge about the Nissan cars told us that is honestly was based on the facts of your product. As stated by Albert Einstein, “The only source of knowledge is experience”. I am happy we dealt with the most experienced salesman we know. Thank you William “Chili” Childress. More
Very happy customer! When I came to Colonial I was unsure of the car I wanted but with help from Michael Gazdik I was able to find the perfect car. I bought a 2015 Nissan When I came to Colonial I was unsure of the car I wanted but with help from Michael Gazdik I was able to find the perfect car. I bought a 2015 Nissan Versa, which I am absolutely in love with! Michael was very helpful and polite and made sure they met all my needs! Also, he wasn't pushy and annoying like some salesmen are which I really appreciated. Scott was very helpful with the financial part of the process and did everything fast and efficiently. Overall, my experience buying my first new car was made very easy by the staff at Colonial! Thank you! More

We were in town for a wedding and decided to test drive a few cars. Kevin was not the typical car salesman and gave us a lot of freedom in test driving and looking at the cars. It was such a pleasant experience we ended up buying a 2015 Nissan Rogue. Going above and beyond, Kevin offered to deliver the car to us (we live out of state) and pay for the safety inspection. It was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend buying a car, especially if you are lucky enough to work with Kevin. More
Search on the net, contact through email, buy via texting . Two weeks ago I decided to "adopt" a left-over 2014 Base 370Z and quickly discovered that there were plenty available; now to buy this $30,000+ vehi Two weeks ago I decided to "adopt" a left-over 2014 Base 370Z and quickly discovered that there were plenty available; now to buy this $30,000+ vehicle with at least a 15% discount. All the other dealers sent me zillions of emails, told me I wouldn't qualify for any of the incentives and inserted fees into the equation; putting the 2014 model equal to a 2015 in price. I was getting nowhere fast. When I initially contacted Maggie and asked for the "hocus-pocus" she immediately assured me that there would be none of that and offered me a no-frills price which more than equaled the incentives the other guys had snidely told me to forget about. So, coupled with the nice-price, the fair treatment and the NMAC 0% financing I basically bought this vehicle through texting. Next was the test drive and the route used was through a beautiful area with little traffic. One concern of driving in "the city" is surviving and that isn't a problem at Colonial, they're easily accessible. One of their sales people sold me a car in 1976, he and I reminisced and I spoke with some of the other employees; all are very congenial. At the top of my short list of those car-salespeople-I-can-trust is Maggie because of her brand-specific knowledge, general demeanor and genuine honest spirit. During the entire process I never felt as though I was being lied to and every question that I had was quickly addressed. I am retired and have bought cars, bikes and boats for nearly 50 years; this was without any doubt the best buying experience ever. I recommend: "call, email or text them; Maggie or Jim." More

Satisfied loyal customer We have purchased multiple GM products from Warren Polson and Colonial and have had nothing but good experiences each time. Jon Forsberg did a great We have purchased multiple GM products from Warren Polson and Colonial and have had nothing but good experiences each time. Jon Forsberg did a great job of helping us select a quality Nissan product for our children that fit within our budget and maximized the number of safety features. He had strong product knowledge and was able to get the Colonial team involved to answer questions. Jon was not a high pressure salesperson and listened throughout the process to find the right car. Warren always treats us right and this was no exception. We tell everyone to go see Warren and Colonial for a great sales experience. More

I was incredibly anxious and worried about the car but Michael and Scott reassured me and walked me through every step of the way. The staff here isn't trying to swindle your money or make a profit off of your ignorance when buying a new car. I really appreciated how friendly and welcoming the staff was. More
Loving my new Altima! I had just had my previous car totaled, and in a panic, I took a friend's advice and went to see Bob at Colonial Nissan. Bob is incredibly friendly, d I had just had my previous car totaled, and in a panic, I took a friend's advice and went to see Bob at Colonial Nissan. Bob is incredibly friendly, down to earth and sells with integrity. I felt from the beginning that he had my best interests at heart. I went into the transaction with a negative attitude of thinking that I wasn't going to get a solution together, but I walked out with a brand new car, staying close to my budget, and feeling really, really good about my experience. I HIGHLY recommend Bob Kemp and Van Johnson to anyone shopping for a vehicle: their service and care is exemplary. More
