Anne Gore's Review of Jim Childress and The Colonial Team Jim Childress and his team were wonderful. Our experience was so positive. We were allowed to test drive several vehicles and visit other dealers in Jim Childress and his team were wonderful. Our experience was so positive. We were allowed to test drive several vehicles and visit other dealers in the area. There was absolutely no fast talk or pressure from the Colonial Team. When I came back to Colonial to purchase the Buick Lacrosse every question and concern was answered promptly and satisfactorily. We worked out a trade-in allowance and bottom line price for the Buick which both parties could live with. Colonial was by far the most courteous dealer in the Charlottesville area. I look forward to working with Colonial in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dealer. More

Purchase of a used vehicle I was first met by William Childress. He was asked where Mr. Van Johnson's office was located at. He was with a customer at time, showed us the bu I was first met by William Childress. He was asked where Mr. Van Johnson's office was located at. He was with a customer at time, showed us the building where Van was in, but went out of his way to walk me to his office. Then as the day went on both William and Van went out of their way to make a deal for me. Could not have asked for a better team. These two individuals deserve a raise (if have not received one in a while). Thanks Van and William!!!!!!! More

purchasing a new vechicle I have been shopping for a new buick encore for more than a year . gone to all Washington Virginia Maryland dealers (koons ,king, ultimate , fitzger I have been shopping for a new buick encore for more than a year . gone to all Washington Virginia Maryland dealers (koons ,king, ultimate , fitzgeralds, route 1 Woodbridge,ourisman ect ) no one treated me with more respect and a willingness to hear what my needs were, my concerns , my budget, Colonial was the only one. Blake Rouse answered all my questions gave me all the numbers I needed for a true out the door price. No pressure just honest answers . No gimmick pricing like all the other dealers they put $28000 on internet but then you find out you don't qualify for all incentives and price for you is $32000 .Blake gave me a very competitive trade in and Scott Draper the finance manager was excellent .I did everything over phone and internet . When we finalized the deal I made the over 2 hour trip to Charlottesville met Blake in person for first time sat down in his office saw the car meet Scott finalized financing within an hour and half I was driving my new buick home. All the figures were just as we agreed try to do that at any other dealership. This dealership has integrity and people that really care. I know where I will buy my next car . Colonial. So you can waste your time with all the Washington metro dealers or call go on internet to Colonial then take a nice drive down 28 and 29 Virginia countryside and get car you want at price you want . And when I got in my new car it had a full tank of gas ,nice. More

Warr This was my 2nd purchase from Colonial, Michael Gazdik was awesome to work with, friendly, professional, courteous and best of all, no pressure! Warren Polson and Michael worked with me and delivered on their promise to make me a happy customer. Moving into the finance phase of the deal is usually stressful, but Scott made it easy and breezy, overall, a very pleasant car buying experience. I highly recommend Michael Gazdik to anyone who is looking for a new or used vehicle! More

Great trade in experience! Traded in my paid for truck towards a yukon. Received top dollar kelly blue book value for it. They did not pick at my truck to try to give me less fo Traded in my paid for truck towards a yukon. Received top dollar kelly blue book value for it. They did not pick at my truck to try to give me less for it. They just complemented me on what a nice truck I had. The price on the yukon was a fair price. They were so nice and helpful during the process. More

Straight-forward I am the person who once traded in a loaded, year-old Ranger for a bright red Ford Aspire -- paid STICKER PRICE on the Aspire, and waited patiently wh I am the person who once traded in a loaded, year-old Ranger for a bright red Ford Aspire -- paid STICKER PRICE on the Aspire, and waited patiently while the mechanic JUMP-STARTED the car on the lot so I could drive it home. I HATE to buy cars. That's why I drove my Honda CR-V for 15 years, until that wonderful vehicle finally breathed its' last (actually, it didn't: I sold it on Craig's List to a guy who could fix the bearings himself). We had two cars die in the space of two days, and I was unspeakably reluctant to be pushed back into the business of buying a car. Long story longer, we found the Nissan brand (a good alternative, we felt, to the Honda we wished we could afford) and I lucked into meeting Bob Kemp on the Colonial lot. First of all, there was no pressure from Bob: I was initially there to spec out a Frontier (plus, possibly, a used commuter vehicle for my husband), but I ended up finding a great deal on a used Silverado from a private seller. So, I went with that and moved on to finding the commuter car. Bob had suggested the Versa as a good possibility for my husband and the research I did bore him out on that. I moved forward, pricing the car online through dealers in a 150-mile range. Only two people, of the many I contacted (30, or more?), came back with a simple answer to my price inquiry. I took my best price to Bob, and he matched it -- plus added in some options we wanted, plus showed me some additional price benefits through the dealership. During this process, I was receiving upwards of 5-10 phone calls a DAY from dealers ... not one of these was Bob. He checked in via email once or twice -- always with a note actually written by him (no form letters): short, to the point, "Can I help you?" type things. And that's how Bob seems to deal: straight-forward; to the point; if he can help, then he wants to -- but if it's better for him to step back, he does. When it came to negotiating the bill of sale, he explained things line by line and we haggled productively when that was necessary. For the first time EVER in my car buying experience, I felt that (1) I wasn't being condescended to, (2) I got a good car value for the money and (3) I got the best deal on price and service that I could possibly get. I will definitely go back to Bob in the future, and I would definitely recommend him to a friend. More
