I had no intention of getting a new car, but was starting to have trouble getting in and out of my sporty convertible and was thinking ahead. He showed me a couple of new models and we test drove a bare bones Kia Rio that was the size I would want with the non-techie features I would prefer in my next car. We ran some numbers and the only thing that stopped me was not wanting a car payment. Adrian did some quick talking and got me an offer of top dollar for my 2012 Eclipse and I thought, "With a couple thousand from savings, I could be in a new car!" Then he introduced me to the business manager who showed me how I could leave my savings alone and lease the vehicle for under $75 per month. Now THAT I could handle. So I drove home in my 2016 Kia Rio and just love it. So glad Adrian struck up a friendly, soft-sell conversation with me and will go back to him when my 3 year lease is up (I'll be turning 70) and get into my next brand new lease. You'd better be there, Adrian!! Thanks for a pleasant buying experience. Love my new car! More

Wonderful I located a car online that I was interested in. The salesman Craig Osorio brought it out quickly. He was able to provide detailed information about I located a car online that I was interested in. The salesman Craig Osorio brought it out quickly. He was able to provide detailed information about the car and its history. The manager, Bob Shaw, asked us to wait on signing the papers so that he could check out the car (since it had just been traded in). The company did find a few items that needed to be repaired, They sold me the car but insisted on fixing the items at their expense. They even loaned me a car while the repairs were being made. I am very impressed by their honesty and integrity. More

Awesome experience I wanted to trade my 2012 soul in for a 2015 soul. I wanted the deal to be fast. I hate the waiting dealing game. We came to fast price agreement and I wanted to trade my 2012 soul in for a 2015 soul. I wanted the deal to be fast. I hate the waiting dealing game. We came to fast price agreement and was treated with great respect through whole process. I drove away a very happy Kia soul owner again. More

Awful! At first I tried to deal with Jeff Prerego. but was passed off onto a another salesman. He looked like he didn't want to be there and smelled of ciga At first I tried to deal with Jeff Prerego. but was passed off onto a another salesman. He looked like he didn't want to be there and smelled of cigarettes. Needless to say, that was a strike #1. Strike #2 came when the car I was interested in, wouldn't even start and was up on their display lift! Strike #3 came when he attempted to sell me another car and the finance guy tried to talk me into putting money down (other than my trade). I was so upset that I called the Hawkins Brothers to make a complaint after I found out that Crown Mitsubishi shotgunned my credit 7 times! Plus, the salesman didn't even bother to get back to me until FIVE days later! I spoke with their GM and he told me that they only shopped my credit 6 times. This was a lie! Since the month that I have been in their dealership, I have pulled all three credit reports and have found that Crown Mitsubishi shopped out my credit EIGHT (8) times...not including the one that they pulled for themselves! I am NOT happy as these hard inquiries will not drop off of my credit for TWO years! Buyer beware! The dealership's practices are as dirty as their sales floor! The place is very small and it seems that this particular location is used as punishment for those salesmen that can't make it in Crown's top automobile lines. THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW! More
