Good selection and good people When you first walk in, it gives off a typical car sales vibe. It’s definitely not one of the big name car dealers but don’t let the looks deceive you When you first walk in, it gives off a typical car sales vibe. It’s definitely not one of the big name car dealers but don’t let the looks deceive you. I had the pleasure of working with Don; a down to earth guy that is down to truly help. I would definitely recommend anyone to him. So if you’re reading this, go see Don, he’ll take care of you More
