Best experience we have ever had. Our initial visit was strictly for information concerning price range for the amount of payment we needed. Jeff was very helpful and simply answered o Our initial visit was strictly for information concerning price range for the amount of payment we needed. Jeff was very helpful and simply answered our questions. No sales pitch at all. Additionally, all prices were clearly marked on the vehicles!! This made us feel comfortable and when it was time for us to make a purchase, we went back to Jeff. Even though this time we needed to buy, there was still no hard press sales pitch, which we loved. With Jeff's assistance, we found what we needed in our price range. Financing was painless. Once the deal was done, Jeff went over all the bells and whistles with us and even set up the blue tooth. We will be happy to return for our next vehicle purchase. More

Excellent sales and service - top notch! I can't say enough kind words to express my experience with Jeff Skelly and the Tom Ahl family. This is my third purchase in the past 8 years. My fir I can't say enough kind words to express my experience with Jeff Skelly and the Tom Ahl family. This is my third purchase in the past 8 years. My first purchase was 2012 Chevy Equinox 8 years ago. I was looking for a vehicle after 10 years of driving minivans. I didn't know what I wanted and I decided to walk their lot on a Saturday morning and look at all the vehicles available since they had a huge selection. Jeff Skelly walked out to greet me and I told him I was only looking. I wasn't buying anything - just looking. He smiled, left, and came back 5 minutes later in a golf cart with a pad and paper. He said he would driver me around the lot, while I checked out all the vehicles and to write down which ones I wanted to look at. He would grab the keys to the vehicles so I could check out the interior and see how I fit behind the wheel. He spent 2 hours with me knowing I wasn't going to buy anything. Never once pushed for a sale. I left there that day with no vehicle but a better understanding of what I was looking for and thanked him for his time. Three months later, I called him and told him what I was looking for right down to the color and options and if he got something in to give me a call. Two months later he called me. He had gotten a trade in with everything I was looking for. What I liked about him was not once did he call me with other trade ins that were similar in color or something "he thought" I would like. He pegged my personality from the start and only contacted me when he found what I was looking for. I purchased the Equinox and still have it to this day with 192k miles on it. No rust and in excellent condition. My second purchase was in February of 2019. I went back to Jeff and told him I wanted another SUV but only smaller with better gas mileage since the Equinox was getting higher in mileage. Once again, we were out on the lot checking all the vehicles. Two months later I purchased a Buick Encore. My most recent purchase was the 2010 Chevy Cobalt for my daughter who is a college student. Her current car was falling apart and I needed to replace it. Once again I called Jeff only this time with my budget constraints they didn't sell cars at my low price range but he told me he would keep his eyes open and if he found something in my price range he would let me know. He also said if I needed any guidance on a vehicle I found somewhere else just to give him a call. Over the past two months I called him with different cars I had found and he would give me guidance on what would be good cars and what may not be knowing all the while he didn't have any skin in the game so to speak. After two months of not finding anything, last Saturday I was scanning the internet and I found a 2010 Chevy Cobalt on the Ahl website and immediately called him. It was over my budget so he had not called me. Once again, not being a pushy salesman. He told me they had just gotten it in on trade, would check it out, and get back with me. The price was $3995 but hadn't gone through their service department yet. Needless to say, after running it through their service department and spending roughly $2000 in repairs including new tires, rotors, struts, transmission lines, and a few other items, I purchased the Cobalt for $3995. Now we all know that buying an older used car is a crap shoot. No one knows when a car is going to fail, not even the top mechanics so I purchased a Powertrain Plus Warranty for $1450. The car has 134k miles on it and the coverage is for 36 months or 50,000 miles. It covers everything from the transmission, motor, fuel pump, alternator, starter and most things that go wrong at that high of mileage. It even covers roadside assistance for battery jumping, towing, flat tire change, key lockout, fuel assistance and a few other things a college student struggles with. You may think the $1450 is high but once you add up replacing a few of the items I listed plus towing and time spent taking time off work and heading to college to trouble shoot the car, the money is well spent plus it reduces your stress level knowing all your child has to do is have the car towed (free of charge) to the nearest authorized dealer and show them the warranty paperwork.Nine times out of ten its probably covered. Now for the skeptics on how a warranty is handled at Tom Ahl...Last year my Equinox, that has the Ahl lifetime warranty on motor and transmission with unlimited mileage, died in my driveway. It had 185K miles on it. I had AAA tow it to the nearest Chevy dealership and it was diagnosed with a bad timing chain. Cost to replace was approx $4000 but with my Ahl warranty it only cost me $100. Tom Ahl honored the warranty.There were no questions asked and no run around. They took care of it. Last but not least, the service department. Excellent service and a very friendly staff. The majority of them have been there it seems like forever. Goes to show that Tom Ahl also cares about his employees. Bottom line....Jeff Skelly and the Tom Ahl family are top notch in my book. More
