I had initially drove up to another dealership to test - Robert Gardner
I had initially drove up to another dealership to test drive a car but upon arrival, the car was being sold by the same salesman that I had been talking with and scheduled a test drive. We drove two hours. Now for the good part. The GM at that dealership was furious and asked if we had looked at Hedrick Honda, I had planned to purchase a Honda that was for sale at Infiniti, the sales manager was a close friend of his. Saw what looked to be the same car, so we went there. John Meridith, sales manager, was the first to greet us. Very warm and welcoming, get ready to laugh. He introduced us to Todd “Smitty” Smith. From the start, Smitty was like a guy you never met but felt you knew for a long time. No pressure, was more interested in me finding the right car than making a sale. Showed us the first car. Test drive went well. As we were talking he asked about a different car and if I was interested. Sure, let’s take it for a spin. Ear to ear grin. I found my car. Had it over a week now and just as happy as when I first drove off the lot, possibly more so each day. Financing was a smooth and easy process. Also, a shout out to Bill Cain in service. I was a mechanic in the service and have been wrenching most of my life. He answered all of my question about a new vehicle I was unfamiliar with. We are overly pleased with our experience, glad the first car didn’t pan out- upgraded to an Si from a Sport, and things work out the way they are supposed to. Well worth the two hour drive to get to experience the team there. If you are shopping, you need to stop and see them, you will not regret it.
