If I could give this place negative starts I would. I would not recommend this dealership. The car they sold me gave me repeated mechanical problems over the three years I owned it, and my experiences I would not recommend this dealership. The car they sold me gave me repeated mechanical problems over the three years I owned it, and my experiences with both service and sales were incredibly frustrating. I once waited about nine hours for an engine-light issue that was supposedly “fixed,” only to have to come back because it wasn’t. The second time, manager Mike argued with me that the repair had been done correctly, despite another employee agreeing it had not, and I still ended up waiting another three hours. He also told me to ask for him the second around, I did, he dismissed me completely and I had to get the owner involved to get his attention. Embarrassing. Later, when I brought the car back to sell, Kevin was openly rude. While I was standing there, I heard him tell the used-car manager, “Yeah, I don’t like anything about the car either. That’s what I was thinking,” which was pretty rich considering this dealership sold me the car in the first place. He also said, “Oh, the girl is back,” and later told me, “Hopefully the next person treats it better than you did.” Mind you he’s works in the SALES department. So what was he doing behind the counter at the used-car department calling their manager talking badly about my car in front of me you ask? No clue. He thinks he’s a hot shot when he’s truly just another condescending salesman with zero people skills. Another embarrassing moment for this dealership. Mark in service was great, but unfortunately he was the exception. Overall, I felt dismissed, talked down to, and disrespected multiple times. I would not return and be aware if you’re a woman. More
