Went in a few months before I bought my Volvo T6 AWD and they had a decent selection. I held off and when I went back in Bob told me they had no more on the lot. Instead of blowing me off, he advised me o they had a decent selection. I held off and when I went back in Bob told me they had no more on the lot. Instead of blowing me off, he advised me of different ways to handle the situation...order online, wait till they get some in, or go overseas (their special promotion). I decided to give my email address to him and he notified me immediatly when they got one car in. I probably overpaid, but it's supply vs. demand. I loved the car and needed one asap. I felt overwhelmed with the car and a few days later, I met with Bob and he went over everything with me again. I felt very comfortable and love my car. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone. More

Left the dealership feeling as though we had not gotten a good deal. The trade in value was extremely low but due to time constraints we were not able to shop our trade in. We felt as though they took adva good deal. The trade in value was extremely low but due to time constraints we were not able to shop our trade in. We felt as though they took advantage of the circumstance. If you are using a trade in as part of your transaction, they will not give you a fair price. Then used high pressure to complete the transaction. Beware. Also, do not let them know where you live. They will try to mark up based on your address. Bob was a nice guy but we could tell that he could not do anything regarding the price. His job was to describe the car. In that role he did fine. They did not follow up on promises to do additional work on car purchased. Did not follow through on request to have service record forwarded. When I dropped off paperwork two days after the transaction, they "forgot" I was waiting in the showroom. I had to go find the finance manager who I was waiting for and the the response I received was "oh, I got to talking to one of my bankers and forgot you were there." When in fact I could see that he had just been talking to a co-worker the entire time. The simple fact that they have not followed up or tried to contact us underscores the fact that they did not want us as repeat customers. More
