When looking for a new or used vehicle, look no further than Niello Dealerships. A friend recommended we check their website for a quality used car and as it turned out they were right. If you find som than Niello Dealerships. A friend recommended we check their website for a quality used car and as it turned out they were right. If you find something you like, don’t bother with emailing through the site. Go in and see the sales team, there is no pressure and the vehicle will be as nice as it appears online. We went to Niello Acura and were immediately greeted by Chris Knutsen, Sales Consultant and Mary Alouf, Sales Advisor. They showed us the vehicle we saw online and gave us time alone to look it over. After viewing it they answered all our questions and at no point did they try to persuade us to buy it. We reached an agreement on the purchase and followed up with a test drive; it drove as nice as it appeared. Upon returning to the dealership, we were served bottled waters and coffee and they had us in and out in no time. The best part was Mary and Chris treated us like we were purchasing a new luxury vehicle. These days there are plenty of dealerships to purchase a car but very few with quality service. It has been two weeks since our purchase from Niello and Mary’s follow up been great. Thanks, Barry More

Brian was efficient and friendly as well. He explained things so that we could understand them and even came back and found us to mention another option that would save on our interest rate - which was well worth it! More

We haven't bought a new car in 8 years. Technology has changed so much in that amount of time! I was sold on the RDX by it's ability to make me feel safe at the wheel. Thank you to Chris Knutson for tak changed so much in that amount of time! I was sold on the RDX by it's ability to make me feel safe at the wheel. Thank you to Chris Knutson for taking the time on the test drive, to really make me understand how great this car is compared to the other competitors. I was sold and did buy my dream car. However, there are so many commands if you get the "technology package", that you need to have a class! Chris really encouraged me to call him up and set up a time to meet with him and go over all the (buttons). I took him up on it and spent (the first 1 hour) in my new car going over the commands that were the most important to me. I went home that day knowing that I had made the best decision ever! Chris was very patient and knowledgeble about all of the car's capabilities. I will probably be back to get another tutor session if I have other questions, and I have no problem calling Chris up again. He is very open to instruction, and I feel--really wants me to know the car! He is not just a "salesman", but a "serviceman" as well. More
