Tara changed my opinion on women My wife and I were looking to replace our 2005 Buick Lacrosse. It had been a while since we had been car shopping, as we are both retired and don't dr My wife and I were looking to replace our 2005 Buick Lacrosse. It had been a while since we had been car shopping, as we are both retired and don't drive much anymore. We started a discussion with our son Brendan about looking at a new all wheel drive Lacrosse. I asked Brendan to get me some preliminary information on pricing and one of the dealerships he called was Gates. He had bought a vehicle from Gates before and had a good experience. We got the preliminary information from our son and decided to stop in that weekend to look at our options. We had no intention to buy a vehicle that day. On the car ride there, Brendan explained we were meeting with Tara. I asked him if that was a guys name, and I told him I usually do not like working with females. Tara changed my opinion. She was friendly and very good at explaining all the options on the vehicle. She made it very easy for us. Everyone we interacted with at the dealership would stop and say hello how are you congratulations as we were sitting at her desk. It was truly a pleasurable experience. Tara wanted to make sure it was the right car for my wife and I, but we were never pressured to make a decision. She even sent a driver to pick us up in East hartford at our home the day we picked up the new car since we were transferring plates and not trading our vehicle. We were welcomed with a hug from Tara and we drove away happy! Our son is coming over this weekend to check out the new vehicle in our garage! It felt natural to buy the car there, and my wife was smiling the whole time because everyone was so nice! More

Show customers more options All we asked for was a sunroof and not white or black(later red was added). We got that and a whole lot more. I wish we had been able to see more ca All we asked for was a sunroof and not white or black(later red was added). We got that and a whole lot more. I wish we had been able to see more cars, but all the safety features sold us on this one. If we had more options we could have gone a little cheaper and been more comfortable with what we spent We could do without the dual tempature and seat warmers! That being said both gentlemen were professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable. More

Bob Lussier is kind, thoughtfu This is my 7th purchase from Gates and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are are pleasure to work with in every aspect. Bob Lussier is kind, thoughtful and remembers how technology savvy we are. He works with us for a great deal and always provides transparency. The financing dept is also amazing. They get through the paperwork in such a speedy time. Plus, they always tell us about different financing options. This time around (for the limited edition Star Wars Rogue) he brought a new financing option that saved us more money and no extra work on our end. I am so excited to have one of two of these Rogues that Gates received. More
