Tara & Chris were great but Tom Gates is an angry little man .I came in just kicking the tires and Tara was easily able to find a truck that I liked without any pressure at all. I had a 2002 Chevy Silverado with .I came in just kicking the tires and Tara was easily able to find a truck that I liked without any pressure at all. I had a 2002 Chevy Silverado with fewer than 140k and a 2009 Yaris with about the same. We did the normal dance with the price of trade in's but nothing dramatic and I left the Yaris and went home with my 2013 Silverado. The next day I brought in by 2002 Chevy as the 2nd trade in. When I found that Tara was off Tom Gates asked me what I needed. I told him that until I got in the truck I had forgotten that I had just had an electric tow brake installed into my truck and would appreciate if they pulled it out and put it into my new purchase. Immediately he came back with an attitude and answered "well that will cost you $200." I said "That's crazy. I would have asked for it in writing if I had realized it". His response was "Don't raise your voice to me. I already gave you too much for your trade in's and if you want the brake removed and installed then you will pay for it". When I asked him if he was willing to lose the entire sale for $200. He said "Yup. No problem". The ONLY reason that I didn't walk away from the entire deal was because Tara & Chris were awesome and that I liked the truck. Craig should cringe at the thought of this angry, anti-customer sales manager as the future of the empire. My dealings with him make me not even want to come back for service! More

Easy purchase Jay was the associate I dealt with while searching for my Frontier. He knew the product well and answered all my questions. I had done research prior Jay was the associate I dealt with while searching for my Frontier. He knew the product well and answered all my questions. I had done research prior to going in and his information matched mine. I never felt any pressure to purchase my truck, which was so important to me. Probably most importantly, I really feel as though I got a fair deal and an honest trade for my vehicle. The price 'negotiation' process lasted maybe 5 minutes and I didn't have to deal with every manager in the showroom to close the deal. I knew what I could pay and Jay helped make it happen. Oh, and while signing the paperwork Chris informed me that I had overpaid for the registration; would have been so easy to conceal that little fact. Honesty...how refreshing! More
