The Process of Purchase - An Enjoyable Experience The process of purchasing a motor vehicle does not need to be complex nor littered with hidden costs or agendas.

For most, it’s tough enough to just save for a major purchase. Having shopped extensively-up on down the East Coast from Connecticut to Florida-we were able to determine a price range on our vehicle of choice (Nissan Rogue SL) and its numerous locations. It was then just a matter of choosing the proper vendor. After believing we had the best price out-of-state, we offered a distributor in Connecticut a shot at matching the cost. We had heard good things-it is indeed a small world and word of mouth travels-about GATES GMC Buick Nissan, and decided to at least give them a chance to match our best offer. One short phone call to Paul Bacon (Certified Vehicle Specialist ) placed the figure and terms on the line. If they could match the deal, they had the sale. I wasn’t sure if Mr. Bacon believed me, but he took me at my word and delivered a vehicle. Honestly, we were delighted to keep our purchase in the state of Connecticut. More

Have been going back everytime!! With this dealership and Paul Mazza as a salesman you do not need to shop around. We have bought all of our new cars from here and Paul (and had our o With this dealership and Paul Mazza as a salesman you do not need to shop around. We have bought all of our new cars from here and Paul (and had our oldest son buy his first new car as well) and each time we would go to other dealerships for a quote on the same exact vehicle they would say they couldn't beat it. One dealership salesman even told us to "run, don't walk, back there, I don't know how they are giving you that price". They are up front about everything unlike other dealerships. My youngest son was misled by a Volkswagen dealership who was misleading about everything and he ended up paying a lot more than originally told. We ALWAYS shopped around to "make sure" and ALWAYS found out that this dealership and Paul would always give the best deal. Chris M the "signing the final documents" guy was awesome and did not make me feel uncomfortable about not wanting certain extended warranties (which I know going in I am going to say no to) but does a great job about explaining the coverage if you wish to have it (ok, he convinced us to get the gap coverage which is a good idea). This dealership has great reviews from lots of people for a reason. They truly want your business, are up front and not "sheisty", and the customer service from all associates is AMAZING. I am a customer service supervisor/trainer for decades for a company that has a cs satisfaction of 96% or more and this place amazes me. Someone is always opening the door for you, offering you snacks/drinks and if your preferred sales rep is busy, they will take care of you until he/she is available. (yes, we popped in unannounced). If life events happen and you are unsure if you would qualify for a loan at a reasonable rate do not be afraid to reach out to this dealership. We always qualified for most of our new car purchases for the "well qualified" rate but then we had a life event happen that affected our credit but this dealership was able to get us into a new vehicle at a very surprising interest rate and affordable monthly payment which I did not think was going to happen. Can't recommend them (and Paul and staff) enough!! More
