Not enough swag For real, the only downside we could come up with was the lack of swag we received. Maybe seeing more departments would be cool too. As customers of t For real, the only downside we could come up with was the lack of swag we received. Maybe seeing more departments would be cool too. As customers of the dealership already from our last car we had already met the store guy and the maintenance front desk. But besides that, it was a super awesome and low stress experience. They did not try to push anything extra on us except for maintenance stuff. Very accommodating of our children. Chris was excellent. He answered all of our questions and all the questions from our 8 year old. When the car we wanted turned out to have already been sold he showed us what was available without pushing us to choose any. Louie was very upfront for a dealership finance guy. He showed us our options and let us make up our own minds for what we wanted. Overall a very nice staff throughout the building. A good overall experience. More

No attempt to upsell. Showed us inventory based on our criteria. Explained operation of vehicle extremely well. Covered features of the vehicle and explained our questions well. My first dealings were with Chris. As he was busy when I physically showed up, Gregory Landry showed me inventory and answered my questions well. Came back with my wife, met Greg and he got me Chris as he was with a customer himself. Excellent sales staff. Worked with Tracy Roberts on completing the sale. More

Great experience Chris Smith was not pushy or manipulative. He didn't try to upgrade us to something we didn't need or play 'maybe I can get you a better deal' games. Chris Smith was not pushy or manipulative. He didn't try to upgrade us to something we didn't need or play 'maybe I can get you a better deal' games. We were shown several vehicles that met our needs and, when we decided to buy, Traci Roberts was quick and efficient, but very good at explaining options. We did not feel pressured at any time. And my husband liked the cookies. Car buying as it should be. More

He was very responsive when I emailed him prior to my visit to the showroom. When I got there, he answered all my questions, and was very patient throughout the process. I never felt pressured, and walked away with an amazing deal! I felt that I was fairly treated, and I have nothing but praise for the staff. Traci, the Finance Manager, was so great! This was by far the easiest vehicle purchase that I’ve ever had. More

Chris was very knowledgeable about all of the car's features, answered all of my questions and looked up all of the information about the car I requested He accommodated our timeline since we had only a day before leaving town. We were able to negotiate a trade-in and we were able to complete our purchase within a few hours. Traci was also helpful in getting the paperwork together quickly. This is my wife's 5th Subaru Outback and she is very happy! More
