Quicker than Expected Chris and Sean were very friendly and helpful. I had a car picked out and ready for me when I arrived. I was at the dealership for about 1.5 hours, bu Chris and Sean were very friendly and helpful. I had a car picked out and ready for me when I arrived. I was at the dealership for about 1.5 hours, but the actual paperwork and purchase only took about 20 minutes. Most of my time was spent test driving the car and learning about all the technology in the car. More

An unexpected awesome experience This car purchase is our 3rd Honda and our first brand new car. From the moment we stepped on the lot & met Chris to the moment we drove off the lot i This car purchase is our 3rd Honda and our first brand new car. From the moment we stepped on the lot & met Chris to the moment we drove off the lot in our new car it was a surprisingly great experience. I really felt like Chris showed us all our options from used to new and was so knowledgeable about each car (options, engine size etc) that we could make the best purchasing decision for us. The finance guy (bejihn) was so thorough and explained all the finance & extended warranty options and then patiently wait for us to talk it over. Awesome, awesome, awesome. And, yes, we will recommend you guys. Thank you so much!! More

This was actually my 3rd time coming in to inquire about a vehicle and I’m glad that I chose to do business with him. He was accommodating, friendly, and in no way pushy. He was also more than happy to negotiate price with me and was straight forward and honest during the entire car buying process. While I will not be buying another car for quite some time, I will be bringing my business to Chris and Manly again in the future. More

Purchased an online 2017 Chevy Volt I live in Oregon. Chris handled all the necessary Tax deferment forms and arranged for the vehicle transportation all without a hitch. I asked Chris I live in Oregon. Chris handled all the necessary Tax deferment forms and arranged for the vehicle transportation all without a hitch. I asked Chris to correspond thru email. This was necessary because all negotiations were being made while I was at work, Manly was the ONLY company who honored my request. Chris would answer any question I had, even on his days off, without hesitation. These people are just great to work with. I have already reffered my 3 Sons to Manly for their consideration. Thank you Manly More

Pleasant visit to buy a car My internet salesman Chris Tara-Browne couldn't have been more knowledgeable and gracious by answering all our questions and taking all the time neces My internet salesman Chris Tara-Browne couldn't have been more knowledgeable and gracious by answering all our questions and taking all the time necessary to make us confident in our purchase of our 2017 Ford Escape. The F & I people were thorough, but not over bearing. Bill Petty, one of the service managers was very gracious in having the fog bulb on my Honda CR-V replaced (not easy had to up on a rack and remove a panel to get to it) during our visit even thou we didn't have an appointment; then he didn't charge us!!
