I have to admit that I was the most analytical and perhaps overanalytical thinking upon my car buying experience. My partner Chris and I have spent several weeks researching, investigating and compar perhaps overanalytical thinking upon my car buying experience. My partner Chris and I have spent several weeks researching, investigating and comparing prices to crossover SUVs that met our expectations. The Chevy Equinox (2012) was, by far, the most superior SUV we have studied. It blows its competition out of the water. Chris and I were both put at ease once we met our sales associate, DAVID WALTER. As an MBA graduate, customer service, price comparisons and financial expectations were important in our decision-making process. David far exceeded our expectations. He was not only knowledgeable in cars, he knew exactly what our "wants" and "needs" were for the Chevy Equinox. Both Chris AND myself purchases the Chevy Equinox the same day! That's how amazing this professional and personable individual was to us. We enjoyed every experience from the moment we signed our papers to the moment we drove out of the dealership. David's fellow, associate, KEVIN WEBSTER, was incredible as well. They both were able to orient both us with our new vehicles and made us extremely comfortable understanding the new technology and having our vehicles have our own personal touch added to it. Both David and Kevin, are hilarious. If you want to laugh, have fun and enjoy your car buying experience, THESE GUYS ARE FOR YOU! My parents even met the guys and will be using them for their future Chevy car buying experience. RAY ROBINSON, the financial manager, at Chevy is professional, knowledgeable, down-to-earth and a no "bs" kind of guy. We felt comfortable signing the forms with him and helped us pick and choose which policies best suited our budget. I am not one to write reviews at all but when customer service "wows" and "overwhelms" me, I HAVE to write something to spread the word. In today's economy, people want to get the best bang for their buck with the best customer service available. Please look no further for I have found you both the dealership AND the sales associates perfect for you--PINE BELT CHEVROLET & DAVID WALTER & KEVIN WEBSTER. We are thrilled to own a Chevy Equinox and proud to call David, Kevin and Ray our friends. You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you again especially to David for making a somewhat crazy experience a peaceful, smooth and financially affordable one! We wish you all the continued success on your continued success and endeavors through Pine Belt Chevrolet! More

Kevin Webster greeted me at Pine Belt in Lakewood and was excited to show me what kind of SUV I was interested in. He is an excellent sales consultant because he would not give up until he met my standards a excited to show me what kind of SUV I was interested in. He is an excellent sales consultant because he would not give up until he met my standards as far as price and what I was looking for in a SUV. He did not pressure me, but instead heard everything that I wanted and continued to try to make a deal that would satisfy me at Pine Belt Chevy in Lakewood. That is why I purchased my SUV, as well as his efficiency, respect, and concerns about me knowing how to operate the SUV before I left for home. He answered all my questions, completed all paper work smoothly with transiting from my trade in to setting up on-star. He even called me in the SUV to update me about my information that was pending and to see how I liked the new SUV!! From start to finish Kevin Webster is the sale person to ask for by name because his overall personality will be a winner on any deal! More
