I am not a stranger to this dealership but have not been there in many years. After going to several other dealers in the same area they were my last stop. I thought I was going to put up with nonsense agai there in many years. After going to several other dealers in the same area they were my last stop. I thought I was going to put up with nonsense again. We were pleasantly surprised. Lindsey greeted us. Did not put on the pressure. We had a budget and she was very thoughtful and helped us find something that fit. She also showed us all of the features of the vehicle that the other dealers did not. In fact one of the salesman (Ford) admitted they didn't even know. Lindsey even took the time to work with me on setting up the bluetooth on my phone. All others were extremely helpful and courteous. Finance was very speedy and painless. I am happy we hooked back up with our old friend Pine Belt. More

I stopped at Pine Belt the day before Christmas to look at a new Chevy Tahoe. Thinking that on that day there would be no crowds and a good chance to check out the Tahoe.As I entered the dealership I was g at a new Chevy Tahoe. Thinking that on that day there would be no crowds and a good chance to check out the Tahoe.As I entered the dealership I was greeted by the biggest smile and that was when I met Lindsey.I told her that I had found a Tahoe on their Web site and I would like to see how it looked.It turned out it was in the showroom with a lot of extras added by the dealership and I felt more then I was willing to pay.Lindsey found another vehicle in there lot and had me take it home so my wife could look at it.She was not crazy about the color so I went back and told Lindsey and she said what about the first one you looked at.I said it was more then I was thinking about because of the price.She brings me a cup of coffee and says let me see what I can do.She came out with a price that shocked me.She then gave me the keys and said go show it to your wife.I took it home and my wife loved it and I thought it was perfect.When I got back to the dealership and told Lindsey we had a deal.I thought that we would wait till the following week to do the paper work but she got everybody to help out.They took everything from my other car and put it in the new one.She got all the paper work done so that I could take the Tahoe home that day and finish the financial end the following week.She made sure that I left there with what I wanted at the price I wanted.The following week I came back to finish with the payment and had a message on the Tahoe about the tire pressure.Lindsey took me right to the service department to make the adjustment.I wish that everybody could have a salesperson like Lindsey Mulrain to make buying a car such a easy process.

From the scheduling of my test drive through Tom Ullery From the scheduling of my test drive through Tom Ullery enthusiastically reviewing vehicle features with me, I felt comfortable. Tom assured me that From the scheduling of my test drive through Tom Ullery enthusiastically reviewing vehicle features with me, I felt comfortable. Tom assured me that with various incentives, my trade-in, and my payment option that I would be satisfied . He was right, after the negotiation process concluded he courteously helped unload my old vehicle while the new one was being prepped. Tom's manager, Mike Melendy was very courteous and friendly as well. I definitely felt that customer attentiveness and providing a pleasurable car buying experience was more important than " just another customer, get 'em in & out". Pinebelt Chevrolet's Tom Ullery, and Mike Melendy are definitely professionals. I definitely will recommend anyone I know to Tom. Thanks Jim Cartier More

I recently purchased an HHR from Pine Belt Chevy of Lakewood. Carrie was my sales person and I cannot begin to say enough about her! From the moment I walked in until the time I left, Carrie made me Lakewood. Carrie was my sales person and I cannot begin to say enough about her! From the moment I walked in until the time I left, Carrie made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. Basically, she treated me as a PERSON first & foremost, and NOT just a customer. And I truly appreciate that. My credit isn't the WORST but it's also not the best. I honestly would've been happy with ANY half-way decent car but thankfully, Carrie managed to get me approved for one of the vehicles I really was interested in. The HHR!! The dealership is wonderful from top to bottom! I highly reccomend Pine Belt and specifically Carrie. More

I went to visit Pine Belt Chevrolet on Jan. 21 to view a certain truck color I had seen online. I was aproached by Mr Elyea who arranged to have the vehicle brought to the front of the building.I didnt like certain truck color I had seen online. I was aproached by Mr Elyea who arranged to have the vehicle brought to the front of the building.I didnt like the color, but went for a test drive anyway. Im divorced and was with my daughter who was visiting for the weekend. I told Mr Elyea I had made a commitment to take her shoping to buy her an Itouch. He wasnt pushy, I told him Id be back the following day. Upon arriving the next morning I saw a steel green chev. pickup truck parked outside. After walking the lot looking over the inventory, I decided on the steel green truck as a potential purchase. Mr Elyea informed me that the current rebates and incentives were the best they have been in many years. He showed on paper all the options I had, as far as combining offers. I saved over $7000.00 on these alone. It was too good to pass up. Afterward I noticed a discrepancy on the financing. Mr Elyea had given me his cell phone number. I left him a message on Sun. Jan 23. I feared that I would have a problem (based on bad things you hear about dealers).But to my surprise Mr Elyea and Mr Anthony Paperella (finance specialist) put all my fears to rest.We met Mon. 24th, and in less than an hour I was on my way. Im more than satisfied. Thank you. Thomas Lesko More
