I have done a lot of jobs and careers in my life and selling cars is one of them and I have been doing that for almost two decades. Royal is the only Dealership I have worked for. I enjoy working at Royal because our primary focus is the customer. Each employee here work together as a team to serve the customer. I have the best customers in the world. I have a relationship with them deeper than just a business transaction . . . I consider them all friends. Most of my customers have purchased multiple vehicles from me . . . I am a dad and granddad . . . and I can honestly say relationships both with family and friends is one of the things that makes life meaningful and significant.

Nine vehicles purchased from Don Thomas Over the years, I have bought nine different vehicles from Don Thomas and it was a pleasure to deal with him on each one of them. Don does what he sa Over the years, I have bought nine different vehicles from Don Thomas and it was a pleasure to deal with him on each one of them. Don does what he says he's going to do. He always follows up with me after the sale to make sure I am satisfied with the vehicle and with the dealership's services. When you come into the dealership to meet with Don, you are treated like a guest instead of a visitor. I live four hours away, but when I'm in Birmingham, I always make time to stop by and see him because he's such a pleasure to talk to. When you are looking for a friend in the car business, you need to stop by and see Don Thomas. You can't have a better friend than Don. I have recommended him to several of my friends who have also purchased cars from him. More

Excellent Experience I highly recommend Don Thomas at Royal Automotive. Out of all of the car-buying experiences I've had over the years, I can honestly say that working w I highly recommend Don Thomas at Royal Automotive. Out of all of the car-buying experiences I've had over the years, I can honestly say that working with Don at Royal Automotive was the most pleasant I've had by far! I appreciate Don's kindness and patience with me as I asked countless questions for two months before I finally purchased my 2014 Volkswagen Routan. Don undoubtedly went the "extra mile" for me and because of that, he has earned a customer for life! More

He will find what you want, work with you to be sure it's what you want and get you a good deal. It's like meeting a friend, catching up and leaving feeling good about the car and the deal.

Don Thomas is the best! Don Thomas has consistently gone above and beyond to provide excellent customer service at Royal Volkswagen. Don assisted me in leasing my first Volks Don Thomas has consistently gone above and beyond to provide excellent customer service at Royal Volkswagen. Don assisted me in leasing my first Volkswagen in 2004. Over the 13 years I have both leased and purchased several Volkswagens from Don. He has on more than one occasion had a car delivered to me 4 hours from his dealership so that it would be convenient for me. Don is very easy to communicate with and makes the chore of car shopping a pleasure! More

Great experience Don was straight forward. He wasn't pushy or salesy, he just told it like it is. I left a deposit and planned to pick up the car the following week, b Don was straight forward. He wasn't pushy or salesy, he just told it like it is. I left a deposit and planned to pick up the car the following week, because I live in Montgomery. He even offered to drop off the car for me in Montgomery so my wife wouldn't have to drive me. Really cool dude. Sales manager Larry also great. Had a very good experience. More

I am a first time car buyer and Don made the experience easy. He helped me find the right Tiguan and I was able to set up a test drive easily thru email. He gave me plenty of information on the vehicle and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to anyone who is wanting to purchase a vehicle. If I purchase another VW it will be through him.
