Coach Fred has spent his entire career in the automobile industry with Phillips Buick GMC. That's right, all 34+ years. They don't call Fred "Coach" for nothing. Fred is a youth football and basketball coach and an expert when it comes to BBQ and all things Heisman. He is married with two kids. Fred's son go’s to Gannon University in Erie, PA, which by association makes Fred a Golden Knight, too, and without a doubt many of his customers see Fred as a knight in shining armor too. He is a Miami Dolphin, Florida Gator and Orlando Magic fan, so you know this man is patient. The fact is, buying a car with Fred is easy and he always has a smile on his face and a chuckle in his voice. He may coach the games, but he does not play games when it comes to finding you the right vehicle. Fred's coaching experience makes winning a satisfying car deal easy. His customers are his #1 fans.

Stephanie, right now, someone you haven’t met is out there wondering what it would be like to meet someone like you. Thanks to Coach Fred we already know, and are so happy you trusted us with your car purchase. Friendship is about relationships and that is a two-way street. We love getting 5-Star reviews and so does Fred. Especially 5-Star reviews from friends such as you. We are ready and really excited about what is coming down the road in the future because we have friends on our side. Thank you, Stephanie, for the 5-Stars and your friendship.

In your version of Escape From New York, you move to Florida, meet Fred and buy a car from Phillips Buick GMC. That is a much better movie than the original. Thank you for taking time to give us such a great review and recommendation. We agree, Fred is special, and maybe that's why he seems to end up with the most awesome customers. We look forward to seeing you again and continuing to earn your trust. Thanks so much for putting a feather in Fred's cap.

We're hoping that may just be an accident, based on your positive review... but if not, please feel free to contact us to share your thoughts. Thank you!
