Purchase of RX350 Although we never personally met Gerald exceeded my expectations and did a fantastic job assisting me in purchasing the exact RX 350 I wanted. He sen Although we never personally met Gerald exceeded my expectations and did a fantastic job assisting me in purchasing the exact RX 350 I wanted. He sent me numerous pictures of the car and kept me updated on the progress of getting it delivered to me. The whole dealership was outstanding to work with. More

He listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect vehicle for our needs and wants. Once we had the vehicle picked out the purchase process was smooth and quick. We were given a one-on-one instructional session on the operation and technology of the vehicle, which was very helpful. We can return or call for more help if we need it. It was truly the best car buying experience we have ever had. We will be coming back for future purchases. More

This guy is the best!!! I was thinking about upgrading my 2006 RX330. Knowing Gerald as a teacher, I was very happy to discover him at the dealership about two years ago. He I was thinking about upgrading my 2006 RX330. Knowing Gerald as a teacher, I was very happy to discover him at the dealership about two years ago. He is a great listener and is able to provide many options that match the request. If I didn't just love the car or color or options, he said "I want you to be completely happy with your choice so let's look at a few more." We found the perfect RX350 and I do just love it. We made the deal and everyone is happy. One of my best car buying experiences. Thanks for making it so pleasant! Sylvia Logerquist More

Gerald has created me every time I cam Gerald has been wonderful to me. I bought a 2013 RX350 from him and this January I traded it for another RX350. Gerald has created me every time I came in for service and helped me when something was wrong. I really appreciate his attention to the details. He never once pushed me into a trade. I came in for an oil change but ended up trading after talking with Gerald about lease vs. buy. More

Customer Absolutely Comes First, While Dressed To The Nines! Immediately upon meeting Gerald and sharing initial words on the showroom floor, I knew there was something unique about him. At the complete opposit Immediately upon meeting Gerald and sharing initial words on the showroom floor, I knew there was something unique about him. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum from "typical car salesman" is an individual who is down-to-earth, gentle and absolutely committed to delivering the most appropriate vehicle to the client while delicately balancing needs and wants vs. the budget. Leveraging his background as a former band and theater teacher, Gerald literally "sets the stage" for a personalized car shopping experience that is so technically stimulating and enriching. Gerald was so knowledgeable of specific details across all model and trim combinations that I found myself wanting to quiz him for delight. Perhaps the most impressive aspect was his patience and care in handling my multiple considerations of different vehicles - nevertheless, Gerald maintained his 100% commitment to my satisfaction through it all. I look forward to working with Gerald again and again in the many years ahead! More
