As a former teacher, I bring patience, listening skills and a sense of empathy -as well as a healthy dose of fun!- to my role as a sales and leasing consultant at Crown Acura. Whether you're looking for a new or used car, have credit challenges or you're a multi-millionaire, first-time buyer or have bought more cars than I've sold (it's possible!) - everyone gets treated with respect and dignity, and we all enjoy the experience together.

A customer since 2006, I’ve bought three cars from Crown Acura and every purchase has been a wonderful, stress-free, enjoyable experience. For my most recent purchase (June 2020), Gillian Barnes was my sale Acura and every purchase has been a wonderful, stress-free, enjoyable experience. For my most recent purchase (June 2020), Gillian Barnes was my salesperson, Sophie Morris was the sales manager, and Keith Amaral was the finance manager. Gillian Barnes is a delightful salesperson. Knowledgeable and professional, yet calm and unassuming, Gillian is a joy to be around as you shop for your vehicle. She answered all my questions accurately, and she promptly looked up anything she wasn’t immediately sure of. Our test drives together were relaxed and convivial, and she was very adept at demonstrating each car’s options and abilities. As good at down to earth conversation as she is helpful, Gillian Barnes makes buying a car fun and easy. Sophie Morris is like your older sister who always looks out for you. She sold me my first Acura in 2006, and helped me get out of a very unpleasant purchase from another dealership and into my second Acura in 2014. And once again, despite the lock-downs and craziness of Spring 2020, Sophie has come to my rescue and found me another wonderful Acura that perfectly fits my budget. Warm, charming, attentive, hard-working, honest, trustworthy, respectful, professional… I just can’t say enough good about Sophie Morris. Keith Amaral is as fine a finance manager as you’ll ever find. Upon my request, Keith very quickly found a better loan than I had secured on my own. With the back-end products, as Crown Acura has always done, nothing is packed in. Keith listed and described each option very clearly, and showed how rolling each into the loan would impact my monthly payment. Once I made my decision, the discussion was over—no pressure, no persuasion, no judgment—and we were on to signatures. Keith Amaral understands that this is how car financing should go, and he’s the best at it I’ve ever seen. In sum, do yourself a favor the next time you’re shopping for a vehicle and go to Crown Acura. They understand that the cars will sell themselves, and accordingly they don’t need to push customers to buy them. Rather, Crown Acura has learned that treating people with dignity and respect is what brings them back, as I have come back time and again over the past 14 years. There has never been a finer car dealership than Crown Acura, and it’s all because of people like Gillian Barnes, Sophie Morris, and Keith Amaral and the wonderful experience they provide. Ask for them and you won’t be disappointed. More
