The staff is fri Since moving back to CT a few years ago, we have used Schaller for service on our MDX. The service department does an excellent job. The staff is friendly, work is completed on time, and they take the time to explain what needs to be done, and why. When we did have to bring the car in, we knew the problem would be dealt with efficiently, and we have always been pleased with the results. This year we began looking for a replacement for the MDX. I stopped at Schaller to take a quick look at one of the cars I had seen on line. James came out in the rain to answer my questions, and it was obvious he knew his product well. In working with James over the next few weeks, he proved to be very knowledgeable, thorough in his explanations, and above all patient with the list of questions I had for him. At no time, did I ever feel pressured. James made the experience of buying my new RDX fun, and more importantly "stress free", and I couldn't be happier with my new vehicle. This dealership provides exceptional customer service, and we are very pleased with our purchase from Schaller Acura. More

I went to Schaller to evaluate the Acuras as I had very little experience with them. I was met by Jim Merrill who was very easy to work with. We all know how stressful an auto buying experience can be bu little experience with them. I was met by Jim Merrill who was very easy to work with. We all know how stressful an auto buying experience can be but it does not have to be. Jim was very knowledgeable about the various cars that I was interested in which was important because the Acuras were new to me. Jim was patient and actually listened to what I had to say when I described what was important to me in a car. He invited me to test drive as any car I wanted to and as often as I wanted to so that I was sure about my choice. I am not the type to go once to a dealer and just buy a car, I have to compare and think about it before making a major decision. I know his commitment to making this the right purchase for me will not end as I drove off the lot in my new car. More

Found just the car I was looking for at a great price while shopping on-line. Visited the dealer to try the car out and was introduced to James. He let me test drive the car, absorb the experience and while shopping on-line. Visited the dealer to try the car out and was introduced to James. He let me test drive the car, absorb the experience and take in the information. He was very patient and understanding, not pushy at all. In fact he was sincerely interested in me. He was actually more concerned that I made the right decision then selling the car! As I considered the purchase he welcomed me to test drive the car again. Once we negotiated a price (in which he was very respectful), James made sure the process was easy for me, quick and convenient. He also made absolutely certain every single commitment was made. Best experience I have ever had. Hands down. More
