we thoroughly enjoyed the New Car Ownership Seminar. It was very informative. We love the gift bags and are using the window cleaner already. Thank you. More

Thank you for the review and I'm glad you felt our Seminar was informative and the gift bags are helpful. We try very hard to seperate ourselves from our competition with programs like this, so it's great to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks again! Mark Pennella VP

The seminar was a new and great expereince for me. The shuttle service was actually enjoyable and everyone at Patrick is very focused on customer service - not just the sale. More

Thank you for the review! One of our internal training modules is about 'service after the sale is actually more important than the sale'. From the lot attendants, service technicians, sales associates to the Shuttle drivers, this is trained thruout the facility and I'm happy to hear that you noticed our efforts. Thanks again!

Thank you for the candid review. After speaking with our Service Manager, we now understand that if your 'service' will take longer than 1 hour as you indicated, we will advise you upfront. We also reviewed your last 3 visits, and found that 2 of the 3 went beyond and hour but did not exceed the alloted time frame published in the labor time guide. Although waiting more than an hour can seem like a long time, our technician actually out performed industry standards. Were truly sorry for any inconvience and look forward to your return in April as you stated. Thank you again! Mark Pennella VP

The person I dealt with was friendly. The only thing I had done was an oil change, and a tire problem. Service as in a timely manner. More
