Terrible experience. They tried desperately to not let me use my own lender. I came with Capital One, they suggested their lender, that didn’t work then I suggested mine, More

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that your recent experience with us was frustrating. I understand that our manager is trying to reach you to discuss how to make this right. You can reach our General Sales Manager, Sam, at 931-488-8100. He hopes to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Katie R.

I don't see the point in going any further with you all. Not only was the above frustrating, they sold me the truck as an AWD vehicle. The salesman told me it was AWD. I took it to Russell Barnet, where they informed me it was not AWD. Very disappointing to say the least. A free oil change will not make it right, nor a year of free oil changes. I don't think anything can make it right. Unless you give me an AWD truck that I was thinking I was being sold, we will just leave it as it is and go our separate ways. You guys can get a million more customers, my one bad experience isn't gonna do anything, good luck.
