I've been in the car business in sales for over a decade. I've been voted "State's Best" Automotive Salesperson recognized in “The State” Newspaper multiple times. Growing up in the inner city of Chicago (mostly without a car) I know first hand how hard it can be not having reliable transportation. This has resulted in a passion for helping people acquire exceptional vehicles while having an enjoyable experience along the way. I love traveling (Especially to Disney World) and trying different types of foods. I love my beautiful wife and 3 daughters (12, 10 and 8), whom I provide a great life for by taking care of my guests at Lexus at a high level. A wise man once said, “If you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything you want.” This is one of my favorite quotes because I’m living it.

We left a deposit just to be on the waiting list for a GX550, and the entire experience was a nightmare from start to finish. They kept shifting the timeline, constantly moving the goalpost on when an ava GX550, and the entire experience was a nightmare from start to finish. They kept shifting the timeline, constantly moving the goalpost on when an available vehicle would actually show up. After nearly two years of waiting, I finally decided to request my deposit back — and that’s when things somehow got even worse. I had to chase this dealership endlessly just to get my own money returned. The dealer I originally worked with was nowhere to be found. The manager was nowhere to be found. I was calling every single day while juggling my full-time job, just trying to get someone — anyone — to take responsibility. When I finally got someone on the phone, instead of help, I got pushback. I was told the deposit was “non-refundable” because it secured a vehicle. Except I never left a deposit for a specific car — it was simply to be on a waitlist. They knew that. And yet they still made this as difficult and frustrating as possible. This dealership was an absolute headache to deal with. After this entire ordeal, I walked away from Lexus altogether and moved on to another brand. And honestly, it was the best decision I could’ve made. More

I initially reached out to this dealership with every intention of purchasing a new vehicle for my family. Let me be clear: our intentions were genuine and straightforward. After several discussions, we intention of purchasing a new vehicle for my family. Let me be clear: our intentions were genuine and straightforward. After several discussions, we placed a deposit on a vehicle. We were then informed that the car was not currently on the showroom floor and was an incoming unit—something we were fully prepared to wait for. Everything changed when we discovered the dealership had added a “Market Adjustment” premium to the price. Concerned, we contacted other Lexus dealerships, including our local Greenville Lexus, who made it very clear that they do not—and will not—charge their customers above MSRP. At that point, we decided to move forward with a dealership that values honesty, fairness, and transparency, and we requested a refund of our deposit. To our shock, the manager Chris informed us that our deposit was “non-refundable,” even though the vehicle wouldn’t be arriving for several months. We were completely blindsided by this response. What makes this situation even more infuriating is the fact that they ended up selling the vehicle to another customer anyway. They didn’t lose any money. Their bottom line wasn’t affected in the slightest. The only people financially impacted were my family and me—because we trusted this dealership to operate with integrity. We believed in fair pricing and a fair shot. Instead, we were punished for refusing to pay an unnecessary premium on a car that wasn’t even on the lot yet. Once we found a fair price elsewhere, somehow we were the ones penalized. We have already reached out to Lexus Corporate and a Lexus Brand Specialist to request a full investigation into these practices. We entered this process with pure intentions, and the way this was handled is absolutely not how a reputable dealership should treat its customers. More

Lalo Bellamy is an impeccable listener and made us feel like people not another commission check. He assured us with his attention to detail. While working with Lalo we felt like we were the only thing that mattered in the moment. I’m now considering trading in my BMW X5 to make us an all around Lexus family. Thank you Lalo for putting the Midas touch on my 23rd anniversary gift to my wife unforgettable. More

This dealership has always taken care of me at a high level. I have had 5 different Lexus vehicles and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else. Danil is a good service guy.

“Thanks man, I went to a few other places and you were by far the best experience I received. Honestly it was a bit more than I was prepared for but now I’m pretty determined that even if it has to wait a li far the best experience I received. Honestly it was a bit more than I was prepared for but now I’m pretty determined that even if it has to wait a little until after I buy my house I’m going to buy a car from you no matter what” This was my message to Lalo after a long and stressful day of car shopping with him being my only good experience.
