I have been in automobile sales for 11 years. Prior to that, I served in the U.S. Navy. As a sailor, I was an Operations Specialist assigned to a Combat Operations Center. I have always had love for cars even as a child, and right after the Navy, a family member recommended the car business. I fell in love with the business and helping people, especially fellow veterans and active service members. I enjoy seeing my customers reactions when they get into their new car, that they are taking home for the first time.

Mario was honest and did his best to answer my questions. He wasn’t pushy and I trusted him to help me find the best car for my budget. Nice dealership too. More

Everything was good on deal except I was only given one key fob to my new car. As a dealership they should have order a 2nd key fob for me or at least offered to get me one at a discounted price. More

Thank you for your business and your review about your recently purchased pre-owned vehicle. We understand your concern about only receiving one key. Customer feedback, such as yours, is essential to our ongoing efforts to evolve our service standards & performance for the highest possible customer satisfaction. Rest assured that your concern is being shared with the appropriate team as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. Our current policy for pre-owned vehicles, excluding Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, is to pass along all keys that were provided to us by the previous owner. We do not order additional keys or key fobs for these vehicles. This means that the number of keys you received is the same number we received when the vehicle was traded in or acquired. We understand this may be inconvenient for some, and we apologize for any frustration this may cause. While we cannot provide an additional key at no cost, we would be happy to assist you with obtaining a replacement key for you through our service department. Please let Mario know if you would like us to assist with this and feel free to reach out to me should you have other concerns. Thank you. Mike Pierce General Manager, mpierce@bigstarcadillac.com.
