With over 20yrs of automotive sales experience, I value excellent customer service above all else. Love to help people with finance needs and credit hiccups. Started in 99' at a VW/Nissan dealer and 20yrs later, I find myself back with VW! Huge Animal lover and have 3 wonderful pets Lucille, Stephie, and Kitty. I learned excellent customer service and incredible attention to detail from ABT Appliance & Electronics back as a teenager. Please stop in and say hi!

The worst dealership in the world. Very rude group of managers. They hiked my price by 10,000. They lack honesty. Say one thing and do the exact opposite. When you call with concerns, More

Hello. We looked into this deal. You did not spend $1 over internet. You only paid internet sales price. You were upset that we would not pay for your airfare to fly in to buy a car. You wanted Uber reimbursed. You were upset that you were here long and wanted us to pay for a hotel for the night. You wanted free Permaplate even without paying for it. You wanted new brakes on a pre owned car. You were upset about the wiper blades not being brand new. You did not want to pay taxes even though by law, we must colllect them. You received a 90 day temporary plate which you are refusing to use and instead, demanding plates 1 week after purchase. We even offered to fully refund your purchase and pay for shipping of car back to dealership as we have tried incredibly hard to make you happy but nothing we do seems to make you happy. You elected to keep the car. If you would like to revisit that offer to return it, please call us today. We would love it if you enjoyed your purchase but we know that is unrealistic based on all the conversations we have had. Please let us know if you would like to return the vehicle so we can review that option. Thank You
