I transitioned to the automotive industry after 20 years in the insurance business. I've spent the last 8 years as a finance manager, but recently made the move back to sales. My wife and I are relatively new to Arizona since moving here from the Seattle area, and love spending my spare time as an avid cyclist and anything outdoors.

Dear Nevcfo: We really appreciate you taking the time to share your positive feedback. CBB uses a market-based pricing system which is designed to provide our customers with our best price right up-front. This eliminates the back-and-forth negotiations that most customers dislike. We understand that some of our customers still think they can get a better price thru negotiation and are disappointed when that is not available. That said, we are grateful for the opportunity to earn your business. Please let us know when we can ever assist you again the future.
