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 Jamin: We are very disappointed to receive your review, especially in light of you being a repeat customer. After receiving your review, I personally reached out to you to discuss the issues that you raised but unfortunately was unable to speak with you. I wanted to share with you the unique circumstances with your purchase in terms of you getting your vehicle prior to CBB receiving funds. For clarity, your credit union did confirm that it mailed you the check to fund the vehicle and CBB did not receive the check in the 7 days that we had provided to fund the transaction. That said, I do appreciate your feedback and am sorry to hear you feel that you were mistreated in some way. Sincerely, Jack Schneider, Owner
