My family has purchased two cars in the same year from this dealer. We love the vehicles, and the dealership is certainly an interesting, fun environment. There were a couple of times that I stayed wh this dealer. We love the vehicles, and the dealership is certainly an interesting, fun environment. There were a couple of times that I stayed when service was being done. I am sure I am not the only one who tries to work while waiting and I was beyond uncomfortable. Based on what I do for a living I emailed, called and stopped by to talk with the owner and GM with some suggestions. Neither of them called me back or responded to my email. While I can respect someone not wanting to purchase anything, I am in sales, so I have thick skin. Not responding is rude. Not to mention that I am a customer. That certainly rubbed me the wrong way. The service guys are great. They have been nothing but friendly, helpful and I trust them. The only inconvenience is their lack of loaner cars. Again, I am on the road for sales and not once has a car been available to use when my car was out of commission for 3-4 days. I know that's not the service departments call, but other dealerships certainly offer this convenience to their customers. Overall, I would recommend the dealership in general. More
