Outstanding from Search to Sale to Service Over the holidays my two well maintained Jeep Liberty SUVs both failed leaving me to find, on short notice, two replacement vehicles. Actually one di Over the holidays my two well maintained Jeep Liberty SUVs both failed leaving me to find, on short notice, two replacement vehicles. Actually one died and then 10 days later the other one died. The Internet is an important tool for me and after exploring a number of vehicles online only two automotive manufacturers earned my attention and respect for both content and presentation -- Buick and MINI. Following the national websites to the local dealership website, Otto's MINI of Exton, Pennsylvania, I was thoroughly impressed with the comprehensive quality of their online experience. By far and away, I learned the most helpful and detailed information on the Otto's MINI of Exton website. And very quickly I was able to identify a vehicle that met my needs. With one email to Otto's MINI, I was contacted by Peter Barcus who quickly and efficiently answered my questions in a way that both respected my knowledge and, quite professionally, anticipated certain soft spots in my understanding of the MINI line. He instantly put my wife and I at ease and worked to assist us in a prompt and helpful manner and never with any pressure. He was content to trust us and to trust in the value of the MINI brand and the quality of the people and service at Otto's MINI of Exton. Within two visits, my wife and I bought a spotless 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman with low mileage, a great warranty, and a very affordable price. The only challenge in the entire process was avoiding the temptation of Otto's MINI of Exton's enormous inventory of similar quality vehicles. It was then that I more fully appreciated the search and filtering options available at the Otto's of Exton MINI website which helped to narrow my focus to the wonderful car we drove off the lot. It helped me to be a better customer for Peter but, without a doubt, even without the website Peter would have expertly guided me toward a number of outstanding options to match my budget and needs. I cannot fail to overlook the expertise and helpfulness of Dave Busby who helped us with the paperwork and details regarding title and financing. With the same level of professionalism and kindness Peter had demonstrated, Dave slowly went over all of the paperwork and made sure that my wife and I were thoroughly informed and knowledgeable each step of the way. As mentioned at the start, 10 days later our other Jeep Liberty died and I had to purchase a quality, affordable car again and in very short time. I instantly visited the Otto's of Exton MINI website and found a spritely, entry-level, 2012 Mini Cooper Hardtop. One email to Peter and one visit a couple of days later, and once again my wife and I were very happy owners of another 2012 low-mileage, extended warranty MINI. By the way, this all happened on the day before the Christmas Holidays. and Peter and his colleagues at Otto's MINI never made us feel rushed or hurried. Indeed, while I moved through the second purchase with some measure of speed, Peter made sure that everything was fully up to standards. And Dave Busby, too, handled our second set of paperwork with a high attention to detail even while appreciating our new-found familiarity with the process. In the months since our two purchases, Peter has kept in contact with us to ensure that our cars are performing to our satisfaction. And on those occasions when we stop into the dealership for routine maintenance or to admire the newer models, Peter and Dave always remember us and stop to greet us. Indeed, both Peter and Dave have become something more than just reliable representatives of Otto's MINI of Exton; they are now friends. For Peter Barcus and Dave Busby of Otto's MINI of Exton there is no question too complicated and no concern too trivial that cannot be answered with courtesy, kindness, and the good humor that is rooted in the confidence of their expertise and professionalism. One of the better experiences of my life has been the pleasure of buying automobiles from MINI and especially from Otto's MINI of Exton where good people like Peter Barcus and Dave Busby make all the difference.

Fantasic Salesman, Pete! Friendly, Understanding, Listens Buying a car is a difficult and expensive decision. Fast talking salespeople who are only interested in closing a deal and making their commission tu Buying a car is a difficult and expensive decision. Fast talking salespeople who are only interested in closing a deal and making their commission turn me off immediately. THIS IS NOT THE CASE with Pete Barcus or Otto's MINI. They listed to your needs, let you test drive different vehicles until you find the right one, and then work with you on pricing and closing the deal so that both parties are happy. I walked out of a Toyota dealership because the high pressure salesman was only interested in my buying the car that day. I was there for a test drive and making some observations on different types of cars I might consider to buy. I was upfront and honest with the person and his repeated comment to me was "So what will it take for you to buy the car RIGHT NOW?" I left as soon as I could get away from him and returned to Otto's Mini to talk with Peter about a used Audi which I had test driven earlier that day. My mind was made up. I was giving my business to Pete, and I just needed to decide which car and settle on the price. How I was treated played a major factor in my decision. They are my dealership! Highly recommend anyone of the salesperson at Otto's Mini whether you are buying a MINI (which we already did from Pete) or a used car from their inventory. This is how buying a car should be! More
