Buying a great pre-owned vehicle doesn't have to be loaded with drama and stress! Take a drive to see me in "downtown" Cedarville for a stress free buying experience. I've been in the auto business since 2005 and General Motors Factory Certified in Sales and Technology since 2007. Buying a car should be fun and exciting!

Tim sounds like a real champion for taking the time to explain everything to your daughter, the future driver of the car. That's what we call going the extra mile (or should we say, the extra test drive?). We know how important it is for everyone to feel comfortable with the car buying process, and Tim definitely deserves a high five for that. Thanks for the appreciation, and next time you're cruising by for service or just a chat, feel free to bring the whole family!

Buckle up, this review is awesome! Tim's a champion, we're so glad he could make your first car buying experience a smooth ride. Buying your first car can be a bumpy road, but it sounds like Tim was there with a full tank of patience and knowledge to answer all your questions. That's what we call five-star service! We second the recommendation – Tim's definitely the go-to guy for all your future car needs.

Wow, thanks for the stellar review! Tim's definitely a gearhead whisperer, happy he could get you behind the wheel of the right ride. Sounds like you did your research online, that's what I like to hear! But Tim's always there to kick the tires and answer any questions that come up down the road.

Tim made the buying process quick and easy. The truck was as pictured and described on the website. I let them know when I would be there and they had the truck and all paperwork ready for me. More
