Meg Wilson

Meg Wilson (5/5 stars, 2 weeks ago): I was in the market for a new (to me) Subaru forester. I saw the one I was interested in online and was immediately able to come in for a test drive. Hans was super helpful and made the entire buying process easy and far less stressful than other dealerships I’ve been to. They were flexible and worked with my time frame for picking up the vehicle after purchasing. 10/10 would recommend purchasing a vehicle from here.

Hadassah Thompson (5/5 stars, a year ago): I recently purchased a 2007 Hyundai Tucson and am very happy with it. I mainly worked with Hans who was very knowledgeable friendly and honest. He answered any questions I had and I didn't feel pressured to buy anything. We went in took the car for a test drive filled out paperwork and were out the door in about 45 minutes. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for quality cars and quality service!

Tim Bolen (1/5 stars, a month ago): I buy a lot of things from these folks but today a gal answered the phone and she was very rude right off the bat. I asked how she was and she said “WHAT DO YOU WANT?! I said well can we run a vin number because there’s three options for said part. She got upset put me on hold and instantly hung up on me. This will be the last time I purchase anything from this facility. If you’re having a bad day that’s understandable but don’t put that on the rest of the world. Regardless of what is written as a response what I’m sharing is my experience and what happened to me that day. Out of anger and retaliation you can go block me from your facility and that’s fine. As far as the number of items someone buys if that’s not important to you that says a lot about customer service and care. Best wishes A1 ;)
