George helped us out tremendously. Originally the Hyundai Nexo was what we were interested in, but left with a 2022 Chevy Equinox! They worked with us and got us a great deal that fit within our monthly budget. Happy doing business with George and the crew, Id happily come back in a few months for my daughters car once shes ready too! Thanks for the pizza, and the hospitality while getting our deal done!

Had an excellent experience with Hussein at Direct Motors. He was incredibly patient, professional, and made the entire process easy and comfortable. Highly recommend asking for him if you’re visiting — outstanding customer service all around.

After some research and connecting with the dealer, Johnny I was able to find the car that best fit my families needs. I went in just to look and left with the vehicle the same evening. The process wasn’t prolonged. I appreciate how important the customer satisfaction was prioritized opposed to just making a sale. I am truly pleased with the customer service of Johnny as well as the other employees. Every single one greeted our family, assisted with wait time needs, consistently assured we were being taken care of. I would absolutely purchase from them again as well as recommend this dealership to anyone, especially women who find it difficult to make such purchases alone. Johnny did everything in his power to assure I left completely satisfied and I am forever grateful
