I had the opportunity of meeting Zach Harper who was the sales associate that helped me today. Zach is very easy to talk to and you could tell right away that his customer services skills were excellent Zach asked the right questions from the get-go which made our time extremely efficient. He made sure to know what exactly I was expecting with price if I decided to buy the car I checked out. I actually did not end up buying the car that I came to see. Despite that, Zach was not offended nor was he pushy to sell me the car or convince me to buy another car from the lot. However, he did ask me that if there is another car that I’m looking for, he will be on the lookout in the future Nonetheless, even though I didn’t buy the car, I was really glad to have a good experience at this dealership. I know not everyone has a good experience when it comes to checking out cars so I’m fortunate to have met Zach. If you’re looking to purchase a car from this dealership, look for Zach!

Came down here looking for a deal and my guy Josh and Kifah really treated me like family and really hooked it up. Paid off my car and full and gave the monthly payment I was looking for. Really appreciate these 2 guys and the friendly environment that the dealership brings you. Josh was really honest and super helpful and got what needed to be done and definitely a good guy to be around. If you have Josh help you out bring the man some protein powered because he definitely deserves it and Kifah is the man that made everything happen for me, treated me like his own and took care of my family.
