When you come in ask for George, he is the man. He will take care of you, they have him doing everything, and still had the time to help us with everything. We came out with a brand new car for our son. He is so excited to have a car he loves and it all because of George.

Due to my credit situation, I had to have a cosigner for my loan. I dealt with Peter from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and was a joy to deal with. I got a 2014 Ford Escape SE. Because it was so late in the evening, my insurance company was closed, and the finance company said the vehicle has to be insured before I could take possession of it. Peter was kind enough to give us a ride home, and we came back the next day. The vehicle was already detailed and ready to go when we arrived. Peter even gave us a full tank of gas! It's really weird to see so many bad reviews about this dealership. None of them paralleled our experience with the whole process. The vehicle we got runs just fine. We are happy with it and the whole experience! A massive Thank You to Peter and everyone behind the scenes that made our deal happen!

Hands down, the best car purchase experience I've ever had. I just stopped in to look at a 2021 Honda Accord Sport SE. Justin went with me on the test drive and I loved the car. We sat down to talk about the numbers. Their price was already reduced for an online sale and that was below Kelley Blue Book value. We negotiated out the extras and the financing and shook hands. While they definitely wanted to make a sale, I never felt pressured about it. It all went so smooth! Loving my new car and the whole experience! Thanks, Justin!
