Well felt welcomed our dealer was helpful and patient

Well felt welcomed our dealer was helpful and patient with my wife and I. The dealer helped us find a pretty nice and reliable vehicle that fit us. We had not problems or issues everything went smoothly and our dealer was informative about any questions we had as well. We are satisfied customers.
