The Sales Consultant was the best

Darcel made the experience pleasant. He was informative and helpful in every way possible without being overly aggressive. I did not feel pressured at any point to complete a purchase. All of the personnel I encountered added to this being a good experience. However, Darcel was the reason I returned to this location to purchase my vehicle after looking at it several days earlier.

Service prices are high

It's close to home and the staff are friendly, but the invoice for an oil change and a cabin filter was a rally killer
