Planned to look but ended up buying

We were planning to look only for my son's first car and we ended up buying from this dealership. Prior to this dealer, we've already stopped by two or three car dealers within the same area. When we were there, Ben Villalpando showed us the car and took us for a test drive. Again, we were only trying to look and see which car best fits our needs and budget. Ben worked with us, but not pushing. The Manager, Yehuda, was also very accommodating and helpful. I guess it's their helpfulness and willingness to work with our budget that helped us mind up our minds to buy the car. Overall, our first experience with Ben and Yehuda was very, very pleasant. I would definitely refer this dealership to anyone.
