I brought my car in for its 6-month check-up, oil change, etc. I left feeling very pleased with every person involved and the service rendered!

Staff was friendly. Nice inventory to choose from. Website was accurate on availability and pricing. I was very perturbed by the fact that the $500 MANDATORY payment covering your clearcoat on the paint was not brought up until I was signing on the contract which added $500 to the cost of this transaction from what your website says the pick up will cost. If that’s aMANDATORY addendum to your pricing, I don’t know how you don’t have to include that in the price of the vehicle and you wait until I’m signing the contract to bring it up.

They were very courteous and there was no pressure. We gat a fair deal on our trade in even though it was in a little bit of rough shape. They took the time to explain all of the car’s features. I would recommend them to anyone looking to trade in a car.

I was treated very good. They answered all questions and gave quotes before work was done. Even though I thought the cost was way high for what was done,they did not try to sell me on parts not needed as other dealers have done.
