I bought a 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2-door coupe from Doug Carter, sight unseen, over email/online. Doug sent me the purchase agreement right away, along with an AutoCheck report, and even lined up delivery for me in Iowa at a great, low price. Not only that, but Doug and his team gratuitously fixed a few minor cosmetic issues on the vehicle without me even asking, and shared that nice little surprise with me at the same time they notified me that my vehicle was on its way to my state! THAT is excellent customer service and it easily saved me a few hundred dollars on the back-end, on top of the vehicle already being listed at a "great price" as per similar vehicles on the market. I bought this car for my daughter--but--if she doesn't want it--I'm taking it! Thank you, Doug, for your service, dedication, and going the extra mile when you didn't have to. Folks--don't be scared to buy online; you just have to work with a trustworthy dealer. A+ for Doug.

Jessica, thank you for your business and finding us for your automobile needs. It was awesome working with you, and I am sure your daughter will like the vehicle. Just tell her my first vehicle was a $500 1979 Pontiac Lemans (brown) a color that is not a good color for any vehicle. Again, thank you. You have all of my information if you need to reach out. Thank you, Douglas G. Carter

We, my husband an I, traveled from Leavenworth, Kansas on 9/12/2026 to this dealership. We were there to look at the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL. The internet says that they open at 9, but the sign on the entrance says 10. So, went and looked at the car. This had to be a little after 9. A gentleman came out of the business and went around to the back. He never said anything to us. So, we decided to drive to Northtowne Mitsubishi in Missouri, and then come back to Lawrence. We are African Americans and driving a 2005 Volvo XC70. Good customer service is important to us. We made our trip to Northtowne Mitsubishi, and I really wanted to go back. My husband and daughter disagreed. So, I called the dealership back and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. The person I spoke to was full of excuses. First, the salesman was dealing with another customer, and the person I spoke to said he was in the back of the store. I asked if they have cameras, and he said yes. So, he saw us and never acknowledged us. Never, ever judge a book by it's cover. We may not have looked like we were a good sale, but we had the money to pay for a car that you are struggling to sell. He came to the conclusion and named it racism, before I mentioned it. Then he promised to sue if I wrote this review.

Dealer response

Sharon, Thank you for driving in from Leavenworth. We’re sorry the visit felt like that. Saturdays we run a smaller crew. On 9/12 we opened at 9:00, which matches the hours online. An employee had already come in at 8:00 for another customer, so the doors were unlocked earlier. The sign on the door already showed winter hours of 10:00, which start October 1. The sign company had just changed it. That mismatch is on us. The employee you saw leave the building around 9:00 had buyers with him. He was taking their car around back to detail and does not recall seeing you. He was focused on the people already in the dealership. And says it's possible he missed someone between the cars and the front door. The other employee was in the back of the store while you were on the lot. We reviewed the cameras. It does not appear you came inside either. The 10:00 sign on the door may have been why. Neither employee is paid unless a car sells. They do not skip people because of the car they arrive in or because of race. The cameras are a security system. There is no live monitor at the desk. Nobody watched you on a screen and chose not to come out. There was no conversation until you called later that day. The employee explained that no one knew you had stopped by and asked more than once if you wanted to come back. That offer still stands. 785-856-0280. Selection Autos

Great experience! Helpful but laid back. It was an enjoyable purchase. We never felt rushed or pressured.

Very nice staff and not pushy at all. Absolutely loved my experience to be able to take my time and test drive as many cars I wanted.

Very easy-going staff. NO HARD SELL! I'd recommend to friend/family. Our time bumped against another appointment, but they were able to make time for all the paperwork. One downside: we were misinformed about the shop's ability to install necessary equipment. Instead we had to go to KC, and are still waiting for our appointment. More than a month will go by before I can drive my car. Not Selection's fault, but we would have planned differently had we known they couldn't install the equipment.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share it, and we’re glad the staff made the experience easy and low-pressure. It means a lot that you’d recommend us to friends and family. We’re sorry about the confusion regarding installation of the mobility equipment. You’re right that it would have been better if that had been clearer from the start so you could have planned accordingly. In Kansas, modifying braking and acceleration systems on mobility devices requires specialized insurance and training that not every shop is licensed to provide. Unfortunately, we don’t currently hold that certification, which is why the work had to be handled in KC. We understand how frustrating the delay is, especially when it’s more than a month before you can get back on the road. If there’s anything we can do to help coordinate or make the process smoother on our end, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing us.
