Hands Down The Best Experience!

This was our first time buying from a dealership, and Brody absolutely made this an A experience! From the first interaction to the last, he approached everything with our needs in mind, and really proved that customer satisfaction is his priority. He accommodated our odd schedule and was open to meeting us outside of regular hours to look at a car we saw online. We drove from Bloomington-Normal and he had the car warmed up for us, waiting for the test drive. There was never any moment that he was pushy for a sale or trying to sell us something we didn’t want. Needless to say - we fell in love with the car, and definitely were impressed by Brody and his dedication to his business and customer service. When we came back the next day to pick up the car it was dark and pouring rain - we pulled up and Brody was installing new wipers on it for us! Memorable customer service is about doing the little things for your customers - and supporting this small business will be something we do again when the time comes. Thank you Brody for your kindness, and we’ll be spreading the word!

Worth The Drive!

My family and I drove from Quincy, Illinois (2 hours) to look at a Jeep Cherokee at Manito Auto Sales. We got a little lost and didn’t get there until 10 minutes before close, but Brody stayed open an hour and a half passed closing time for us, and even pulled up the Jeep, ready for a test drive, and showed us his family’s race cars while we waited for a phone call regarding finances. He was extremely polite and came up with every option to make purchasing a car a stress free experience for us. My parents have had bad experiences in the past with other dealers, but they trusted that’s Brody was doing the best that he could, and appreciated that he was willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy. We recommend Manito Auto Sales to family and friends, and would definitely drive that boring 2 hr drive again to purchase another car from Brody! We love our new Jeep Cherokee!

Small Town Business At It's Best

This is why I love small businesses.. it is so laid back but still professional from start to finish. I didn't work with 5 different people, I worked with Brody and it was fantastic from start to finish. Will definitely be back!

Excellent experience

Brody was great to work with. Honest, helpful, knowledgeable. The transaction could not have been easier. When he learned I drove three hours to look at the vehicle and I needed to return another day to pick it up he offered to meet me halfway. What a help. When I need another vehicle in the future, I will definitely be checking with Brody.

Quick & Painless

I just purchased a Jeep from Brody. From the initial call to driving away with my new vehicle it was a great experience, very polite and knowledgeable. I would refer anyone to get with Brody before thinking of purchasing elsewhere.

very comfortable car buying experience

I found manito auto sales simply by seeing a car I liked sitting out on their lot. I had been dealing with high pressure, over priced and pushy car dealers. So I gave brody a call and he got me the car I wanted..at the price I needed all while listening to me whine about my week lol. He made the process so simple but explained everything thoroughly. I am already looking for a vehicle for my daughter with him and highly doubt I will look elsewhere. I feel completely comfortable with my decision to buy small town ...hands down beats the big city dealers.
