I went in needing an upgrade and I was greeted by a kind and professional salesperson. They helped me thru the entire process without being pushy and overselling. I left with a beautiful certified pre-owned vehicle.

Communication from the service department was poor.

Communication from the service department was poor. They quoted me $1500 in repairs, which I approved, and did not fix the problem for which I brought in the car. It took another 5 weeks for them to finally fix the problem, and they failed to communicate with me unless I reached out to them. They did provide a free rental after the first repairs did not fix the problem, but the lack of communication makes me want to never return.

Excellent dealer, provided vehicle choice, customer service, explanation of financing, financing, delivery of vehicle, and understanding of options, warranty and service. Entire process was the best I have received in years. Other dealers in Flint and Grand Blanc should learn from this dealer.

Would nor have even given 1 star but website will not let me give negative stars. Worst experience ever. Needed tires and an alignment. Took more than a week and vehicle still not done. When I did get it back, not everything had been completed. Will never take anything there and definitely would not recommend anyone take anything there.

No response from the dealer when asked for their best

No response from the dealer when asked for their best price out the door on a vehicle that I was interested in buying. They (like many other dealers) were asking a higher price for a Used van (2021 model) that was above the MSRP for a new 2023 vehicle. So frustrating... too many games.

xx Just be transparent with your pricing without having to call and speak with somebody who has zero authority to volunteer your best price. Your predatory sales techniques are unwanted.
