I went to the dealership looking for a new car to get into, and trade in my old one. Unfortunately with the negative equity on my old one, I couldn’t trade in, but still left with a new Rio. I love it! They helped me get something I liked, and a second car, which actually helped a lot more than I thought it would be worth.

This dealers facilities are very nice. My service advisor Andrew got me in and out. He’s new to the company and was very informative and clear about what my vehicle did or didn’t need. I recommend dealing with him for a guaranteed pleasant experience.

Quick service with reasonable pricing. I went in for an issue with my vehicle shaking when applying the brakes. My appointment was at 9 am and by 10:30 they had already fixed the problem, had explained why the issue happened in the first place, and explained how they were going to fix it. Wonderful service!

The sales guys were really nice and helpful. The guy who said he was the manager (I don't remember his name) came across very rude and put out when I asked questions. After being told the paperwork I submitted at the time of purchase for my trade in was sufficient, I felt slightly harassed by the amount of emails being told I had to get more information and documents from another person in the finance department. This was a couple weeks after the deal. It was daily. That was very frustrating and I don't feel that after you're told everything is good you should keep getting told you have to do things for someone that falls under their job to acquire.
