My wife and I went looking for a new car since my wife's

My wife and I went looking for a new car since my wife's 19 MKZ was totaled in a accident. Olivia was our sales person and showed us a Caddy that we test drove but didn't like.We went back to her office desk and she asked us what did we want in the ideal car? We wanted another Lincoln so she viewed her entire McGovern inventory for us. She found us a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label with 24,000 miles on it.She offered to bring the car to Albany from the Mass. McGovern dealership under NO obligation to us. Cut to the chase...we fell in love with the car and purchased it. Chris the f&I manager completed all the required paperwork without a hitch! I brought the car back for a service and 1 repair which by the way they covered 100%. This dealership and its personel treat you like royality the minute you step in the door. I'm 72 and been around antique cars and cars in general all my life, and have NEVER been to a dealership like this, that treats you like a family member I will not go anywhere else for service or another car. My thanks to Olivia,Chriss,John Colvin,Jill and all the other people I dealt with including the owner, Matt McGovern Julie and I thank you all. Brian & Julie Wilson

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service I received during my visit this past Saturday. Honestly, I hadn’t planned on driving home in a new Genesis that day—but thanks to the outstanding team, that’s exactly what happened! It was a long day for my wife and me, but from start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. I truly appreciate the attention to detail, transparency, and friendliness shown by Mike, Erin, and Chris. It’s not every day that buying a car feels this easy and stress-free—so thank you again for making it such a positive experience. Also, I absolutely love the car! I’m still “tinkering” with all the technology and continue to be totally impressed. Thank you once again for a truly satisfying purchase.

We worked with with Erin and Ashley and found them to be

We worked with with Erin and Ashley and found them to be very knowledgeable and responsive. They were not pushy sales people and kept us informed as we waited for the arrival of our car. Erin spent at least an hour with us reviewing the car's features upon delivery which was super helpful and greatly appreciated!

Great People Selling Great Vehicles and Delivering a

Great People Selling Great Vehicles and Delivering a Great Experience Summary Erin Burke, Sales Consultant, exceeded my high expectations. I am thrilled with the 2025 G80 3.5 T Prestige sedan that I purchased. I would strongly recommended Genesis of Albany to a family member or friend. Details Erin Burke consistently demonstrated high standards of professionalism, in-depth product knowledge, and excellent communication skills throughout the sales process. I never felt rushed or pressured. Erin was patient, helpful, genuine, and energetically positive at all times. I can confidently say that Erin made this the best dealership experience, by far, in my 3 month long quest for a new vehicle. Thanks to Erin, I was able to purchase a vehicle that required no compromise, because it was exactly what I was looking for. Conclusion I can’t overemphasize that I wanted my car purchase experience to be special, because I had waited many years to purchase a car like the G80 3.5 T Prestige. Based on an exceptional dealership experience and ultra-high satisfaction level with my 2025 G80, I would strongly recommended Genesis of Albany to a family member, friend, or anyone who asks.
