I recently purchased a vehicle from Global Imports BMW
I recently purchased a vehicle from Global Imports BMW and had the pleasure of working with Taylor Nielsen. As an out-of-state customer, I was initially concerned about the process, but Taylor made everything incredibly smooth from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, patient, and highly professional throughout. Even on his day off, Taylor went above and beyond to secure a great deal for me. The vehicle was delivered in excellent condition within just 3 days, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Taylor Nielsen and Global Imports BMW to anyone looking for a seamless and trustworthy car buying experience.
I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Shoutout to Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Chevrolet in Duluth
Shoutout to Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Chevrolet in Duluth for an amazing car buying experience! Few, my salesman, was top-notch?professional, patient, and answered all my questions with care. I spotted my car online at one of their other locations, and they made sure it was shipped to Atlanta. They even gave me a loaner to ride in style until it arrived. After returning from vacation and taking that test drive, I was sold?I fell in love! I?m truly grateful for a great deal, a smooth process, and an awesome new ride. #GhostPepperAMG #RickHendrickDuluth #NewCarVibes #LuxuryWhip #CarGoals #BlessedAndGrateful #AMGLife #CarLove #SmoothRide

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Great dealership, Keith helps us on a very cold Georgia
Great dealership, Keith helps us on a very cold Georgia night, followed up the next day. We bought a beautiful Ford Edge!
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

Over the top car buying experience.
Over the top car buying experience. Our salesman was great knowledgeable. The finance person was great. He ke spent time with us and got us a good rate
love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

Amazing!!!!!!
I had amazing Fast Pace experience even though it took me 3 days to get my car due to My inability to provide the documents they needed.however going on the lot getting pre-approved over the phone walking in and walking out with my vehicle was the easiest process I've ever faced. John was very helpful and Adrian was the greatest he worked with me every step of the way and he made sure I drove off the lot with the car i wanted. Even more so when I didn't even think or believe they can get me financed and not to mention they put a bow on the car I felt very special and the customer service made me feel very confident I am so grateful for you guys thank you so much CarMax!!!!!!!!!

Reggie was incredible. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and overwhelmed and he was so patient and thorough. He wasn?t just trying to sell, he really wanted to help me find what worked best for our family. 10/10!!!

I called on Saturday about a infinity g37. Greg answered my call and said ask for him when I came in. When I got there the place was super busy but everyone was friendly. I asked for Greg he already had the car out front for us. He was open and honest about the car. It's a used car at a great price but never would I of thought the salesman would be honest about the condition of it. We test drove it and decided to buy. Greg treated us with respect and honesty through the whole process. I asked that a sensor that Greg told us about be changed and the car given a oil change. Greg said it would be Monday before the car was ready. Greg called me early Monday afternoon and said the car was ready. I came in and completed the sale. I can't speak for anyone else at this dealership but if you want a honest salesman and to be treated right ask for Greg.

Hooper is great!!!
We have great service experience every time we come here and have an issue or just doing maintenance for our Durango SRT. Hooper is awesome, very friendly and helpful. Hooper went above and beyond in writing a note so that I can show it to the shop that previously changed the wrong size oil filter. Will definitely come back again.

Great Customer Service and Assistance
The salesman (Jerrel) was great to work with because he helped me while he was there Orr if he was off that day. He got me a car from another store then found out there were problems and found me a car around the same price range that was newer and less miles. Thanks for everything!
