Great customer service.
Great customer service. Exceeded my expectations. Found exactly what I was looking for. I had purchased a new Explorer 5 years ago and had the same great experience. Consistent through time.
Great car
Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

Kristen Blythe is great.
Kristen Blythe is great. Our family have bought several cars from her over the years and followed her to this new location. She always helps us get the best deals and helps navigate which cars will work for budget and meet our needs. I met her 6 years ago when she helped me get a better deal after another dealer screwed us. She genuinely cars about her clients (Friends). Thank you!
2023 Ford Explorer XLT
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

Kelly Mac sold us a great car!
Kelly Mac sold us a great car! She was knowledgeable about the car and gave us options. She wasn’s pushy but kind, she was patient enough to allow us to make our own decision. A great asset to the Nissan Company. Loved her funny personality and interest in us. Thank you Kelly. We will refer other customers to see her at Nissan.
Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

Every aspect of this purchase was handled professionally
Every aspect of this purchase was handled professionally and efficiently, from calling in to verify the availability of the product to finalizing the purchase and driving away with my "new" vehicle.
Impressive
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

It was worth the drive!
My husband and I picked up our new 2022 Mazda 3 yesterday. We live in Green Valley but could not find the car we wanted closer than Scottsdale. We dealt with Austin Mougel by email and texts to trade our vehicle and buy the Mazda we wanted. We could not be more pleased with the pleasant, careful and thorough process completed by Austin and the rest of the Mark Mazda team.

BigTwo - Best Toyota Dealership in AZ
I worked with Phuong (online sales) to secure my 2022 Tundra. She was great to work with, and I got the vehicle I wanted. I worked with five other Toyota dealerships, and BigTwo was the best in terms of Customer Service and deal making. I live in Tucson and prefer BigTwo to my other local dealerships. Thank you Phuong!

That was the easiest new car purchase I have EVER made.
That was the easiest new car purchase I have EVER made. Art was the salesman. He was perfect because he owned the same model I was buying. No pressure. No hassles. Are you ready for this? No add-ons. That was a battle I was dreading. Nope, no worries. Price came in at what I was hoping it would. Wow, all the trials and tribulations I have been going through and I just needed to go to Earnhardt. Thanks Art and you too Chris, (finance guy).

Robert the salesman of choice. You can't beat Velma for being introduced to and familiarization with an automobile. For service, Josh is the go to man. He is top notch in the field of service writers.
