Dan Cummins of Georgetown review

Start to Finish was fast and easy.

Start to Finish was fast and easy. Jace the salesman was fast and knowledgeable and answered every and all questions that I asked. I bought this for my 18 year old daughter and we drove 4 hours from home to buy from Dan Cummins. When we pull in her vehicle was by the door with a bow on it. Finance ended up saving me over 60 dollars a month on the payment. Awesome experience. Another plus is that they have multiple dealerships as far as Chevy, Ford, Ram. Will definitely buy from Jace and Dan Cummins again.

2012 Nissan Maxima SV review

Bought my '12 Max SV (my 3rd one btw) Jan 2013.

Bought my '12 Max SV (my 3rd one btw) Jan 2013. 1 of 2 left on lot. MSRP 38 G. Pd 28G out the door. Now with 86000 miles. Only tires, oil changes and rear brakes. NO problems at all with a plus on performance. Best car I've ever had and my 1985 and 1993 were great cars too. May end up being the last car I have to buy. Always garaged and above average in and out and Edmunds says it's worth $3700. Hoping would be 5G at least.

2012 Nissan Maxima S review

This is a great car.

This is a great car. Good on gas. Need for speed.lol. it has the space you need for the inside definently leg room and trunk space. If you keep up the maintenance on it you good. There is one thing that's a continued problem that I had was the power steering pump it seems like it was a common problem every year that I had the car and obviously nissan knew it but they never did a recall on it and I kept checking.

Simply the best to deal with!

Simply the best to deal with! I have purchased 4 cars in the last two years and loved everyone of them. Logan and Kurt do a wonderful job! Highly recommend them for all your automotive needs.

2012 Nissan Maxima SV review

Bought my Maxima new and just about to hit 190k.

Bought my Maxima new and just about to hit 190k. It has only needed tires, brakes and oil changes. Everything still works but it is showing its age. My only complaint is the rear window defroster started bubbling about 20k ago. It is an SV with performance suspension, it’s fast and fun to drive. Good solid transportation and the body style has head up given its 12 years old

2012 Nissan Maxima SV review

Maxima is well worth your time

I give the Maxima SV a 4.9 due to the near-sighted placement of the outlets to charge my phone. However, the 2012 Nissan Maxima SV is one fine ride. I have owned 30+ vehicles since '76, including top of the line sport models from GM, Ford, Chrysler. I owned a Datsun 240Z in the early 80's & purchased my 2012 Maxima SV ("Maximus") in 2017 with the memories of driving that Datsun foremost in my mind. I am proof little old ladies can have fun, because driving THIS car is so much fun! I am retired, & use my car for the usual; shopping, visiting with friends, etc. I live in a very rural part of Appalachia & regularly must drive 30+ miles to reach a Supercenter type store on curves, up & down hills that can intimidate the best drivers. "Maximus" laughs in the face of triple switch-backs on an average 8% grade. Plus, the Bose sound system, with 'Music Box' (records & stores every CD played) ensures I'm driving to my favorite music. The paddle-shifting, powerful acceleration, & extreme comfort of the Maxima makes it my favorite so far. If not for the unfortunate engineering that placed the outlet too close to the cup holder for my liking, I would score the Maxima SV a cool 5 ☆'s!!!

Gaughan Auto Store review

We recently purchased a vehicle from Gaughan.

We recently purchased a vehicle from Gaughan. Corey was our salesman. He was very friendly an knowledgeable about various vehicles and questions, which we had asked. Corey did not try to push a sale on us. I appreciated that! When it came time to talk Financials, PJ was super friendly! PJ was also very informative but not pushy when it came to different options, regarding financing the vehicle. Overall, everyone with whom we came in contact with was super friendly! I would definitely recommend Gaughan Auto to anyone looking for a vehicle. Great Job Guys!

AdvantEdge Quality Cars review

Car purchase

I was reluctant to go to small lots because of all the stereotypes but they had the car I wanted and Bo responded quickly to my internet search.During the test drive I made the decision to buy if I could arrive at a satisfactory price.I had it all written out on a notebook the price I was willing to pay and the taxes the only thing I didn’t figure in was the prep fee we basically split the difference and closed the deal.I financed part of the car and got a good rate.Bo was great I told him I didn’t want any pressure and I received none.

Grubbs Volvo Cars Grapevine review

We are so impressed on how we were treated and the amount

We are so impressed on how we were treated and the amount of kindness that exists at Grubbs Volvo. We are usually BMW & Mercedes drivers and have been with a neighboring dealership for over 12 years. We didn't believe that we could ever make the switch, so glad we did. Its been. 6 months since our purchase and we are still in contact with our Sales Rep, we have also had a chance to visit with Service and we are still over the top impressed. Thank you Grubbs for making us part of your family. I have sent multiple messages to throughout my office about visiting your store for their next purchase. I want my staff to get the same experience we have had the privilege of receiving.

Had a great experience at JDM! I initally thought the prices were a bit high, but once Jasper explained all the services and work that had already been done on the car, I felt much more confident in the value he was super helpful, patient, and made the car buying process smooth and stress-free. Rose in finance was also amazing and helped me get into a car. Highly recommend JDM if you're looking for great service and a team that really cares!
