I am an old man and I did buy a few cars in my life.
I am an old man and I did buy a few cars in my life. Arrowhead Lexus are high above the rest as far as customer service and sales are concerned. I delt with Mr Ali Zaidi. He is an absolute gentleman, offering a way to sell and guide you as we should expect to receive with any dealer. He drove me through the usual process of car sales, but with a high level of respect, communication and making sure we were always in the same understanding. This is what customer service is all about, unfortunately, not found very often. Thank you Sir for being so professional and so gentleman. The experience was a pleasure, where trust was shared.
I bought my 2009 forester with 200k on the click.
I bought my 2009 forester with 200k on the click. She was well locked after but has a few scratches here and there but paint work is still beautiful. Performance is great but she is heavy on fuel. This is expected from an AWD as the engine is pulling all 4 wheels continuously at the same time. No oil leaks, aircon works well. The only major issue I have had was the thermostat falling. I caused my radiator to crack due to pressure building up. I removed it and she is running perfectly. I live at the coast in South africa so our winter temp never drop below 10° and our summer average at 30°. Overall, I'll will be buying another forester with it's great space and power....love it

Allie my salesperson went so far above and beyond what I would expect buying a new car. I couldn't recommend dealing with her more highly. I have only had limited dealings with Kendall Ford before, and only with the service department. Was better than average, but not terribly exceptional. Now the interesting part begins. Sales department gained me as customer for this dealership. Can the service department keep me.
Dependable AWD
Have a 2009 with 110K miles on it. Very dependable. Averaging 25.8 MPG right now- not too bad for older AWD. I do drive the speed limit and accelerate probably slower than most, and brake easy. Only averaged 24 or so on the Oregon 101 by ocean- hilly, curvy and logging trucks on my butt. Good car. Don't miss my big has guzzler at all!!

Our third Subaru.
We love Subaru cars. We recently purchased an Ascent in the last week and went back to Subaru because we have been very satisfied. The Two Foresters we have owned and a previous purchase of a Tribeca have made us life time Subaru owners

Very straight forward and willing to answer all questions
Very straight forward and willing to answer all questions even before you ask. This is the main reason I got my Honda Element EX from them. They made it easy for me to make this purchase, quick fast and easy.
Reliable
Spatial, smooth and AWD, this will become a perfect adventure vehicle. Gigantic moon roof, great audio sound, and a very clean motor. For. 2009 it is definitely a solid vehicle.

Found a Toyota Tacoma at Rickie’s Auto LLC and it was perfect for me! I was warmly greeted by Terra and Lexie when I arrived for a test drive. They are very friendly and professional. The whole experience was incredibly comfortable, and that’s saying a lot for an older woman on her own. I highly recommend this dealership!

Just had a terrific experience recently at Kendall
Just had a terrific experience recently at Kendall Volkswagen in Bend, OR. The Sales Executive, Zac Wright, was top notch. The Sales Manager, Eric Kelley, was proactive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The GM, Deen Hydes, made sure the entire team worked through the processes efficiently and supported what I needed to get a deal done. The result: we drove off the lot in a beautiful, 2025 Tiguan RES-R-Line. Highly recommend the team at Kendall Volkswagen in Bend!

I highly recommend Zone Motor's Chicago and will b
Zone Motor's Chicago at 525 W Fullerton Ave, Addison, IL 60101, the experience was absolutely smooth and pleasant. The sales associate Ray and Joe were very knowledgeable about the vehicle. He explained everything about the vehicle that I didn’t see at other Mercedes dealers that I had test driven at. Not pushy, or aggressive selling but confident and gave us our space and let us make the decisions under no pressure. They gave us the time to decide and encouraged us to explore and research. I didn’t get this experience anywhere else. The buying experience was smooth and very nice and the sales person's Ray & Joe got us a good deal. This is a great place to buy a Mercedes. No high strung, bottom line aware aggressive pushers sales and service guys here. Just normal, knowledgeable, and regular people who know a lot about Mercedes. I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how my interaction and sale went. We got the deal done and we were in and out quickly with a new car. Fantastic customer service. I highly recommend Zone Motor's Chicago and will be a loyal customer. Thank you Ray & Joe for such a welcoming experience.
