Although I did not purchase a vehicle I received excellent and courteous services from Ms.Emily Griggs
Fun and economical car, great value
The car is a great balance between performance, economy, comfort, and versatility. It manages to do all of those things well, if not great. It won't win any races but it's fun to drive.

Great experience and I love my truck!
Great experience and I love my truck! I have been looking for MONTHS for a nice LBZ, it has been a great truck for over a year, Levi Hamilton was great with assisting me and the rest of the staff made it a smooth process.
Solid, high quality, and fun to drive
My third VW Golf - this one has been the best - love it for it's versatility, low cost of ownership, reliability (only things I've had to replace is tires and battery in 112,000 miles) and joy of driving - not the fastest off the line but cornering, braking and high-speed driving / passing - wow!

I am so happy with my car purchase from Caleb at
I am so happy with my car purchase from Caleb at Countryside. He was so honest and the car is exactly how it was listed- even better. I drove 4 hours to pick up my Dodge Grand Caravan and the process was seamless. Caleb’s dad Steve had everything waiting for me on arrival and I was back on the road in my perfect van in less than 20 minutes! No gimmicks, no haggling, a great price, and honest salesman. I am definitely buying my next car at Countryside! Thank you Caleb and Steve! Dr M

Happy customer
I went looking for a specific car and they had one. I knew going into this search the car wouldn’t be perfect because of its age. They worked with me on so many levels to make the car exactly what I wanted and kept the price at or below the advertised price. Their cars are beautiful and they stand behind them so you will be happy. I recommend buying a used car from offlease motors simply because you will get what you want! BTW, Susan is a doll

My experience was phenomenal from pulling into the service bay to exiting after my service was complete. My service advisor was Robert Garcia and he was exceptional from start to finish. He made sure I understood the repairs needed and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the work and my car was ready as promised. He is a real asset to the dealership.

Very friendly and helpful service. They had no problem letting me take the car I was looking at to a shop to get inspected. Had Carfax available and even sent me home with a copy of it. Glad we were able to make a deal, Nick!
