TLDR; Overall mostly par for the course experience in purchasing a car at a dealership. All loose…read moreends resolved within a week. Fastest resolution yet. Really nice and friendly people in all departments.
General experience: The location of the dealership is very convenient. The inside was clean, and the cars we test drove were in clean condition. Everyone seemed nice, although we didn't really interact with anyone other than Brent and Sam.
Sales experience: We worked with Brent. He was very easy going and not uptight, unlike other salespeople we've worked with in the past that wore full suits and were so formal to the point of making us a bit uncomfortable. He did his best to make this an easy process and was accommodating, despite our availability always having been very close to end of the day.
Financing experience: We worked with Sam for the tail end of negotiation and financing. We made sure to send everything ahead to make the process easier, but Sam also worked hard to make things as easy and painless as possible. We were extremely dreading the financing stage, as for our past cars, we were stuck at hours at this stage. But nope. Sam made it as painless, while explaining and answering any questions we had.
Delivery experience: When we came for delivery, we signed paperwork, and we were thankful that Brent and Sam had made it very streamlined. It was toward the end of the day, so we were all kind of tired. When I got home, I noticed that a couple things that were listed as add ons on the window sticker were missing, so I reached out. The resolution was quick on these.
Overall buying experience: Overall, it was painless, but we were also not really trying to extract every dime, and there were a couple loose ends to be tied up, but those were resolved within a week. I have yet to have a single car buying experience that did not require a follow up from us to get some loose ends tied up, but this is one of the more minor (albeit still a few hundred dollars worth) loose end in comparison to my other experiences.
Everyone is nice and made it super easy, so if for nothing, just drop by and see what they have and what they can do for you. Might not end up being the best deal in the country that you end up getting, but it will be a decent enough deal and they make it as easy to get through the process as you help them to make it.
Add on: Also, shout out to (I think it was) Tyler at the parts department. He is super helpful and gets the job done. Helped me find a part I wanted and checked the stock for me too and knew exactly what I was talking about when I headed in to purchase it.
Another add on: The service people (so sorry, I am so bad with names...) are really nice and from talking to them, it seems they really care about taking care of their customers, unlike many of the other dealerships I've had the displeasure of dealing with. The jury's still out on whether the actual service work will be good, but with the vibes this place has and the positive attitude that the employees seem to have, I have a positive outlook on how the service currently underway will turn out.
