AN EXPERIENCE WORTH THE DRIVE FROM BRENTWOOD!
My husband and I were honestly hesitant about driving all the way from Brentwood to San Jose to look at a truck we had seen online. I remember thinking, "Here we go... the minute we pull up, all the sales 'vultures' are going to come out!"
Well, I couldn't have been more WRONG!
We had an appointment with Sam, and from the moment we arrived, the entire experience was completely different from what I expected. No swarm of salespeople. No uncomfortable pressure. No aggressive sales tactics. Instead, Sam greeted us, already knew what we were looking for, and had the truck ready for us to test drive.
During the drive, I sat quietly in the back with my daughter while my husband drove and Sam sat up front. I was taking EVERYTHING in. The truck was nice, but by the time we returned to the dealership, I knew it wasn't the one. My husband looked too small driving it, the bed was too small, and although I loved the color, it just wasn't the truck I had envisioned.
So, of course, I added my two cents! Sam listened to everything I said ...and apparently, he was REALLY listening.
A short time later, he pulled around in another truck.
NOW WE'RE TALKING!!!
This truck had some BALLS! It had the size, presence, look, and feel I wanted. The minute I saw my husband driving it, I thought, THAT'S IT. That's our truck.
What impressed me most about Sam was that he was authentic, knowledgeable, relatable, and never once made us feel pressured. And ladies, you know how sometimes when you're shopping for a vehicle with your husband, the salesperson automatically directs everything toward him? Not Sam! He was smart enough to realize very quickly that he needed to listen to BOTH of us. He paid attention to what mattered to me, and ultimately showed us exactly what I had envisioned.
We left the dealership to take some time, look at other options, and make sure we were making the right decision but in my heart, I already knew. That was our truck.
Then came Bart, who worked with my husband, Ricky, over the phone. Bart was incredibly patient and genuinely did everything he could to work the numbers and make the deal worthwhile for us to come back. Thank you, Bart!
When we returned to the dealership, the experience somehow got even better. Between Sam, Bart, and our AMAZING closer, Richard in Finance, everything was packaged and ready to go.
Richard was thorough, friendly, professional, and made sure we understood everything and were completely taken care of. He made what can sometimes be the most exhausting part of buying a vehicle feel smooth and easy.
I can genuinely say that I have never had a car-buying experience like this one. The customer service was beyond exceptional, and I couldn't stop praising these gentlemen for the effort they put into making us feel valued not just like another sale.
Sam, Bart, and Richard you guys absolutely NAILED IT!
To our family, friends, and anyone reading this review: if you're looking for a vehicle, GO CHECK THEM OUT! It was absolutely worth our drive from Brentwood to San Jose, and I will gladly recommend this team to anyone looking for a great buying experience.
Thank you again, Chevrolet of San Jose, for taking such great care of us.
And most importantly...
I'M IN LOVE WITH OUR NEW TRUCK!!! read more
