Fernando was wonderful to deal with. He was laid back, answered all questions and let the truck sell itself. He was not pushy at all! The process was simply and easy! They delivered and took our trade. Truck came detailed and with new tires. Every person we dealt with was professional and made this experience so seamless. Would highly recommend them!! read more

Bought a Genesis 2026 with low mileage at Champagne. Car was never inspected and was sold with warped rotors, no oil change, etc. Fernando said. "I have buyers remorse" but the truth is they are not reputable and make sure you get what you pay for. They are as you say, lot people and have not the skills to treat you as a customer. The owner will not pick up the phone and is always not available. Do yourself a favor and buy elsewhere. read more

Best experience I have ever had buying a car. Looks like they put a lot of efforts selecting cars and then service them which I guess makes the sales team confident, so it is no pressure sale, but with every step thoroughly communicated. I feel like I got lucky and had a bargain there vs other dealers when you feel getting scammed lol read more

Champagne Motor Car - Car Dealers Near Me - Willimantic, Connecticut

Sold me a car a year ago - I didnt commute during the pandemic... it's always vibrated a little since I got it, drove a total of 7,500 miles, brought it to get inspected by Infiniti because of the vibration, and they said the tires are down to the metal chords and the car needs new tires and brakes already... Don't trust their 'safety' inspection. read more

I want to tell you about our experience with Ken, Kevin and Fernando at Champagne Motors. My wife and I usually trade in our used vehicle every 3-4 years and buy another 2 or 3 year old similar model. We often go to the dealership and buy CPO but we shop around for the right mix. We came across Champagne Motors from Cars.com and found a vehicle we felt was a match. As we'd never done business with this dealership before we did as much research as we could. We found almost all reviews were 5 star which can sometimes be a warning sign in and of itself. I also researched the history of the dealership and came across this story, written by the owner and it really seemed genuine and sincere: https://champagnemotorcarcompany.com/about-us/info We went and tested the vehicle, 2018 with 20k miles and virtually the same vehicle we'd been driving for the last 3 years but with newer tech. Ken and Fernando offered us the best price we'd found and the absolute best trade value (by $2500) for our old car. They were both extremely low pressure (like no pressure) and amazingly accommodating. Long story short we bought the vehicle. When we drove the vehicle off the lot my wife innocently asked me "This has front cameras, right?". Of course it does honey! She said "show me". You see she's petite and this is a pretty large SUV, she uses the front cameras on our old vehicle everyday. At the next stop signal I switched the vehicle into reverse and back into drive and guess what ... No front cameras! This car had heated and cooled drink holders but the manufacturer made front cameras a separate option this newer year and this SUV didn't have it. We were both shocked and very upset at ourselves for missing it. What could we do? I told my wife I'd call them in the AM but I doubt they'd help, it wasn't their fault, they didn't know it was a must have for us. When I called them the next day (and I mean this in the most sincere way) Ken restored my faith in compassion and honest good business. He said "No problem at all, I can cancel the entire transaction, like it never happened and I can hunt down the features you're looking for". WOW! Keep in mind, he had no obligation to do this, it most likely cost him some money and it was all our fault. Not only did he follow through he had his runner bring our trade back to our house and then a few days later he found us an even better deal on a car with even more features, including front cameras. Champagne is our new go to dealership. I can't recommend these guys strongly enough and I sincerely suggest you speak to Ken and Fernando, tell them what's important to you and they will take outstanding care of you. Kevin is their finance manager and he will make the paperwork process virtually seamless. They delivered the second car and paperwork to my home (couldn't have been easier). read more

What a pleasure to work with this dealership! Purchased a slightly used Honda with no hasslr. Every member of the team is a consulate professional esp our sales rep Joe. They also have an amazing array of high end vehicles too! read more

Champagne Motor Car - Love this place! - Car Dealers Near Me - Willimantic, Connecticut

No need to bring your sunglasses, this place is about as shady as they come. I bought a jeep from them and while their salesperson Fernando was pleasant enough, he misrepresented the car when we talked on the phone. I was planning on buying a jeep from them. I am an out of state buyer and was solely relying on them regarding condition. My main concern was tires. I was assured they were at least 50% if not they would replace them. On this information I went ahead and bought the car. I had it delivered and the 1st thing I noticed when the car was delivered was the condition of the ties. Being an out of state car I had to get it inspected at my own cost no allowance was given. My mechanic did the inspection and mentioned to me that although the tires were in passable condition he recommended they be replaced. When I brought this up the the salesman he then went back on his word and said that if they passed that's all they were responsible for. I am now out $1300.00 for new tires and $100.00 for inspection - something any car dealer should be responsible for when selling it at a retail price. Lastly please be aware that the price you see isn't the price you get there's also a $700.00 "fee" do your self a favor and find a ore reputable dealer read more

Absolute trash. I was lied to about the state of the vehicle and what they were doing to it as far as repairs and body work. I went to pick it up a week later, days after they said it would be 100% mechanically sound and showroom quality with a full detailing. I was told they were finishing up cleaning it, everything is perfect, let's do the paperwork! We did that, they drove the jeep around and NOTHING WAS DONE. All the scratches they said would be buffed were still there. The small dent on the bumper they promised to repair. Still there! The inside was vacuumed and wiped down but no detailing. Brakes, still shot. I mentioned all this and that I needed the car for work but that I could drop it back next week so they could make it right. The slimy salesman, Fernand(?) and the even slimier owner, Kenny, promised it would be taken care of. The following week I brought it in. They had it for a full week and told me it was all set. I came to pick it up and the only thing they had done was badly take care of the bumper dent. Brakes were still shot. A week later I'm having fuel line issues. Had they done the full combover of the vehicle that they swore they did, this would've been caught. They have no problem lying to your face and taking your money, sending you off with an unsafe ride! I'm going to do the work myself, especially knowing now how garbage their service and body shops are. read more

What a wonderful dealership, Top Quality Service from the first email, walking into the dealership all the way through to signing the papers. The owner made it a point to come say hello and thanked us for coming in to his dealership. Our Sales Advisor Joe was hands down the best, very transparent, didn't waste our time and at no point pushing us to buy. He went above and beyond even before we came into the location and exceeded our expectations during the sale process. If you want to buy a car without the hidden fees, pushy sales people, and people who want to sell you a reliable amazing quality vehicle, We highly recommend this dealership. Thank you Joe, Kenny and everyone at Champange Motors Car Co. read more

I live in Bay CA, I bought 2017 Jaguar XF few months ago and I found one of the Park Assist Camera was missing the day I received my car. I called Salesman named Fernando and he said he didn't knew about it and will pay me $500 for camera after I got delivery of my car in December 11th 2020, whereas Camera itself cost $689+tax in bay area Jaguar dealership + installation is another $200-300. But Fernando said he needs to get approval from Kenny, I talked to Kenny he said he only approves $400. and hung up on me. I called again was trying to explain it's gonna cost me more but at least pay me $500 as Fernando promised on December 16th and they said they are not gonna pay anything and hung up again. I noticed this issue very first day (25th Nov) while he sent me pictures and video of car that something is wrong with cameras but Fernando wouldn't listen and got frustrate after I asked him to double check cameras of car and he sent me text "everything on that car works." Beware and just don't trust their pictures and what they say, always but car from them after looking at car in person. They're not trustworthy and don't keep their words. Don't buy their cars by just taking look at pictures. And I hope my $500 or more they kept do some good for them. Amen read more

My wife and I went to Champagne Motorcar Company today and purchased a 2015 Honda Odyssey with the help of Joe. I can honestly say that this car buying experience was the best that I have ever had. I was not followed around the dealership, I was not talked to like I knew nothing about the process, and there simply was no pressure. In today's day and age most of the car buying process is started online. I had been looking for over a month and when I found this vehicle I knew it wouldn't last. It is refreshing to have a dealer in the area that is fair and treats people with respect. We even traded in our current vehicle, and we were offered exactly what I asked for it. No haggling, no back and forth with a manager, just a good process. Joe made the process extremely comfortable and was very attentive to our time. Kevin the finance manager was straight to the point, and attentive as well. I was pleasantly surprised when Joe said that they would deliver the car to us as well! Mind you we live about 45 minutes away. Champagne Motorcar Company is a diamond in the rough. I will be recommending this dealership when anyone asks me where to look for a quality vehicle and I look forward to making my next vehicle purchase there when the time comes. read more

Made a strong offer on a car and was told no negotiations! Overpriced by $4K by car gurus and KBB. Had a mint trade and no desire to work a deal. If you don't mind spending extra and taking a loss on your trade this is the place! read more

Champagne motors is truly a life saver. I honestly do not know what I would do without them! I drive a hand-me-down 2005 Cadillac Escalade that has been in the family for over 10 years. There seems to be an issue with my car every other week. I am so thankful that Champagne motors is right down the road for me. I usually make an appointment and have the service department fix whatever the issue is, and in no time it is fixed within the same day I called. They have helped me with SO much. (flat tires, check-engine lights etc.)There have been other times when I have been in a rush and one of my check engine lights were on and I popped my head in champagne motors and they took care of the issue in a jiffy! I am sure by now they are sick of seeing my car in the service parking lot, but I am so grateful!! Amazing customer service here at Champagne motors. A true 5 star earning! read more

I purchased a late model Mercedes via the internet from Champagne Motors. They made the process extremely easy and made every attempt to accommodate me. Not only was the car an excellent choice (never having seen it in person it exceeded the written description) but they stood behind the product they sold. They display integrity and honesty in dealing with the customer and I trust them totally. read more

We recently purchased a 2016 X4 BMW from Champagne. Best experience I've had at a dealer to date. From the initial visit through to the close of the deal they were low pressure, very courteous and accommodating. Their prices were more than reasonable, they went above and beyond adding new tires and a 2nd key fob to our surprise at pick up. They will be our first choice when we purchase our next vehicle. read more

I found my BMW 4 series at Champagne Motor Car in CT and I couldn't be happier with their efficient process. I was looking for a BMW 4 series in Estoril Blue with the M Sport package, which was very hard to find. I was only able to locate 2 within 250 mi in a 2 month time-span. This dealership had the exact car I was looking for so I made the trip one night during the week to look at it (150 mi). This dealership has several exotic cars on their lot (very tempting!!). George and Kevin did not mind staying open late for us which we REALLY appreciated. The car was exactly as described. We were aware of a few scratches on the bumper, which they were happy to fix for us, and the car looks absolutely flawless. George stayed in touch with me and sent me updates daily, which made the whole process easy and worry-free. At one point, I told George I would stop bothering him with questions and he replied "Don't worry, It's my job!" Initially, I was hesitant to use a dealership so far away but I received better customer service with Champagne Motor Car (150 mi away) than dealerships I have used which were 10 minutes away. I would recommend this dealership to anyone I know. My car was delivered to me in NJ a few days later, looking perfectly clean and shiny with a full tank of gas! :] read more

Finally, an honest, friendly, automotive dealer with top quality cars, and a top quality staff to match. I'm a car enthusiast, and recently my car was totaled by a distracted, texting, driver. Not only was I traumatized, I was truly depressed. I searched through 35 web pages for the car to replace mine, and found it at Champagne Motor Car Company. Fernando in sales, Kevin in finance, Ken Champagne the dealership owner, all treated me with understanding, compassion, patience, and honesty! They were patient through the whole process of settling my insurance claim, and never once did they try to pressure or rush me. The car I picked was everything they said it was and more! I drove 100 miles to see the car and the entire experience there was worth it! I never felt like I was being sold anything, it was more like mutual friends in agreement on a mission. I purchased the car and I'm loving it! Most important though, is the satisfying experience of being treated and respected not only as a potential customer, but as a new friend. Even Kendra, who I did not meet, was efficient, professional, and courteous, in facilitating my registering of the vehicle. If you are looking for a top quality used car, and want a top quality sales experience to go with it, the Champagne Motor Car is your ONLY stop! read more
