Stopped in today to look @ a Journey found on marketplace. When pulling up we were promptly greeted by Junior. We told him which vehicle we were interested in & he knew exactly where to head. This is a little...unassuming. But im a firm believer that such places provide the best service & the prices tend to be better because you're not being charged for an extravagant location. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Eagle is a small, family owned business when i went in to the office and was introduced to the other gentleman as "Ken my brother-in-law, his father-in-law owns the dealership." I gathered that most of their dales are online auctions. I put money down on a vehicle w a contingent agreement written up for windshield replacement and a sensor issue to be addressed. I am very appreciative for the no pushy sales pitch. Junior was friendly and didn't pressure me in to a purchase or any sales pitch. Here's to hoping the issues are worked out & i have a new vehicle in a few days!
UPDATE: in less than 24 hours since we went to the dealership Junior text that the windshield had been replaced and the thermostat issue was a $60 sensor that they went ahead and replaced. Great service!! I called Junior and asked if since I was 13 miles away could he possibly pick me up? He picked me up within the hour! On our way I asked if there was a full tank? There was half.....so as we did paperwork I asked if I could possibly get a full tank? Like every other request I had, Junior obliged! I'm telling you this was such a stress free process... Driving home I noticed how nicely they had shined up the interior...thanks! THANK YOU Junior!! Near crisis averted!! I don't know where it was...but as I was waiting to cross the highway to leave... I saw Junior running towards me..... I had left my license!! Ohhhh that would have been bad. Again, thank you!! As I told Junior on our drive.... I have a niece in the cities looking for a car, I told her this morning I was so happy w the experience yesterday I told her to check out their website and marketplace. Thanks for a great experience and customer service Junior and Eagle Motors, I intend to tell my city friends you're worth the drive when they're in the used car market!
UPDATE #2 after leaving town I stopped by a friends home who recently retired after owning an auto shop for decades. He saw evidence of a transmission fluid leak and the splash guard was missing. He wasn't concerned about either issue but I reached out to Junior. He did note "I noticed that the bumper was scuffed, I'm glad to see, means it hasn't been replaced". Junior didn't seem aware of either issue but asked when I'd be back in town so their local mechanic could look at it? I appreciated that he didn't pressure me to come back down immediately, just said to let him know when I'd be back so we could get it in. Surprise two weeks later I was in town as of Sunday night. First thing Monday morning Junior was on the horn to see if I could drop it off? I said Tuesday would work better so we made plans for me to drop it off @ 9:30a. Apple Auto had it all day and when Junior called that I could pick it up he also said "they didn't find a leak, saw evidence of a leak, but no leak. So he put a dye in and if I could drive it for a few days and bring it back in. A few days went by and I text Friday... just after close!! I should have called! Monday morning I called first thing and was told I could bring it up and given a time frame of how long it may take. When I pulled up Junior came out, began profusely apologizing for our lack in communication. I felt bad, he didn't need to do that, I was at fault too!! But...he owned it and that speaks VOLUMES for his and Eagle Motors integrity!! He then said he was giving me the black Forrester for the day, handed me the key and away I went! A car for the day w a full tank of gas, thank you! Outcome? I had the Eagle & Apple chasing a ghost! There was a leak, before, fixed, but not cleaned up, and the splash guard not replaced. The pieces came together. I APOLOGIZE for all the work and hassle I put these two places through! I am deeply grateful for not being charged for any work for a non-existent issue. Eagle Motors sold me a fine used vehicle in proper working order w top notch customer service and clearly a model to take care of and keep the customer satisfied! Upon pick up of my Journey I also got to meet and talk to owner Troy, also a delightful fellow. Thank you Eagle Motors and Junior, still recommending you to everyone I talk to about my new to me Journey! read more
