R-E-S-P-E-C-T and I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y. Yes, respect and integrity are the two words that embody our overall impression and experience with Moody Motors.
We had been without a car of our own for almost three months following an accident that totaled our beloved 1991 Volvo. We had had to turn to friends to drive us to various car lot and dealers all over Tacoma and Pierce County in search of our next vehicle. It was exhausting and discouraging. Then after my mind was numb from all of the disappointments at other dealerships, my husband spotted an ad online for a compact SUV, a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT.
The Carfax report on the vehicle was clean and clear. NO accidents. ONE owner. Documented by Carfax as a "GREAT VALUE." Well, it sounded too good to be true. Especially after all of the other disappointments elsewhere and being flat-out lied to by another dealership that I won't name here.
We enlisted a good friend from University Place to drive us all the way out to Parkland to see this vehicle. My husband first saw the ad on a Thursday, but we couldn't get out there until Monday. It seemed (to me) that it would certainly have been sold by then and we would have driven all the way out there for nothing.
But there it was! And it was a beauty!
SPOTLESS! ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE -- INSIDE and OUT. Not a dent or a ding anywhere. Upholstery and carpet in PRISTINE condition. The mileage was right what we were looking for, too. And it was close to our budgeted amount, just a little over what we had budgeted.
"Moody" (the business owner himself) allowed us to negotiate the final price down to the penny of exactly what we had to work with -- even though it was worth much, much more.
We felt incredibly blessed.
We have owned the vehicle now for more than a month. It starts every time. It runs flawlessly. It's not just a new car to us. It feels like it's a brand-new car. When my husband and I were talking about a 'name' for the new car, we decided that since the Chevrolet Equinox LT is our new "pride and joy" we would simply call 'her' "Joy".
"Moody" and his other staff employees ALL treated us with respect, kindness, thoughtfulness, compassion, and consideration. We simply could not ask to be treated better than we were at Moody Motors.
Special thanks also to Washington State Employees Credit Union (WSECU) for making it all possible.
"Moody" told us that he has been in business for 13 years at a Lakewood location, but had moved to the location on Pacific Avenue about a year before we bought the Chevrolet Equinox LT. To find the current location (this may help you picture where it is) is where Warthog Barbeque Pit used to be located.
As you see, we highly recommend Moody Motors for the purchase of your next vehicle. read more
