I brought my 2023 CX-30 on August 1st. Kris James was the Salesman that patiently put up with…read moremyself, my Ex-husband, (yes, ex) and our all-knowable Son. Let me also mention that there was intermittent rain the entire time that we were there. Reluctantly, I had brought my 2012 Hyundai Sonata as a trade. Kris was understandable when I rushed back out to sit in it in the rain to say my final good-bye. After all I had it for 13 years. Plus, I took some pleasure in watching my ex-husband standing in the rain waiting for me to come to my sense. Our Son immediately cased the lot in one direction, my Ex in the opposite, while I stood there like most women, checking out the colors. Poor Kris tried to approach all three of us, who had decided on different vehicles. Our Son wanted me to have something new, my Ex wanted me to have something older, and I just couldn't find the right color. Rain again. Kris looked like he had been swimming when I told him to wait inside while the three of us over-talked each other. The vehicle I researched turn out to be too big for me. Our Son tried to convince me to get a different model and my Ex insisted that I would be happy with an older model. More rain. Kris was still so patient. Probably wishing he had taken the day off, but still so patient. When he pulled up with the car my Ex chose I nearly fell like the rain. The SUV was "cute", but it was red, the only color in the box of 64 that I do not like. My Ex assured me that I would like it if I looked closer, because it is not really red, it was "Soul" red. Poor Kris, with that frozen smile wondering if he should take the car back or give me more time to see the soul in the red. We had been there for an hour already. I walked up to the vehicle an something about the color drew me in. I wondered if my ex was right, but had he ever been? We took it for a drive. It was so different from my Sonata. Different but better. I decided that my ex was right. Of course I did not tell him, even though he already knew. When we finally drove off in my new vehicle, the three of us were happy, wet, and tired. Poor Kris was probably all three. He was so very patient, polite, understanding, and he even invited me to come back if I had any questions, concerns, or in need of anything else. I've since gone back three times, (by myself), and He was absolutely right. He is so knowledgeable and he makes sure that all of my questions are answered while keeping a smile on his face. He even smile when he saw that I was blinging my vehicle out with RED accessories.I tell everyone to go to Germain, and about the staff who probably clapped when the three of us left, because of our conversations going back an forward like a ping pong match, and our Son who seemed to walk away from us like he had PTSD. But I tell them especially, about Kris. He deserves recognition, accolades, and a rainy day off! Thank you Kris. You are truly a natural at your job. Job well done! ( but I will be back to have my picture taken with that big red bow on top of my Soul red CUV!)
