Pete Farinas

I am compelled to leave this review after an extremely negative experience at Parks Chevrolet, which severely undermined my trust in their business practices and customer service integrity. I recently negative experience at Parks Chevrolet, which severely undermined my trust in their business practices and customer service integrity. I recently visited Parks Chevrolet, enticed by a publicly advertised lease offer that seemed too good to miss. This offer was prominently displayed on their website and various advertising platforms, clearly stating the terms, which entailed an exceptionally competitive monthly rate for a popular model. Motivated by such promising terms, I proceeded to engage with the dealership, hoping to finalize what appeared to be a straightforward transaction. Contrary to my expectations and to the clear terms laid out in the advertisement, my experience unfolded in complete disappointment. Upon arriving at the dealership and mentioning the advertised lease, the sales staff initially seemed welcoming and helpful. However, the tone changed drastically once I expressed my intention to finalize the lease based on the terms advertised. I was abruptly informed that the advertised lease offer could not be honored. When pressed for further clarification and attempts to negotiate, the staff became dismissive, suggesting instead that I consider significantly higher rates and completely different terms, which was not only frustrating but felt outright deceptive. This bait-and-switch tactic is not what I expected from a reputed dealership like Parks Chevrolet. It is misleading and raises serious questions about their advertising practices. Claiming an offer publicly and retracting it upon customer interest borders on false advertising and severely damages consumer trust. I had hoped for a straightforward and honest transaction, but instead, I was left wasting my time and questioning the integrity of Parks Chevrolet. Due to this incident, I am left with no choice but to contact corporate headquarters to report this misleading practice and to ensure that other potential customers are not deceived as I was. I advise potential customers to be wary of engaging with Parks Chevrolet. What is advertised may not be what is offered, and based on my experience, customer satisfaction is not their priority. Take your business to a dealer that respects its customers enough to honor its public commitments. More

Best dealership and Service around! Parks is filled with tremendous employees, however, I was lucky enough to work with Pete and Taiwan!These two provided top notch service and honestly Parks is filled with tremendous employees, however, I was lucky enough to work with Pete and Taiwan!These two provided top notch service and honestly went above an beyond to help me! I was greeted by a smiling face and a warm welcome! Pete quickly built a rapport with us by explaining the process and listening to what I wanted. He not only assisted with the test drive but made sure to take of the paperwork prior so when we got back we didn't have to wait for the financing. Once we decided to move forward with the Financing we had the pleasure to sit down with Taiwan! He was willing to break things down for me to ensure I understood them and didn't rush me through the process. Know when you walk into Parks you will be taken care of. They wont pressure you to make the purchase but educate you on things to ensure your making a decision you will be happy with! Great experience and I know when it comes time to buy another car I will be going back to Parks!!!! More

A Delightful experience I have had a number of car sales experiences. the bad kind and the excellent kind so I can make an honest judgement. Parks was an excellent exper I have had a number of car sales experiences. the bad kind and the excellent kind so I can make an honest judgement. Parks was an excellent experience, Peter Farinas and Christine Bartolorra both worked tirelessly to get me into the exact vehicle i wanted at price I wanted. They were professional and courteous and made this a painless and seamless transition. I am now driving a beautiful 2017 Equinox and I am so happy I chose to work with Parks because I promise not all Chevy dealerships are created equal. More
