Bought a 2025 BMW with low mileage. The dealership refused a third-party inspection, and the air conditioning failed immediately after I drove it off the lot. When I asked about it, I w The dealership refused a third-party inspection, and the air conditioning failed immediately after I drove it off the lot. When I asked about it, I was told it was “just taking longer to cool because of the hot weather.” Unfortunately, that was not the case. Very disappointing experience, and it will be hard to trust another Koons dealer. More

Totally Awesome Experience I just brought my second vehicle from Win Kelly GMC. First time I was always blown with sales Rick Applegate was great to work with. The finance depar I just brought my second vehicle from Win Kelly GMC. First time I was always blown with sales Rick Applegate was great to work with. The finance department even gave me a lower rate than I was approved for by my credit union. After getting my 2014 GMC Acadia the service department was outstanding (you find out how good when you go to other places for service). So when a change in my family status happened I figured it was time to talk to Rick Applegate again. Now, I had brought my 2014 Acadia in for service when they noticed something was wrong with my timing chain gasket. I scheduled the appointment, when I came in within ten minutes I had dropped off my vehicle and received the loaner vehicle. When I was returning the loaner to pickup my vehicle I asked Rick about the costs for the 2018 Terrain. Once it got worked out the Finance Department gave me a great rate. I left out that day with the Terrain. Again just a great experience. More

Sales was ve I brought my first vehicle from Winn Kelly about four years ago. Their finance department beat the the rate that my credit union offered. Sales was very easy. The best part is the service department. They are truly outstanding. I tried to go to dealerships closer to me. It didn’t work out to well. Two different dealers and two not so great visits and now I will drive the extra distance. This time while having my vehicle serviced I talked to Rick Applegate about maybe downsizing from an Acadia to a Terrain. I wasn’t planning to buy one but, he had exactly the vehicle I was looking for and a price which made my decision very easy. So goodbye to my 2014 Acadia Denali and hello to my 2018 Terrain Denali. Thanks again. More
