@EmilyTaylor - we are surprised about this review - as, we assisted your mom with this vehicle last July. She was more than appreciative for the efforts we made. We have heard nothing since last July. You had also posted a negative review at the time - of which your mother was surprised about - a nd, indicated to us that she thought was unfair given our efforts to assist. We do have emails back and forth that confirm this - and, her acknowledgement of our efforts on your behalf. We will advise Dealerrater/Google and other review sites that you are continuing to engage in submitting duplicate reviews
