I’ve been in the car business since 1999. I’m originally from Chicago, IL, and lived in Florida for 20 years before moving to Rochester. I love finding the perfect car for my customer's wants and needs, but when I’m not here at work I enjoy scuba diving, snow skiing, traveling, fish keeping, yoga, weight training and I’m also a Licensed Commercial Pilot.

The de Bought a new Audi Q5 through the Costco Auto Program. First time using the program. An easy, efficient and customer friendly way to buy a car. The dealer is obviously very familiar with the program. Had the car all set up and ready to go. The trade-in process was also easy - accomplished most of it by phone and e-mail. Trade In price was fair. Had a few glitches with the car set up, because the Audi site needed to proceed was down. But managed to complete it a few days later. I'd definitely use this process and this dealer again. More

Sam is a rock star and was awesome to work with when we bought our car. He was understanding when I couldn’t make up my mind, and he wasn’t pushy. Even after we bought the car he was taking care of us. Sam bought our car. He was understanding when I couldn’t make up my mind, and he wasn’t pushy. Even after we bought the car he was taking care of us. Sam deserves a printer at his desk. He kept having to get up and down to walk across the store to pick up papers. Steven the finance guy was good to work with, too. He was friendly and made the process easier to deal with. He has a printer. I feel like the car was priced fairly, and I would go to Park Place again if I was in the market for a newer car. More

Last chapter to a long saga....A good ending! This is my 3rd and last review. I wrote in my 1st and 2nd review how I purchased a used BMW online sight unseen. My salesperson Sam did an excellent j This is my 3rd and last review. I wrote in my 1st and 2nd review how I purchased a used BMW online sight unseen. My salesperson Sam did an excellent job describing the car and providing service history from the prior owner. I live 1100 miles away so this was a leap of faith for me. When the car arrived it was everything it was described when I saw it. however, there was a problem with the transmission and the car had some safety problem related problems that would not pas the Va. required yearly inspection needed to license the car. I was very shocked and disappointed in this situation. After my less than stellar review here Brad Johnson, the company GM contacted me. We discussed the situation, and he reached out to me in a very professional way to resolve this matter. I now believe there were things missed on the car that was not intentional. In fixing some known problems, that had a delay in getting parts due to COVID-19 disruption, the car was pushed aside, sat for awhile, and other things were not attended to.......an honest mistake in the middle of the nightmare the virus brought down on all of us .Brad worked with me to make things right. I was shocked....did not really expect to hear from anyone. This tells me there was honest mistakes made, and they owned up to doing the right thing.when I was 1100 miles away with no recourse.I cannot begin to tell anyone how much of what an honest and customer oriented business they are. In an industry noted in many cases for many problems and less than honest business practices, Luther Park Place BMW stands out in a very positive way. Thank you for your care and concern in doing the right thing. More
