Darling's Chrysler Dodge Augusta

Helped us when nobody else would! Last Wednesday our 10+ year old SUV seized up while driving to work. It's never been the most reliable car, but it's gotten the job done. But it was Last Wednesday our 10+ year old SUV seized up while driving to work. It's never been the most reliable car, but it's gotten the job done. But it was definitely broken in a bad way and needed to be replaced, and we needed to get into a new vehicle as soon as possible. Because it was so unexpected, we didn't have any down payment saved up. We'd just moved the previous month, so our savings were totally depleted from moving into a new place and putting down a large deposit. So we started shopping, we wanted a vehicle that was reliable and fuel efficient, not too old and not too expensive. We went to a lot of dealerships... we even looked as far afield as Ellsworth! Nobody could help us. After a fruitless day at the car dealerships around town, we've realized we have enough credit to get financed, but not enough to get financed without a down payment. We probably could get the money together if we had an opportunity to save, but we were caught by surprise. Everybody turned us away. We asked family and friends for help. We even set up a go fund me to try to get together the down payment. Amazingly (inpsiringly - overwhelmingly) we got a message from a family friend to say she'd be able to lend us the cash the very next day. When we went back to Darling's they were able to help us get financing for our first choice vehicle! Teresa from internet sales got the ball rolling, she suggested the perfect car for us, when we might not have noticed it otherwise! Paul was the best, he worked so hard to think of ways to make things work out for us. He worked with me for hours over email, because that's more convenient for me at work. He was so responsive and helpful and was quick to reply to any questions I had, even when we thought we wouldn't be able to afford the car. Jim helped us get the financing, he went to bat for us when our credit wasn't stellar. We set it up to make our payments automatically from our checking, so it will help us build our credit for next time. Paul and Jim stayed late so we could get the paperwork signed after work hours. We got a great deal on a beautiful, safe, reliable, fuel efficient vehicle at Darling's, when every other dealership we talked to turned us away. Thank you so much! More

Love, love, love Tim Hachey and Darling's in Augusta!!! Two myths about car buying has been proven wrong for me. One, there is never a good car deal and two, car buying is difficult. My story starts on Mo Two myths about car buying has been proven wrong for me. One, there is never a good car deal and two, car buying is difficult. My story starts on Mother's Day weekend in 2012. We had been looking for a good car lease and I really liked the looks of the Hyundai Sonata. My oldest son was up for the challenge. He surfed car dealership websites and read the paper. That Saturday afternoon, while I was napping, he called Darling's in Augusta about the Sonata they had advertised in the Morning Sentinel. He spoke with Tim Hachey. Yes, the deal was as advertised and yes, they had a car left. My son said we would be there in one-half hour and hung up the phone. The next thing I know, I am awoken from my nap that we have to go to Augusta and look at a car. It is 4 on a Saturday afternoon, and away we went. One hour later, we were signing papers and on our way home. Snap the fingers, and we owned a new car with an excellent lease deal. Fast forward to March of next year. My son was home from college and looking for a car to take back to school. Again, he was reading the paper and surfing the web. We liked the Sonata and wanted an Elantra. He finds a great deal, but it is not at Darling's in Augusta. So, he calls Tim Hachey to see if he can match the deal. After a few phone calls between Tim and our son and Tim and Darling's, again we have a great deal with minimum of fuss. So, we are two for two. Life goes on and we love the cars. Fast forward to fall of 2015. We know our leases are up in early 2016 and we are not sure what to do next. So, I call Tim Hachey, came for a visit and looked at the new cars. Tim reviewed our lease options and next steps. I put his cellphone number on my speed dial. Most people get their hairdresser or doctor on speed dial, I also have my car salesman. It is now December on a Saturday morning. My husband reads the paper everyday. He points out an advertisement for Darling's for 2015 Sonatas, $149 a month. So, at 7:15 a.m., I texted Tim to hold a car for us, we would come in to check it out. We now need a car for our youngest son who is going to college out of state. Tim gets the text, not quite sure who it is, but by process of elimination, figures out it is me. So, after reviewing the lease deal and walking the lot, we make a decision. We came for one car at an excellent lease deal. We leave with three, yes I said three. We have two cars coming up for turn in early next year. We will not get a better deal on a car that we love. So, like I am shopping for sweaters, I am picking am out colors of cars. Again, a painless way to buy a car. So, remember two things, read the newspaper for good car deals and call Tim Hachey at Darling's in Augusta to help you with the process. More

Great experience We were visiting family from out of state and decided to test drive an SUV we were thinking about purchasing back home. Paul was friendly and helpful We were visiting family from out of state and decided to test drive an SUV we were thinking about purchasing back home. Paul was friendly and helpful, making the whole learning process easy. When we explained we probably needed to purchase the vehicle closer to home, Paul arranged for our car to be delivered to us at no extra charge. This made it easy for us to purchase the car with Paul and the team who had earned our trust. More
