Darling's Chrysler Dodge Augusta

They'll keep the light on for ya :) Both my husband and I are no strangers to the dealership buying experience. However, this was our first time buying from the Darlings Dealership in A Both my husband and I are no strangers to the dealership buying experience. However, this was our first time buying from the Darlings Dealership in Augusta Maine. We were introduced to Raymond Michaud, Nick Waddell & Jason Decker. Throughout the entire process ALL 3 of these gentlemen were extremely pleasant to work with, forthright and accommodating. We never felt like prey being swept down upon. They listened to us when we told them what we were looking for in a truck. We had a rather specific list of must haves and wants which they kept in mind when finding us that perfect truck. When it came time to talk numbers my husband and I were all prepared for the high sales push and were pleasantly surprised when what we got instead was a feeling that they were truly working hard at sharpening their pencils to come to a number mutually agreed upon even though that meant staying a little later after the dealership closed. We now have a wonderful 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab. Flash AND Brawn (with a few extra goodies) all in one truck! We would highly recommend Darlings to anyone looking for your next perfect vehicle! More

After contacting Ron Russell about my ailing vehicle, he put things in motion AND gave me a rental car to use while mine was in service. I could not ask for a better experience.

Great customer Service I was not expecting them to get my payments where I needed them to because I had been other places and they weren't able to. Jim and Paul worked very I was not expecting them to get my payments where I needed them to because I had been other places and they weren't able to. Jim and Paul worked very hard and were able to get my payments under budget and the car is beautiful. I love it and I am very happy with my experience at Darling's and have recommended them to a couple people I know who are looking for new cars More

Darlings I will only buy a vehicle from Darlings and Paul is the number one recommendation I will make for a salesman. Jason was also fantastic. Both men w I will only buy a vehicle from Darlings and Paul is the number one recommendation I will make for a salesman. Jason was also fantastic. Both men were friendly and honest.

One Stop Shop It started at approximately 3:30 p.m. today with an Internet inquiry and by 10 p.m. this evening, I was driving into my driveway with a new Ram 1500 w It started at approximately 3:30 p.m. today with an Internet inquiry and by 10 p.m. this evening, I was driving into my driveway with a new Ram 1500 which is beyond what I had imagined. The sales team quickly returned my call, answered my questions and provided me numerous pictures of the vehicle I was inquiring about. While the dealership is close to an hour away, we decided to make a quick trip to look at the truck, certain that we would not make a decision tonight and honestly dreading the truck buying experience. From the minute we arrived at the dealership we were greeted and shown the truck we had inquired about. Jim Engelhardt was a great salesperson. He is very knowledgeable about the Ram trucks and showed us features that I would have never thought to ask about. He was very helpful and the most impressive part, it was low pressure and a real change from other dealerships we have worked with in the past. The deal was good and honestly I didn't even feel the need to haggle. I had done my research, I knew what I wanted to pay and Jim met that with his offer, we didn't need to play games going back and forth. While the dealership closed at 7 this evening Jim and others stayed well past that to make the deal happen for us, securing financing, cleaning the truck and filling it with gas, all in an effort to avoid having us have to drive back up tomorrow. In addition we had our dog with us and he was welcomed into the dealership and everyone made a point to come and spend time with him. This was probably the easiest car buying experience we have ever had and will certainly be doing business with Darlings in Augusta again. More

recall & squeak The Tuscon was recalled and that was taken care completely. I also had a squeak in the front end that was identified by the technician. The solution The Tuscon was recalled and that was taken care completely. I also had a squeak in the front end that was identified by the technician. The solution was to grease the part and it would be taken care of. The part was in good shape. When we left the dealership the squeak was gone. A few days later it was back. I remember being charged for greasing the part. I live in Winslow and I do not visit Augusta very often. Coming back takes time and now I will have to pay for more to TRY and find another problem. This is not likely to happen. More

Very Positive Experience Because of having less-than-perfect credit, I wasn't even sure that I would be able to get financed for a vehicle, but I had heard several ads on the Because of having less-than-perfect credit, I wasn't even sure that I would be able to get financed for a vehicle, but I had heard several ads on the radio for Darlings, and I thought that I would call to inquire about the possibility. From the first phone interaction with Jason Decker, he was friendly, positive, and sincere. He made me feel comfortable because he didn't make false promises, but did give me some hope that it was a possibility and that they would see what they could do to work with me. Upon arriving at the dealership, everyone was friendly and made me feel comfortable. Jason Decker the Finance Manager, introduced himself to me, and introduced me to Jeffrey Joler in Sales, and we talked about what I could afford and what kind of vehicle I was interested in. They made a suggestion and I fell in love with the vehicle on my test drive. I was still apprehensive that I would get financed for a brand new vehicle, but they were so nice and helpful and reassured me that they would do everything they could to try to make this work, and to not be discouraged. Lance Quinn, the General Manager was involved in this process as well, and was so kind and friendly and helpful. All three of these individuals that I worked with were very professional, respectful and helpful. When they shared the news that I had been approved for financing, and in fact, they were able to get me a significantly lower interest rate than initially anticipated, I just couldn't believe it. A single woman, with less-than-perfect credit, going into a dealership with little hope of getting financed, was able to drive away with a brand new vehicle! I would 100% recommend this dealership to anyone. The whole process was positive and empowering on so many levels. I am so glad I chose Darlings! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! More
