Wonderful! Wow been looking for the right car for me for several months. Great interest rate from credit union and they beat it, that is what I call pleasing the Wow been looking for the right car for me for several months. Great interest rate from credit union and they beat it, that is what I call pleasing the customer. Mr Watkins treated husband and I with most respect, Mr Hoyle and Mr Presley did the same. When we returned the next day they all knew who we were and our names, we felt like family members. In today's world it is nice when you go to buy a car and they care more about what the customer wants then selling their cars. I will tell a lot of people about my experience here at McKenney it was the most comfortable car buying experience I have ever been through! Thank You Dustin Watkins for helping us buy our car! More

Willingness to work with us sealed the deal! My wife and I had a great experience at McKenney-Salinas Honda. We got connect with M-S Honda through their internet service/listings and then worked My wife and I had a great experience at McKenney-Salinas Honda. We got connect with M-S Honda through their internet service/listings and then worked with Marvin upon visiting M-S Honda. It was not our original goal to purchase a vehicle when visiting M-S Honda (especially since we had some other similar vehicles we planned to look at in the area), but after our experience with Marvin Reid, we felt comfortable and confident in moving forward with the vehicle they had available. Thank you for helping us with the logistics, especially the financial aspect of it. They gave us a great trade-in value on one of our cars and helped to bring the total price of the purchased vehicle into a price range that we could afford. Your willingness to work with us was fantastic. From beginning to end, you guys did a superb job and to that end, we are thankful and grateful, especially since the entire time we were there it was raining and we had our two small children with us! Our experience there truly was an exceptionally positive one and we are very excited to have purchased a vehicle that our family has talked about wanting to own for several years now! More

spend your money anywhere but here My wife had been looking for a certain type of car for a month 1/2, finely found it here.We drove 2 1/2 hours to buy this car. The salesman was very My wife had been looking for a certain type of car for a month 1/2, finely found it here.We drove 2 1/2 hours to buy this car. The salesman was very nice and helpful. Went on a test drive ended up liking the car. Was shown a list of everything that was fixed on the car and was a shored it was a sound car.The list said brakes were done, ac hose replaced and motor mounts also replaced.Drove off happy thinking we got a good car.Took the car to get a oil change at the dealership in my area and they said it was almost 2 quarts low on oil, they couldn't find the leak so the tech said drive it for a week then bring it back to see if he could spot it.Well had to take the motor out to replace gaskets which was covered under factory warranty, motor mounts were broke, { remember they were so called replaced}.... But that was covered under factory warranty. The tech took me in the back and showed me the front brakes said they need to be replaced and rotors too.Not covered under factory warranty ( also so called replaced and rotors turned )...... after 3500 miles buying the car... Oh the a/c started blowing out hot air on the driver side cold on passenger side, and the heat does it on the reverse sides.(1600) fix.. Called mckenney-salinas told them what was found, got the run around 2 weeks( that being nice ) Drive the car 2 1/2 hours we will do the brakes they said but you should have got the extended warranty for the a/c (cowardly by text message ) Im not driving 2 1/2 hours for a brake job that should have already been done but wasn't , like other things on the car that wasn't touched.....Oh yeah the tech that supposed to have done the work no longer works there ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The dealership that found all my problems said they would take 400 off the price to fix a/c but mckenney-salinas offered nothing BUYER BEWARE...............................

2012 Silverrado purchase Dear Readers, My recent purchase of a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 wentvery smooth and I was treated with the upmost respect throughout the entire proce Dear Readers, My recent purchase of a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 wentvery smooth and I was treated with the upmost respect throughout the entire process. My sales representive was knowledgeable and professional and at no time did I feel pressured to buy. My only complaint was the wait to meet the finance manage and this was due to large number of cars they sold that day. And then once in the finance office I was offered a better deal than what i exspected, i would not hesitate to return or referr others to this dealership, And they will get my busness again. More

Easiest purchase to date. This was my 10th Honda purchase along with many other new car purchases and it was the easiest, hassle free encounter that I have ever experienced. Or This was my 10th Honda purchase along with many other new car purchases and it was the easiest, hassle free encounter that I have ever experienced. Originally, I correspondenced with a internet individual who supplied me with a reasonable price for a model that was extremely rare and hard to find. This dealership had no additional markup, based on the "supply & demand" situation and in fact came through with a true car price that was below sticker MSRP. The car was ordered with a deposit and I was kept abreast of manufacturing dates and changes throughout the entire process of several months. The sales person Assigned was a true gentleman, oriented to my needs and detail and delivered all aspects of the promised deal. A true pleasure working with him and this was, without doubt, the very best car buying experience I have ever had in my fifty eight years of purchasing automobiles. More
