We visited this dealership to test drive the Sierra 1500 for a comparison to the Ram and F-150. We spoke with salesman James Bondi and we test drove the Denali. The vehicle sold itself but James made the e for a comparison to the Ram and F-150. We spoke with salesman James Bondi and we test drove the Denali. The vehicle sold itself but James made the experience enjoyable. He worked with us and was able to make a deal that was amiable to the both of us. A very personable and professional environment. The paperwork could be more streamlined though. More

A great buying experience. Kiril Tysiachnyl was an outstanding salesman. He was highly professional and personable. I saw the truck online and was immediately led to him.

Josh in service went above and beyond to help schedule an appointment to repair a defective surge pump that occurred the day before my schedule trip. If he had not done this I would have lost deposits forci appointment to repair a defective surge pump that occurred the day before my schedule trip. If he had not done this I would have lost deposits forcing me to cancel or delay trip. That shows how much he cares about his customers and the reputation of the dealership. This type of compassion will be communicated being new customer and keeping loyal customers for life. More

Since I can’t seem to get my negative review to go through at this point and don’t have tone to redo it right now I will simply say do not purchase a vehicle from this dealership.

Can't recommend more highly. In town from Chicago and had what sounded like a chirping belt. Needed to get car fixed asap due to concern about 14 hour drive home.

It is sad that a "Luxury" brand has a sales staff that must have come from the Kia store down the street. I was disappointed to find typical bait-and-switch pricing, the dealership showed one price online must have come from the Kia store down the street. I was disappointed to find typical bait-and-switch pricing, the dealership showed one price online, I confirmed the pricing with a manager on the phone before driving 45 minutes to the store. Once I got to the store, the red flags started. No one had informed me that the "New" car had been cannibalized for parts, the vehicle wasn't charged, and I was directed to a different vehicle for a test drive. In the swapped vehicle, the passenger side air conditioner was blowing hot air even after driving for 15 minutes. The salesperson suggested that it was because the electric vehicle had been jumped off. After driving the swapped vehicle, I requested pricing on the cannibalized vehicle because I knew that the vehicle I had discussed previously qualified for a specific lease program. The dealership presented an initial presentation with a price more than $5,000 more than previously quoted. The sales and finance managers knew less than the customer about the current programs and options for leasing. To top it all off, even though I had a gift card code for test driving a car from Cadillac the dealership did not process the request. One Step backwards for Step One. More

The service department is horrible. They have not called me back in over a month. I’m still waiting on them to email my insurance company the codes to get the estimate approved.
