My car buying adventure was better then expected. During my driving years I had many opportunities to buy cars. My last experience in 2010 was the worst experience that no one should endure but 2012 is off my driving years I had many opportunities to buy cars. My last experience in 2010 was the worst experience that no one should endure but 2012 is off to a great start. I received a phone call from Eric Francisco ( Van Chevrolet Scottsdale Arizona) apparently my review of the last dealership caused a stir and he was compelled to give me a call and talk with me regarding that nightmare. By the end of the call I was on my way to the dealership to meet with Eric keeping in mind I probably will not buy a car today. So I loaded up my boyfriend and off we went to a Chevy dealership. After the long drive we arrived at our destination surprisingly it was not so bad. Many sales people were out side and greeted us with smiles and very willing to inform Eric I had arrived for my appointment. As we waited in the front we looked at some of the cars in the showroom (knowing full well I could not even afford to look at the price tag on them) Eric came to the showroom and was very friendly I was shocked after my last car buying, he escorted us to his cube and sat down and discus my car situation. Before we even looked at cars (which was a good thing because I would hate to waste my time and his) since I had not owned a Chevy since 2001 I was unfamiliar with the current products and not sure what I would like let alone buy. After a little time of looking at my financial situation and then looking for a new ride I decided if things worked I would buy the new Malibu. The finance area was painless for the first time in years this part has always been dreaded but I was shocked at how simple this process was for me because I have less then perfect credit. Life happens and you miss a payment here or there and it looks bad on your credit. This went great and the papers were signed. I took possession of my new car then next morning (since I have bought it in the evening hours I was asked to pick it up in the morning so I could bring in my down payment). Now the hard part waiting for a new car ? Saturday morning we arrived a little early for my 10 AM appointment but once again, we were greeted with smiles. Eric came trotting out with Keys in hand. All my paperwork was in order and finance was happy and I was too. The GM of Van came out to greet me which I found to be a great surprise most GM’s do not meet the customers. Eric gave me the keys and we were off. My boyfriend and I got in the car and Eric jumped in the back seat. He spent 30 min showing me how use the on star, the phone system, and stereo. Hey my car has its own phone number and starts remotely. We drove off the lot in my new ride and I could not have been happier. Thank you Eric for making my car buying adventure painless and pleasant think my next car will be from Van More

I would recommend this dealership if you want to have a bad day. The expertise of the dealership is the Bait and Switch, of which I am sure Mike Nations is the instructor. I was in the market for an Escala bad day. The expertise of the dealership is the Bait and Switch, of which I am sure Mike Nations is the instructor. I was in the market for an Escalade and found the one I wanted at Van Chevrolet. I called the dealership the day before going there to confirm the vehicle was still there. I talked with Anthony and he said it was still there. I told him I would pay cash and told him I would be at the dealership in the morning. I then called the next day to confirm that the Escalade was still available. I talked with Mike Nations and he said it was and that Anthony would take care of me. My wife and I then went to the dealership. What happened from there was the infamous BAIT AND SWITCH routine. We walked in the door of the dealership and was met by Mike Nations. We told him who we were and he told my wife and I that the Escalade had been sold the day before, but he could get us into one just like it. In the next breath and few moments Mike tried to explain why we should one of 3 Denali's he had on the lot. I told him I didn't want a Denali. He finally found an Escalade in Texas....on the internet...which he wanted us to purchase....sight unseen. It wouldn't be there for two weeks. Needless to say my wife and I left the dealership in disgust, especially in light of the unsavory tactics. We then went to the Benz and Beemer dealership and bought my car....and you know....It was a great experience, even though I went above what I had orginally allocated, but it was because of the total Good experience of the Benz and Beemer Dealership..

I had a decent car buying experience. Eric and Steve were very professional and courteous in handling my deal and working within my comfort levels. The only unpleasantness I experienced was working with the very professional and courteous in handling my deal and working within my comfort levels. The only unpleasantness I experienced was working with the finance department i.e. Roman and boss in closing the deal. They were very aggressive in having me buy a service contract and would not take no for an answer. I felt highly pressured into making that addition to my payment and really felt that they would not close the deal without me agreeing to the upsell. While I did end up agreeing to the contract, in hindsight I have to say that my wishes were not honored. While I would recommend this dealership, it is with caution as the finance people are not as friendly or courteous as the sales staff. If you were to get Roman as a finance person, I highly recommend to pass him up for the next person. More

I had a one year old car that I wasn't very happy with. Actually I was quite happy with the car, but not a bit happy with the German company that built it. I always wanted a Camaro but the convertibles we Actually I was quite happy with the car, but not a bit happy with the German company that built it. I always wanted a Camaro but the convertibles weren't available when I bought my car, so I decided to look into trading for a Camaro. I talked to Ron and Rich when I first came in. I drove 2 cars on a decent length test drive. Then Ron introduced me to Bryan who is a New Car Sales Director. I knew I'd lose a lot of money on my car, but they offered me a better deal than I expected. Through the entire process everyone was pleasant and respectful. They obviously wanted to sell a car, but there was no high pressure. The next day Ron actaully brought the car to my house so I could make sure it fit in my ridiculously small garage and then I bought it. Cody, the Finance Manager, is a real nice guy to talk to and, again, no pressure. Overall, this was an extremely pleasant car buying experience. More

Management really must pay special attention to having just the right individuals on staff to represent the dealership! Today's experience was no exception! Our salesperson, Eric Francisco was extremely courteous, answered all our questions and delivered expedient, quality customer service throughout the entire process. He followed through the process by showing us how to work our OnStar and actually helped with the setup of our navigation system. We would recommend him to our friends and family. Also, our finance representative, Jennifer Graziani was delightful to work with-very personable and knowledgeable with financing and warranties! Also, a special 'THANK YOU to Chuck Mullins for always stopping over to visit with my husband and myself when we are in his dealership! Great people, great pricing....accommodating and a real pleasure to work with! Thank you from our whole family to th Van Chevrolet family!!! More

Eric Francisco worked very hard to help me with a new car and payments that I could afford. He worked on a deal for me before I ever showed up at the dealership so this car buying experience was the easiest and payments that I could afford. He worked on a deal for me before I ever showed up at the dealership so this car buying experience was the easiest I have had to date. Really appreciate all the people involved that worked hard to come up with a deal that I could live with. More

We where at Van Chev. for service for our 2002 Trail Blaser and the Wife was looking at the Traverse.It look like it would fit our needs. A week later Eric Francisco call and we talked about a deal that Blaser and the Wife was looking at the Traverse.It look like it would fit our needs. A week later Eric Francisco call and we talked about a deal that sounded good. We talked several times after that and I was not sure if I would go with a purchase.Eric call several times more and I finaly decided to set down with Eric. The deal he presented was to good to pass up. We purchased a 2011 Treverse. I have to be honest. This was the very first time that I purchased a vehicle and had no buyers remorse.I went home feeling good about the exsperence. In the past purchaseing a vehicle was worse then haveing routcanal.Eric is very professional.I have given him the name of our daughter to call. More

Eric was very reasonable and courtesy on negotiating a comfortable price range for my brand chevy cruze. Having a dealer who understands where I'm coming from, both coming from the east coast and having s comfortable price range for my brand chevy cruze. Having a dealer who understands where I'm coming from, both coming from the east coast and having same common interests\humor and regarding similarities in conversation provides a positive comfort level and trustworthy on buying a new vehicle. Also informative on the gadgets and technology on the car that I've never experienced is very helpful and more confident in using my car. Anyone interested in buying a new car primarily chevy i recommend van chevrolet and Eric Francisco with confidence to deal with. Thanks again More

We started looking for a new suv in early September. I had previously driven a Lexus LX470 and BMW X5. We test drove as many as 10 different cars. Chevy was our last stop and Eric introduced us to the Tra had previously driven a Lexus LX470 and BMW X5. We test drove as many as 10 different cars. Chevy was our last stop and Eric introduced us to the Traverse. We knew nothing about it but Eric was excellent at pointing out its many features and extremely spacious cargo space. We went for a test drive and loved the way it handled. We weren't in a big hurry to buy because we had cars to drive and it took 3 more visits back to Van Chevrolet and numerous questions answered by Eric before we drove away with our new Traverse LTZ! Eric made sure he called us regularly to check in or give us new incentives/rebate information. When it came down to buying we knew we wanted to go back to Eric. He made the sale effortless and even delivered the car to me because I had no other way to get there. He spent as much time as I needed to answer all of my questions, and I had a million. He also stayed past closing last night for an hour and a half and made sure that I know I can call him directly with any questions I might have. Overall it was a GREAT experience! Thank you Eric! More
