This was probably one of the most unlikely things to happen at a dealership. I had one of the best car salesman I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I test drove a car, I liked it, but there were a happen at a dealership. I had one of the best car salesman I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I test drove a car, I liked it, but there were a couple of things that made me hesitate, the A/C wasn't working and the check engine light was on. Jeff Fox said to me we'll get this into the shop and you'll hear back from me in a couple of days. Jeff got back to me, he said they solved the A/C problem and another minor thing that wasn't the check engine light. I asked about the check engine light and he said that wasn't noted, let me get it back to service. They fixed the check engine light after about a week and asked if I wanted to come in and test drive it again. I did, and in the process of me test driving it, the check engine light came back on. Jeff apologized. Then he said I will get it back into service and I'll get back to as soon as the car is ready. About another week or so passes and I get a call from Jeff and he said it's all ready, the check engine light was off and asked if I wanted to take it for a another test drive. I went back and test drove it a third time. I saw that the check engine light didn't trip. Then I said, I can buy this car. So I proceed to go through purchasing the car on a Thursday and drive it home and the check engine light came on in the short 15 mile drive home. Then I told Jeff that it came back on again during the drive home. He talked to the manager and they told him that they would fix it. I brought it back to Friendly on Friday. Talked to the manger and they proceeded to tell me that it would get fixed. I had explained that it's been a month since I started looking at the car and they apologized and said they would make sure it got fixed and Jeff told me he would even drop the car off in person. They brought it back into service and they did extensive testing onnthe car to make sure the check engine light didn't come back on. I heard back on Wednesday morning and Jeff said when is a good time to drop off the car, we coordinated a time for him to drop it off. When Jeff dropped off the car, him and I had a nice chat before he was picked up by a coworker. I told Jeff that he earned a sale from me even if it wasn't this car, I was going to buy a car from him. With all the time Jeff put in for all the updates of the car that I was looking to buy, it was a month long process and very few people would take that time and make an effort like he did. I told Jeff that if I need another car or I know someone else who does I would send them his way. It was a long experience but Jeff Fox couldn't have been a better person to work with. Thank You Jeff! Keep doing all that you do, it was a pleasure to work with you, the best experience I've ever had at a dealership. More
