I want to specifically call out the sales manager involved in our experience, because the lack of professionalism was just as concerning as the condition of the vehicle. After driving over 2 hours involved in our experience, because the lack of professionalism was just as concerning as the condition of the vehicle. After driving over 2 hours to see a “Certified” vehicle that was in unacceptable condition, not once did the manager apologize for the situation or acknowledge the time we wasted based on how the car was represented. The response was dismissive and filled with excuses instead of accountability. What made this even worse was the follow-up interaction. The very next week, I saw this same manager again in Madison after we ultimately still chose to purchase a different vehicle from the dealership. Instead of acting professionally, he avoided us entirely—wouldn’t greet us, wouldn’t shake hands, and wouldn’t acknowledge us as customers. At one point, he walked past me, shook his head, gave a visible look of disapproval, and then went behind the desk without saying a word. This was after we had already completed a purchase. That behavior is not just unprofessional—it’s unacceptable in any customer-facing role, especially in sales leadership. To be clear: we were told the original vehicle had no business being sold in its condition, yet it was still presented as “certified.” That disconnect alone should raise concerns for anyone considering doing business here. If there’s feedback for the management team: Own the situation. Acknowledge mistakes. Treat customers with basic respect—even when conversations are uncomfortable. This experience left a lasting impression for all the wrong reasons. More
