Took my wife car shopping over the weekend. We worked with Chet and test drove the sorento and telluride.

He helped us to go over the differences and see what is better for us between the 2 vehicles and the trim options on the vehicle we purchased. He was also very accommodating with our schedule and stayed late to help us close the deal so we didn’t have to find a babysitter to come back on Monday. Chet was very knowledgeable on the car and its features. He also knew we were comparing a few cars from other makes and never said anything negative in order to try to make a sale. It was easy to spend the afternoon with him and we can’t wait to try out his margarita recipe. More
