I was looking for a specific car and then the dealer with the highest ratings. That's how i ended up at Niello. I wanted to buy my car from good people and I did. I had a little interaction with Amir and he the highest ratings. That's how i ended up at Niello. I wanted to buy my car from good people and I did. I had a little interaction with Amir and he was very nice. Most of my interaction was with Chris in sales and Jonathan in finance. They are both evidence of why Niello has good ratings. Not only were they a pleasure to interact with, they have good energy and I think they are genuinely good people. I also had a little interaction with Mike in Finance and he seemed to also carry that same energy. Overall my experience was great. Good people working at Niello Acura. More
