As a former teacher, I bring patience, listening skills and a sense of empathy -as well as a healthy dose of fun!- to my role as a sales and leasing consultant at Crown Acura. Whether you're looking for a new or used car, have credit challenges or you're a multi-millionaire, first-time buyer or have bought more cars than I've sold (it's possible!) - everyone gets treated with respect and dignity, and we all enjoy the experience together.

Most times I will wait for my car to be serviced and the time spent is actually relaxing and enjoyable. My sales person was Gillian Barnes. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She goes above and beyond to ensure her customers are happy. Gillian made the entire getting a new car transaction easy and quick. It was a very pleasant experience. I also liked the fact that while I was working with Gillian, she had Jay, the finance guy, busy preparing all the paperwork, so when it was time to do the sale it was quick and easy. Also while I was with Jay, Gillian was preparing my new car, exchanging license plates, etc. When I get a car serviced, Logan Lane is my service guy and is is very helpful and professional and gets me in and out quickly.

I had a great experience at Crown Acura thanks to Gillian Barnes. We had a very short window to buy our daughter a car for her 18th birthday. We had gone to several dealerships and couldn’t find what we were Barnes. We had a very short window to buy our daughter a car for her 18th birthday. We had gone to several dealerships and couldn’t find what we were looking for. The selection of cars and warranty provided at Crown Acura was beyond what I had seen at other dealerships. When I called about a specific car and stated that it could take us a while to get there with traffic, Gillian Barnes insisted we stop in and offered to stay late to show us the vehicle. She took her time to share details about the car and answer our questions. We ended up buying the car that night and she ensured it was washed, although many had already left for the night. Her genuine care, patience and customer service skills went above and beyond our expectations. And our daughter freaked out when we surprised her with her new car! ❤️ More
