The Sales Rep my agent had been negotiating with was tied up so we were introduced to Brandon Slowik to help us with the test drive & the paperwork--he was great! Friendly, knows his stuff, really smoothed out the sales process. Did the test drive, finalized the sale, scheduled the pickup smooth as glass. By the way, the facility itself is stunning--even has a coffee bar that serves lunch! If you want a different car buying experience, this is the place & Brandon is the guy. More
