This group especially Bobby went beyond any normal automobile sales. They said they go the extra mile for the customer and they did. They spent much time and more money to make sure the automobile I p automobile sales. They said they go the extra mile for the customer and they did. They spent much time and more money to make sure the automobile I purchased was in top shape! Bobby stayed in constant contact with us, phoned to see how we were doing, and anything we had concerns about he fixed. Wow! What a great person to buy a car from. The manager Chris, was also assuring that their dealership didn't just sell cars. It was selling a relationship and honesty as well, I am positive that this will not be the last car I buy from them. I've never met a dealership like these guys! Bobby, thank you for all the hard work you did to make sure we were satisfied and happy with the car. Other dealerships could learn from you guys. You raised the mark in my book.Bill Dasch More
