I've known Kris for many years and just met Pete. Both are a pleasure to deal with in a relaxed atmosphere while maintaining a professional business demeanor. I bought a low mileage Porsche Macan S Both are a pleasure to deal with in a relaxed atmosphere while maintaining a professional business demeanor. I bought a low mileage Porsche Macan S that looks and runs like new - not a single blemish. My second Macan S; love these cars. Anyway, Pete handled the transaction from sale to finance to delivery of the vehicle like a consummate professional. Of course, Kris is as good as it gets when it comes to public relations and is a fashion guru as well. I look forward to more almost new cars from these guys. More
