This has been one of the best experiences with purchasing a vehicle I have ever had. Mel was open and honest and just a pleasure to chat with. They had fair pricing, financing was very easy, and honored their dealer warranty when I had a non-engine mechanical issue. I would highly recommend this Dealership!!
