Bought a suv from Bill, fantastic service, love my wheels! Almost a year later my Sons car needed major repairs; they fixed it right and reasonable cost. Mine had a warranty repair and the service was great and it was fixed within the day. Friendly, honest bunch there. I definitely recommend them for auto repair and purchase.

Knowledgeable and friendly sales person... we didn't buy our vehicle here as we found something elsewhere but they were our second choice. Would recommend them.

Awful! Was looking at a vehicle and he said there was only one issue with it. Take it for a test drive and there was more then 1 thing I could count on my fingers wrong with it!! Try to make a more realistic offer and he wouldn't take it. Decided to look at a different dealership and that we would come back. He was really rude so we weren't going to go back but my boyfriend left his phone in the vehicle and the guy from the dealership tried to physically assault him and uttering threats. If your looking for bad vehicles with even worse service go here!! I would never waste my time or money going
