We had a great experience here. David was our salesman and was extremely knowledgeable about the Atlas that we were interested in. Randy the finance manager was efficient and honest. He even recommended we sell our old car to CarMax because he knew we could get more money for it there. It felt like everyone we worked with wanted the best deal for us. We never felt rushed and they never pushed any extras on us. Plenty of inventory to choose from. We got the Atlas we wanted at a great price. Clean and new showroom. Highly recommend — much better than nearby Kia and Hyundai dealers.
