Was on vacation with my family in Iowa with our new Escalade. One of the kids headsets broke and our wipers broke driving down in a bad Storm. I pulled into the service counter and the gentleman that assisted me had things taken care in less than 20 mins. Experience was flawless!

Ryan was amazing! I wanted to purchase a vehicle for my husband. He sat down with me and listened to what I wanted and needed for the purchase. He was very knowledgeable about the car options and was honest with me when while looking for a used vehicle. He searched lots of options and gave me the time and opportunity to make the choice of which was the best fit for my husband. He was very patient with me and made my car buying experience pressure-free. I really appreciated the time he took with me and how he explained each step of the process! He will now be our "car" person! Thanks for all your hard work, Ryan!
