After lousy customer service from another non-brand name dealership, BG Motors was a breath of fresh air! I was looking for a Honda CR-V at the worst season---inflation, supply and demand chains at a bust, very low inventory, seller's market, etc. I could buy old with a lot of miles for cheap or newer with about 100,000 miles or less for "out of my budget" range. BG Motors had one, a CR-V, smack dab in the middle. The only problem, BG Motors is about 40 minutes away and they didn't have the Carfax on their website...did I really want to spend gas (highest gas prices in my lifetime!) to drive there only to find it had been in accident or two?? A text to BG motors and 10 minutes later, I had the Carfax. Texted with Zahaib to confirm the car was still available and that he would stay opened until we arrived to check it out. Literally with 10 minutes to closing, Zaheib gave us the keys and let us test drive it. Absolutely NO pressure! Zaheib is a genuine, young man who trusted us to drive the car unassisted and stayed opened a little after hours for us. Concerned with a noise, we opted to wait to have a mechanic friend check it out. Logistics prevented me from getting mechanic to BG motors in the next couple of days. When I inquired about allowing me to drive the car to my mechanic 40 minutes away, BG Motors was willing! Now that's great customer service! A few days later, I was able to have the mechanic with me to drive the CR-V. The Mechanic explained the noises and how much it would cost to repair, but ultimately gave a thumbs up. Mechanically, other than the two easy to fix items, it was a solid car within my budget. Cosmetically, it was in good shape --except for the duct taped arm rest and three of the four indoor lights inoperable. We mentioned the indoor lights to Zaheib before we headed back towards home. The next day, with a pre approved loan from my bank, I spoke via phone with Noman, the owner, with our offer. He balked, but when I explained what repairs it was going to need, he agreed to a price lower than asking price. The best thing??? Doing the paperwork from the comforts of my home rather than sitting in the dealership waiting for the financials!! It took longer to drive to pick up the car than it did to sign the paperwork! It was all ready for signatures by the time we arrived. Twenty minutes later, I was driving home with my Honda CR-V. It was a pleasure to work with Zaheib face to face and Noman via screen! Next time I'm in need of a used car, I will definitely check out the cars on BG Motors lot.
Afterthought: The lights still didn't work, the rear view mirror fell off when I was trying to adjust it for my short stature, and I decided I really didn't like the duct tape arm attire. With a lot of elbow grease, YouTube videos, and $6, I replaced the lightbulbs, figured out how to slide the mirror back on its plate correctly, and have patched up the missing vinyl/leather on the armrest (sadly, with the wrong shade of grey, but it looks sooo much better than the duct tape!) I bought the car with these problems, well, not the rear view mirror, that was a surprise, and I still give BG Motors 5 . I give myself a pat on the back for my labors!!!! read more
