    Jerry and I taking our photo for their catalog:)

    Jerry Fontaine was great during the entire process. I did 99% of the transaction over the phone and text . I knew what I wanted and I knew what to pay for it . That helps a lot when shopping for your 2nd largest purchase you will ever make in your life . Went in and signed docs . The signing process would have only taken about 30-60min but Jerry and were chatting always about life so it took longer lol. But all And all. Great experience!

    My wife and I were looking to buy our dream car, we found Phillips Auto and we definitely got to the right place, we met Jerry and He was so professional and a great guy. He guided us to a perfect and affordable price. Highly recommended 100%

    I found my Porsche 911 Turbo online and Jerry Fontaine made the entire process--from my first inquiry call through the pre-purchase inspection to the final sale--smooth and genuinely enjoyable. Everyone we met at Phillips Auto, from the friendly woman at the counter to Tommy who ensured the car was sparkling clean, reflected the dealership's longstanding commitment to great service. It was a truly positive experience from start to finish.

    After dealing with typical tactics from dealerships, this family owned, honest, straightforward experi was a breath of fresh air. They have beautiful cars and they are great to deal with. Highly recommend. Trevor especially really did a great job and is a genuine, good guy.

Great value--keeps everything looking sharp without breaking the bank. Friendly, on time, they care. Call Ehren at Supreme Motors--your cars will look great.

    Very disappointing experience -- especially after having a great experience here in 2023…read more I originally leased my 2023 Toyota from this dealership and had a great experience, which is why I was so disappointed by what happened when I recently came back to discuss my end-of-lease options. I was shown a vehicle they had in stock and simply said I didn't like the color and asked if they had one in white or black. The manager came over and repeatedly acted as though my preference about the color was ridiculous. At one point, he literally wrote "COLOR BLIND" on a piece of paper. He also repeatedly brought up my credit score and made it clear that he believed I wouldn't be able to get a better deal anywhere else because I was already with Toyota Financial. I told him multiple times that I was not ready to trade in my vehicle that day and wanted to take some time to figure out my options. Rather than respecting that, he continued pressing me with, "Well, what do you need to figure out?" He then told me that if I didn't take the car that day, I would eventually end up without a car and would have to Uber to work. I was also told that my lease buyout was about $4,000 higher than the amount stated in my lease agreement because of a "certification." That didn't sound right to me, so I decided to step back, review my actual lease paperwork, and get an independent opinion before agreeing to anything. I left feeling pressured, belittled, and honestly pretty shocked by the way I had been spoken to. Then comes the part that really says it all: the very next day, I received a voicemail from the dealership saying they were suddenly able to get the color I had originally asked for. So after being told they didn't have the color I wanted and being pressured to take what was available that day, suddenly the color I wanted could be found. I completely understand that dealerships are businesses and that negotiating is part of buying a car. What I don't appreciate is being pressured, having my credit score repeatedly used against me, being told I would essentially be stranded without a car if I didn't make a decision immediately, and being made to feel ridiculous for having a simple preference about the vehicle I was considering. I had a genuinely positive experience with this dealership in 2023. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my opinion. I would strongly recommend anyone considering doing business here to know the terms of their lease, get the buyout numbers in writing, and don't let anyone pressure you into making a decision on the spot.

I walked in looking like a complete bum as a young guy and I was shown nothing but the upmost respect from Jason and their entire team. Jason was patient with me offered me extended test drives, spent hours with me answering questions, making me feel comfortable with my purchase, and did an amazing job being extremely honest and forthcoming with me on every step of the way. I went there to not even buy that car but a different one at a different dealership. I just wanted to confirm that that was the right move and Jason was able to hear me out, understand my thoughts. understand what I actually wanted, and helped me every single step of the way. I ended up buying the car here which I initially wasn't planning on but at the end of the day it was just a better product and it felt really good buying from a good person like that. We also spent a lot of time with the finance manager Jenna and she was extremely polite and calm and incredibly knowledgeable about not just my car but everything automotive you ever want to know. They made me feel special. They made me feel wanted. They made me feel seen. They lead me to the right car. I have no reservation ever recommending someone or purchasing another car here again.

Our transmission is suffering from a commonly issue that everyone is talking about on forums and even AI suggest the same problem. When I asked Luis that I want my TCU transmission control module to be reprogrammed or relearned, his reply was we don't just use pocket size scanners but we use sophisticated tools and run different diagnosis to read error codes. I was kind of offended. I did tell him that I too have checked the car and he will not find no error codes. The way he acted was like he's talking to some stupid person who knows nothing about cars.the only reason I took the car to them was that the scanner I have would not do the relearning but it is not. Pocket size not a 50 dollars scanner. What I was asking him was what I wanted him to do to my car but instead he took our money and came to the same conclusion that there is no error codes and could not duplicate the problem. I'd like to post what needed to be done to my car but I don't know how to copy and paste the screen shots I took to teach this kid not to make fun of other people. I come from a very well known luxury exotic store that I closed and retired from and ran two new car stores myself and always depended on CSI. What occurred today was nothing but a kid with no experience nor wanting to actually listen to what I had to say but only cared to fish me in for couple of hours of labor rather than help fixing my issue and make us want to come back again. One star is too much for Luis!!!

Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.
