It's all been commoditized by KBB, Carfax, etc. So the only thing that really distinguishes one dealership from another is the selection on the lot, and the person in charge. Hometown motors has a great selection of late model vehicles, competitively priced (the Ford Explorer we bought was actually priced below market) and can be locally financed through a credit union. And, most importantly, they continue to treat you like a customer long after the sale is finalized. We had some questions a few days later and Chris was very helpful. Don't waste time shopping around- just go straight to Hometown Motors! I know we will again, even though we live three hours away.

He test drives, he listens to the machine, not a computer, and he has an eye for detail. He is a real mechanic that knows old machines. He also tells you what you need, and what can wait. I wanted to do a review because he took good care of us, but he does not need a review because his lot is always full. We waited a bit because I could tell he was fixing cars people needed, and we were not in a hurry and he knew it. It was not safe to drive, and he made sure it is.

I had no problems with my car before I brought it in. I had to go to work, so I drove it home (~11 miles) and over the next two days I drove my car a total of two miles. On Friday, the engine light came on while driving the one mile to work. It was 430 and I called and spoke with a woman who was the rudest person I've ever had to deal with. She asked why I didn't bring it in sooner, I told her I had to work. She basically said it couldn't be their fault because they just did an oil change which wouldn't cause the check engine light to come on. She didn't check with anyone on what might cause that. She said you can come in but we close at five. I had to travel on Sunday and no one is open over the weekend. I asked if they could stay until I got there because I wasn't sure if I would make it before five. She said no. I Paid someone to plug in a diagnostic unit, to find out IT WAS THEIR FAULT. THEY DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE DIPSTICK!!! Will never go there again...the woman on the phone should be reprimanded. Not the way to handle customers.

We ended up paying $100 to have the problem diagnosed, which was more than we expected. We were told the air compressor was out, and it would cost $900 to replace. We decided not to have it fixed, and it felt like there was some amount frustration directed towards my husband about that choice. Here's the reason for the one-star review: My husband gets home, starts googling to see if he can do this work himself. He finds out, that on our model of car -- which is a very common model -- there is one electrical relay that always goes out first on the AC. My husband bought it for $60 on ebay and fixed it himself. AC fixed. I just quite frustrated to consider that we would have put $1,000 into repairs, and it wouldn't have fixed the problem.
