My mom has dementia, although Jay wasn't aware of that. Even so, he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, patiently walking us through every step of the process and making sure we understood everything. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be smooth, comfortable, and completely pressure-free. Jay gave us a fair and honest offer, and we truly appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and genuine care throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone looking to sell their vehicle. The office was also very clean and welcoming, and they even offered us hot or cold beverages while we waited. Thank you, Jay, for making this such a positive experience!

Title: Disappointed - Vehicle Issues Within 30 Days…read more I purchased a Mercedes from this dealership less than 30 days ago and have driven it under 600 miles since purchase. The vehicle has 58,000 miles and was sold to me "as-is." Shortly after purchasing the car, I began experiencing significant vibration during cold starts when the vehicle is placed in gear while stopped. This is not something I would expect from a properly inspected luxury vehicle at this mileage. What concerns me most is the lack of response. I have reached out multiple times to address the issue, but I have not received any reply. Even for an "as-is" vehicle, customers should expect transparency, basic roadworthiness, and communication when problems arise shortly after purchase. I am simply asking for accountability and a response. I will update this review if the dealership chooses to resolve the issue professionally.

She proposed an unrealistic appraisal of over twice the actual value of the property. I questioned her logic and she swore she had buyers lined up for this type of property. Later She represented another party appraising my property and showed up, unannounced and started taking pictures of sensitive materials and had to be told to leave by my staff. My business is not open to the public and she knew she wasn't allowed to be there. She is untrustworthy, sneaky, arrogant and highly self absorbed. She is a straight faced liar, a typical sleazy salesman. Dealing with this woman is a nightmare and she only has her personal interests in mind. I recommend not using her for any type of appraisal, and if her appraisals come before you, to get a second one and disregard any of her opinions.
