BBB Accredited ADAMM Car Dealer

Following a purchase, a car dealership may provide loyalty bonuses, send service reminders, offer genuine parts and create service specials in an attempt to retain your business.  To ensure that “going back” is a pleasant experience; get to know the dealership inside and out before you buy.  Buying a car from a dependable dealership with a proven track record will save you a lot of headaches in the long-run.

A good business is about the people inside as much as it is from the product itself.  So, the dealership looks great from the street, but you get terrible customer service, what could that mean for you long-term?  Examining reviews is a great way to begin getting to know a dealership but take it a step further by checking to see if they are a member of, or have an affiliation with respected business associations and organizations that promote ethical business and customer relationships.

To confirm that the dealership has conducted previous business professionally, check first with your local Better Business Bureau.  The BBB looks at a variety of information including reviews and complaints, then assigns letter grades from A+ (highest) to F (lowest). The rates adjust according to a variety of factors.
