Terrible customer service. Given an appointment as stated in email then told it was not an appointment but a check in time. replaced engine from recall and car still doesn't run. Employs rude and uninformed. .

While dealing, I was hoping a good deal, but I wonder if my used car purchase is a trash. The car after 6 days of driving had a engine light come up. While signing paperwork the car's rear seat levers and bezels were taken out which should have been secured for me. They refused to find and give back to me. The government subsidies and rebates are supposed to be for me/customer, but they instead raised the price by a similar amount. They made a very strong case for this. Since I did not know what to say, I ... Read More

Phill Boggs and Hunter Horn made my buying experience painless, efficient, and satisfying. I called on the car I wanted, got pricing, availability, and odometer information quickly. I arrived at the dealer 3.5 hours away from home to a smile and a handshake, a clean car, keys ready to test drive, paperwork ready to sign, and a helpful Phil guiding me as I loaded the car in my enclosed trailer.

Tyler is an awesome salesman. The vehicle that I was interested in was sold that morning I called, but Tyler helped locate a 2024 Kia Forte-GT Line for me in the Dayton area. We negotiated a fair price for the vehicle, and I drove back up to Columbus two days later to buy the vehicle.

I had to come back in and put a tow hitch on and the service department was even great. I even had a sales person from Germain toyota help us out. The Germain family should be very proud of these associates Ken Gurung, Skylar Smith, Ricardo Gomaz, and Brian Franks.
