Myself and my family, over the years, have purchased at least 18 (lost count, probably more) cars from the guys at Upstate Auto Center. Problems with a few? sure. Fixed correctly in a timely manner? absolutely. Prices in line with other dealerships for comparable models? Yes. Overall buying experience has always been great. I've 'ordered' cars/ trucks, Mike has gone to the sales to find what I'm looking for, brought back a couple that weren't 'the one', ""no problem, I'll look again at the next sale""- has always found what we wanted, usually even the right color and miles. Doesnt have many cars on the lot? Who cares, fill out a credit app.- once approved, Mike will find what you're looking for. Simple. Biggest/ baddest dealership in the world? Who wants those headaches. Mike and crew know their customers, they know the repair shops, they know where to find quality cars. \r
After 25 years in business, I'm sure Mike has met his share of bad apples, any business owner has, I'm a small business owner and take offense to some of the other posts, and honestly, wish the best for mr. 'put up signs all over town', sounds illegal to me- Defamation of character, not to mention destruction of personal property (You DO know that those poles are someone elses' property, correct?, better hope a utility co. worker doesnt get injured climbing the 'greased pole') Some people should THINK a bit before they post and take credit for ILLEGAL activities on a world-wide site. \r
Not to take away from the intentions of this post, I just wanted to say myself and my family have been very happy buying cars from Mike and crew for the past 13 years, we have purchased at least 1-2 vehicles/ year, and will gladly go back there for our next purchases. \r
Thanks Upstate Auto Center, see you soon. \r
Matt.
