It is very difficult to summarize what a horrible experience I had at this place. For your own good...""buyer beware."" Especially military, our lives are difficult enough as it is, we don't need places like this taking advantage of us. But unfortunately I learned the hard way.\r

Internet/phone conversations were only meant to lure me in. They would provide no specifics through online/phone conversing, only come in, come in, come in and that's the only way they will answer questions/concerns. When I walked into the dealership I stated that I was interested in a specific vehicle I saw online. The guy told me to wait a minute while he got someone to help me. After 40 minutes a sales person approached me. There were only about 3 other customers there, so the extended wait was definitely not because they were too busy. And it is obvious why. Then I was just passed around from sales person to sales person (Brandy, Vinnie, Paul) every time I questioned anything that was either thrown in front of me to sign or if I asked for further clarification with any concerns. Basically they gave me the runaround. Every time I asked anyone a question they would just redirect it to someone else. Then when asked, they wouldn't have an answer so they would just start talking about something off topic.\r

The finance office was no better. The same over the top and unnecessary pressure to stop asking questions and just ""hurry up and sign"" was the atmosphere. I was being hurried and rushed to just sign away from this Sonny character. I also received a rude lecture telling me not to worry about any details that I had concerns about because I was getting a great deal. He continued and said something along the lines that they are overpaying me for my trade-in, and he can't even believe that they are selling me the new vehicle at this price. He further stated I was lucky and should just be grateful because the dealership is losing so much money with my sale. All of this being said as he threw what I assumed was an invoice down on the desk. Even the GM, Chris made comments such as, ""you better do this or else"" and ""I'm not in the business of repeating myself, I only say things once"" to me. I think his dealership scare tactics are a little outdated.\r

Everything said and done, I am embarrassed that I was taken advantage of by seasoned professionals who unnecessarily hassled me with anxiety and uncalled for pressure. But, I finally found a dealership that has a professional staff who is ethical and creates a comfortable and family friendly environment - West Hills Jeep in Bremerton. I just bought a new vehicle from them last week and couldn't be more satisfied and proud to (only) be their customer and a part of their family now :)
