Awesome! They all had great spirits when assisting me. Accommodated me in getting what I wanted and did it with a smile. Made me feel appreciated and welcome. Went far beyond the call of duty. My husband even offered to buy lunch. That's saying something because he is stingy!!! 😂

Steven is incredibly rude. Additionally, he flat out lied to me. Don't believe him when he tells you that you HAVE to purchase the insurance. He thought it was okay to treat me like I'm beneath him. If this is the way he is willing to treat before the sale, can't imagine how he will treat someone after the sale.
