Great dealer experience in Florida.

stmbtwilli · 02-10-2016, 03:07 PM

I live in upstate NY, have a 6th Gen. Camaro on order and wanted to test drive an a8 in Florida. With the 6mn on constraint I was pondering whether I could live with an automatic transmission. I thought it would be a great idea to drive one this week while vacationing at my daughter's in Clermont. However I wasn't so sure a dealer would think that it was such a good idea after hearing my story.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

The folks at Don Mealy Chevrolet in Clermont were supremely accommodating. The first person I encountered was salesperson Jenna Romer, who was enthusiastic and thought that a test drive would be okay. She brought over the sales manager, Rodney Allen, who, without hesitation, agreed with her. So Jenna and I went on an extended, spirited run. After our return I had great "car guy" conversation with general manager Ted Pappas.

Needless to say, this is the place and these are the people I prefer spending my money with.
If you are in the market for a new Camaro or any Chevy, I highly recommend these professionals.

Oh, and no, I can't live with an automatic.

Treating people right really does go a long way.

Awesome to hear there are still some good dealers out there! Always amazing me how simple it is to treat people/customers the right way the first time around and you will get business. Simple ways of doing business and you make tons of sales.
