Buying a great pre-owned vehicle doesn't have to be loaded with drama and stress! Take a drive to see me in "downtown" Cedarville for a stress free buying experience. I've been in the auto business since 2005 and General Motors Factory Certified in Sales and Technology since 2007. Buying a car should be fun and exciting!

Tim sounds like a real champion for taking the time to explain everything to your daughter, the future driver of the car. That's what we call going the extra mile (or should we say, the extra test drive?). We know how important it is for everyone to feel comfortable with the car buying process, and Tim definitely deserves a high five for that. Thanks for the appreciation, and next time you're cruising by for service or just a chat, feel free to bring the whole family!

Tim made the buying process quick and easy. The truck was as pictured and described on the website. I let them know when I would be there and they had the truck and all paperwork ready for me. More
