Tom Godwin is a great asset to your team. He is one of the main reasons my family decided to do business with Royal Automotive. We are repeat clients so most of our transaction was handled over the phone. The Sales & Finance Teams took over and we were out of the dealership in less than one hour. Great Experience!

Wonderful experience

Tom was wonderful from the moment he introduced himself to us. Very knowledgeable on the vehicles we were looking at yesterday. Were unable to initial get the first vehicle of choice but Aaron and Tom gave us a few options to look at that would work for our situation. They went above and beyond anything I have experienced when buying a car. I will be back when the time comes to get another vehicle because of them. Can’t say enough about how great they were to work with.

2018 Atlas SEL Premium

From the pricing process all the way to final paperwork was a breeze thanks to Tom Godwin, Larry Ketchum and Aaron Hawk. We highly recommend this dealership and these folks in particular

They convinced me that they wanted to earn my repeat busines

I purchased my second new vehicle from this dealer. I think they are straightforward and worked hard to keep me coming back. A costly repair on my old vehicle put me in the car market earlier than I had hoped-- but they worked with me to help me make the best decision with regard to purchase or repair.

Helpful but not pushy!

Unlike another experience that day at a different dealership, David showed us what we wanted to see and didn’t waste our time filling out forms until we weee ready to deal.
