Jim Larson exceeded my expectations

From the moment I stepped into the dealership, Jim Larson gave me excellent service. He was able to turn what seemed like an impossible situation into a more than possible one. He actually seemed to care about getting me a new vehicle and more so getting me the best deal possible on it. He treated me like family by going far beyond what he needed to do. I am very satisfied with the service, the product and I recommend Bowman Sellers to anyone who needs a vehicle. Most dealerships are filled with salesmen that are willing to tell you anything and rip you off to fill their pockets. You won't find that here. I was really wary of the dealership at first, but it only took me about fifteen minutes inside to see what kind of people I was really dealing with. Great experience.

Stand Apart Sales Service!

Nothing but praise for our salesman, Jim Larson - a kind, friendly, service-driven guy - I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends and family his way! Manager Brian even let me take a BMW overnight before I decided on my beautiful, gently used 2013 MKX. Awesome experience!

great people

I got approved with bad credit. No money down and they took my old vehicle as a trade in with no questions. Sellers bowman helped me get back on track where others balked. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great Customer Service, Car is okay

My experience at Sellers Bowman was good. My agent, John, was very friendly and helpful. I do think I got a good deal on the car. As with purchasing any used vehicle, I expected it to have some kinks to work out. They had done a lot of tune ups to the car, which was great. I only wish I had known about an ignition issue on the Chevy Equinox's prior. Soon after I got the car home, I started having issues taking my key out of the ignition on the steering column. I took it to my mechanic and he said he cleaned out some debris from the shifting column, but that has not solved the issue so I fear I may have to get that replaced in the near future. It is what it is right?

Jim Larson went above and beyond!

We were looking for a used vehicle and some dealerships did not even respond to our inquiries. Jim follows up by phone and email and helped make the deal happen. He even pulled the car up for the appointment. At another dealer they led us around the parking lots with no clue as to where the car was parked. Thanks Jim!

Standing out from most used car dealerships

Used cars are used cars. Nobody can predict 100%, what is going to happen with any of them. So, it is nerve wrecking by nature to buy a used car. But Jim Larson and Brian Burke at Sellers Bowman made it comfortable and actually fun. Almost like buying a new car... They were upfront with everything, let me drive the car by myself and even suggested to have it checked out by an independent mechanic. After agreeing on the terms the car was ready at the set time for pickup and was even washed and had tire shine on the tires! Thank you for an excellent experience!

Tremendous Dealership, Pleasant Buying Experience!

I searched for a used van for almost two months going to about 115 used car lots from Detroit to Dearborn, Sterling Heights to Ann Arbor. I have to be honest, I began to dread going to a used car lot. I was flat out lied to, deceived, pressured, you name it, I experienced it. When I contacted Sellers, I expected the same. I was absolutely surprised, shocked and pleased. No pressure, honest salesmen, clean shop, and the van I was looking for at the price I could afford. They gave me a tremendous, fair trade price for my used vehicle. I wouldn't go anywhere else. If I need another vehicle I am going there again. John Lusk, the salesman I talked too, was very personable, honest and pleasant to deal with. Never pressured me for a second. Ask for him when you go in. Thank you again Sellers! I would recommend you anytime!!!!

My experience with Jim Larson and Tim Shea

My experience with Jim Larson and Tim Shea was one of ease and comfort. Normally, purchasing a car is burdensome and frustrating. However, the experience of the team at Sellers Bowman was excellent. I was able to get into a great car that I could afford and I will refer anyone in the market for a new or used vehicle purchase to Sellers Bowman. Thank you Jim and Tim for providing wonderful service and explaining the mountains of documents so nothing was overlooked. Lastly, Jim came in on his day off to personally deliver the car to me. Who does that?? I am grateful for this as I really needed the car and he made it happen! Thank you once again Jim and Tim.

Sellers Bowman, Clarkston, MI

Buying cars is one of my least favorite things to do. 'Which is probably why I've bought so few cars in my life. Recently, I found a vehicle on-line located at this dealership. Their location was not near to where I live, but the car fit the bill of what I was looking for. Based on reviews I found at this site, I called Jim Larsen (who seems to show up quite a lot, and in a good way in the dealership's review record). I can't be more satisfied with my choice. Jim handled everything for me with professionalism, courtesy and charm. A great guy. My purchase was at an acceptable rate. The car is exactly as described. No complaints. All good. I would strongly recommend Jim Larsen to anyone interested in finding an honest, easy to work with car salesman.
