D’Max sped up the process of getting me back on the road

D’Max sped up the process of getting me back on the road in my brand new vehicle. I drove about 3 hours to get my new ride. D’Max ensured that everything was satisfactory, and even reached out 2 days later to make sure everything was still good. His customer service was excellent and I highly recommend him for all of your needs at EchoPark Automotive in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The truck was just what I wanted.

The truck was just what I wanted. The first day I was had limited time but sales associate and Manager were great to help speed the first part up. I returned two days later to purchase and it went south. While doing the purchase paperwork, the sales associate went from polite to very rude and confrontational to my wife for asking questions about fees and a misunderstanding about ways to make the down payment. Even telling us to “Either buy the car or leave”. Strangest thing that has ever happened to us at a dealership. The manager was great though. Went out of his way to make things right.

I live out of state and this dealer refused to sell me a car unless I physically went into their store 2 hours drive from me. They said they had to prevent fraudulent purchases. Then why did a dealership two states away sell me a car the next day? Step into the 21st century echo Park! I would have paid more because you had the car I wanted but your sales team was unhelpful and borderline rude!

Steven Forbes made buying a car a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend him!! We are a young couple and desperately needed a vehicle to accommodate our growing family. We needed to stay in a certain price range and he made it happen. Thank you so much for your help!
