It’s not very often that people go to a dealership and walk away without a car and say that they’ve had a great experience. However, every once in a while it actually “does” happen. When it does happen the impression that is left with you is that every dealership should be a professional as Grand Prix Imports.
Now, we’ve all had our fair share of horror stories and dealerships. There’s usually so much pressure to buy a car and that there usually involves some sort of belittlement or hassle. I’ve even heard of brawls breaking loose on the sales floor. I’ll admit that I used to work at a dealership myself and even though it was low key in comparison to other local dealerships, it could still be a pretty high pressure atmosphere. That has never happened with Grand Prix Imports, even when they knew that my budget was tighter than most of the clientele that they are usually accustom too.
Joe Hermes (joe@gpimports.com or 800-763-1016) has been so easy to get along with and he’s so easy to talk to that you almost don’t mind paying a little bit extra for the car, just based on his customer service alone. It’s time we say “thank you” for people like him and he has become the epitome of what a salesperson should be. He knows his product(s) inside and out. He’s familiar with how to drive the cars the way they should be driven and he won’t hesitate to take you out to show you (with respect to the traffic laws). Yes, he did ask me to buy the Ferrari 348 but what good salesperson wouldn’t. That was it… that was the only pressure that I ever felt from the dealership, “if” you’d call that pressure. I didn’t buy the car only because personal circumstances prevented me from doing so. Otherwise I would have bought it without question.
I do have a co-worker that has bought a car from Grand Prix Imports and we, to this day, still talk about the amazing service that they provide and he is looking for his next purchase from them. Whatever car he chooses, he knows that it will be a great experience.
Joel Tandberg was a guy that I talked to about the performance parts for the Ferrari. He can get anything from Wheels, tires, suspension, etc. You name it he can get it. I’ll be honest, I’ve known Joel for a couple of years now and he’s good at what he does. So while you’re there be sure to talk to him.
When you’re around car manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Spyker, Panoz, Austin Martin, Porsche and more, you’d expect high class treatment and with Gran Prix Imports you do and more. Stop by and check them out or look them up online.
