Person who contacted me was very rude and disrespectful. Asking would I pay more than his car was worth. I’m 50 years old I don’t need to be spoken to like a child. Not to mention the original text message was simply sending my first name. Again. I should be addressed as Mr . Not like one of your drinking buddies. I’m disgusted with the childish unprofessional
Approach of this business.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. Please know that our initial text messages are automated by AI, so if you would have preferred to be addressed a certain way, that could have been made clear in the first conversation. I’d also be able to address this matter further if you had left your last name so I can see exactly who you dealt with. That said, our sales team is very professional and would never intentionally be rude or disrespectful to anyone. We take pride in treating every customer with courtesy and respect, and I’m confident that any misunderstanding was not meant

The name of the dealer was Scotty. He was very polite and had a charming personality. He explained
any questions I had for him. We spent about 4 hours together while getting a quote on my car to trade in
and transferring ALL of my STUFF into the 2021 Pacifica I purchased. I did find one problem while there
with the van which he had a service person come right out to look at. They couldn't fix the problem right
away but the service department told me to contact them for a good time to come in and have it taken
care of. It was about a 2 hour drive for me, but it was a smooth transaction and I am happy with my
experience.

Felt extremely pressured to make a quick decision. Did not appreciate their finance manager's arrogance whilst discussing loan options. He played the game of making my payment fit into the loan terms instead of lowering the price of the vehicle. I was only offered a lower price after I reached out via email to our salesperson stating we believed the mileage was too high for the car. I mistakenly contacted Candy Cars about the Audi Q7 a week or so later due to a cargurus ad. I was told by the original salesperson that the Q7 sold for full price days after we decided not to purchase, yet the same vehicle has still been advertised. Something seems very sleazy about Candy Cars as a dealership.

Brandon from candy cars was great to work with highly recommend.

Straight forward. Tony was easy to deal with. Would recommend.
Shadyâ¦Watch the bait and switch⦠went back multiple times after being
told the vehicles were available to find out they were sold within the same hr
they supposedly had it. Then they apologize and try and sell you something
else. The âsoldâ vehicles are still posted on car gurus and other sites with
cheaper prices.

Unfortunately I am unable to respond to your review directly by name, due to the disconnect of identifying who you are; however I will share with you that inventory move fast, especially this time of year being tax season and all. Thought not our intentions, there are some customers get their feathers ruffled when they don't/ can't get what they want due to availability levels, but we do try our best to accommodate with alternative options when this happens. Also with the many digital platforms our business uses to market our vehicles, inventory listings can vary when they are removed from

I didn't even get to look at the vehicle I went to Candy Cars to see. They were just
inspecting my jeep the whole time. Which I wasn't expecting. The sales women was
walking around talking to co workers while I was sitting and waiting. It was a wasted hour
of my life and I will never return.

Honesty is the best policy: they gave accurate price; they checked
vehicle thoroughly; they ensured all problem areas were addressed -
even large ones I hadn't seen. All around fair and honest. A rare breed.
