Dealing with Brian at Ed Howard was a pleasant experience. They gave me more than I expected for the trade in and I really like the Chevy Cruze Premier I got in trade. The entire process was first class and I highly recommend dealing with Brian.

Didn't feel like they were willing to make a reasonable deal (tried to beat me down on my trade in value). I came from out of town to test drive the car, that was not ready (broke rear window motor and head gasket oil burning). Mind you my trade in everything worked and looked excellent condition!

I had a bitter-sweet experience at this dealership. We got a pretty good deal on a great used car. However, the customer service left a LOT to be desired. The salesman wasn't cordial and seemed disinterested. The sales/mgmt. team fumbled and dragged their feet on the paperwork. The whole process was pretty frustrating.
I called to purchase this car for three weeks. They offered to send me additional pictures of the exterior of the car but I never received them. After waiting and waiting, the last time I called, I was told "that someone was looking at my car and if they didn't buy it, then it would be all mine". That was a complete slap in my face. They are very shady.

Their customer service was not good. I went to view the car, and the gentleman helping me was not helpful. He did not seem interested, did not have answers, and did not allow me to test drive the car when asked. I will not go back.

Great Dealer Steven Wilkinson was very easy to work with.
I purchased the car. The sales person could not locate the second
Smartkey. I was told by the sales person he would help me out with one if
it could not be located. I went to the dealer two days after the purchase
and was told the sales person no longer worked there. The sales manager
said he would look into the key matter, (they are $300). I called and went in
several times and was told the previous owner of the car was contacted
and was looking for the key. I stopped in Ed Howard and the sales
manager told me the previous owner thought the key was in a box in the
garage!? Sorry, car owners don't keep $300 spare keys in boxes in their
garages. I have not heard from sales manager and have stopped calling
them. As a result of their inattention I ordered a key from local Benz dealer.

Was contacted promptly by a nice salesperson who was friendly and informative. I decided not to buy this particular car as it was lacking a few options I was looking for plus the distance from my home was more than I had preferred to travel for a car.
