Very pushing, went to look at a certain car never shown the car. They try to push a newer more expensive car on me using the excuse I would never get a loan because of my credit score with an older car with lots of miles try to push a newer car with fewer miles costing a lot more money. What a surprise went to a different dealer looked at the same car same yours right around the same miles and I got a loan. Definitely would not recommend this dealership. One star is being generous.

I went to the dealership after receiving a call to view the vehicle. The vehicle I was shown was not the vehicle requested. I was taken to the correct vehicle, but the sales rep did not have keys and the vehicle was locked. I was told I would receive a call when they found the keys for the vehicle, but I never received a response

Very enjoyable to work with. Purchased a Jaguar F-type from out of state. They sent all requested pictures of the car I requested. Car was just as described, probably better. All paperwork was sent back and forth by overnight express, at their expense. They also included shipping (250 miles). Bought on Saturday and car arrived Thursday. Special thanks to Quincy (finance) and Ryan (sales).

Once again McGrath came through for us and Quincy Niles is an amazing sales professional committed to ONLY the BEST customer service. This is the third car we have purchased from Quincy @ McGrath and he is the reason we return. Thank you for the additional assistance from Adam (sales) and Ryan (finance) who were both great and super helpful with the process when Quincy was not available. I am so happy with my new BMW X3 and appreciate the opportunity to work with Quincy once again!

Generally good experience. Liked the salesperson. Bought the Chevy Bolt. Dealer's rep (not the salesperson) tried to sell extended warranty - a process that took way too much time for something we did not want and did not purchase. Dealership is clean.

Tyler Flores contacted me right away. He really worked with me on getting the deal I needed. He made the process simple. No problem taking the car to an independent service place to get it checked out. There were a few minor issues they were going to fix, so he let me take my trade-in home as a “loaner”. I am 1 1/2 hours away, and they’ll deliver my car when ready. Impressive.

Ran through all of the steps, put a deposit down. The sales person Tyler always hung up before I was done talking. The sales managers were unwilling to lower price even a little to get us to our monthly payment range. Long story short I lost my deposit for nothing, and the people there were just careless.

So as we were sitting there (for a long long time, I might add- oldest tactic in the book), they came in and told us that the car's previous owner just showed up to buy it back and if we want it we'd better act now. Really? I mean, really??? The car's been on the lot for three months and the guy happens to show up at the exact time we were looking at it too? What do you even say to that?? Needless to say we left and didn't go back. Not sure I want to work with a dealer who honestly thinks I am that stupid.

Slow replies, esp. to my offers. After about 3 emails they said their price was as low as it would go. By that time I had made and had an offer accepted at another dealer. 3 stars for a reasonable price starting point on an apparently beautiful older car.

I made an appointment to test drive a vehicle on Saturday and asked if it was going to be there for sure because I lived an hour and a half away. They assured me it would be there ready to go...I got there and it was nowhere to be found and not one person in the dealership could locate it. I test drove another vehicle that I knew I didn't want and ended up leaving with a promise that they would contact me Monday before noon. I hadn't heard from them by 1:00 on Monday so I called and was unable to get ahold of the person I had been talking to. I called again an hour later and was unable to get ahold of the person I wanted but another dealer got on the phone and said he was taking over. A few hours later he found the vehicle and asked when I could come test drive it to purchase. I said I was not going to drive an hour and a half again unless we could agree on a price- we never did end up agreeing on a price and I didn't end up going back because I found the same vehicle with better features for a better price and they worked with me on the price that we could agree on before we drove the three and a half hours it took to get to that one. The dealer I was working with at Zimmerman had continued calling multiple times a day and I wasn't able to get back to him until after I had purchased the other vehicle because I was busy with work. Overall, the dealers I spoke with were very polite, but the second dealer was very pushy. I could tell that he thought he could get me to pay the higher price and that if I drove the hour and a half I would just agree to the higher price so I didn't drive there for nothing again, and I assume that is because I am a young female. That's a problem with many dealers- not just Zimmerman. I don't blame them for wanting to make the sale since that's their job, but I do wish they would have been able to locate the vehicle I asked for when I was there. Upon reading reviews on their Facebook site, this is not uncommon for this dealer- not sure about the reasoning behind that, but multiple people had the same experience I did. It worked out well in the end because I got a better vehicle for a better price that I absolutely love. They were also going to only give me $1,700 for my car to trade-in, even though the KBB price is minimum $5,000 and on AutoTrader it sells for $7,100 on average. Again, fine with me because I have the ability to sell my car privately but many people are unable to purchase a vehicle without a trade-in. I wouldn't say that they are a terrible car dealership- in the future I may end up using them again depending on the price of the vehicle I want, but I would know what to expect and be prepared for the process.

I felt the price was fair, but they use the typical "used car" salesman tactics on trade-in and in the finance dept. Wes is a stand-up sales rep and worked hard on customer service. Undecided on if they have earned more biz down the road.

I felt insulted by the way the gentleman treated me. Not the fellow that I dealt with, but the man who has the final say on the transaction. I drove over 4 hours and this man told me that they didn't want my vehicle and then he offered me $1000 for it, i mentioned to him that i had found ouut that trade in was around $3690 ffor my vehicle, and he responded that he could buy them all day for $2800 on line. He said if mine was worth $3690 then what was his worth. I knew what his was worth, so why did he advertise it for $13,970. He said that i must have known it was a good deal or I would not have driven clear across the state. If he was firm on his vehicle and didn't want to take a trade then he should have stated it as such.

The car I emailed about wasn't on the lot despite a salesman emailing me to set up a time to come and see it. We did go to look and they brought their sales manager out to try and sell us a brand new car knowing it was out of our stated price range. Not impressed.

Had a unpleasurable experience. We had made a deal that they would pay for install of a sunroof and then they tried to get out of it. Found out while dealing that a strut needed repaired and we would have to schedule for that and the car hadn't been detailed, still had a booster seat in the trunk. Saleman tried to tell us it had been detailed and they didnt have time to do it again. We held to our deal and actually took the car home for the night waiting for them to decide if they would stand true to what they offered us. They did call and decided to go ahead with the deal so we returned the next day to finish paperwork. Realized the fob didn't work so asked salesman to have it checked out and he returned from service and handed me the fob while stating I would have to take it to a Chrysler dealer to fix. I then told him what he could do with the fob and we took our old car back. Guess I assumed when buying a vehicle that it should be in working order and clean when you drive away with it, guess I assumed wrong.

The buying experience was so pleasant. I didn't end up getting the Hyundai that I originally went to look at but I did get a Ford Focus that I just LOVE! They stayed with me until everything was done and I didn't feel rushed nor did I sense that the staff had an attitude about needing to stay just a little late. My family has bought cars from them in the past as well and when I told them that I was going to Zimmerman they were all thumbs up!
