We just went to look & ended up buying a new 3500 Dodge Ram Laramie. Dave Lareau was an awesome salesman. He & the crew made the buying process quick & painless. Love this place!

I bought a low mileage 2013 Laramie Longhorn 3500, loaded. The whole process of buying as well as my trade in was simple, direct, and very happy with entire process. Owner, Dave(salesman), and all the other people involved were really spot on and easy to work "with". I am 51 and driven Chevy since I was 16, the salesman joking said that 'it was about time I stepped' up. Sorry to say Chevy, this truck is a step up and we are taking this Ram for a ride. We are retiring, hooking to a 43 foot fifth wheel, and enjoying the ride across USA.

Went in to look at a used truck but ended up with a new one. Ed was very easy to deal with and the sale was as smooth as I have ever had.

Overall our experience was very good. There is a few small things that could of been better. We like the truck that we purchased and are very well pleased with it. Gordon the fiance person could not have been any more friendly and professional with us. He had the paperwork ready and we signed and was done the fastest I have ever gotten a loan. Ed went outside and went through the details of the truck with us and even had the code for the doors from the last owner.

Just want to say, "Kudos"! to Dave Houston in the Service Department! He's an excellent service manager! His customer service skills are above and beyond. Everyone in the service department has always been very courteous, friendly, and helpful. I've been to 2 other dealer's service departments here in Clinton, and Douglas Dodge has the #1 Service Department. 5 STAR SERVICE! :) 5 Thumbs up for Dave!

Taylor at Douglas Dodge was great! I bought the car out of state and Taylor was awesome sending me pictures of the car and talking to me on the phone. He even had someone pick me up from the airport in Bloomingdale, so I could purchase the car and drive it home. He also had his shop guys put on new wheels on the car, after I had snow tires shipped to him. Overall the experience was great buying.

Went to this dealership after talking to a salesman. I had the truck picked out and trade-in offer also financing setup. I went there and they changed their offers. I would never go back or recommend them at all. If you do, go there knowing they will tell you a different story once there and not stand behind their offers and prices,

Bought my first new truck from Douglas. Not a fan of high pressure sales and didn't have to worry about that here. Everyone here from Salesman Dave Lareau to Gordon in finance were friendly, fair, informative and helpful.

Dave Lareau was friendly and very helpful, and went out of his way to help us with our purchase. If you are in the market for new or slightly used vehicle, please check them out. The prices are the some of the lowest in central Illinois and their service is top notch. We'll be back.

I just bought a Chrysler van from Douglas Dodge. I live in Minnesota and found the van on line. The price was much cheaper than anyone I looked at to date. The buying process was actually pleasant with Nick the salesperson. It was refreshing to find a dealership that values customers and customer service over any other part of the business. They even picked me up at the airport. While driving back to Minnesota I thought about what a great experience I had buying this van. They made me feel like they were partners with me in the purchase. It's a great way to do business! I really appreciated it. Great company, great staff, and a great van. It was well worth the trip! Thanks Douglas Dodge. Bill Porter Minnesota.

We are very satisfied! We searched all over and Douglas Dodge had the most car for the least money of anywhere we found. We drove over 250 miles to buy our car there. We didn't make it before they closed and the salesman who usually had Friday as his day off, came in especially for us on Friday. He even called the motel and got us a discount on a room. The sale process who quick and flawless. Everyone in the building was friendly and courteous. Would recommend them to whoever needs a car.

Just purchased the 2013 Town & Country van from Douglas Dodge. Smooth transaction from start to finish due to Dave Lareau. He is the Best! Got me a price that was OVER a $1000.00 less than I could get locally.So we drove about 60 miles. He is a a pleasure to do business with. I am really loving my new Van & would recommend him to everyone. Goes out of his way to make sure you get what U want.. Also got a FANTASTIC rate on financing. So take the time to let him see what kind of deal he can get you!!

My husband and I seen a Dodge Journey on the internet under this dealership. We had inquired about it and took a drive there. It was a little over a 2 hr drive. We read many reviews on this certain salesperson. This was Dave Lareau. We were told to go for a test drive. I love when the salesperson doesn't come with. It is more relaxing and less stressful. The deal didn't go through on the day we were there. The financing was too much for us; we decided to wait. The dealership called us back and worked out the numbers for us. We eventually went back in a few days. Everything was waiting for our signatures. Then we were on our way back home with our new car. Other than that little glitch in the deal we were very pleased and still pleased of how it worked out. We give 5 stars to the dealership and to Dave. To me he is the best salesperson of this country. I am not happy dealing with salespeople, but he is exceptional. Remember, just deal with Dave.

We were in an unfortunate accident and needed a replacement van asap. After being jerked around by another local dealer, we made the trek to Clinton to see about a 2013 Dodge Caravan. We picked Dave Lareau out of the line-up, and fate was on our side. He was not pushy, but was patient and helpful. We got our van below blue book and below what others in this area were asking for the same van with less amenities. We're very pleased with our experience and will definitely return for our next vehicle.

Extremely pleased with my Salesman, Dave Lareau, and the Dealership as a whole. I found the Ram pickup with the options I wanted on Cars.com and Douglas Dodge. The price, incentives and great communications were very refreshing. Dave offered direct, honest, low pressure sales assistance. I traveled from east coast Maryland on a holiday weekend to pick up my new truck. With only pictures and conversations with Dave, I still was confident on having a good buying experience. Keep up the great work Douglas Dodge and Dave Lareau. I tend to hold to my vehicles for a good long time but when I do need another I will remember Douglas Dodge.

We just purchased a 2013 town and country from Dave Lareau. He was very informative about the van and answered all of our questions. He even came in on his day off for us so we could pick it up that day. We had a very good experience and will highly recommend Douglas and Dave to our family and friends. When the time comes to trade cars we will be for sure be dealing with Douglas and Dave.

My recent purchase of my 2013 dodge avenger couldn't have been any more pleasant. Dave lareau offered a very relaxed environment. He didn't try to preassure me into buying or looking at another car. He knew exactly what I wanted and what my financial needs were. After the deal was made within the hour I was driving off in my freshly cleaned and polished new car! Dave was very informative and knowledgable of the car. Great guy to do business with and a fabulous dealership to shop at!

Love My New Charger!

Our salesman was Dave Lareau, He took the time to answer any questions that we had and compare a couple of vehicles' features and prices to ensure we were getting the exact car we wanted and would be happy with. Dave is very understanding & easy to work with and there was no pressure to hurry up and make a quick decision. Dave was very understanding and went in on his day off to ensure all paperwork was in order. Closing the deal was an awesome experience as well. We were in & out in no time. Our experience with Douglas Dodge was awesome and stress free! I would recomment Douglas Dodge and Dave Lareau to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. Thank you!!

I purchased a 2012 Chrysler 300. The process was easy and no "high pressure" tactics. I needed a small repair to the vehicle after I purchased it and that was scheduled quickly and done satisfactorily. Although this dealer was about thirty miles from me they had a nice supply of the type of vehicle I was seeking and also appear to b very competitive on price.

Our Dealer Was Dave Lareau, HE Took The Time To Stay Late With Us And Gave Us The Attention That A Closer Dealership Did Not. He Was Very CooperativE And Understanding In What We Wanted And Needed. He Came In On His Day Off To Finish The Paperwork And Really We Could Not Have Asked For Much More! The Whole Buying Process Was Virtually Pain Free! I Would Recommend This Dealership And Dave To Anyone Wanting To Buy A Vehicle, Great Job Douglas Dodge!

Purchased a new RAM 2500. They had the best selection of new trucks on the lot I could find anywhere. Our salesman, Dave Lareau, was helpful without being pushy. He knew the vehicles, what they had in stock, and was very patient while we looked at several. He made several trips to get different sets of keys as we looked through the options without any complaining. The buying process was excellent, with no hardsell push for extra warranties, or other items I've had to deal with at other dealers in the past.

We had a wonderful experience working with Dave Lareau! If you are looking for the perfect vehicle for you and/or your family, this is who you want to ask for! Dave's customer service is second to none. He makes you feel very comfortable and pays attention to the details. He is happy to answer your questions and is very knowledgable about the products he sells. This was the best car buying experience I have ever had.

Dave at Douglas Dodge was very helpful when purchasing my 2012 Grand Caravan. He treated me with a lot of respect as a female and took his time with me explaining every new feature and even dealt with me over the next few weeks over emails and phone calls to help us find the best van for our family.

I purchased my used car from Dave Lareau. He was professional, friendly, and patient in answering my questions and concerns. Dave was prompt with follow-up and attention to details. The quality of their used cars is excellent. I found the Douglas Dodge dealership to be fair and honest and would gladly do business with Dave again!

I already wrote a review once but cars.com must have lost it? Anyway, I bought a 2012 Dodge Avenger on 3/18/13 and LOVE it! Dave Lareau was EXCELLENT! I test drove probably 5 or 6 cars and had him running all over the lot to find the ones I wanted and he was very friendly and patient the whole time! They have a GREAT selection of used cars with GREAT options! The buying process is very FAST and efficient! I would definitely recommend Douglas Dodge and will for sure buy another car from there when the time comes! Thanks!

Dave at Douglas Dodge did a great job in assisting me with purchasing my 2012 Grand Caravan. I worked with him over a 4 week period trying to decide on the perfect van for our family and after changing my selection half a dozen times, I finally decided on one. Even though Douglas Dodge has the vehicles priced very aggressively, you can rest assured that the vehicles are top quality because they provide you with a carfax report. I drove over 4 hours to finally test drive the vehicle and it was exactly what was depicted in the photos and through the conversations I had with Dave. I will definitely keep Douglas Dodge in mind when making future vehicle purchases.

I had been looking online for a used car. I decided to come into Douglas because of the selection they offered. They had 22 Dodge Avengers which was what I had been looking at. Dave was very helpful and low pressure. I appreciated him giving my father and I space to talk it out without hovering over us. I had a great experience today and I will be back in the future!

Dave Lareau was great and patient. Listened to what I wanted and needed and brought me the perfect car. He fit me in with my schedule in mind. It was totally effortless on my part. Also Tony came out of his office and was talking to customers. Very friendly place. I will tell all my friends and family about them. What I like best is they didnt try talking me into anything I couldnt afford or I didnt want. Thank you

I cannot think of a better car buying experience! Dave Lareau is not all about making a "deal" but more about taking care of his customers and giving them what they want. We went in looking for a used Durango and walked away with a brand new one instead! He took the time to make sure we were happy and really cared about what we needed and wanted in a vehicle, whether is was the looks of the vehicle or the price ranges we wanted. He ran around outside, mind you it was windy, cold and started snowing, finding other vehicles to meet our needs, and he always had a smile on his face. Dave was great and made the experience that much better for us and we cannot say how much we appreciated it. He even called and checked in on us a few weeks later to see how things were going. Thank you Dave!

After a disappointing first experience with the Douglas Team, I have to report that based off the Hard Work of Salesman Ed Noffsinger, the Douglas Team has regained some respect from me. I think with some time behind us, both the Douglas Team and myself have found ways that our past experience could have been better. It's refreshing to see that businesses can learn from their mistakes and improve their customer service. Thanks A Lot ED! Ed worked hard to correct and negative situation.

I just bought my second minivan from Douglas. Dave Lareau handled the sale. Douglas buys a number of low-mileage program cars every year, and sells them about $2K less than anything I've seen anywhere else. This could be because there is really no negotiating room on these vehicles - which is good news if you don't like to haggle. It's worth the 160 mile round trip for me to get there. The selection of Dodge and Chrysler minivans is huge. Dave asked a number of good questions about my family and our driving habits to show that he really was interested in making a good fit. When I came back a year later, he remembered me and the names of everyone in the family. There was no pressure, never any nagging telephone calls. While offered extras (such as extended warranty) during the purchase, there was no pressure to accept those either. The facilities are clean and nice. I used their free wifi to do some comparisons. With their prices and easy sales process, I plan on trading annually.

After a little dissatisfaction with the Douglas team they have regained my respect. I had a disappointing first experience but after some time to reflect and with alot hard work on Ed's (sale man) part the Douglas team turn my initial disappointment around. I understand more of their side of the experience and I believe that my situation with them will improve future customer service for everyone. Refreshing to realize that even businesses can learn from mistakes!

Tracy

Jan 16, 2013

I had a good experience working with dealership. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Dave Lareau was my sales person and he was willing to come in on his day off and stay late to accomodate my schedule. Thanks everyone for working with me. Nothing negative to say.

Wade R

Jan 14, 2013

Ask for Dave Lareau. He made it a great experience purchasing my 2013 RAM. Buying a vehicle is one of the worst experiences in the world. Not here, no pressure, not the typical game that is played with a lowball trade-in offer just to make it look like they are working for you. I suggest going ahead and wasting about an hour of your time with another dealer just to get the normal experience, but DO NOT buy anything until you have talked to Dave at Douglas Dodge! I will be calling Dave in about a year, when I am looking for my daughter a used car.

Jan 10, 2013

My wife and I went to Douglas Dodge to buy a used minivan, a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country. We made the trip to Clinton from Champaign because they had the lowest starting prices. We went without an appointment. We met with Dave Lareau. He was friendly, courteous, and helped us test-drive, trade-in, finance and buy all in one visit, between the appointments he already had scheduled. We had our 12 month old son with us throughout the process and Dave was great with him too.A couple of days after the purchase we realized that the van was missing the DVD remote and headsets that came in the other vans we'd test drove. It was also missing the owner's manual. I gave Dave a call and he shipped us a package with the missing items, along with an extra key and our son's stocking cap which we had dropped in his office. Other than being kind and looking to please a customer he was under no obligation to go that extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. Great guy. We love the car, got more for our trade-in that we anticipated and would buy from there again.

If you think great price and caring people are a thing of the past - think again. After searching the web for the truck I wanted, I found it at Douglas Dodge. Sure it was a six hour drive one way but after talking to Dave L. on the phone a few times I felt the time would be well spent. Not only did I get a fantastic discount on the new truck but also a very fair trade in price for my 2012.Like the title says VERY REFRESHING.

I have been going to Douglas Dodge in Clinton off and on for 2 years trying to find my "dream" car. Dave Lareau has met me with a smile and the patience of a saint each and every time I went in. I would make sure to email Dave to see when he would be there and Dave has even offered to come in on his days off to let me test drive a car. Dave took the time out of his day to explain to me the functions of a car, the pros, as well as the cons, of each and every vehicle I looked at. Dave has always been very accomodating and understanding of my wants/needs. Dave would always tell me "If you don't find what you are looking for, just wait and keep looking. We will get you in a great car." He was NEVER pushy. I never once felt like Dave was just in it for the sale. Dave took the time to get to know me and helped me find the right vehicle for me. Dave ended up getting me behind the wheel of a Dodge Avenger, even though I didn't think it was what I wanted (I had gone to test drive a Chrysler 200 and was disapponted). I fell in love within the first 30 seconds of being behind that wheel. Dave made the entire process quick and painless. I am 100% satisfied with my vehicle, as well as the dealership and Dave, in particular. I will never go anywhere else.

This dealership provided little to no cooperation after I purchased a used Dodge Ram 3500 diesel. Within the first 30 days owning the truck the engine blew while traveling through Oklahoma. Douglas Dodge provided me no assistance in repairing the vehicle. They did not even offer to repair it if I could get it to them. During the engine failure, I was transporting a horse. Douglas Dodge refused to loan me a vehicle to return to Oklahoma to pick up my horse and trailer. Through the entire ordeal, Douglas Dodge offerred me $600.00 off the %14,000.00 repair cost. It's all about the sale to them, NO after the sale customer service here. STAY AWAY

Never felt compelled to write a review before until today. Found the truck I was looking for online at Douglas dodge called and spoke to Steve. I personally hate haggling so after a brief discussion over the phone we came up with agreed price. Drove three hours to purchase vehicle and when I arrived was told they would not accept my trade for the simple reason that my 4 wheel drive wasn't working. Being unaware of this problem, driving the distance to purchase the truck, and dealership having a service dept I was under the impression that we could come to some type of agreement. Manager was unwilling to even communicate with me so I drove another three hours home. My truck managed to make the 330 mile journey without any mishaps. Ill find another truck just very disappointed that I wasn't given an opportunity to buy the truck after the effort I put into purchasing it.

Found my Ram 2500 on their website. No one in New Jersey had the model I was looking for. Douglas not only had it but had many different styles, at a better price than every other dealer. Absolutly great experience. Picked me up at the airport, full tank of gas, Dave the salesman was very helpful and friendly. Wish we had dealers like this in New Jersey, but its alright because id take the flight and 11 hour drive home again to deal with the great people at Douglas! Price cant be beat, spreading the word in New Jersey.

Pathfinder for a Ram

Aug 5, 2012

I finally found the Ram truck I wanted, but it was 4 hours away. After a lot of second guessing myself and a couple phone conversations with Ed at Douglas Dodge, I decided to make the trip. The price on the truck was spot on for the options and condition of the vehicle, and they worked with me to make sure I got a fair deal on my trade in. It was very hot the day I made the trip, but before I got there, Ed had the truck I wanted to look at pulled in the shop so it could cool down a bit. After I drove the truck and found it to be everything their website and Ed had described to me, (and then some!) we negotiated for a few minutes on my trade in and made a deal. Since the truck was priced where it should have been according to all my research, the negotiating process took 10-15 minutes and focused solely on my trade in. The 8 hours round trip that I spent driving was well worth not having to negotiate for hours on end like I've experienced elsewhere. I appreciated the "small-town" feel of the dealership and that the negotiating didn't take place in a small back room, but rather right out in the open. Also, from what I saw (though I wasn't really looking for anything else as I knew exactly what I was looking for) they appear to have a selection comparable to a larger big city dealership. To top off the whole experience, I completely forgot to try to have them throw in a full tank of gas on the new truck (would have cost me $90), but when I got in the truck it was completely topped off. Ed had told me on the phone a week prior that they'd be sure to give me a full tank of gas to get me home and he didn't forget. Two weeks later, Ed even called me to ask how I was liking the new truck and make sure everything was still working well. Overall, this was the best car buying experience and I will definitely give them a chance to find me another vehicle when it comes time to trade in my wife's car. Dealing with Douglas Dodge (Ed in particular) was well worth the 4 hour drive for me.

I had such a great experience here. My family has gone here for cars and refers everyone. I came down from Chicago just to get my car here due to their reputation. The guy that helped me out was named Dave Lareau. He is very helpful and makes the process run smoothly. He isn't one of those typical pushy sales people. When you walk in you feel like you are a friend visiting and testing out cars. When I went to sign the paperwork everything was filled in and the guy was so nice. Everyone I met there was very friendly and made you feel at ease. I know buying a car is such a large investment and everyone there is trustworthy. If you are looking to buy a car I would go to Douglas Dodge in Clinton, IL. Ask for Dave and tell him Ashley sent you!

I have not ever had a glowing experience at a car dealership until this past weekend. Saw this vehicle online and was a great deal. Drove 6.5 hours on a whim without even checking to make sure the car was there. Thank goodness it was. Dave Lareau is friendly personable and not "the typical pushy car salesman". We had our two boys with us and they were just very accomodating. They let me walk out of there with my reasonable requests of some price drop and the interest rate I knew my credit deserved. The manager and Dave made our car buying experience the best EVER! Thank you for not trying to upsale us and really listening to our needs. I will tell you we will definitely be willing to make that 6.5 hour trip again in a few years when my husband upgrades his truck. They even filled up our tank halfway before pulling out and Dave stood outside to see us off. Best customer service EVER. Thank you Dave. We will be back.

The majority of people do not enjoy shopping for a new vehicle including my husband and I. We drove nearly two hours to find the vehicle we wanted and we are so glad that we did. Dave Lareau of Douglas Dodge made our shopping experience very pleasant and painless. He did a great job showing us exactly what we were looking for, nothing more and nothing less. He was honest, knowledable and not like your typical pushy salesman. The service was outstanding. We called ahead and he even had one of the vehicles we wanted to drive all ready for us. We found exactly what we were looking for and absolutely love our new van. We will definitely be back for our next purchase and highly recommend Douglas Dodge and Dave Lareau. Its the best car shopping experience you will ever have.

live a couple hours away so i called them first to see if car was still available and it was. told them i had financing in order and could come in to purchase vehicle within a couple days. offered them their asking price, if they could sell it for that total price out the door. i was advised they dont come down on price and there is no haggling because they list the best price upfront, and wouldnt offer me anything but full sticker price (which granted is their right) but if this is the case, this would be the first car dealership i've ever dealt with that doesnt try to make some kind of deal. they seem nice, but just be advised, the price they advertise is what you get, apparently that is the best they have to offer. its really too bad, i was ready to make a drive to buy a $20,000+ car for very little work on their part.

We bought a used vehicle from Dave Lareau at Douglas Dodge. Found the vehicle online. Called and talked and dealed with Dave. Made the 4 hour trip to see the vehicle. Looked as he had described over the phone. Dave was honest, friendly, and the service was great! All the staff was great. There was no selling pressure. Dave walked us to our new purchase and watched us pull out of the lot. Now that is service. Pricing was extremely fair!

WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DOUGLAS DODGE IN CLINTON ILLINOIS!!! MY HUSBAND AND I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MONTHS WHEN I RAN ACCROSS THIS FORD TAURUS X ONLINE. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HE AND AN OUTSTANDING SALES ASSOCIATE NAMED DAVE LAREAU BEGAN TO PUT THE WHEELS IN MOTION FOR A TEST DRIVE. WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TEST DRIVE AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE READY AND WAITING! DAVE ALREADY HAD ALOT OF THE PAPERWORK STARTED SO THE PROCESS WENT EFFORTLESSLY. EVERYONE WAS ACCOMIDATING, CURTIOUS AND POLITE. MY HUSBAND EVEN REQUESTED FOR THEM TO PUT THE VEHICLE UP ON THE HOIST TO SEE UNDER THE CAR AND THEY WERE VERY KIND TO DO SO. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL BUYING EXPERIENCE TO DOUGLAS DODGE IN CLINTON ILLINOIS AND THANK YOU DAVE LAREAU. ONE MORE THING: IF YOU SEE A VEHICLE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AT DOUGLAS DODGE, DON'T WAIT AROUND BECAUSE THEY ARE PRICED TO SELL AND THEY WONT BE AROUND LONG!!!:)

Douglas Dodge has the best dealership around. Tony Douglas the General Manager is one of the nicest and easiest guy to get along with. I would recomend this dealership to anyone. Dave lareau is a great salesman. I enjoyed talking to him everytime I went in there. I plan to buy more Dodge rams from Tony and Dave in the Future.

I live 120 miles from this dealership and I would tell anyone the trip is worth it. A great group of guys. My salesmen was Dave Lareau, 1st class guy, made my wife and I feel right at home. Our 2010 Ram 2500 was exactly as described at a price cheaper than I could find anywhere. After 2 weeks searching the internet all over the country we found a great deal close to home. When my wife is ready for a new car I know where I will look first. Great Job.

We drove from O'fallon,MO for a great deal on a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew. It was everything we wanted for this van and more! Dave was great to deal with and made the process easy. The dealership was a bright clean place and a courteous staff, it did not feel like a pressure cooker like most dealers do, they were awesome to deal with from reception to finance! Thanks Guys!!! We'll see you on the next one!

There was no pressure at this Dealer. I was just kicking arround the idea of buying a used vehicle and was tired of the dealers in decatur. So i found a couple of Trucks at Douglass in clintion. I called the dealer and got hooked up with a salesman and set up an apointment. Once I got there they put Me in a golf cart and we started looking. I saw some cool vehicles that i wasnt intent on buying but the salesman and i looked anyway. He didnt say hey you need this vechile he just stoped and admired it well as i did. Finally I found a Truck I wanted to test drive They gave me the keys and off I went. I returned and told the salesman I couldnt figure out how to work the 4wd, he jumped in the driver seat and told me to get in and he figured it out for me. I decided to get the truck and he even helped me out with the paperwork. The salesman even kept me updated by phone as the loan was being processed. If you want a no pressure buying experience from some good ole boys Try out Douglass Dodge in Clinton illinois. Even if you dont find the vehicle you want you can always stop by the lake and take in the scenery. The salesman even called me a week later and asked me how i liked the truck and sent me a thank you card. Dealers in Decatur dont do that

I had the best experience with Dave Lareau! He was a great person to talk to on the phone and in person!! We looked on the internet and found the vehicle we wanted and drove 4 hours to pick it up. He was very curtious and helpful! I enjoyed this dealership a lot no pushy people like back home! We are even going to come back in a couple of years to get my husband his pickup :)

From start to finish Dave was great to work with. Called him before heading over about a vehicle, when we got there it was already for a test drive! Easy to work with as he had a no hassle approach to selling his vehicle and no running back and forth to sales manager's and having different people try and talk with you. Within an hour we had our vehicle purchased and within 2 they had it washed, cleaned and ready to go home for us. Pleasant experience to buy from without all the big city "HASSLE", and pressure! Would recommend Dave to anyone looking for a good used or new vehicle..

They made buying a Dodge Ram very easy. Went to other dealerships before and they gave us a run around Douglas Dodge didn't. They told us what are payments would be and our interest. We will buy again from Dave our salesman.
