5/5 Kyle M. 1 year ago on Google
This
review
started
as
a
one
star
review
(more
on
that
below)
but
I
am
so
happy
that
the
team
at
Norm
Reeves
was
able
to
turn
our
experience
around
when
we
removed
the
one
point-of-contention.
Tuesday,
9/13,
Nguyen
from
Norm
Reeves
called
me
to
let
me
know
they
had
some
hybrid
Accords
in
stock
and
to
see
if
I
wanted
to
come
down
and
visit.
I
was
super
impressed
as
I
reached
out
months
ago
to
let
them
know
I
was
interested
in
a
hybrid
and
was
not
expecting
to
hear
anything.
Nguyen
was
ready
and
made
an
appointment
for
7:15
p.m.
that
day.
I
left
my
job
in
Culver
City
early
in
order
to
make
the
appointment
in
HB
and
had
a
great
experience
with
Nguyen;
he
was
kind,
patient,
and
knowledgeable.
At
one
point
in
the
evening,
my
husband
mentioned
that
I
was
also
interested
in
a
CR-V
and
Nguyen
let
me
know
they
had
a
hybrid
version
in
stock!
I
was
so
excited
and
so
grateful
that
he
was
going
to
let
me
test
drive
it
so
close
to
closing.
After
test
driving,
Nguyen
advised
the
figures
would
not
be
too
different
between
the
Accord
and
CR-V
so
we
had
him
compare.
The
CR-V
pricing
on
paper
met
what
we
were
looking
for
in
a
60-month
loan
so
we
told
him
we
were
"good
to
go"
and
had
him
run
my
credit
(he
also
negotiated
buying
my
old
car
at
a
very
fair
price)…and
this
is
where
things
turned
for
the
worse
and
Ziggy
got
involved...
After
running
figures
with
his
manager,
Ziggy,
multiple
times,
Nguyen
came
back
out
after
running
our
credit
and
looked
defeated.
He
eventually
told
us
that
he
and
his
manager
missed
the
pricing
on
the
car
and
they
had
accidentally
given
me
the
Accord
price
on
all
of
the
CR-V
paperwork.
Naturally
I
was
upset,
but
not
so
much
with
Nguyen
as
I
could
tell
he
felt
so
bad
about
what
was
happening.
I
told
Nguyen
that
I
wished
Ziggy
would've
come
out
and
spoken
with
us
as
he
was
the
one
reviewing
and
approving
the
figures
and
he
should've
been
there
to
support
his
employee
during
this
difficult
conversation.
Well
you
know
what
they
say,
"be
careful
what
you
wish
for."
When
Ziggy
finally
came
out
and
spoke
with
us
(after
we
had
asked
him
to
and
had
been
there
for
almost
3
hours)
he
was
rude,
combative,
and
inflexible.
He
was
not
willing
to
work
with
us
at
all.
As
a
customer
I
told
him
calmly
that
the
whole
thing
felt
like
a
"bait-and-switch"
because
I
agreed
to
the
price
they
had
given
me
for
the
CR-V
(in
writing)
and
came
back
and
told
me
the
price
I
was
given
was
wrong
and
that
they
are
"working
really
fast
in
the
back
and
missed
the
wrong
price,
but
no
one
should
be
blamed
for
that."
He
was
basically
blaming
my
husband
and
I
for
not
knowing
the
correct
price
and
told
us
that
if
we
felt
that
was
wrong
then
he
would
rather
not
do
the
transaction
with
us.
He
didn't
even
want
to
negotiate
and
made
us
feel
less-than.
If
he
had
just
worked
with
us
and
taken
some
accountability,
we
probably
would've
done
a
longer-term
loan
and
taken
the
car.
I
am
not
sure
if
it
is
because
it
was
late,
but
his
attitude
was
something
that
was
a
shocking
disappointment.
We
left
that
night
in
tears
and
that
is
why
this
would
have
been
a
one-star
review
had
it
not
been
for
the
amazing
recovery
of
the
other
staff
members
at
Norm
Reeves.
Thankfully,
after
processing
the
emotions
of
the
experience,
I
called
the
next
day
(9/14)
just
to
give
some
feedback
and
was
lucky
enough
to
get
Connie
in
my
corner.
I
told
her
that
I
felt
bad
that
Nguyen
had
worked
so
hard
(calling
me,
staying
late,
showing
me
multiple
cars,
etc.)
that
he
lost
the
deal
thanks
to
HIS
manager;
it
should
be
the
manager
closing
the
deal.
Connie
was
so
empathetic
and
felt
so
bad
we
left
the
dealership
feeling
the
way
we
did.
She
wanted
to
make
it
right
and
I
can
confidently
say
that
she
put
her
money
where
the
mouth
is.
Connie
matched
a
better
deal
from
another
dealer,
allowed
me
to
put
a
deposit
down
on
the
car
so
I
could
come
after
work,
and
paired
me
with
the
best
team
ever
(Bashar
and
John).
We
left
so
happy
with
the
fun
experience
with
Bashar
and
John
and
cannot
wait
to
work
with
them
and
Connie
again.
We
love
our
new
car
and
give
a
5/5
without
Ziggy.
