Bill Hood Chevrolet
Dealership Sales Review
Best car buying experience I've had, other than when I sold myself a car...lol Have purchased over 50 vehicles and was in the car/RV business 19 years. Sales applied no pressure and used car management showed great skill in there competence in trade valuation on my jeep Rubicon trade. Other local "non jeep " dealers were clueless on trade valuations. Farther south one particular Ford store even called me screaming at me on the phone offering less money for my trade and telling me why they could not understand why I wasn't buying from them. At that store we walked around thirty minutes and never even greated as well.We had to go inside and find a salesperson. I visited there store on three occasions and was a complete waste of my time! ....enough of that you get the point. When I arrived to Hood I was immediately greeted and was also introduced to a manager, he took time and guided my salesperson in the process of finding the right vehicle for my family. Here's what impressed me... 1) non pushy sales person "Joey Carbo" 2) all vehicles clean and presentable and orderly arranged 3) price beat everyone from Covington to Baton Rouge 4) trade valuation ( great compitancy and skill) 5) finance was really easy with great rates non pushy. I actually let my wife go back "alone" and do paperwork.... lol Sorry finance😜 6) vehicle I purchased was clean at delivery and full of gas 7) I was introduced to service and parts and new excactly where to go and who to see on my return visit for service to put on bedcover and all terrain tires which by the way were competitively priced with local shops . Here's another notable experience from 6-8 months earlier . ( This is in reference to Bill Hood Ford in Hammond) As I mentioned I spent 19 years in the business from everything from a Finance manager to a General Manager. Once our church needed an F150 to be used to pick up commodities and such to hand out. So I was asked to locate a truck , So I get on the phone with a guy I know in the car business still to link me up with some Ford managagers at different dealers throughout the area to get a really good price for the church . So long story short I go to two stores in Baton Rouge and one in Mandeville, that came highly recommended. After I was done I turned in a couple bids and they were like 8200 off sticker. Well the church secretary asked why didn't I check with Bill Hood? I said, because they're not gonna beat these deals hun.., lol Well about an hour later I get a call from that secretary and said, Hood just gave us 10,164 off... I liked to fell out . So I ate my humble pie and bought my next vehicle at Bill Hood . Lol Any rate Bill Hood has earned my business now and am convinced you can get a better deal here in Covington or Hammond than in Baton Rouge ! No joke! Sincerely , Craig and Beth Dunn Loranger La
