Need to replace DH's vehicle. Must be used. Which dealers in the DFW metroplex are known for their service and general reliability?

I've heard of Sewell -- where else can we look?

BTW - cost is not the only factor -- reliability/trust are more important. Will not go the individual seller route.

Thanks!

Classic Chevrolet, any Park Place or Sewell, James Woods in Denton.

I work in the car business, tell me what you are looking for and I can tell you where to go.

For starters, avoid any Van Tuyl dealership...

I'm at Huffines - you're my competitor so I must disagree.

Edit: I misread that - I totally agree!!

Reputable dealership - oxymoron of the century.

Honestly though, I bought my last car at Eckert...8 years ago. Still driving it, too. 115k and counting. They're decent folks.

Don't even get me started on Carmax.

They're basically the Maaco of the automotive industry.

Park Place & Sewell are two of the finest dealerships in the state & throughout the US.

I know I will get "of course you will say so because you work there" kind of comments, but I wouldn't work at a car dealership if I didn't feel it was a reputable place and I have been with this dealership since it's inception in July of 2004.

With that said, I highly recommend McDavid Honda in Frisco. If you are interested in a Honda, please send me a DM, I am in internet sales.

Will add an amen on the advice to stay away from Van Tuyl dealerships. Very pushy sales tactics. McDavid is part of Asbury Automotive group.

Bought my first & second Honda's from David McDavid of Irving (their first dealership) back in 98 then again in 2000. David McDavid is usually rated one of the best Honda dealerships in Texas year after year & awarded the Presidents Award given out by American Honda for top performing dealerships in the nation.
