I dealt directly with Chris Danzell and had an awesome experience. That's a weird thing to write about buying a car, I know.

I had 8 different places competing for my business. Clear Lake was actually the second-to-lowest bidder. Their price was low enough to make a few others drop out of the running, and the true low price bidder had tried to pull some shenanigans on me, telling me Clear Lake was being dishonest. After doing some fact checking, I discovered that Chris and the team had been ONE HUNDRED PERCENT on the level, honest, and forthright. This made me drive right by the "true" low bidder, and make the out-of-the-way trip to Clear Lake to make the deal.

At the dealership, everything was straight forward. They only casually mentioned the extended warranty and other add-ons - no hard sell. And Chris took about 10 minutes post-sale to sit in the car with me and go through every single detail about the navigation, stereo, and other functions. (I'm a geek, so learning about all the alerts and settings - ones I didn't know about - was awesome).

He then followed up with a couple emails post-sale, asking me if I had a good experience, etc. No form letters or cheesy sales tactics. I'm pretty sure most people rate the car buying experience somewhere down near the level of public speaking, falling from a cliff, or having a tooth pulled. I was in and out of Clear Lake in about an hour, and the experience couldn't have been better.
