I admit it; I am suspicious of car dealerships. I am even more suspicious of car *salespeople*. Did I mention I have only a cursory knowledge of internal combustion engines? Therefore, I must add to my list of suspicious people the car mechanic. Oh yes, one more thing; I am a female car buyer, and there's a fair amount of data that we pay more for cars than men (see comment about internal combustion engines).

This was the "baggage" I walked in with when I went to Wilsonville Audi.

I loved the soft sell approach. No pressure-ever. I took 6 months to make a decision, and Josh was patient with me every, single, time we talked.

When I finally signed, I had daggers for eyes when I sat with Jeff in finance. He was professional and supplied me with data and knowledge. Nothing more. Again, soft sell all around. He didn't even mind the daggers.

When I asked for help about maintenance schedules, Dee was my service consultant. What? A woman mechanic? How is this possible? She explained things to me and I immediately felt at ease. ***Word to dealerships*** Hire more women in the service department. When Dee explained things, she wasn't condescending.

Finally, Nick was the technician who gave my car her first check-up. She passed with flying colors. Nick is my new best friend because he finished in record time.

I'd like to say something really nasty about this dealership to make this review seem more believable. I'll think of something........just give it time.....
