We went to a couple of dealers here in Knoxville to test drive the cars we were interested in. The service was okay, but they kept pressuring us to use their finance department, even though we told them upfront we were pre-approved through USAA's Car Buying Service.

We decided a late model Toyota Camry XSE or XLE was what we wanted. I searched the USAA True Car service online and contacted six USAA approved dealers in a 200 mile radius. I heard from all of them by email and phone in a reasonable amount of time. Sharon Ricketts contacted me by email immediately and then by phone shortly after. Shortly after we started our conversation, she conveyed her heartfelt appreciation for our family's service in the military. We talked about what I was looking for and when I had specific questions about features, got me in touch with Alfred Odister right away. Alfred answered all of my questions and was not at all pushy. He gave me his cell number and encouraged me to call or text if we had further questions or wanted to drive to Chattanooga to test drive the cars he had available. He assured me that he could handle our USAA transaction and never pressured us to consider their financing.

After a couple more calls and texts, we let Alfred know they had the car we wanted, for a great price on the lot. We let him know we were headed his way. Alfred was waiting in the parking lot, waving as we drove in! I arrived with all of my paperwork in hand and found there was an error with information on the website but they handled it professionally and quickly. They more than made up for the error.

We got to meet Sharon too. She was just as pleasant and kind in person as she was on the phone. I train Realtors to follow up on online business and Sharon did everything the way I teach my agents. She's a true asset!

The car was just what we wanted, we test drove it and and decided we wanted it. About an hour later, we drove off the lot with a full gas tank and a clean shiny 2015 Camry XSE. Alfred asked us to keep in touch and let him help with any questions about the car's technology features. Honestly, he did such an excellent job explaining everything, we were good driving off the lot. We have talked and texted about a couple of things and he's been very helpful.

I would most highly recommend both Alfred Odister and Capital Toyota. The service, care and customer service are top notch!
