From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing salesperson, Mike Aziz. Mike was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. He answered e... More

Great car buying experience. Our sales guy Jerry was very helpful and knowledgable on the Porsche we purchased from Phillips. The car needed some minor work shortly after taking delivery. Jerry and the Phillips teams jumped on getting it taken care of. I can highly recommend Phillips Auto.

Just an amazing car buying experience! From initial inquiry till my car was loaded on a transport to ship to Texas, all aspects of this transaction were flawless. Malcolm and Michael were responsive, professional and very knowledgeable, both on the car and helping get it shipped 1,500 miles across the country. I totally trust and highly recommend Phillips Auto based on this great experience.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves one. From the moment I received a phone call in response to an inquiry, I could immediately feel that this guy operates differently than most. Trevor was welcoming, honest, and genuinely focused on helping people rather than just making a sale. That alone already set them apart. Trevor was the standout of the entire experience. He is one of those rare people you meet who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also ge... More

I had a very speedy transaction done by Trevor Phillips at this dealership. He was very patient and flexible in the road bumps that came up in getting my car to them. Trevor was very kind and professional in our transaction. Trevor used the Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer evaluation of my car as the price offer which was very fair and transparent. I recommend Trevor for those looking to sell their car quickly and for a fair price.
