The experience was relatively painless as far as purchasing the vehicle but I could tell they were about to loose their cool because I wasn’t all in. Professional people though but your typical HYPR and pressure.

The amazing part of my search and eventual purchase of a Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 with the 'must haves' I wanted, was that the the Car Pro dealer closest to me, Covert CDJR in Austin, was the only dealer that had one spec'd out the way I wanted! I contacted them through the Car Pro website, and very shortly I received a call. The truck I wanted was in transit and would arrive after the end of the current month, so we really couldn't talk turkey until we found out what the next month's incentives would be. They called me as soon as it came in, and we started working on a deal. Ended up working with Bernardo Vasquez on the final details. Did everything over the phone, as Covert CDJR is 80 miles from me. They got me a fair price on the new truck and gave me a very competitive valuation for my trade. Got to the dealership mid-morning on a Tuesday, and they had everything ready to go. Was really impressed with how nice this CDJR dealership was. Everyone I encountered while there was extremely friendly, courteous, professional, and seemed laser focused on taking good care of each customer. All in all just a great vehicle buying experience.

Mike Kozlowski, was extremely helpful and made the entire process stress free. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and able to address any questions I had promptly. Mike was also able to get me a much better price after shopping around throughout the state and even out of state. I highly recommend Cover CDJR in Austin TX.

I had contact with two different people by phone calls. They were both very pleasant. Unfortunately, they did not have a Cherokee Trailhawk with the equipment that we wanted.

After another dealership in Austin tried to sneak an extra $2000 onto my sales price, I gave Covert a try. Jeff Thomas was super honest, and they were able to upgrade me to a Ram 3500 for LESS than the other dealerships Ram 2500 price!

Dwight went above and beyond for me. He made it possible for me to get the vehicle I wanted. The manager of the used department was very disappointing. He seemed rude to Dwight and seemed like he could care less about the sale of the vehicle.

Ms. Velasquez,<br><br>Thank you very much for purchasing your new vehicle from our dealership and your kind words about Dwight! Your review concerned me regarding our Pre-Owned Manager so I got both gentlemen together to discuss the situation as I know our management team cares deeply about our customers and our team. Both Dwight and the Pre-Owned Manager said the interaction was their normal light-hearted banter and ridicule, both were working hard to make the sale happen, howe...

your recommended guy did not contact us. Scott did. I wanted to know if it was possible to dealer trade under current conditions. He said possibly and i gave him the specs of a Wrangler we had built on Jeep web site. He kept coming back with several that were kind of close but not close enough. Also, he would never give me a straight answer on whether they added to MSRP. I aint doin that - Not a bid deal on our end, but we had found what we wanted at River Oaks Jeep in houston and that was the reason for the dealer trade question. Since i work for Ford my wife is now looking at Explorer Timberline.

Mike Koslowski, the other sales associate listed for this dealership, on CarProUSA, was extremely helpful and very friendly. Mike got me the best deal after I shopped around for my new Jeep; including almost purchasing one out of state. I would highly recommend Mike and Covert CDJR in Austin TX. Mike made the process very easy and there was absolutely no stress involved. He was very responsive and was able to answer any questions I had, promptly.

Jeff is doing a great job helping us shop for a new car. Samantha in service is doing her best but our car, a 2015 Durango has been in the Covert service shop over two weeks. We went in this past Friday after the second round of repairs $2100 only to drive the car a couple of miles when the service engine light came back on so it's back in their shop. I am about to lose faith in getting my car repaired. I have asked Jeff to please get a very sharp pencil out and give me the best possible trade deal we can so that my wife and I can once again have dependable transportation.

Excellent experience. I found that using Car Pro makes for an easy buying experience. Chuck was friendly and easy going and Rusty made the transaction paperwork fast and easy. We drove from San Antonio to buy this Wrangler from a Car Pro dealer. I would definitely do it again, and recommend Car Pro/Covert to anyone who is interested in looking at or buying a new Jeep. This was our second Car Pro experience in 2 days, my wife bought a Lincoln Navigator the day before.
