“Whether I’m dropping my daughter off at school or traveling for work,
I need a car that’s reliable and versatile. I’m on the road a lot, driving
throughout New England on a regular basis.
When I was in the market for a car I wanted a dealership that would
be able to look at my needs and find me a car that would be able to
provide me with the comfort and reliability that I was looking for.
I was wary that the salespeople would be pretentious, but
was very impressed with how down-to-earth they were at
Mitchell and greatly appreciated the quality customer
service and the comfortable atmosphere
that they provided.”
