Customer Testimonials

Dear Mr. Poynter:
I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I appreciate the outstanding service I received when my Cadillac malfunctioned.  J.D. Roberts contacted me quickly and made all the necessary arrangements to pick up my automobile and to provide me with a vehicle in the interim.
Mr. Roberts contacted me the following day to let me know what the problem was and that it had been fixed.  He once again made arrangements to return my car and even took the time to have it washed and cleaned inside.  I can truly say that I was the recipient of “World Class Service” and I will be certain to share this very positive experience with family, friends and co-workers.
Thank you, and thank J.D. Roberts for this wonderful service.
Sincerely,

Loretta M. Burd

Dear George,
 
Thanks for all your help with me on purchasing a new vehicle.  As previously stated Poynters is a “different kind of car place” & Seymour is blessed to have a business like it.  It’s only as good as the owner and his employees. 
 
I’m always “trusting” you and Daryl back in the service department.  I Wish you the best on your change to sales.  Thank you for your patience and advice.  Stop by sometime and we’ll gab on the porch!
 
Regards,
Mary Elizabeth Keller

Thank you for not giving up finding a car for me.  I love the car and have put several miles on it already.  I put my trust in you and you came through for me.  It was a pleasure working with you.
 
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a great healthy 2010.
 
Thanks again,

Dear Bob,
 
This is a letter I should have written quite some time ago.  You see, Bob has Alzheimer’s, and life as we knew it is no longer the same.
But fortunately for me, having the friendship and support of the people of your business has been a great help.  We’ve been your customers for a log of years—due to you and the caliber of your employees.  Everyone at your agency has been very nice to me during these last several months since all responsibility for the upkeep of the vehicles has fallen to me.
 
But, Roger Graham & George Covey have gone out of their way to be sympathetic to our situation.  No matter how trivial some of my questions have been Roger is always very patient and helpful.  Also, their inquiries on Bob and passing along a “Hi” to him are appreciated.  Too many times in this life we fail to acknowledge kindnesses given, and I did not want that to happen in this case.
 
Sincerely,
Betty Combs

Dear George,
 
We are extremely happy with our purchase of a 2008 GMC Sierra truck.  You listened to our requests and answered our questions.  You advised us of some options to help us with our selections.  All-in-all the purchasing experience was pleasant and we are very pleased with the treatment you extended to us as customers.  We respected your judgement when you advised us regarding service and you continue to have our respect as a salesman.
 
We hope you have continued success at Poynter’s.  We will definitely return when we are considering another purchase.
 
Sincerely
Merrill & Joyce Salyers

Thanks for taking care of my problems with the Trailblazer.  I know I was probably becoming a pain on every little thing that was going wrong.  So a big thank you for putting up with me and fixing all of them.  I am glad you sold it to us.  I really love it.  You better stick around for a while because you’re the only one that listens to the problems and takes care of them.  You know that I know my vehicle.
 
Thanks again

Thanks so very much for all of your help during the purchase of my van.  You made the transaction so very easy and quick.  We took it to Gatlinburg over the Thanksgiving holiday and the gas mileage we got was excellent.  It does wonderful in the snow too.  Thanks again you are number 1 in my book.  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Ann,
 
 Just a note to let you know I am thrilled with my new car.  I’ve never had a red one before.  I thought at my age I’d better get one more flashy while I can still drive HA HA!  Thanks so much for the great deal.  I really missed getting to watch you @ Frank hassle!!  Maybe he will start to get a little easier in his old age.  Yea right!  Thought this card would give you a laugh today.  Have a great one!
 
Your Friend,
Kylia & Frank Mull

Dear Ann:
 
Thank you for your follow-up letters.  That means a great deal to me.  I apologize for this letter being so late, but better late than never.  For some reason we have been very busy and I tend to forget what needs to be done!
 
We have had a lot of compliments on Mike’s new truck.  He had the Rhino liner installed right away and it looks great.  He is still going to add some other things to dress it up, but hasn’t decided what at this time.
 
We have been pleased with the truck and with you as a salesperson.  We won’t hesitate to refer any of our friends or family to you in the future.
 
Thanks again!
Mike and Marilyn Koester

Bob,
 
I want you to know how continually impressed I am with Ann Akemon.  She is completely customer service-oriented, whether it’s getting pricing info, tracking down inventory or arranging for a loaner.  I guess the fact Ann had placed $120k of Cadillac iron in my garage this year and the local guy $0 says it all.  She is a real asset to your business.

Mr Poynter,
 
My wife, Venny, and I purchased a 2003 Escalade ESV from Ann Akemon today.  She was most helpful as a straight shooter throughout, which we truly appreciate.  You should know I made the rounds of Caddy dealers from Indy on South and no one came remotely close.  We’re looking forward to our Cadillac ownership experience.
 
Regards,
Mickey Kim

Dear Ann:
 
Thank you so much for your help last Saturday in getting my car set-up for service and arranging a rental car.  Everyone at your dealership was very accommodating and helpful.  If I can ever repay the favor, please let me know.
 
Very truly yours,
Gregory A. Ostendorf

Dear Bob:
 
I purchased a company car from your agency in July, 2002.  My loyalty had been with another Seymour dealership for eight years and four automobiles.
 
The consensus of your customers around the area was that of a professionally run company and was the primary reason to shop your facility.  Count me as one of your satisfied customers for the following reasons:
 
1.        Received a fair deal without a hassle thanks to Bob Allman and J.B. Hackman after locating a low-mileage Bonneville SSEI on the internet.
2.       Repairs and service have exceeded expectations and with your loaner care program, experienced a minimum inconvenience thanks to Deryl and George.
 
The 2004 Grand Prix GTP Sport sedan has already gotten under my skin.  No doubt I’ll be contacting J.B. mid 2004 for a low mileage year old edition.
 
Sincerely
 
Don Smith

Dear J.B.
 
  We want to thank you for the assistance you gave during our last purchase.  Our first meeting was in 2001 when we drove into the Poynter Dealership lot.  You met us and ended up selling us a truck  We were impressed with the way you tried to find the best deal.
  In 2005 we returned to inquire of you what kind of offer could get on Cadillac CT with the options we wanted.  You located the vehicle and made us a good offer.  We are happy with both vehicles and expect to be as happy with the latest purchase.
 
Sincerely,
Merrill and Joyce Salyers

Mr Poynter,
 
  Dave and I want to thank you for an outstanding experience when we purchased our 2007 GMC Acadia.  Your dealership went out of its way to make this a positive and wonderful experience.  J.B. Hackman, Steve Jackson, and Tim Myers went above the call of duty to make us feel important and special.  We will continue to recommend your services to our family and friends.  Thank you very much.

Thanks Bob Poynter you have a great team!  It’s so rare that a person is totally satisfied with a deal that takes your cash!  J.B. Hackman and George Covey of Poynter Chevrolet have taken my cash for several different trucks I have purchased from them.  I would like to thank them and Poynter’s staff for always taking care of my needs and never in 30 years of deals leaving me unhappy or dissatisfied.
 
THANK YOU

Dear J.B.
 
I have had the 2002 Cadillac for over a month now and this is just a note to let you know that we are very happy with the car.  I felt most fortunate to find a car like I had been looking for with that kind of mileage on it.
 
The 1995 Cadillac that my son took had 41k per year.  When my son took it…it had 90k on it.  If we do the same with this one, when we have averaged 10k miles per year and it has the same mileage that the one my son got I will be too old to drive.  At that time I would be 83 and my wife would be 84.  Of course that is if we live that long.  I think people over 80 should not be on the road.
 
I guess this is my way of telling you that this will probably be the last big car I will own.  If I continue to work as now I might need to replace the 2000 GMC Jimmy however the one I have only has 50k on it.
 
Right after I got home with the 2002 Cadillac I noticed a thump in the back right rear.  It was a bad shock and Curry took care of it under the warranty.
 
Just wanted to let you know we are happy customers and enjoyed doing business with you.
 
Kindest regards
Don & Marjorie Wagner

J.B,
 
Thanks for calling when you got the Chevy Tahoe.  I have never bought a used vehicle that was closer to what I wanted.  Had I been able to order a used car from the factory this is exactly what I would have bought.  You were also able to better every deal I had been working on down here.  It was well worth driving the 200 miles to Seymour.
 
Thanks again,
Rob Toerne

Dear Bob,
  Today I completed a vehicle purchase with your dealership, and felt that I should share some feedback on the quality of service I received.  I do not normally go to the extent of commending people for doing what they are compensated to do, however I feel this to be an exception.
  I came to your store based on my preference for GM products, and excellent past transactions and service.  I might mention also that I am a former GM salesperson as well.  I was not disappointed!  I found a better deal than I had hoped for, and closed in record time for a vehicle purchase, due in part to the following factors.
  First, your facility is always clean, bright and well organized, no less than three different people offered me assistance in the first five minutes.  After ten minutes, I had explained my wants and needs to Mr. J.B. Hackman, who within minutes had a list of options and available units for me to check out.  Due to his product knowledge, and attentive attitude I did not have to go into any great depth as to what I wanted.  He answered every question, and was up front with me through the whole transaction.  If he were an employee of mine, I would give him the highest marks for his product knowledge, engaging personality, and service to customers.
  Working with Mr. Dewey Allman, Mr. Hackman offered me an “overly” fair deal on my trade in towards my new vehicle purchase, which was a pleasant surprise.  Mr. Allman accepted my stated condition of my trade in and treated me in a highly professional manner as well.  These factors couples with the package Mr. Hackman worked out and offered me closed the deal.  When it came to the “dotted line”, the customer care and professionalism continued with Mr. J.D.Roberts.  The paper work, financing details, (and the best interest rate I could hope for) were reduced to a minimum of hassle and concern.  Even Mr. George Covey from the service department extended his compliments and was eager to help in the future with may maintenance issues if need be. 
  In these times of economic down turns, and uncertain world conditions, many have questioned what America is all about.  I would say to those that do, conduct business at your dealership.  Here they would find the best qualities of Americans doing a great job in a very aggressive market.  Honesty, courtesy, and professionalism, are the key words.  Superior service is a highly coveted benchmark, and in my experience you have attained it.  You may be assured I will most highly recommend your dealership to my friends.
  Please convey my appreciation to your entire organization on making this purchase a most pleasant and rewarding transaction.  You and your staff should take a great deal of pride in the high quality of service, you provide to our community.  Thank you!

  Too often owners only hear from customers when their employees fail to meet expectations…J.B. was just the opposite.  He was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with.  You’ve got a lot of good people down there.
 
All the best,
  John

Hello, Bob

I wanted to share some details of our recent Acadia purchase.  I'm sure that you're well aware of some of the overall details of the deal, but I'd like to let you know how it was from our perspective.  We had several small warranty concerns come up the first weekend, and were not happy with the vehicle overall by Monday morning, when I called Terry Darlage.  It appeared that we were having several electrical problems.  He quickly went to work and had our trade in vehicle as our loaner, per our request, when I dropped the Acadia off.  We reviewed the list of concerns, and found out that one of our concerns was really our misunderstanding of the vehicle controls.  Later that day, he called to let us know that all of our concerns had been addressed, and we could come pick it up.  I was sad to find out that one of the concerns was caused by a Valeo Sylvania rear lamp assembly.  As soon as we left the lot, the issue caused by the lamp happened again.  I went right back, and caught Terry on the lot.  I left the vehicle running so that he could see what was happening.  We stepped inside while Terry went to talk to service, and JB stopped to talk to us.  He assured us that all of these concerns would be addressed and he wanted us to be happy.  We were then introduced to Trent, who met us at the car out in the parking lot.  He also assured us that they were going to take care of us.  The next day I found out that both rear lamps supplied by Valeo Sylvania had been bad.  How embarrassing!  I later learned from our Warranty Engineer that it was a known issue that GM was aware of and was in the process of being resolved.  I guess that was basically the long version of what happened after we bought our Acadia.  Since this was a completely satisfying response from different departments in your dealership working as a team to solve a customer's concerns, I wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with their response!  This was the exact opposite feeling that we had when we had issues with our new Envoy that we bought in 02.  I was impressed that a salesman was able to relay our concerns to both the sales and service managers, and both came to me to try and resolve our concerns.  I think this speaks highly of all who were involved, and I wanted you to know that!

Thanks,
Darin Obermeyer

I had a hit in a parking lot.  I chose Poynters to repair my car.  When I took the car in last Monday (8/31) I told them I would really like to have the car back on Friday because I would be going to a soccer tournament and would have a car full.  They had it done!!!!  My granddaughter was very happy because she could not understand how four people and all of our "stuff" would fit in that four door car.  It didn't have a DVD player so where would she plug in her DVD player.  I told her to bring CD's because this car didn't have XM radio.  Was she glad to have grandma's Acadia back and it was clean!

Please tell the guys in the body shop how satisfied we were with their service.

To:    Bob Poynter

From: Rich Guy

Poynter GM dealership has been a safety training customer of ours for several years and this year I became your customer.  I purchased a new 2010 Chevy Impala from your dealership.  I have purchased more than 30 cars in my time and have never been treated as well as your staff took care of me.  Your sales staff were professional in every aspect of the business.  The way they found the car I wanted, the way it was prepared for me and gave me what I felt was a fair deal for both the dealership and myself.  Your dealership is successful and the quality of your people working for you will keep it that way.  I just thought you should know.  The way that they handled my deal, I would be happy to do business with your dealership again.

Sincerely,

Rich
