Question 1

What do our customers say about Long of Athens?

Accepted Answer

100 Percent satisfied with our experience at Long!! This dealership has our business for life! Jason Odom is our salesman and Kelly Mayhew was our finance genius! They both made me feel comfortable the entire process. I work full time and live in Alabama and that didn't stop us from getting the best service and deal for us!! Jason started by a phone call asking what my needs were in my next vehicle and sent me website links via text that I could click and view! When my husband and I narrowed down the one we liked. He even sent text videos showing me the car like I was there!!! It was awesome to hear the benefits of the car and felt like I was there looking at it! I was super nervous about financing because I've had bumps in the road over the last couple of years while my husband was recovering from a motorcycle accident but that didn't stop Kelly!! I filled out a quick finance application on their website and within minutes Kelly was on it! They have over 40 lenders and she was able to find the best one for me with a payment that fit our needs!! The whole process took them less than an hour!! (It took me more time to choose between awesome inventory!) I can't thank Jason and Kelly enough for the extraordinary customer service and quality product! Matter of fact, we already took it on a road trip and it's amazing!! Loved everything about my experience!! Thanks again Long!!! Oh!! And I almost forgot to mention, Jason came to us on his OFF day to help me with my work hours!!
