I am a very satisfied return customer. The staff I work with always makes sure I receive the best service every time I come to DePaula. I recently purchased a new Malibu from my favorite salesman, JohnHenry, and the transaction went very smoothly. He helped me with a previous purchase, and I think he’s top-notch. The DePaula team is always professional, courteous and always makes my wife and I feel valued as customers.

Mike was great, very helpful and got me a vehicle when I absolutely needed it. Very appreciative. He was very fast with processing everything and putting things in motion so I could pick it up in a few days (happened over the weekend). I’m a repeating customer and I’m excited to be back at depaula

I'll say they were great to deal with.(Nick)salesman was very helpful. Above and beyond best experience yet at a dealership. Unfortunate part was the truck I wanted wasn't shipped due to chip shortages. Surprise to me! but one showed up and wasn't spoken for yet and Nick called to see if I wanted that one or wait weeks to months for the other one to show. a little more $ (leather), but everything else same as other one. Plus they don't mark up msrp, actually got $2250.00 off. Great experience overall.

Matt walked me through the leasing process and made it both easy and exciting. I love my Malibu and the experience I had at DePaula. I felt comfortable and Matt was super knowledgeable and friendly. He worked hard to make sure I got everything I wanted price and feature wise. He even dropped the car off to my job so I didn’t have to take a day off work!! Great guy to work with.

Naz, my salesman was fantastic. An absolute pleasure to work with. He made the entire process easy and pain free. Lastly, their "technology specialist" was wonderful. She made the 'getting to know your car' part of the experience really fun. Overall awesome experience and highly recommend!

My visit to DePaula was very positive. The salesman (Chris) was very knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in and the availability of that vehicle as well as alternative models. We were able to find a truck that more than fit my needs and come to agreement on a fair price. The paperwork required to close the deal went very smoothly and the overview of the truck before I departed was very helpful. All in all it was an excellent experience and I would recommend this salesman and dealership to anyone having similar needs,

I just drove home my new Chevy all electric Bolt. I am very happy with it. All the people I worked with at DePaula were helpul and responsive. They were not as up to date about particulars for the all electric car as I had hoped. But that was mainly because Covid and the battery recall has stalled recent sales of the Bolt. My salesman Matt responded to calls even when he wasn t officially working.

I found everyone at DePaula to be amazing. I started at the Mazda center with Jeff Jenkins and we found a car that was best suited for me but it was on the Chevy lot so Mr. Jeff personally walked me over to Chevy where Mike Medieros took over and helped me through the process. I was also helped by Zach Anadio, Eric Bauer and Paolo Albanese. I want to thank you all for making this process so easy for me.

March 19, 2023

Purchased 2023 Trailblazer. Sheep herding at its finest. I went to DePaula as they were the biggest Chevrolet dealership in my area. There is no personal connection, there is no feeling like they care for your business. The automobile market is absurd right now and this company takes full advantage of it. They know another person will be right behind you to purchase the vehicle if you don t. If i wasn t in a situation where my life wasn t being turned upside down due to a tragic circumstance, these guys would have never gotten my business.

She heard me and boom my dream ride was in front of me and I didnt even know it or expect it! They went above and beyond to make sure I didnt go to far off my budget and really I had a not so overwhelming experience. The only overwhelming great part was how great your staff was with trying to keep my son busy with his chatter while we closed our deal! Amazing group of people! Thank you!

I was asked to come in for possibly doing an early trade in on my lease. Within the first 5 minutes of arriving I was told there were no Traverses available. So tell me why did someone call me to make an appointment to come in? Did they think I would turn my car in early and not purchase another vehicle? Waste of my time. I have been doing business with them for 30 years. You would think they would have given me more respect than that.

This was my first stop in my car shopping experience. Talk about the perfect salesman, Naz was fantastic. No pressure, showed me what I asked for. Explained all the other options for vehicles. No sales pitch, even recommended what other types of vehicles to compare through the classes with each other. After driving 7 other cars, and getting a decent offer from another location, Naz beat it. The pick up of the vehicle was excellent, they really walk you through everything and make sure you are 100% satisfied before you leave. Jackie walked me through all the bells and whistles of the car. Beware of her jokes, they come non stop but keep the mod light. Tyler explained all the financing and answered all my questions reg as regarding that as well. 100% recommend this dealership and look forward to a long relationship here.

Depaula called me to bring my truck in early, before the lease was up. They did not have a vehicle comparable to mine and didnt seem to want to find one. It was a total waste of my time and the trip.

I like the Covid 19 protocols when you check in. Steering wheel cover, floor mats. Relatively quick service for the times were living in. Crystal Blackman is very courteous and helpful. Didnt like the waiting room nothing is available!! Couldnt they at least provide bottled water, single serving coffee and or basic wrapped snacks or pastry?? Its a long walk in the cold to get coffee in any direction. Other dealerships provide this!! Why not Depaula Ford!?! Also no vehicles in the show room?? Others have them??
