Subject: Purchasing a new vehicle.

Message:
I recently was out looking to purchase a new vehicle up here in Fort McMurray. I found a jeep that I thought would suit me but decided to look around for anything that could offer a better deal. I contacted a few dealerships in Edmonton and I have to say, I’m happy Sherwood Dodge contacted me. Firstly, getting a reply so quick was awesome and secondly, the help was amazing. Brad McDonald helped me through this whole process which alot of people would agree is stressful. He worked around my schedule, contacted me personally and was very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. I could contact him anytime and always reach him or he would get right back to me even if he wasn’t in the office. Holy shit, talk about customer service. (Excuse the language) He was so great that the next time I stop down in Edmonton I’ll have to visit the dealership to see him. Rebekah was also very friendly and helped the financing to the point where even I had no questions because everything was clearly laid out. Not to mention Bob, he delivered the car and I would have to say gave Brad a run for his money for how friendly he was. I am now a firm believer in stem cell research so we can clone a few more of these people to make it this good of an experience for everybody. Sorry this ran on so long!

PS. Love the jeep

Subject: 2012 Dodge Ram Recently Purchased.

Hi Scott,

I just wanted to give praise to one of your car salesman at your Sherwood Park Dodge Dealership. I went into your dealership only looking to test drive a vehicle, as I have a friend in Calgary who works at another dealership and he was going to get me a “steal of a deal”. I dealt with Eddie Yehia and I told him I wanted to test drive a 2012 SXT Crew Cab Dodge Ram 1500, with very specific options in it. Really, all I was doing was making sure it was the right vehicle to purchase from my friend in Calgary.

My wife and I could tell it was a busy day and we did not expect to get help right away as this was one of about ten dealerships that we had been to that weekend. In know more than five minutes Eddie had pulled up the exact model that my friend was going to sell me, with the options that I had requested. Eddie seemed a bit shocked that I knew exactly what I was looking for, I think he thought that I had either done my research or that I was looking to purchase somewhere else and he asked us just that. I was honest with him and explained my story. Eddie passed me the keys to the truck and said take it for a test drive and if you will let me crunch some numbers, would you be willing to keep your business in the Edmonton area. I said absolutely.

I took it for a test drive with my wife and my 6 month old daughter; I found the crew cab to be too small for my family, I did however really enjoy how the truck drove. I brought the truck back and gave Eddie all my contact information, Eddie said to me “it is a busy day can I call you with some numbers tomorrow” and that was fine by me.

I spoke with the Eddie the following day and we went over the truck that and some numbers. With us calling each other back and forth for a few hours. Eddie was able to absolutely destroy the price that my friend from Calgary had quoted me on the SXT crew cab. Not only did Eddie destroy those numbers, he was able to get me into a SLT plus with the Quad cab so that there was enough room for my growing family. Not to mention all the options that I requested!! Eddie was absolutely fabulous, after getting to know Eddie I found that him and I had a lot in common, his cousin is actually a fellow employee at the company I work at. Eddie treated my family great, my wife and I still rave about him and your dealership to all of our friends and Family.

The day I came in to pick up the truck I ended up staying there for nearly 3hrs just talking with Eddie. I have a tone of respect for him and your dealership. I will most certainly be letting people know about the great service I received and the unbeatable price that I was given! People that I have told this story to are now thinking that when the time is right they will be coming in to see Eddie!!

Eddie is a great salesman and I can see why he is working at your dealership!

THANKS AGAIN EDDIE, I LOVE THE TRUCK!!

Subject: Thanks!

Good Morning; I just wanted to extend a big Thanks! I purchased a 2008 Jeep Oct 29th and i had great service….above and beyond. Shane Hughes led me through the process. I had been out shopping in Edmonton the previous day and had actually ran out of dealerships due to the aggressive nature of some sales Reps. He gave me a sense of ease and trustworthiness immediately. Time was a big issue as I live in BC and was leaving the next day. When I arrived at noon the next day the jeep was ready to go as promised. He also helped me hook up a trailer and sort the signal lights out! . Then 2 weeks ago I received the Emergency road side kit in the mail. Thanks so much for making my experience an easy one!

Sincerely,

To whom this may concern;

My husband and I were in there a week ago and purchased a truck from you guys. I would just like too express how fantastic the service was. we have been looking for a truck for quite sometime and haven’t been able to find the right one. Other dealerships were not helpful and did not make us feel welcome. It could be because we are young and they thought we were a waste of time. But Kevin K was unreal. He was straight forward, honest and great to deal with. His customer service was above and beyond. I have worked in the retail business for 8 years now and you do not find people that are like that. There are very few. So I just wanted to let management know how exceptional our experience there was. I hope that he gets acknowledged for this. Thank you guys so much for everything! the atmosphere was so inviting. Our experience was great !

Thanks a lot Kevin!

Hi Dear:)

I wrote on Brad’s blog but I also wanted to write you personally. I cant express how happy I am to have found you guys and have the pleasure of dealing with you! Your email to me last week, when I was at another dealer, could not have come at a better time and I am so thankful that all of Sherwood Park Dodge was so willing to help me and make me feel like I had people actually on my side! Not once did I feel uncomfortable or pressured or feel anything other than a valued costumer and someone you guys cared about. I was continually encouraged to take my time and find a vehicle that i was happy with. I have been telling people my experience the past two weeks and will continue to recommend Sherwood Park Dodge to everyone! I am actually a bit sad not to have to go there as much anymore because I bought my jeep lol. Walking into the doors there was always a pleasant experience-you never know what laughs were going to happen!

Please forward this email to all the upper management possible because I would really like them to know they have a one of a kind place with amazing staff! I hope everyone looking for a vehicle goes there and I will keep telling everyone my experience. Say hi to your puppy for me lol and if you ever need animal help I will always be there!

Scott,

At 52 years of age I have never been sufficiently impressed to warrant doing this before, but I just wanted to take a minute to comment on the excellent quality of service that my wife and I have received from your staff in the service department.

Over the years we had purchased 4 new vehicles from Crosstown from Dale Sauer, (who is now with SP Dodge). I purchased my Dodge truck prior to Sherwood Park Dodge’s opening.My wife purchased her Jeep Cherokee from Crosstown (post SP dodge opening) because we had such an excellent experience with Dale.

Since the opening of SP Dodge in our community,and because of convenience we decided to have had all our service done with yourselves. I have had appointments with Chuck Albers and remarked to my wife,of the excellent service on all occasions.She informed me that she has only dealt with Marvin Kachuk,originally by coincidence and later intentionally, as she has always left the shop satisfied that her vehicle’s issues were addressed.

On my 2nd last, and most recent visit to your service department, I had both appointments with Marvin and my vehicle posed a few out of the ordinary challenges. I was extremely pleased with his open dialogue, attention to detail,the level of service that was delivered, and his commitment to meet schedule, and now I understand why my wife speaks so highly of him.

I work for a major engineering and construction firm as Director of Latin America, and as an engineer I am very focused on detail and my time at home with my family is critically managed, so schedule is everything.Having said that I can be a very harsh critic when things go wrong.

We have never been disappointed in dealing with your service staff,including the shuttle drivers and every time it has been a pleasant experience.

The success of any business is because of its people, and you and your senior management should be commended because you understand it and have surrounded yourselves with excellent, dedicated people who truly understand customer service.

Regards

Subject: My New 300C

Hi Scott,

My name is Boyd Sharpe and I just took delivery on a brand new black 2011 Chrysler 300c AWD c/w a HEMI. So far, it’s been a real blast. I was looking for a car that was a crossover between my Jetta GLI and my Mercedes S 430, both of which I traded in on the 300c. I think I got the right car. It’s luxurious but it’s got the power and punch that I like in a car.

I also want to take a moment to mention the efforts of Colette Staples who did a great job of helping to find and secure the car for me. She was right on the ball and I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with her concern, efforts and professionalism. I will be looking for a new Jeep in the fall and I am definitely considering Colette and Sherwood Park Dodge when the time comes. I did shop around a little in this process and you folks, by far, came out on top.

Thanks again for a positive shopping and buying experience.

Best Regards,

Boyd Sharpe

Subject: Customer Assistance

Good Morning,

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the assistance from Keith Bedard. I had a fairly negative experience at [dealer name omitted] last winter. I was led to believe the towing capacity of an F150 Lariat would handle the work I needed the truck to do. When I went back to [dealer name omitted] they were willing to help…but were, in my opinion, trying to gouge me once again. Keith looked for options for me, and I decided to purchase a 2wd Larime diesel. Although vehicles are a lot of money, I feel the deal that Keith arrange was a fair one. I work in HR, and it is always a pleasure to find people who truly enjoy what they do. That was my experience at Sherwood Dodge. My son will be driving in a couple of years…I will be back. Keep up the good work.

Hi Scott

I’m driving my amazing little Fiat and it truly exhilarates me every time I get behind the wheel. I had a wonderful experience, dealing with Willie and also Rebecca in finance. They made the buying process so much easier than I’ve had with previous dealerships. I get so many people complimenting me on my car and I tell all of them to go to your dealership and give one of the Fiat’s a test drive. Hopefully some will come!

Now I’m going to look into getting car film applied, also at your dealership. I have to keep my little beauty looking good! Thank you for all your help with the deal I got on the car.

Subject: Todd Voshell – 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

To whom it may concern,

My name is Todd Voshell and I recently purchased a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 70th anniversary edition – somewhat reluctantly.

I previously owned a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Diesel) from new, and was always somewhat impressed with the fit and finish, the fuel mileage, and most of all the safety features. Unfortunately, a couple months ago I was involved in a single vehicle accident and my Jeep was injured. I sent it to Sherwood Park Dodge for repairs and upon seeing the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and finding out that my vehicle was going to take longer to repair than expected (nature of the damage) I decided to test the water and trade in my 2008 – I didn’t want to, as this was going to be vehicle I kept for the next ten years! However, reluctant and apprehensive I was I traded it in and I now have the “New Look” Jeep Grand Cherokee, which has a fit and finish that rivals Acura, BMW, Lexus (about time)…. I got a great deal, and I now drive a vehicle that looks and drives fantastic!
To be honest I was headed to a BMW.

Hi Sheldon,

Just wanted to let you know that we have had a good experience with your dealership and your staff. My husband and I were very impressed with your dealership and your sales staff.

We are extremely happy to say that Willie Cudmore was exceptional with the sale of our vehicle. He responded to our emails promptly ( We are from Fort McMurray) and we did not have to wait long to get what we wanted. He took his time showing us the special features of the car. It wasn’t like here you go, here is the car and off you go. He was super. He made it a good experience.

Overall, we had a good experience with Willie and your dealership and look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Subject: Another fabulous experience with your staff and dealership

Good morning Scott,

I just wanted to let you know that we have had, yet again, a wonderful experience with your dealership and its staff! My husband and I had written a previous letter to you when we had purchased his 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited towards the end of 2010. We had been very impressed with your dealership and your sales staff, and we loved the vehicle so much, that when we decided to purchase a two-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara for me (after all, I couldn’t let my husband have all the fun!), we didn’t think to go anywhere else!

We came back in January 2011, dealing once again with Cam Teel, who had been our salesperson with the original Jeep we purchased, and whom we had been very happy with, and confident that he would do another great job for us. As I had ordered the specifics I wanted, it was a 12 week wait for the vehicle to arrive. When I called in around the 11 week mark to check on its arrival, I was quite surprised and a bit concerned to find that Cam was no longer there. I have to admit I was a bit nervous, as my previous experiences with car salespeople at other dealerships had not been all that pleasant, and I was worried that now that ‘my’ salesperson was unavailable, it might turn into a bad experience.

I am extremely happy to report that Keith Bedard, who our file was turned over to, went above and beyond to ensure that the delivery of the vehicle went smoothly……despite the fact that my vehicle was in “lockdown” in a railyard or storage facility where apparently there were workers on strike, Keith took the extra time and care to reassure me and to see that the vehicle was delivered very promptly. He was very enjoyable to deal with, made sure that we didn’t have to wait a long time when we came to pick the vehicle up, and really went the distance with any request or concerns that we had. I’d had a back-ordered accessory, which Keith made sure I received within a couple of days of getting my Jeep! Overall, I have to say that it was yet another extraordinarily pleasant experience dealing with one of your staff, and the dealership as a whole!!

Thanks again to Keith and your dealership for wonderful service (and the great jeep!!!)

Sincerely,

Shirley Alexander

Subject: A Great Experience-Thank-you

Hi there,

I would like to take a moment to share with you a great experience I recently had with some of your staff.

4 years ago, I leased a 2007 Sebring, and I had lately been exploring my options with the lease coming to maturity.

I came into the Sherwood Park dealership at the end of February and spoke with Keith Bedard. Keith was so friendly! At that time he went over some of the options available,
but was in no way trying to push me into a new vehicle, which I truly appreciated. I believe that would have probably been in “his” best interest but not necessarily mine and that left a lasting impression.

As I looked at other vehicles over the next month, I came to the conclusion that for me, buying out my Sebring was probably the best way to go at this time.
So visiting Keiith again with my decision, I was now redirected to Rob Shaw. And once again, felt very well informed & well taken care of!

Because of my first impression & the trust I felt in meeting Keith, I came back and continued to do business with your dealership. If not for that, things may certainly have gone in a different direction.

Right from the time I entered the dealership, even the receptionists were very polite. From beginning to end, my experience was top notch!

I also know Terri Menard as my neighbour, and right from the get go she told me “they” would take good care of me, and she was right!

I would like to commend you for hiring fantastic staff who really seem to have their customers best interest at heart!

Many thanks to Keith Bedard, and Rob Shaw specifically, for making this whole process for me an exceptionally pleasant one! I really appreciate everything they did and how comfortable they made me feel!

Sincere regards,

Michelle Tuchsen (Happy Customer)

I just have to say that I just bought a brand new Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 V8 hemi over the weekend and I wanted to complement the great service that me and my family had received from your dealership and sales staff. In particular, I wanted to thank Eddie Yehia our sales consultant. He was up front, informative and made buying a new vehicle quite enjoyable.

A week before I was shopping for trucks at [dealer name removed] and was really discouraged by the customer service and salespeople. I had checked out about 8-9 different dealerships and must say that your dealership was far and above any of the service we received at other dealerships (dodge, ford).

I wouldn’t hesitate to refer any of my friends and family to check out Sherwood Dodge!

Actually, my wife and I are now considering purchasing a new dodge journey or dodge Durango from your dealership.

As a side bar, I have always owned a ford and this is the first dodge that I have ever owned and very happy to do so.

Regards,

Eric Hanson

Dear Scott

My husband and I just bought a Dodge Journey from Chris and we needed to write to let you’s know what a AWESOME salesman you have on your staff. This is our second vehicle we have owned and our first one was through Ford and we had such a terrible experience with them and got taken really badly. We desperately needed a new vehicle because my husband is a commuter and the car we own now has so many km’s on it and is in need of much work. We came into Dodge because we had some friends and family buy from you guys and they said to go see you’s because they also had a great experience. We told Chris from the very start what we went through with Ford and that we are very leary and he was so patient and understanding we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!!! We came in there really not sure of what we wanted but told Chris some of the things we were looking for and we took out a few different vehicles for test drives but it was the Journey we were stuck on and it had exactly the things that we were looking for THANK YOU CHRIS!!!Chris made us feel so welcome as soon as we came in the door our whole experience with him was absolutely wonderful he was so helpful, patient and completely understanding with us. Any question’s we had for him he answered and if he didn’t know the answer he found out for us in a flash. There just isn’t enough words to say to him or about him. He made our second experience completely wonderful. Chris is definitely a people person he has got a great sense of humour and knows how to make a person feel so welcome!!Thank you so much Chris for EVERYTHING you did for us you will never know how much this meant!!! We will definitely be spreading the word about Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep and about Chris!! See you all next Saturday for the pick up of our New Dodge Journey!! =)Dan & Gwenda Prouty

Good morning.

Well Linda and I thought we would send this email to you and hopefully you will forward this to the Sherwood Park Dodge family.First of all we wanna say “Thank You”.For those who don’t know, buying a new vehicle has been a challenge and my experience with a couple of Dodge dealerships and Ford has left a bad taste. My first experience was with a friend who had bought a new vehicle with a Dodge company in the city I couldn’t believe the hassles, the poor customer service and putting safety at risk by doing a poor inappropriate mechanical work on the vehicle. It was getting frustrating dealing wit this dealership. I thought to myself, never will I deal with Dodge. I have heard nothing but negative talk about Dodge products.My personal experience with buying a used vehicle through a Ford dealership was also a learning experience. To make a long story short I ended up with a vehicle that was involved in an accident and when asked for a Car report, never seen it. After many months I was stuck with something I was never happy with but learned to deal with it. When I seen the new looking Dodge I liked it ALOT. Fall of 2010 I thought I’d see about getting out of my Ford for the new truck.The dealership I went to made me again remember how Dodge was maybe a mistake. I asked to talk to a salesman. I waited for half an hour. You may say they where busy. No. There where many standing around. I was about to leave when one finally came up. We talked and told him what I was looking for. At first I really wanted to take out a Challenger because I was seriously thinking of getting a car. By the way I am a Camaro fan. lol. The salesperson looked at me and said “NO”. You want a truck. Ok so I’m thinking to myself who’s the one buying a vehicle. So here I go again another strike against Dodge. Showed me a truck and asked if I could chose what color. I said I like Maroon “NO” you want blue. Strike two. Took it out for a test drive and yeah it was a great driving vehicle I again told him I was thinking of either truck or car and I wanted to test the Challenger “NO” not gonna happen. That was it. Left the dealership and thought I’d keep the Ford.I remember driving along the Yellowhead last year and seen a older lady with a blown tire heading east. Being an ex firefighter and always there to help anyone in need to took the next exit and turned around. I got there offered to help. She had called AMA and told me she was going to Sherwood Park Dodge because I think she said she was one of the owners and on her way there. Told her seen many commercials but had a bad experience with Dodge and she advised me to come check them out should have then before going with Ford.Watching TV seeing advertising of your dealership and with Linda needing a vehicle thought what the heck let’s check you guys out. What an experience. Everyone friendly. Our sales person listened to our needs and would like, ( all except I still want to test drive a Challenger. lol), to thank you guys for all your help. Linda and I are very happy and thank you for all your hard work and making our experience a good one. Yes in the back of my mind I do have some concerns but I hope in time Sherwood Park will help put those concerns to rest.

Well Again THANK YOU and looking forward to many years of great service. You make us feel important and we greatly appreciate all the help

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the purchasing experience at Sherwood Dodge and he has much to with it. I manage our fleet and am very familiar with the acquisition process which, from my experience, has been akin to pulling teeth. But, with my personal purchase, the experience has been pain-free and Brad has been very diligent in keeping me updated and responding to my requests in a timely manner. He has also been very patient with me and went out of his way (in my opinion) to provide me with a rental car until I receive my Jeep.While I anticipate receiving my vehicle sometime next week, I am still very much pleased and grateful that I came down to visit you in Sherwood Park and fortunate to have found great salesman in Brad. His boundless energy has made him a fantastic person to work with.Thank you.

Good morning;

I have been dealing with Rhonda Mceachern regarding accessories for the Jeep I purchased there last fall, and I cannot say enough good things about this young lady. From our dealings back and forth the past few days, I can she is passionate about what she does, and very caring in regards to my wants and needs. I might add that she is a pretty good little salesperson, too.She suggested accessories I didn’t even know existed, and so of course I must have them also. In fact, I am so impressed with her and the advice she has provided me, I am having my husband look at the accessory link she sent me for his Ram so he can “make it into something that is custom and personal” also, as Rhonda put it. Make sure you keep this one – she is awesome.I’d also like to make a comment or two about your service department while I’m at it. I’ve had my Jeep in there three times and Shauna assisted me two of those times, and she also is a customer service superstar as far as I’m concerned. The last time I was there I pulled into the bay and promptly locked my keys in the vehicle when I got out of it. I was mortified by my stupidity, but Shauna didn’t even blink – she said, “Would you like me to cut a key for you – it’s about $10″, saving me time, and from prolonged humiliation. And she made me feel very comfortable when showing me how the display worked and how I could customize that to suit my needs. Very kind, knowledgeable young lady as well. I’m liking your dealership more and more, and I will be spreading the word.

To Whom it May Concern…

After having the WORST experience EVER at two Jeep dealerships in the west end of Edmonton, we made our way to Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep at our LAST attempt to a buy a Jeep.

We knew exactly what we wanted so we walked to the reception desk and in no less than two minutes after the call for a sales associate was made did Keith Bedard come strolling over to us ready to help. After hearing our story about our dealings with the other dealerships and perhaps the desperation in my voice to get my husband into his own vehicle and out of mine…. Keith made every attempt to make sure from that point on we were taken care of. I was so confident in Keith that I left my husband at the dealership and went to work without any worry that the best deal was going to be done and he wouldn’t leave my husband vehicle-less waiting on the curb outside the showroom for me to come pick him up at the end of the day.

If you want it DONE RIGHT and without any stupid games that other dealerships like to play then head to Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep and ask for KEITH BEDARD.

Huge thanks for the exceptional service Keith !

Sent: Jan 14, 2011 1:40 PM

Dear Scott:Up until recently my wife Shirley and I were devoted Toyota owners. That changed mid October 2010, when we rented a 2010 Jeep Unlimited on Vancouver Island. We returned home and I immediately began my search for a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4 door). I contacted every dealer in Edmonton, and even included towns and other cities within Alberta, looking for a dealership that had stock, as well as a knowledgeable staff.After many hours, I ended up contacting Sherwood Park Dodge and was put through to Cam Teel. Cam was able to clarify many questions…….questions that other dealerships sales staff didn’t know and surprisingly didn’t offer to find out. For instance, we had a question about the tow group package on the Wrangler Sahara Unlimited, and although he didn’t know the answer right away, he took the time and made the effort to find out the correct answer for us, so that we could be confident that we were getting what we needed. He was low pressure, very comfortable to deal with, and very knowledgeable. In November, Cam Teel found the right Jeep for me, which had been in transport, and I put a deposit on it. A few days later it came in! We were very impressed, and the deal went through. All the staff (Cam Teel, Martin Seifert – Sales Manager, the finance department, the parts department) were excellent to deal with! Now that I’ve owned it awhile…I enjoy the Jeep more every day. I can honestly say, I have never enjoyed any other vehicle this much in my life…and I’ve owned several vehicles over my 38 years of driving! We had such a positive experience at Sherwood Dodge (and we enjoy my vehicle so much) that last night my wife and I went back to Cam Teel and ordered her a Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2 door. Again, Cam, Martin and the rest of the staff were great!Your dealership and staff has made this a great experience, and we will definately recommend you to others!Sincerely,
Dave and Shirley AlexanderP.S. Who would have thought a 3 day romantic getaway to Vancouver Island would have swung us to get rid of our 2 newer Toyotas and purchase 2 Jeeps? We’re so glad we did:-)

Just wanted to touch points with you in regards to the repair done on my vehicle this last Saturday, January 08, 2011.

Your service department did an excellent job of installing the ‘factory’ cruise control…it works VERY well…they left the interior of my vehicle…absolutely spotless… and the job was done on time at the price that was quoted me.

Keep up the great job Sherwood Park Dodge…I think you’ve won over yet another customer that will come back again and again for service and for repeat sales.

Again, job well done!!

Dear Mr. Held

My name is Mike Joly and I am the Head of the English Department at Archbishop Jordan High School. I am writing you this letter because I wanted to say how very impressed I am with the people at Sherwood Dodge, particularly Mr. Ron Blonar.

When I went in to look at new vehicles, Ron was there to greet me and walked me through every step of the way. He was polite, funny and most importantly “straight up” about everything. I am the kind of guy who tells it like it is and appreciate that quality in others – and I found that in Ron. He helped me get the best deal possible, though it was difficult and I am sure cost him personally, and he also made me feel like a valued customer throughout the whole experience.

I have never before owned a domestic vehicle and never thought to own one – I loved my BMW 328i. But because of Ron’s actions and if the Jeep itself lives up to it’s expected quality, I will be a Sherwood Dodge customer for life.

My wife is already talking about buying a new Jeep next year(she loves my new one). Actually I have never seen her happier with a vehicle and that makes me happy. You know, happy wife, happy life .

In the end Ron, with the help of Jason and Terry and one other guy whose name escapes me(sorry!), made me feel welcome and valued throughout the whole process and I have been recommending your dealership to all those in my life. Thank you for understanding the importance of customer service and hiring the people you do – my wife and I will definitely be back next year!

Sincerely,
Mike Joly

I can honestly say that has never happened before and I have bought a lot of new vehicles over the years. This is the first time we have ever bought a vehicle from your dealership and it won’t be the last.

I already brought my truck in for the free oil change which you supplied us with.The service dept was great to deal with as well.

Hi There,

I want to take this time to commend Ron Blonar on a job well done!!!

Greg and myself were customers of xxxxx* and after numerous bad dealings and horrible attitude from the staff and a gentleman by the name of xxxxx* telling us to take our lease to another dealership, we had decided that we were not going to darken the doorway of xxxxx* again.

We talked about the idea of letting go of Dodge altogether and possibly starting to deal with Ford or Chevy (although we didn’t really want to). After careful consideration, we decided that we would give Dodge one more shot but then the decision was which dealership to go to. In the end, we chose Sherwood.

We drove our new Dodge 1500 home last night and our faith in Dodge was regained. Ron Blonar was absolutely fantastic with us and he worked so hard on our deal to make this happen. It took a little longer than we had expected but the fact that Ron pushed to make this happen is very much appreciated.

I want to give a huge shout out to Ron Blonar and also Adam and Jaylynne for all the hard work. You have just proved to Greg and myself that not everyone is only about the money, it is also about the customer!!!

Please take the time to give these people a huge pat on the back for a job well done and two very satisfied customers that will continue to do business with Sherwood Dodge. These people are definitely an asset to your team.

Thank you so much,

Crystal Swartz and Greg Brown

My wife and I first spoke with Paul O’mara, unfortunately he was off to China soon and wasn’t able to continue being our salesman. He handed us over to Ben, and for the next week, Ben worked very hard to find me the truck I wanted, and he did.

We were very impressed with Ben and everyone we dealt with including, Rob Shaw in finance, the receptionist, and the parts counter.

When my wife and I were in the market for a replacement for our current vehicles I looked forward to the process with dread. My experiences with typical car dealerships left me cold and untrusting to say the least. I heard the advertisement series put out by your dealership owner Scott Held and was taken by the candor of the statements. On that basis contacted and was in turn put in contact with you. My main concern was whether or not the statements about your dealerships attitude towards doing business with its customers would be born out in the experience, after all, actions do speak louder than words. I am pleased to say that the experience exceeded my expectations.

Gordon we appreciate greatly your professional approach to filling our vehicle needs. As a direct result of your efforts, we ended up with a truck that was the perfect match to our needs and certainly one far better than we originally thought we could afford. In dealing with you we truly felt that your goal was to find the right vehicle for us, not just to sell us a truck. Our satisfaction extended to the business part of the transaction as well. We were exceedingly pleased with the price we were able to agree on, and the fact that there were no after the deal surprises (other than positive ones).

Gordon I will not hesitate to recommend Sherwood Park Dodge in general, and yourself in particular, to anyone who I know is looking for a vehicle and who is looking to be fairly and ethically treated throughout the transaction.

Thank you for finding us the right truck and thank you for making the experience so pleasurable.

Hi Scott:

Just wanted to praise a car sales person at the Sherwood Park Dodge Dealership. I went in there looking for a vehicle, uncertain of what I truly wanted. I dealt with Collette Staples, and believe me, both my husband and myself have dealt with a lot of car salesmen recently…she was like a “breath of fresh air”. She is a very warm, caring and genuine individual, which made all the difference for me. There was no false pretense about her whatsoever. Collette’s knowledge base on various vehicles was excellent, and I loved the fact that if she didn’t know, she was truthful in stating so, and investigated to find the answer. Being in the sales industry myself, there is nothing worse than having someone attempt to “bulltweet” their way through a sale. I can truly say that she has been by far the best car sales person I have ever dealt with. I will certainly refer any of my friends to her.

Regards,

Teresa Sanche

Good Morning Mr. Scott Held,

I would like to thank you for having staff that will go above and beyond to help somebody out. Last week I had my wheels stolen off my 2008 Jeep SRT 8.

As I walked out of my house and looked up I saw my Jeep sitting on blocks with no wheels. I am sure you are aware of how hard it is to get not only the rims but the tires replaced. Naturally I called your Dealership which I have started dealing with ever since Ron Blonar switched over to your Team. I was put through to Stacey # 2 in your parts department to see what she could do for me and get together a price. I stressed to her that my Jeep was in front of my house with no way to move it because of the wheel requirements for the Jeep. She called me back and gave me the bad news of $12,000.00 and probably a 3 week wait. My next step was to ask if you had any on the lot that I could buy. She said she would get back to me. I then called Ron to see if he could help and he told me that there were no SRT’s on the lot at all. It was not looking good. As the word got around your dealership Gord Campbell let Stacey and Ron know that he just sold an SRT and the customer switched his rims and tires for aftermarket ones. So they went to work trying to acquire the wheels but the customer did not want to sell them nor did he want to rent them to me till mine came in. By the next morning your staff had convinced the customer to sell and by the late afternoon I was picking them up at your store to go them on my Jeep.

Gordon, Ron and Stacey # 2 understood and did what they could to make my unfortunate situation less painful by going to the max to help me out. I am pleased to say that I will continue to deal with your store and will send people who I deal with on a day to day basis to your dealership without the fear of them getting less than the best in service.

Once again Thanks to You and your Staff for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Have a Great Day !

I would also like to comment on the staff at Sherwood Park Dodge – last November my husband had had surgery in Edmonton and we were on our way home when my truck died in front of Sherwood Park Dodge. Lucky enough we were able to limp it over the ditch so to speak to the dealership. Once inside I asked to speak to the Manager of the dealership and thereupon I met Alan Wack. I explained my story to him, about my husband having just had surgery that morning, on our way home – 2 hours from Sherwood Park, and our unfortunate luck. He told me not to worry that we would be looked after. They pulled my truck, with my sleeping husband in to diagnose the problem to find that the lift pump had gone. There was no way we were be able to get home. The next day happened to be Remembrance Day, lucky for us the dealership was open and Sheila Wilson, the Service Manager, come down and assured me that the vehicle would be the first one in the morning to be fixed so we could get back on the road

to home. I was so very thankful for the professionalism, and the fact that they cared about our situation. They drove us over to a hotel, picked us up the next day, and throughout the day kept us informed of the progress of the truck.

Just recently we decided to start looking around to purchase another truck, and I was in Edmonton to drop my husband off at the airport so I decided to drive by and see if they had a particular color combination of a truck that we were interested in. I should mention that it was 7:45 in the a.m. when I was there. Gord Campbell drove by to see if I required any assistance, and gave me all the details on the truck, offered me coffee when the dealership had yet to open their doors. He has even called or emailed me on his day off at home which goes above and beyond I feel. Gord is such a great guy, in no way did I feel pressured from him either which is very very important to me and alot of other people I know.

So hats off to Sherwood Park Dodge – you have a great team – I appreciate everything you do and continue to do for us!!! Thank you very much.

Hi Scott – I just wanted to send you a note to commend you on the amazing staff you have at Sherwood Park Dodge. My husband and I recently purchased a 2010 Dodge Journey – which we love – and the experience couldn’t have been easier. We put off buying a vehicle for a long time because we wanted to avoid the hassle that usually comes with the process – however, your dealership rises well above the rest of them. From my first meeting with Bill Senchuk, I knew we were in the right place. We had no idea what kind of a vehicle we wanted, and I initially came to SP Dodge to look at the Jeeps. I met Bill and he showed me the Journey which I really liked. He gathered a bunch of info for me to take home to my husband and simply told me that if that was the vehicle for me – he would love to work with us, but if not, no pressure. I really appreciated that because I was scared by all the stories you hear about sales people swooping in and having you sign papers for something you don’t want or aren’t ready for.

My husband and I did tour around to a few other dealerships in the city, however, we either had no one help us, or only someone interested in a sale – once they knew we were only looking, they moved on. As you know, buying a vehicle is a big decision, and the car we had lasted us for 10 years. So I suggested to my husband that we go back to SP Dodge because I still had the Journey in my mind, as well as the service. Ray had the same impression as me – very nice vehicle, and he thought Bill was great – very knowledgeable.

Anyway – to make a long story short – from start to finish Bill was very courteous, available and efficient, we got exactly what we wanted for our price range. He made sure everything was taken care of for us – we were on a timeline, and he ensured we had the vehicle for the weekend we were planning on going away. Jason Hill, took care of us with the paperwork and made sure we understood everything we were signing – it seemed like such an easy process. I am sure there were many other staff involved, and I thank them as well.

So again – we thank you and your staff so much – we will be sending many people your way.

Just wanted to pass on a word of appreciation for the way we were treated at your dealership. My twenty year old son wanted to buy a Toyota Tundra and we visited the Sherwood Park dealership only to walk away totally frustrated being unable to get a straight answer. My experience was when a young person and a woman are out vehicle shopping you are not taken seriously and are basically jerked around. I suggested to my son that we visit Sherwood Park Dodge but since his mind was set on a Toyota he went begrudgingly. We met Shane Johnson in the parking lot of your dealership and from the get go he treated us like we were important. He listened to what kind of vehicle my son wanted and was totally professional. His demeanor was very relaxed and it put us at ease right away. Shane convinced my son that the product is not all you look for when purchasing a vehicle it is also the service of the dealership. My son ended up purchasing his first new vehicle, a Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab. He has been more than pleased by the way he was treated and promises to refer all his friends to Shane. Great Job keep up the good work.

Subject: Re: Sales Consultant – Eddie Yehia

Hi Scott;

During my stay in Phoenix last winter to April 1, 2010 I decided to purchase a Chrysler Town & Country Van with all the toys. I had called, emailed, sent photos to Eddie in trying to deal “long distance” one may say. Eddie was very assertive, he sent me every detail of the vehicle and we had made a tentative deal over the phone and internet. A first for both of us! Very impressive.

I was sold on the Chrysler Van as many people in the park we reside in Phoenix have them and love them. I thought I would as well. Eddie kept me informed – “hey Steven, you don’t have to take the van when you get back to Sherwood Park if it’s not suitable for you”. How thoughtful is that! A deposit was made and the van was held until my return.

Upon my return to Sherwood Park the van was spic and span and looked very beautiful. I was sold on it or at least I thought I was, however, Eddie suggested that I take it for the weekend and try it and make sure it is what I really want and need as I have never owned or driven a van previously. During the first day of driving the van, I realized it just didn’t suit me. I felt uncomfortable in it and it seemed so small. Also the passenger seat did not move back far enough for my comfort (I am quite a large man). I really toyed with the idea of purchasing it regardless as Eddie did so much leg work on this sale. Upon returning the van Eddie was supportive of my decision as to not go ahead with the deal as he wouldn’t be happy himself. There was no problem and no guilt feelings about not pursuing the purchase.

I had worked for a large company for +37 years and we strived for our employees to achieve “total customer satisfaction”. It was rarely achieved. I would comment that Eddie’s service went above and beyond his job description. He is definitely an asset to Sherwood Park, Dodge, Chrysler Jeep. Please pass my compliments to this fine sales consultant. Also, in all the sales people I dealt with both in U.S.A. & Canada, without a doubt Eddie is the very best.

In future I will highly recommend customers to deal with Eddie as I will with my future vehicle needs.

Attention to: Scott Held, President/Owner

We so greatly appreciate the friendliness, ease, and efficiency of your used sales department to culminate our recent purchase of the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. We just love the car.

Darryl Varadi was exceptionally professional in making our transaction such a pleasure. Thank you Darryl.

The staff we met at the Sherwood Park Dodge dealership were very pleasant and helpful. You have a great team.

There is no doubt that your establishment will be at the top of our list when we purchase our next vehicle. We will most certainly recommend that everyone check out your business first before they buy.

Dodge 2010- 3/4 Ton

By blackglory75 – 23 Apr 2010

After 20 years of being a Chev man I recently purchased a 2010 Dodge 3/4 ton from Sherwood Park Dodge. I am very happy with the truck and even more pleased with the level of service from the staff in all the departments of Sherwood Park Dodge, not to mention a smokin low price. There was a few issues that arose from the set-up of the truck to my requests, and the sales staff and service department turned a set back into a good insight into the level of commitment to their customers. A very positive insight that would cause me to certainly recommend Sherwood Park Dodge to my friends, family and any other discerning buyers. Special thanks to Alice Czernecki and Darryl Varadi in sales.

Great Service and Wonderful Staff

By knowjuan – 23 Apr 2010

I just wanted to say that the work from the Service Department and Parts department was wonderful. I wasnt 100% sure what part I needed, how long it would take to get in, or even how or long it would take to install. I came in and the lady in parts helped me pick out exactly what I needed,and let me know that I could get it for the next day. I was overly surprised at her ability to narrow down exactly what I needed since I have no clue about vehicles. I then went to the service staff to see about install, which was more than reasonably priced and booked an appointment that day.The parts were in for my appointmment and my truck was done on time. I would recommend anyone to get work done at Sherwood Park Dodge. Thank you, this is the first dealership where I havent felt like a number when getting service done on my truck.

Immaculate Customer Service

By abreview – 22 Mar 2010

We purchased a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara from Sherwood Park Dodge in March 2010. Due to unfortunate miscommunication on the dealer’s behalf, the unit we ended up purchasing was $1157 more than the one we had put a deposit on the week prior. We were not informed of the vehicle switch & increase in price until we notified the dealership to inquire about the status of our order. Once management found out about this situation they were quick to “make it right” by honoring the original quoted price & even adding in a few extras. I would like to mention 2 particular outstanding employees, Coby & Keith, who went the extra mile to ensure we were 100% satisfied. They turned a negative experience into an extremely positive one that I will be sure to share with friends, family & coworkers. Through their actions they have shown that Sherwood Park Dodge is a reliable, responsive & credible dealership to conduct business with. Keith provided us with immaculate customer service & we left this dealership feeling good about our purchase & will be sure to do business again with them in the future!

We just purchased a used 2007 Duramax Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab from your dealership.

We are very thankful that Shane happened to be outside the showroom when we drove on the lot

because within five minutes we were looking at our truck!

Shane is beyond a doubt the best sales person we have ever dealt with when buying a vehicle.

He was very patient and bent over backwards to meet our needs and requests.

Buying a vehicle can be a very trying time but Shane makes the process a delight.

Great guy!!!!! Great sense of humor!!!!

I also made a comment to one of the staff that everyone was dressed so nice. He said “We have to dress nice”.

We were and are very impressed with your dealership and will certainly send referrals to Shane

when and if we can.

Subject: Jeep purchase

Hi Shane:

I just wanted to send a note to you to say thank you for making the purchase of my “new-to-me” Jeep easier (and actually fun) than I would have ever expected. When I bought my 2003 Jeep Liberty the experience was such a hassle I finally turned negotiations over to my husband and told them that I would keep my old Ford Explorer and run it into the ground because this process of buying a new vehicle was supposed to be fun and it simply sucked.

I did try to re-approach the same dealership last week, thinking things may have changed in the economic downturn and the experience was already building into the same cheesy downward spiral.

I was frustrated and feeling ripped off. Being a woman trying to be treated with any level of courtesy, consideration or respect in the process of trading or purchasing a vehicle, is just consistently a disappointment in the car business.

I found Sherwood Park Dodge online and loved the website. Immediately I received prompt attention and when I told you I was looking for a two door, rag top, 4 wheel drive vehicle – which sounds like a Jeep to me…… – thank you for not suggesting a minivan! or a Dodge Charger! to drive around on our farm.

You just ‘got it’ and I guess the 31 years of experience shows. This was the best way to buy a vehicle that I know of and I have to say you even impressed my husband and he has purchased quite a few vehicles over the years. The service and up front honesty that we received from you and Rebekah made me feel comfortable and confident that I would be happy with the end result.

You can put me in your repeat customer file. I know that I will make the drive from Red Deer again to purchase through you. Your cards have been distributed out to my girlfriends who simply dread the thought of going through the usual pistol whipping of buying a new vehicle. They are very encouraged by my experience.

By the way, your owner/manager who personally came out to meet us was an all time first. It must be easier to show your face to your customer when you are not the “bad guy” hidden in the back office.

Cheers to all of you.

Margo

To Sherwood Park Dodge

On Oct. 21 I had been searching online for a used truck and came across your website. It was good to see a site with prices & details about vehicles.

Found some trucks I wanted to look at but were out of my price range. So I called the car lot & they put me through to Brad. Brad said one vehicle I was looking at on the web wasn’t in yet, so come in and have a look.

Told Brad how much I could spend and what I wanted. The truck they showed me was out of my price range, he said don’t worry about the price, numbers can be adjusted. I wanted a super cab short box.

When we went for a test drive it was in a Ford SuperCrew and I don’t even like them.

He pointed how much better the Super -crew would be for space & getting in & out & more room for our dog. We took the truck home. It drove great.

When we took it back to the dealer they had a deal worked out for us with trading both vehicles for the Ford.

It was a good deal & in our budget !!!

We both really enjoy driving the Ford F-150 SuperCrew and being the main driver I am extremely satisfied with the choice.

From your informative website to the sales people & finance dept. it was an easy and good experience.

Thank you for the Safety Kit you sent us!!

We tell everyone we know about you!

I then brought in Cheryls Liberty for her to get it installed and Dean Mitchel in service helped me out. I also requested if they could take some time to look at a brake pedal noise that was concerning Cheryl.

All in all I was very happy with the service provided and the explanation around Cheryls pedal noise concern.

Everyone we dealt with including the driver that gave me aride back to work were all very personable and pleasent.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone and I wish we could have bought her Liberty thru you but unfortunately you did not have and could not get the colour she wanted.

I will definately recommend any cohorts of mine to you in the future.

Subject: our experience

Importance: High

Ron,

I just wanted to pass along an email of appreciation from LeeAnne and

myself.

As you are aware, we were facing returning our vehicle and doing the new car

shopping at several dealerships in the Edmonton Market. We came to Sherwood

Park Dodge first.

To be honest, it was the fresh media advertisement that drew us there. Once

there, we were greeted by a sales rep that was tested right away, with some direct questions. He was honest and straight by telling us he was not best suited to help, as he was in used and referred us to you. That was refreshing, most sales staff would wing it until exhausting any chance of success, then turn over the more than frustrated customer to another sales rep that would only wing it as well.

It was your overall demeanor, respect and professionalism to us BOTH, not just to me (it is amazing other sales reps don’t get this in their profession; wives make most of the buying decisions), to my wife, that made the buying experience a great one. We clearly did not know what we wanted yet so with out hassle, old closing tactics, and pressure we headed out to continue our quest to determine what type of vehicle was best suited for us.

Unfortunately, for the other Edmonton area Auto dealerships, the bar had been set; and we went to alot of places. None could even come close to you (and some did have the product we wanted as well) and the presentation of Sherwood Park Dodge. It was also the rest of the staff while we were there; they really seem to like their job, and we saw this positive attitude with the other customers as well.

Usually lofty or unreasonable trade-in expectations from customers are met with a

sales rep or manager taking an offensive, condescending reaction towards the customer.

Once again, your sales ability came though and won me (and the wife, which is usually

pretty tough!) over with respectful negotiating.

We are extremely happy with the overall experience with ALL involved,during the entire transaction, and especially the treatment we recieved when we picked up our

“dream” car,

Without any hesitation we will be telling anyone who wants to listen about your fantastic dealership. We will also be saying “Go see Ron”!

My family, my friends and acquaintances have about 40 years plus of vehicle purchases

still left in us; and I believe you and the dealership realizes this by your attitude towards people. We will be back.

Thanks Again,

Andrew and LeeAnne

Howdy,

I think we all have a great fear of salesmen regardless of what they

are pushing. Like they may trap you into consuming some merchandise

that you really didn’t want. I honestly believe this is one of the

reasons that I drove my old 1991 Dodge up until last week after

visiting your showroom.

From the moment that I walked into your dealership and met Mr.

Richard Bigelow I felt at ease and never pressured or pushed. By the

end of the day I felt like RB ( as I now call him ) was my friend and

we got down to finding me a truck. His approach was excellent as he

commenced to find out through chit chat who I was and what I thought I

needed in a truck. Then he convinced me of what I really needed which

was absolutely correct. I love my new truck and have no one to thank

but RB. He didn’t just sell me a truck he became a friend and I

believe after meeting him that it would have turn out this way wether

I had purchased or not. I will recommend him to everyone I know who is

thinking of buying a vehicle and wants to meet someone genuine.

Thanks RB; and buy the way my wife loves the new truck as well.

Dear Mr. Held,

I am writing you this letter to express my appreciation and gratitude for your business’ excellent customer service. Being female, I sometimes have found it intimidating going into a dealership, needing work done and knowing absolutely nothing about vehicles.

This was absolutely not the case in your dealership. I found your staff very understanding, supportive and professional. At no time did I feel stupid or that I was bothersome.

I was especially impressed with your customer shuttle driver, Shelley Worroll. I found her very conscientious and genuinely concerned about my safety, both in the vehicle and out. She conducted herself in a very friendly and professional manner.

I feel it is important that when someone is good at something it is important to tell them and those around them.

Thank you.

Hi Gerry

I know you called and asked if I liked the truck and I did not reply. Reason was I felt I had not driven it enough to give you a honest answer. Well are you ready for it?…

It the best truck I haver ever driven or owned . It now has 3600 km on the odometer and I am gettin 19.6 to 20.3 miles per gallon with some city and highway mix. Highway alone is 20 + mpg if you go 110 km/hr and its not too hilly.BUT the engine is not even broke in yet and its getting this kind of mpg! It rides great , handles great and POWER , HOLY SMOKES …. at 100 km/hr (60mph) if you want to pass just push the gas peddel down abot 5 centemeters (2 inches) it shifts down and if you are not careful YOU WILL BE GOING 160 km/ph (100 MPH) by the time you have just passed the other vrhicle.

The controls , radio, speakers interior stuff is great, seats are comfy, I took it to High Level Alberta , a 7 hrs drive and was very comfortable and handled great a pleasure to drive and you feel like you could blow the doors of the competitors trucks with the HEMI power.

Great Truck!!! Love the sound of the dual pipes!!

I observed several potential trucks and when I came to your lot it was as if I had already been in the truck {s} I had listed the details where so good. I even met the photographer today and was able to compliment her.

My salesman was GERRY VARADI whom I met first once again online and he made me feel a trip in to see you would be a great experience.

As it turned out the 2007 was for me, I made my offer which was accepted with no nonsense and the cheque was wrote immediately.

As I am from IRMA ALBERTA Gerry arranged for the truck to be delivered to my door hell doctors don’t even make house calls.

Today the 8th I was in for some add ons for the truck which Gerry handled for me earlier in the week and today had a loaner ready for me so I could hit COSTCO and I was back on the road in the time specified. Thanks to Mr Varadi the day was a no hassle event.

I do not normally contact a business but really wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the truck but in particular wish to convey to you how pleased I am with the friendly efficient and personal service provided by Gerry VARADI.

Past experiences with dealerships and salespersons have not in any way been able to hold a candle to your dealership and the great trust you have put in the online aspect which is what sold this truck to me even before driving in .

Thanks again and please give Gerry a pat on the back they should all be like him.

Regards

Paul

Irma, Alberta

May 28, 2009

Attention: Scott Held —» President of Sherwood Park Dodge

RE: To the president of Sherwood Park and the gentlemen that work on this deal.

I would like to acknowledge one of your Salesmen Darryl Varadi. This Gentleman sold me a Brand New Black 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually Mega Cab . I first contact Darryl from the Internet requesting information, as soon as I hit send for the email I had my phone ringing within 2 minutes after I sent the email. After brief conversation of what I was looking for and where I was calling from ( ie: VANCOUVER) the first words that came out of Darryl’s mouth was ” I guess I have to make it worth while for you to come to Edmonton and buy the Vehicle” . I said to myself ” man this guy wants my business” . After dealing with 10 dealerships pricing me on this same truck Vin # –» 5 dealerships were from BC and 5 from Alberta. The experience I went through from lousy salesmen to no respect , bad customer service I finally chose Darryl because his price was the lowest and he was much more friendlier than other dealerships. So I gave him my business and your dealership business.

He was outstanding person to work with and when it came down to number crunching he understood were I was coming from and so on ……..I got the price I wanted and came to Edmonton on May 16 and drove back to Vancouver slowly in 3 days.

I can tell you one thing the dealerships in Vancouver were to expensive it was $4000 difference . I am for sure I will never buy a vehicle in Vancouver ever again. If I am searching for a new vehicle in the near future I will contact Darryl Varadi first, because I must say there is not many salesmen that I know how to respect customer and do business professionally.

Please take Darryl out for lunch and acknowledge him. He is for sure doing an excellent job. Please feel free to post this email to the other salesmen in your office . I hope your other salesmen in your office are just like Darryl because if they are, your new dealership is going to be very successful for the years to come.

Has for the other gentlemen that work on this deal , Jason Hill, and Alan Wack ………thank you for your support and respect for my business. Mr. President please acknowledge these guys as well.

Have good weekend. Next time I come to visit Edmonton I will stop by.

Regards

Flavio

Scott; I had to drop you a email and thank you personally on the way your dealership handled the sale on our Chrysler 300. The sales team of Paul O’mara and Scott Ford went out of their way to locate a 300 from the auction in the color, options and price range we were looking for . I know that you have a new dealership and in today’s market with the problems that Chrysler is facing it is hard to find good people who share the same goals of honesty and customer satisfaction. You have a beautiful dealership and good people. From my wife Linda and I the best of success in the upcoming years; Your on the right path.

From a old Chrysler collector;

Yours truly;

Les

Fran Z July 14, 2010 at 11:37 am: I would also like to comment on the staff at Sherwood Park Dodge – last November my husband had had surgery in Edmonton and we were on our way home when my truck died in front of Sherwood Park Dodge. Lucky enough we were able to limp it over the ditch so to speak to the dealership. Once inside I asked to speak to the Manager of the dealership and thereupon I met Alan Wack. I explained my story to him, about my husband having just had surgery that morning, on our way home – 2 hours from Sherwood Park, and our unfortunate luck. He told me not to worry that we would be looked after. They pulled my truck, with my sleeping husband in to diagnose the problem to find that the lift pump had gone. There was no way we were be able to get home. The next day happened to be Remembrance Day, lucky for us the dealership was open and Sheila Wilson, the Service Manager, come down and assured me that the vehicle would be the first one in the morning to be fixed so we could get back on the road to home. I was so very thankful for the professionalism, and the fact that they cared about our situation. They drove us over to a hotel, picked us up the next day, and throughout the day kept us informed of the progress of the truck.

Just recently we decided to start looking around to purchase another truck, and I was in Edmonton to drop my husband off at the airport so I decided to drive by and see if they had a particular color combination of a truck that we were interested in. I should mention that it was 7:45 in the a.m. when I was there. Gord Campbell drove by to see if I required any assistance, and gave me all the details on the truck, offered me coffee when the dealership had yet to open their doors. He has even called or emailed me on his day off at home which goes above and beyond I feel. Gord is such a great guy, in no way did I feel pressured from him either which is very very important to me and alot of other people I know.

So hats off to Sherwood Park Dodge – you have a great team – I appreciate everything you do and continue to do for us!!! Thank you very much.
Scott July 14, 2010 at 12:01 pm: Thank you for your kind words Fran.

I’m glad our team was able to help you.
Kelly Jackson August 29, 2010 at 10:05 pm: Just wanted to send out a great big thank-you to Brad McDonald and the rest of your staff for making the experience of buying a new truck so enjoyable. I don’t ever remember being treated so personably by a salesman in my life, from the minute I sent in an e-mail request right through until a drove off your lot in my new truck. Brad went above and beyond by returning a phone call well after business hours, taking care of a small problem after the sale even though he was on days off, treating my son and myself as a friend and completing the deal in a VERY professional manner. I will definately be a return customer and I will definately recommend you guys to any body thinking of buying a new vehicle. Once again, thank-you from the entire Jackson family, we all LOVE the truck!
Rob D September 17, 2010 at 10:15 pm: Dear Scott, I would like to extend a big thank you to you and your staff for the professionalism you showed my wife and I in the purchase of our Jeep Grand Cherokee. A special thank you goes out to our good friend Mark Reiman for the exceptional service he gave us, he was very professional and detail orientated , he shopped around looking for the exact vehicle my wife wanted. Also we would like to say thank you to Rob in finance for all his help in making the financing very pleasant and stress free. We will be back to your dealership when we need our next car and will being sending our friends. Thanks again.
Scott September 27, 2010 at 2:44 pm: Thank You Rob.

We are pleased to have Mark on our team.
Tabitha Mclaughlin November 3, 2010 at 11:17 pm: On the 28th of October I purchased a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Sport from Mark Riemann!

Mark Riemann has sold me 4 Dodge vehicles in the last 2 years. He is an amazing sales men. He is always looking out for our best interest as well as very helpful. He is a straight to the point type of guy. He knows what your looking for and get it for you.

Mark has a great personality. I will definetly be buying more vehicles from him in the future. He has made my experience at Sherwood Park Dodge a great experience and no headaches or games with this man. I recommend him for anyone that wants to buy a vehicle.

Thank again for the great experience.

Aimee Miller & Ian Palmerchuk November 13, 2010 at 10:27 pm: Vehicle shopping at Sherwood Park Dodge is like a breath of fresh air! My husband and I bought our 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 just days ago. We walked into Sherwood Park Dodge feeling very jaded, and frankly afraid, about buying another vehicle from Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep. Then we met Ryan Cheyne!! Every step of the process felt straightforward, honest, and comfortable. I could easily itemize a million little things that made him outstanding but this email would go on forever. He did not just talk about how dealerships should do better, he DID IT! We actually left feeling excited and good about our purchase, and like we had someone there to support us through it all. There was no pressure, no crap…just facts. Clint Plante was our finance guy and was so helpful! He also was completely honest when we asked challenging questions. He even gave us advice about the financing/insurance that we were closing out which will get us a big, fat refund. Very cool! Ryan even brought in the friendly service manager, Sheila, to meet us. In general, all the staff were extremely helpful and smiling. They actually seemed to enjoy their jobs – funny how that happens when you can work with integrity! Ryan repeatedly credited the owner, Scott, for encouraging his staff to change the vehicle buying experience. Big, big kudos to Scott for setting the bar and to his staff for emulating his ideals to perfection.

We are ecstatic with our new truck, looking like two Cheshire cats driving around. We are so impressed with Ryan and the other staff at Sherwood Park Dodge. We will definitely be buying more vehicles there in the future and recommending Ryan to anyone who will listen! Thank you so much to everyone at Sherwood Park Dodge for making buying a vehicle fun and exciting again – just as it should be! I need to go drive my truck some more now!

Angela Frank November 22, 2010 at 4:12 pm: The staff at Sherwood Park Dodge are like little elves working away behind the scenes to make things happen. From my rep, William Cudmore, to Adam and Jaylynn in finance and the staff in the parts department, they have bent over backwards in order to make me a satisfied customer. Sherwood Park Dodge definitely has my recommendation and continued patronage. Thank you Willie, for all you’ve done. I am one happy girl!!!
Shawn and Jessica December 20, 2010 at 11:18 am: One word… awesome. thanks so much to Mark Riemann for helping us get our new to us GMC Sierra 2500hd. He was so helpful and very polite. Never once did i feel pressured into anything. Thanks again for everything.
Nathan and Cassandra Matichuk January 18, 2011 at 9:10 pm: Up until recently my wife and I were the (not so) proud owners of an old beater ’98 Ford Escort. It was a reliable vehicle for the most part, in that it got us from A to B, but it didn’t have much in the way of creature comforts, and was definitely not roomy enough for us and our ever growing family.
We shopped around for awhile, convinced we could afford nothing good, until we noticed the wonderfully low price on 2010 Grand Caravans. We shopped around at a few dealerships, Sherwood Park Dodge being one of them, but ultimately settled on a dealer closer to home. The staff were friendly enough and the price was good (if a bit tight for our budget) so we started to get serious.
Just then we got a call from Ryan Cheyne over at Sherwood Dodge who bent over backwards to try and get us the best deal possible. His dedication to customer service and to getting us the best bang for our buck won us over and so we made the switch to Sherwood Park Dodge and we decided to buy our Dodge Grand Caravan from them.
The process was extremely smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful, everyone from the cashier Jacinda Beckham, the finance guys Rod Sullivan and Matt Lakusta, the sales manager Martin Seifert, and especially our sales consultant Ryan Cheyne. All were professional and personable and made the purchase of our first new vehicle such a pleasure. We will definitely be recommending Ryan at Sherwood Dodge to our friends and family.
jennifer Pipke January 20, 2011 at 2:28 am: I just got a jeep patriot and love it… The experience was amazing…I just want to thank Dyrrel Campbell and Jay Lynn for all there help! I would send any one I know to Sherwood park Dodge.

They are really top notch people and are truly authentic people who care about you , your purchase and your credit needs.

I love my new ride and I see you all in 5 to 7 yrs when its time for something new again.

I have no hesitations about sending friends and family to sherwood park dodge , I know they’ll be well cared for!!

Tracey and Cory February 7, 2011 at 11:51 pm: After having the WORST experience EVER at two Jeep dealerships in the west end of Edmonton, we made our way to Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep at our LAST attempt to a buy a Jeep. We knew exactly what we wanted so we walked to the reception desk and in no less than two minutes after the
call for a sales associate was made did Keith Bedard come strolling over to us ready to help. After hearing our story about our dealings with the other dealerships and perhaps the desperation in my voice to get my husband into his own vehicle and out of mine…. Keith made every attempt to make sure from that point on we were taken care of. I was so confident in Keith that I left my husband at the dealership and went to work without any worry that the best deal was going to be done and he wouldn’t leave my husband vehicle-less
waiting on the curb outside the showroom for me to come pick him up at the end of the day.

If you want it DONE RIGHT and without any stupid games that other dealerships like to play then head to Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep and ask for KEITH BEDARD.

Huge thanks for the exceptional service Keith !

Brenda Behrens April 3, 2011 at 11:27 am: I was invited to your dealership by my Daughter & Son-in-Law who just had a wonderful experience there buying a 2011 Dodge Ram so they took me to their salesman Ron Blonar and I dealt with Matt Lakusta for financing and had one of the most pleasant car buying experience in my life. Ron made the whole experience, pleasant, painless and quick. I ended up with exactly what was on my wish list and want list as far as options are concerned. Ron is a wonderful and caring salesman and knows exactly how to treat and deal with customers and I will recommend both your dealership, Ron and Matt. Matt was also efficient and informative and quick and good with customers. It was all done in one day. I am very happy with my 2o11 Dodge Journey.
Brenda Behrens April 3, 2011 at 11:52 am: Within a week of purchasing my new 2011 Dodge Journey, I picked up a long bungee cord on the highway. This cord hooked into my front tire, whipped around, broke my side mirror (the glass) and chipped some paint. I drove directly to your service bay where I was greeted by Chuck Albers. I was close to tears and Chuck dealt with me with kid gloves and walked me to the service bay and dealt with my car right away. I bought my car from Ron Blonar so I went to see if he was in but Eddie Yehia was in and I was very upset and Eddie as well dealt with me wonderfully I told Eddie what happened and that I was on the way to an appointment when I picked up this cord and he went to see Ashley Rodnunsky to get me a rental vehicle. Both Ashley & Eddy did all they could to get me a vehicle and get me on my way quickly while Chuck was dealing with my injured Journey. When I returned the rental, Chuck was right there again and walked me to pay the bill for the injured Journey and then walked me to the body shop to talk to the Manager about getting the body repaired and Chuck even walked me to my car. My whole experience was made better by all these people and they way they deal with customers and how they are so knowledgeable about their jobs. Hats off to Chuck Albers, Ashley, Eddy to making my horrible bungee cord experience very smooth and also made me feel better about everything.
shannon & Paul May 14, 2011 at 8:13 am: In December, my b/f and I were looking for a reliable vehicle for me to get to work..it’s a LONG commute!
We had shopped around at other dealerships and not happy with the selection.
When we got to Sherwood Park Dodge, it was Brad Macdonald who greeted us with a warm smile and welcoming demenor. He even let Buttercup, our skateboarding bulldog board in the showroom!
We had seen a couple of quality cars, but it was the Pontiac Torrent that I fell in love with. Brad made it a really relaxing experience with the purchase and made sure everything was good enough.
I have enjoyed driving my car and rave about Brad and Sherwood Park Dodge. I have sent a couple of my friends to you guys as I do not recommend something I do not back 110%.
Very much satisfied!!

Sincerely,

Hard to satisfy
Birgit Schnee June 15, 2011 at 6:42 pm: Greetings Sherwood Park Dodge

I don’t usually write reviews about a busniness but this time I really thought Sherwood Park Dodge deserved a pat on the back. First I would like to thank Jesse for excellent customer service, he managed to keep in touch without being pushy. I had a few credit related problems but Jesse never gave up on me. Once I got my credit problems all straightened out I went into Sherwood Park Dodge and told Jesse exactly what I wanted in a vehicle and things I really wasn’t interested in getting ( all the expensive options that I would never use anyway). Jesse totally came through for me…..he got me a 2011 Jeep Compass. He had to go to a different dealership to get it but was no problem for him. I would also like to mention that Jesse is NOT your average pushy car salesman…….he totally respected my wishes in everything. This was the best experience I’ve had in a long time dealing with a car dealership. I have to admit I’ve had some bad experiences with other Dodge, Jeep Dealers.
This is my second business transaction with Sherwood Park Dodge, and I thought the first one went really smooth but this one was even better. Thank You so much for the great customer service and treating me like a human being instead of a dollar sign.
I guarantee you I will be back next time I’m looking for a vehicle and also I will send all my friends your way.

Thank You
Birgit Schnee
William June 18, 2011 at 1:01 pm: So many can be quick to criticize but so few will take the time to say thank you ,I bought a 300 C a month ago and the only thing I feel bad about is taking so long to say thank you to “MARK MAGUIRE’ and his lovely family that I also hade a chance to meet. I went to one Chrysler dealership because I knew I wanted another one and it was the same place I bought my last one but found my salesperson was younger then my shoes and at another was a fast talker who figurer sales pitches would work on ME –NOT– so in frustration I said one more then look at something different so I went to Sherwood Park even though I live in Edmonton and was Very lucky to find
Mark Maguire a gentleman I bought a car from in the past and a great person “like most Newfoundlanders and this coming from a Cape Bretoner lol Joke .
AGAIN thank you Mark for your great service yet again
Till me meet again all the best to you and yours

Craig Supernault July 15, 2011 at 1:07 pm: Just wanted to thank all the great staff (especially William Cudmore) for their assistance in the purchase of our 2010 challenger. After shopping around for camaros as a first year anniversary gift for us I checked out the challenger line up at your dealership with the guidance of “Willie” and found it to be everything my wife and I were looking for…and more. I do make a few online purchases from time to time but nothing as large as a car, and Willie had a very informative no pressure demeanor which was so welcome. I hope you all never change the way you conduct business and to anyone thinking of buying a new vehicle I highly reccomend Sherwood park Dodge. And by the way I love the radio ads Mr. Held…its good to know there can be honesty in business
Crystal and Colin Stewart September 16, 2011 at 12:21 pm: I just have to say that dealing with Mark Maguire was a great experience. My husband and I drove to Edmonton on the idea of purchasing a truck. We drove into a few places in our 1996 Ford Escort and when we did find a salesperson or chase one down, they were very cold and seemed too busy. I presume they seen what we were driving and just assumed. When we drove into your dealership this guy comes over before we were even out of the car and introduced himself as Mark and asked us what he could do for us. At first we had it in our heads he was just telling us what we wanted to hear (typical sales) but the more he talked the more we realized he was sincere in his words. Both he and Ashley (in finance) worked very hard for us. Us being from the east coast up until 6 years ago have been working very hard to build our credit and get a loan for a truck. They both by their hard work gave us the opportunity to do just that. Both Colin and I are very thankful for what you both did. You probably will never know how thankful we are. You guys are not only good at your job, but you are good people, sincere people. Anyonee would be crazy to go anywhere else to buy a vehicle. We will recommend Sherwood Dodge and Mark Maguire to whomever we hear of that is going to buy a vehicle. Thank you so much.
Colin and Crystal
Martin R September 25, 2011 at 8:51 am: Recently my wife was looking for a vehicle and saw a Sebring the she feel in love with. As our family has bought 2 vehicles from Ron Blonar in the last six months, she knew who to talk to. Ron as usual was very quick and helpful to get all the paperwork done up for her. We will recommend Dodge and Ron to anyone. Thank you Ron for all your caring and kindness. I have a happy wife.
Stacey November 22, 2011 at 5:39 pm: Hello again,
I know I posted a comment already, but I cany resist another one! Now that I have bought my jeep (thank you Brad-I LOVE it;) I had to make another visit to sh pk dodge to get my block heater cord fixed as discussed before I bought the jeep. Once again, sh pk dpdge was very helpful and no need for me to worry about a thing! Going there is not like any other dealership and there is no need to try and get what’s promised, twisted words or ‘now it’s your problem’. It’s unheard of for a girl going into a dealership alone and not to be taken advantage of, and I can tell you my family was shocked to find out I was treated fairly and can’t think of anything that could have been better. It’s pretty cool to walk in the doors and have quite a few of the crew say hi and use your name! thanks again everyone, especially Brad!!, I know where I’m going when it’s time for a another vehicle!! But not for a while-my Jeep is perfect:)
Chad Behiels February 22, 2012 at 12:51 am: Scott, since the days of Saturn of Edmonton South my business and family have enjoyed the relationship we’ve both worked hard to achieve. Unfortunately Saturn disappeared as well as one of our most praised accounts but I’m happy to say, you will always have my family and customers to continue that relationship with. We send numerous referrals to you both with service as well as sales. As you can imagine our business image is reflected in these referrals as well and to date our image is very positive as a result.

Since Sherwood Dodge’s opening we’ve purchased numerous vehicles and more recently two Dodge Ram Longhorn 3500′s which we absolutely love. Keith Bedard is an outstanding salesman and manager. My wife still enjoys her Nitro R/T and will be looking at another vehicle for her in due time. Keith has sold me personally four units over the past few years and we will continue to use him in the future.

I feel that some of the other dealers are losing that “one on one” methodology however I’m glad you haven’t. People want to feel special when buying a vehicle and as they should. For most their vehicle is the second if not the first largest investment they’ll ever make. Treating them like numbers and pushing them out the door is not how to conduct business, especially with today’s competition in the Automotive industry. Making a fast buck today doesn’t bode well for tomorrow.

We like how Sherwood Dodge still feels like Saturn South did. It was a warm place that didn’t leave you thinking you’ve been robbed. Our business saw first hand conducting Saturn’s used vehicle inspections on the product that was sold and the people behind it. Sherwood Dodge hasn’t changed that, well done!

Just thought I’d comment on your business from one Automotive dealer to another and look forward to conducting future business with you!

Way to go SWPD!
Scott Held February 22, 2012 at 3:47 pm: Thank you for your kind words Chad.
Cory & Shannon February 25, 2012 at 9:46 pm: My husband and I just purchased a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 from Sherwood Park Dodge, and it was a fantastic experience! It was Brad McDonald that had worked with us on our purchase of our very first brand new vehicle. He was straight forward and honest with us about everything from beginning to end. He made sure that he kept in contact with us throughout, and went above and beyond to get us through the entire process without a hitch! When it was time for us to finalize the process, Brad was on an obviously well deserved day off. But even then, he made sure he put us in touch with one of his trustworthy, and hard working colleagues, Aaron.

While getting through the final steps, Brad was still texting Aaron to make sure that everything went smooth for us, even on his day off! Brad made us feel important, and that he truly cared about taking very good care of us.

Aaron got us through our final steps, and we drove home in our new truck that night. Brad took the time to text me that night to congratulate us, and to offer his helping hand with whatever we might need.

I just want to say, that the service we received was beyond amazing! I would be more than willing to send anyone to see Brad. I don’t want to leave Aaron out though. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without both of you! Thank you so much, to both of you!
Nicole Whitaker May 10, 2012 at 11:24 am: Good morning,

I just wanted to give a BIG thank you to Brad McDonald and the rest of the staff at Sherwood Park Dodge. My husband, Andrew, and I just picked up our new 2012 Ram 1500 Sport last night – and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the service we received.

We started looking for a new vehicle a couple months ago, and knew we wanted to get a truck. We test drove a few different makes, but as soon as Andrew drove the Ram he knew that was the truck for him. We initially drove the truck at another Dodge dealership in Edmonton, and were very unhappy with the service we received at that dealership. We had made it clear from the beginning that we were still only looking, but were really pressured to buy the day we test drove, and the following day with the “I can make you a deal but it’s only good for today” pitch. That was not the experience we wanted to have at all.

A colleague of my husband’s suggested we go to Sherwood Park Dodge, and recommended Brad McDonald as someone to go and see. As soon as we got to Sherwood Park Dodge and met Brad, we knew this was the experience we were looking for. Brad was honest with us, showed us exactly what we wanted to see, and didn’t try to “sell” us on anything. When it was clear that the exact truck that my husband wanted wasn’t on the lot, instead of pressuring us to take something else, Brad suggested we order from the factory – that way we could have everything we want and nothing that we don’t. He took his time and went through line by line of all the features and explained the benefits of including some things and not including others.

I know this is going to sound corny, but I felt “safe” working with Brad – I knew he wasn’t trying to rip us off, or sell us something we didn’t want. Brad was great answering all my questions while we waited for the truck to come in.

The truck arrived yesterday (way earlier than expected, which was another bonus), and we came out after work to pick it up. Brad was super busy, but never made us feel like we were in the way or wasting time. We took the truck for a quick spin, and waited to sign the paperwork. We worked with Jason Hill, who was really great as well. The actual signing of the paperwork was so painless – Jason had everything ready, went through the details with us carefully, and was super friendly. We left the dealership feeling so happy with our purchase and very grateful for the service we received.

From the first minute we stepped into Sherwood Park Dodge, everyone made us feel welcome. From the receptionists to the various staff asking if we were looked after or if we needed anything, the whole experience at your dealership was exactly what we were hoping for. I will DEFINITELY recommend Sherwood Park Dodge to anyone I know that is looking for a vehicle, and can’t wait to come back and get something new for me – now that Andrew has his new truck!

Thanks again,
Nicole
