I had reached out to Kelsey Smith and told her what I was looking for. She worked countless hours and went above and beyond. Just when I thought things weren’t going to work out she came to me and told me that things in fact did. I’ve never … More had anyone go to such lengths to help me get something I really wanted in the car industry. Seriously, would recommend. Due to unfortunate timing I wasn’t able to purchase the car and so she closed the file and we parted ways.A few weeks after she reached out to me seeing if we could give it another shot. She again went above and beyond to help me. The fact that she thought to even check in with me again made me feel cared for. There was no obligation to buy from her and no pressure. Very kind, reliable and over all good at her job. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Best service I’ve seen.Thank you Kelsey Smith for your amazing hard work and dedication. -

I'm someone who asks a lot of questions. In past situations I'm left with the answer, 'I don't know'. Not here! I spoke with a nice women at the front, I believe her name was Britney. Take note of her name!!! She … More went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information I needed! She answered all of my questions and even gave me additional information such as other recourses to better answer a certain question. I was beyond satisfied and very happy with my experience. Britney was patient with me and thorough when answering my questions and providing information.The overall atmosphere was friendly, relaxed and genuine. If you have a dog they welcome them with open arms! Britney offered to watch my dog so I could use the washroom alone which I found considerate.There's dog beds in the waiting room and the employees there are thrilled to see your pet. I love any place that welcomes dogs because I love to bring mine everywhere! -

Grade A servicing!I had an amazing experience with Andy Norman, not only has he looked into my personal interests but he also considered my family as a whole. He was able to conger up a deal where he got myself behind the wheel of a 2016 … More Hyundai Accent SE with low KM’s! Will definitely recommend this dealer too everyone, especially in particular people that are looking for a legitimate “2nd Chance” to increase credit ratings. I myself found it hard to shop for a vehicle, but Andy made it fun and stress free as he worked so hard to do so. You need to check this place out! Very friendly environment.Thank you 2nd Chance Auto! Keep up the amazing work as I experienced. -

We met Andy Norman about 10 yrs ago. We didn't have great credit at the time. Instead of putting us into a vehicle we couldn't afford he gave us a choice of a couple different vehicles. For a few years we paid a higher interest, … More but with Andy's help we went from 29% down to 4.99%! To date we have bought 4 cars from him.We joke that we have "stocked" him wherever he worked, but the simple facts are we trust him because he knows his stuff, he is honest he'll tell you exactly as it is no nonsense just to sell a vehicle and most importantly will not put you in a vehicle he knows you won't be able to afford, unlike some of the bigger dealerships who sadly are more concerned with a sale as opposed to the customers needs.We unfortunately were not able to purchase our last vehicle from him, only because they were not able to offer the length of time (term) we needed for the loan, but he did make some suggestions to help us out! We have been in this dealership though and everyone we met were friendly and attentive as soon as they see you. -

Extremely impressed.Applied @ a couple of places for a car/loan.Several offers however nothing close to what 2nd Chance/Kelsey offered me.Received a call from a competitor saying they will beat whatever 2nd chance offered me.so I checked … More 2nd chances competitor out, waited a hour for someone to talk to me, and with a lot full of over 200 cars, they were not able to approve me for a decent car (used corolla, civic etc.) and payments/interest rate that would be affordable for me.The dealership manager then came up to me and in a true car salesman form indicated there is no way that 2nd Chance offered me the deal they did, "Its implossible", he stated to go to 2nd chance, see if they will actually honor it and was confident I would be back/stating he would see me tomorrow.So I then took the competitors shuttle to 2nd chance auto (I may have lied and said I was going to my girlfriends)I was greeted with Kelsey, all the paperwork was ready to go, a couple signatures and I was in and out, and had my car that day.People tend to post reviews when they have a negative experience, however it is important to appreciate when a company exceeds your expectations.Highly recommendedThanks Kelsey/2nd chance auto 10/10 -

I was searching for a new car, and had heard of Second Chance Auto through word-of-mouth. I met with Bob and Kelsey to discuss my wants and needs, specifically looking for a white Dodge Challenger (with a laundry list of options), and even … More though they did not have one in their inventory, they set to work to find one. Kelsey arranged a preapproved loan, and since I am in the military, posted to Kingston, anytime I had questions, she was available day and night on her personal cellphone! I have owned more than a dozen vehicles and I have never met a person in the used car industry that has worked as hard or tirelessly as Kelsey did to help me find my dream car! We found the car at a dealership on a Monday and on Friday I drove off the Second Chance lot in my new white Challenger! I cannot thank Kelsey enough, and there are no words that could possibly do justice to how dedicated she was to putting me in my car. Over the course of a month, she found numerous cars, but she knew they were not the right ones for me. But once we found the exact car I was looking for, she made absolutely certain that I would be driving that car by the weekend. She even arranged a new insurance provider that cost $60 a month less than the broker I had been with for almost 10 years!Even after I bought the car, she has been available day and night to answer any questions I have had.If you ever see this, thank you Kelsey for everything! I would recommend you to anybody who asks me about buying a car. You’re the best!! -

Best customer service of any dealership I've been to! Their sales team is always helpful whenever you have questions about any part of buying a car or what to choose.I worked with Kelsey to get into a car and get back on track. I had … More issues with my car in the beginning but they were more than willing to help me out with what was wrong. Got to take it to a shop of my own choosing closest to me.Have come a long way since then and would recommend to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. If you find a car I bet they can get it and for a better deal!I've been to the dealership a few times now and am always greeted with the biggest smiles. If you want friendly service go see Kelsey or Bob at second chance.Ps they have a puppy there 99% of the time... who doesn't love cars and dogs. ;)Highly recommend! -

“the way car buying should be” for sure! the best car dealership experience i have had, with one exception. Jorge was my salesman and he was spectacular. he was patient with me while i drug him up and down the aisles of cars, not exactly … More sure what i was looking for. once i found out, he provided speedy service getting my old car appraised, getting the papers needed for the new car, and took his time explaining anything i had questions about. staff in the customer service area (i think what it is called? right side when you walk in) was incredibly funny and very personable both times i went. great experience overall. no complaints at all here! -

Kelsey was a great with helping us find exactly what we were looking for.
