An e-mail from another satisfied Kabani Auto customer. October 2010

To: Jim,  Kabani Auto Consultant

From: Allan Prochuk

Thanks Jim. We have a lot for confidence in Toyotas, having owned 2 Corollas in the past and our current trusty Echo. The Matrix is the most well-equipped Toyota we've ever owned and we're excited about getting it on the road heading south to Mexico in a few weeks. We thank you for your excellent service, quite different in a very excellent way, from our previous car-buying experiences. In fact, we have already mentioned you guys to a few friends. I must say thought, that I am a bit puzzled by the pristine condition of the motor, given that it has gone 93K kms! The hoses, electrical, battery, everything  looks virtually new! I checked the fluids and I have never seen oil or transmission fluid cleaner in any car!! Certainly, we're happy with our purchase and glad we've got such a substantial vehicle in such excellent to take us south!!

Thanks again, Allan & Heather.

Jim's response to Allan & Heather inquiry about the almost unbelievable pristine condition:

Hi Allan & Heather!

The Matrix has been cleaned, polished, and serviced by our team. Rob, who you can view on our website (http://www.kabaniauto.com) is responsible for the new look, Eduaardo does the service prior to sale. All just part of the Kabani car buying experience. Glad to have helped.

Jim

Dear Kabani Auto,

Re: An excellent buying experience at Kabani Auto

 

On August 21, 2010, I saw an advertisement for a 2006 Nissan Murano at your dealership. That day I took the vehicle for a test drive, and bought that afternoon.

Your manager, Lal, was excellent to deal with. Contrary to all stereotypes of used car salesmen, he was respectful, honest, and professional.

When it came time to negotiate a price, I made what I felt was a fair offer, and he got approval for the deal within 5 minutes. It was very relaxing to avoid the typical negotiation tactics.

Because the sale was made same day, I did not have a chance to have a vehicle inspection done beforehand. Lal was so confident in the quality of the vehicle, he promised to take care of any major repairs it required even after the purchase was complete. True to his word, the next week, he had his mechanic replace worn belts & a leaky seal indicated by the inspection report without any hesitation.

In the subsequent 3.5 months the vehicle has driven perfectly and I love it.

My entire experience with Kabani was fantasic, and I would buy from you again without hesitation, as well as recommend anyone I know to do so.

 

Sincerely,

Grant Quail

Burnaby, BC
