I’m located in TN and there weren’t any dealers in my area that would actually offer the truck at the price they listed. I gave them a call and within a day they gave me three separate ways I could purchase the vehicle and made it super easy. Within two days we bought the vehicle and the next day it was delivered to our driveway in TN. Joshua made it super easy and was great to deal with! The floor mats were left out of the vehicle, as soon as I contacted them, they were literally shipped and delivered in two days! I can’t say enough good things about them!

If you don’t buy from Josh, you are really missing out on an enjoyable experience. There were times that I was almost in tears, but he put me at ease and if he says he will work for you, he really means he will work to get you in the best vehicle that meats all your needs and fits your budget perfectly.

He will go above and beyond to help you and your family. He's very honest and loyal to his customers..","rating":5,"date":null},{"customer_name":"Dustin Simpson","content":"This review is only reflective of my experience with Brandon Murphy, and not indictive of the dealership as a whole or any other members of their staff.Brandon was outstanding through the car buying experience. I was browsing online trade-in values for my vehicle that I wanted out of. Doing the KBB instant cash offer sent my info to Mclarty and Brandon received my info. Within ten minutes of texting he understood the type of buyer I was -> educated, meticulous, and patient. He brought options to me and worked to understand my \"Deal-breakers\" when it came to sourcing a potential vehicle (Large 4x4 SUV). After realizing the primary vehicle I was looking for was not available to them due to my strict requirements and limitations of the used vehicles they had onsite I just briefly mentioned another vehicle type(performance luxury sedan) that I was somewhat interested in but not overly motivated to source. He sent me 3 options within 15 minutes with Carfax listings for each. One quickly got my attention and we began discussing the small concerns I had. He got the answers quickly and I stopped by after work and inspected the vehicle and test drove it. We discussed some concerns I had on the vehicle after driving it, we briefly discussed trade in values again, and we started working out a deal over the next day and a half on that car. We managed to work out an agreement with my contingencies in place. Over the next two days I was updated on the fixes being planned, the servicing of the vehicle through the maintenance shop, and the final detailing of the car.Brandon was never once pushy, he never felt like he was trying to \"sell\" me a car, he acted as a Advocate/Liason for the entire purchase (which is my preferred sales technique since I'm also in sales) and gave me all the information I needed. The car sold itself and Brandon helped me navigate the used car managers pricing and trade in values. I sent him back a dozen times to get things changed and to add stipulations. Brandon never seemed annoyed, he respected my requirements, and never tried to talk me out of anything I specifically asked for. I think that attitude goes a long way for car buyers my age who want to be respected of their concerns and not invalidated by the \"expert\".Brandon will get a shot at every vehicle purchase I want to make in the future. You should give him a shot at yours. He is very responsive through text and gives you the space and time to make your own decisions.Thanks again Brandon. I'll bring the car by after I've finished building it out.","rating":5,"date":null},{"customer_name":"Ashley Liston","content":"We recently purchased a vehicle from McLarty Nissan of LR.

We had some snags, we had some differences but at the end of the day Joe got us exactly what we wanted for what we wanted to pay. I cannot praise his customer service enough. *Different note: the lobby/waiting area needs some updating. It all feels a little clinical like youre waiting at the VA for your name to be called.

Taylor, the technician, worked and studied HOURS to try and solve the issue. Vern would check in with me, while my vehicle was in service.
