Magnificent time. This week I bought my first car from this dealership. Glad Tobbie could help me find something in my budget and what I was looking for. Thanks to David for the assist at the end finishing paperwork. They stayed late for me to make sure I could take it home that day. Thanks again guys.

This place was fantastic! It provided a great experience for me, as it was my first time buying a used car in the US. In particular, Jordan Schmaltz, who assisted me, was an excellent and very friendly employee. His bright smile and kindness made my experience at Shaheen even better. Thank you for the great deal! :)

Response from owner

Thank you for the wonderful review and for choosing Shaheen! We are glad you had a five-star experience working with Salesman Jordan.

I had an amazing experience buying my first car, and I can't thank Jordan enough for making the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient in answering all of my questions. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect car within my budget. The entire process felt stress-free, and I left with a car I absolutely love! Highly recommend Jordan and the team at Shaheen Chevrolet for anyone looking for a great car-buying experience.

Dave Hanna did a great job finding a vehicle for my daughter, he was patient and took his time to get exactly what she wanted and explained her first buying experience. She was very excited and appreciated all he did for her as was I. If anyone wants a great sales professional I recommend Dave Hanna.

After my boyfriend had a terrible buying experience at Graff of Okemos, I decided to look at other Chevy dealers in the Lansing area. This is my first time buying a car and Tobbie Lansdell has been the biggest help in answering all of my questions (I have a LOT of them) and has been the most patient and helpful person in explaining everything to me. Not once was he ever pushy or made me feel pressured in any way, shape, or form. He even was willing to stay after closing time on a Friday to ensure I had a proper test drive and walked through the vehicle features with me (I never had a car newer than 2011 and had no idea how any of the features worked). This spoke volumes since I do not live in the area and even after I told him I could come back another Friday, he made sure I felt taken care of and knew what I was going to get for buying the Trax I had my eye on. Even after I signed all the papers and paid the deposit, he reached out to me and asked if I was enjoying my new car and took the time to answer all of my questions then too. I cannot recommend Shaheen or Tobbie enough and will 100% be coming back for future purchases!

Response from owner

Thank you for the wonderful review of Tobbie at Shaheen! We are glad you had an excellent car-buying experience and we hope you're loving the new Trax!

Trista Garza

Vast recognition to Jordan & Sierra for making my experience with Shaheen was very quick, easy, and straightforward. As a first time buyer I had a lot of questions, Jordan was very patient and knowledgeable he took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and walk me through the buying process. He didn't make me feel like I had to buy anything extra/unnecessary. When it came time for financing Sierra did a great job at simplifying all the information within the financing paperwork, she was also great with letting my baby bang on everything in her office haha. I will most definitely be referring friends & family to Jordan and Sierra!

Response from owner

Hello Trista, we are grateful to hear you joined the Shaheen family and had a five-star experience here! Sierra and Jordan will appreciate the positive review! Thank you for your business.

From beginning to end, my experience with Shaheen Chevrolet was professional and seamless. Zack made the experience for this first time car owner a very positive one as he was friendly and accommodating throughout. He really went above and beyond, and I’ll be keeping Shaheen in mind the next time I or someone I know is in need of a vehicle!

Response from owner

Hello Matt, thank you for leaving a great five-star review of Shaheen and Zack! Enjoy your new vehicle!

Raven Baugh

I had a wonderful experience with Richie! I was a first-time buyer, and he answered all my questions, helped me with my documents, was very patient with me, was extremely accommodating, and delivered the vehicle. Really above and beyond! I understand why my friends recommended Shaheen. The customer service was fantastic, and the office had a good atmosphere (friendliness and care from the moment I got to the door and through the process). They worked to find me the best rate, were very straightforward about options and alternatives, and more. Car was also very clean and ran well. Highly recommend and very excited to have my first car (Subaru club)!

Response from owner

Raven, congratulations on your Subaru! Thank you for bringing your business to Richie Schultz and the Shaheen team. We truly appreciate the five stars and your feedback about having such a positive experience!

Just purchased my first ever car from shaheen. I’ve been struggling for months to get a new car jumping back and forth between different dealerships and I ended up at shaheen with Ken. He was nothing but amazing with helping me get this 2016 Ford Fusion. I’m absolutely in love with this car and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Thank you Karlie for the 5 star review!

I had a very pleasant experience buying my first car from a dealership. They walked me through the process and were very helpful with getting my payment within my budget. I went in nervous because I had no idea what to expect and I left grinning ear to ear in my new car that I already love so much. Thank you Roger for finding me my car and thank you to Tad and Ryan for going above and beyond to work with me and my budget.

Thank you Martha for the 5 star review! We appreciate the recommendation of our sales team, thank you for choosing Shaheen.

Everyone I worked with at Shaheen was great and answered any questions I had or explained each step of the car buying process for me so I was not confused. I was purchasing my first new car and Shaheen offered an experience that eased any anxiety I had prior to coming in and purchasing a vehicle. I am very happy with the vehicle I purchased and with the help I received from Reuben with finding a vehicle and getting everything figured out with my trade-in as well.

Response from owner

Thank you Anna for the 5 star review! We are happy Reuben could help you with your vehicle needs.

Jason Marquardt

My daughter was shopping for her first "on her own" car. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot, Sierra came out to greet us with a smile. Throughout the process, she was very thoughtful, helpful, and knowledgeable. My daughter has trouble making decisions and Sierra was very patient and understanding. She even went the extra mile to help us demo a vehicle for comparison that was not even for sale yet! Finally, Jim in finance was terrific as usual and took the extra time to explain everything to my daughter in terms she could understand. Would definitely buy from Shaheen and Sierra again!

Response from owner

Thank you Jason for the 5 star review! We appreciate your daughters business! Sierra is an excellent team member, we are thankful she was able to meet your vehicle needs.

Dylan was absolutely wonderful! He made sure we understood the process and was very kind and honest throughout. As my first car buying experience, I have no complaints and would recommend! Also, Ryan deserves a new printer. He was very funny and straightforward, but his printer was holding on for life and deserves to be retired (and replaced).

Response from owner

Thank you Rachael for the positive 5 star review! We appreciate your business and are thankful you had a wonderful experience, transparency with customers is our top priority.

Richie took the time and effort needed to find the perfect car for me, and allowed me to test drive all the cars I wanted. Ryan and Mike were very helpful and took the time to understand my purchase. Thank you again, and if you’re looking for an easy, genuinely great car buying experience, go to Shaheen Chevrolet!

I expected a lot better. I had an appointment with Hayden i think his name was and when i walked in Brent Cram decided to work with me instead. And when we sat down Brent started to ask me question and it felt like an interrogation. He was rude, unprofessional, talking about how bad his kids are and made car shopping super stressful. He tried to take advantage of a kid who was buying his first new car. also He kept telling me how much he doesn't car if i buy a vehicle or not and it was super rude. I wish Hayden would have been my salesmen like the original plan. The one time i did talk to Hayden he was super nice and respectful. offered me coffee and water and was super respectful. I'm not rating Shaheen 1 star because I'm sure they have a lot nicer salesmen, I'm rating my salesman Brent 1 star. Go to Feldman... They are a lot more friendly and don't interrogate people.

Response from owner

This was my first time buying a brand new vehicle. I shopped around at different places, but I received the best service at Shaheen. I don't like being hounded, especially when you are making a major decision like this you need time and space to think about it. My choice was easy! I came back within a day because I was not getting pushy phone calls, had all my questions answered, and was made to feel comfortable and confident with my purchase. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family. Thank you to the sales person Adrian Willemse for making this first time car buying experience a great one for me!
