Report
After being quoted an exorbitant amount at the dealership, and reading countless reviews of competitors, I finally decided to go with Southwest Auto. I am so happy I did.
5 star service from beginning to end. They provide a video of issues before starting work in your car. They even provided Uber transportation to the airport for me to pick up a rental since all their rentals were out. They explained everything from beginning to end, gave me heads up on upcoming service, and prioritized repairs so I could make informed decisions. I will service my Volvo here moving forward

I bought a 2015 Ford Edge from this dealer beginning of may. Within 2 weeks of having it the front left tire started wobbling. I took it to ford dealership, they had the car lifted finding the problem. They called me back in and kept the vehicle lifted so I could see, the whole bottom of my car is completely rusted as if it was sitting in standing water for a long period of time. Tires could not be aligned completely because of how much rust & damage it would cause. I tried contacting southwest 3 times. Nobody has returned my calls.

11/2020: Helpful, understanding, and respectful. I never felt pressured even once while looking and surprised myself by driving home a new vehicle. Make sure to ask for Jason! 6/2022 Update: There is something to be said about a service center that goes above and beyond to make you feel completely informed about what is going on with your vehicle and what steps can be taken to solve the issue(s). Hands down the best at transparency and I love that! You will never go wrong chosing Southwest.

I would've given a higher rating but I messaged multiple times about tire pressure monitors for the car and the last couple messages I received no response. I understand the car is used but I would still appreciate the respect of a yes or no answer.
