Kelvin A. 2009I had the opportunity of going through the loan process for a new vehicle. The process was made smooth, clear, and concise, as well as done in a timely manner, with assistance of a very professional loan officer. The details of the process were explained to allow me to make good decisions that contributed to a happy outcome for both sides.
