Is www.promoautoservice.com a Dealership or Third Party company ?

Looking at buying a m3 and thought I'd ask for some opinions here in the forums..I saw this on a website called www.promoautoservice.com. Their name is Promo Auto Service Depot. The reason for asking here is that I am afraid of the usual hidden dealers taxes or anything wrong may happen with a company of this kind...

I personally purchased an audio system trough this company. They presented the total amount from the begin which included the shipping fees. I paid the amount agreed, nothing more or less. I have used this company as a third party because I wasn't able to collect the system by myself. Honestly, I don't know if the things run the same on a car purchase. They have been pretty straight from the begin. I don't see why would they lie to you, especially on the fees.

If there is an signed agreement/contract/invoice/bill of sale between you and this company/dealership, things should be clear enough for the both parties.

I always like to do things like this face to face and so I avoid getting in the middle of something I would later regret. Looking at this company's ratings and reviews I believe it's genuine. Also judging from what his company offers (7 days inspection policy, pre-delivery inspection, buyer protection etc.) I think it may worth a try.

Had a great car buying experience from beginning until the end for buying my first truck. Would recommend www.promoautoservice.com to anyone!

Promo Auto Service Depot offers you an invoice and bill of sale signed and stamped by Promo Auto Service Depot and www.promoautoservice.com. I know that because I have purchased a tractor trough them. The deal went smoothly without any troubles. I would recommend Promo Auto Service Depot to anyone who doesn't like to travel long distances. I like and always encourage the idea of seeing in person what you're buying, especially over the Internet, but when it comes to travel more than 2-300 miles to buy something, in my opinion, Promo Auto Service Depot is the best option. The number one reason for using this service is that you can run/test/inspect the item/vehicle for 7 days and have the opportunity to return it at no cost for you as a buyer. I didn't had to use this policy on my tractor because it was pretty much as described. All in one, I am happy with my purchase trough this company. I highly recommend them to anyone.
