Staff were great and informative. Easy Process ! Car was in good condition ! Ashley G and Stephen S were great handling questions and explaining everything
very easy and relaxed experience. Kenneth Schmitz, delivery coordinator, was extremely helpful and professional and he beat the financing rate which I had obtained. Well done.
Online I can’t search by 3rd row. This is a very common search and your website is frustrating because you can’t select this as a feature.
This was my first time buying a car and the experience was everything I had hoped for. I thoroughly enjoyed all the staff members I worked with. I appreciated that they don’t heckle you and let you make the decision without being pushy. Everyone was kind, courteous, and polite. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to enjoying my car for years to come!
My first car buying experience and I couldn’t be happier!! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Kirstyn who immediately welcomed us and explained everything right away to get us started. We were skeptical because I didn’t think I would get financing but Kirstyn passed us to Sage who was extremely helpful and did everything he could to get me approved. He explained everything and helped me understand things and guess what? That same day I drove out in my own new car. James got our keys and spruced up the car to be taken and also showed me how to use the keyless thing. Lol! Everything was so smooth and everyone was so welcoming and friendly I would definitely recommend Carrite to everyone who needs a car!!!!
If you're in the search for a car, don't waste your time going ANYWHERE else and that's coming from a first time dealership buyer, I'm used to private sales and being screwed over !! I started my search at carite late August.. upon walking in the door I was instantly greeted by kirstyn and James, directed to a circle table and given an inventory list along with directions to the lot. I was offered refreshments while waiting. Yosh quickly and kindly sanitized the car and got back to running around the lot.. at the time I only liked one of the cars on the lot, but it just wasn't what I wanted .. so I decided to try some other dealerships.. bad mistake.. I was poorly treated and rudely turned down .. something told me to try carite again as they were truly the only welcoming dealership I had been to where they had no problem answering questions and explaining everything in detail to you... Friday , October 9 I walked through the door around 4pm.. I wasn't just greeted by kirstyn and James, but I was welcomed back with a smile, directed to a round table and told about the snacks and beverages available in the back! After all this time, they still remembered me . Kirstyn gave me an inventory list and again gave me the run down on the lot. Jonelle asked if there were any vehicles I was interested in and after deciding she kindly got it prepared . Yosh once again quickly sanitized the car and told me I was ready for take off. After my test drive, I knew this was the car I wanted! The girls kindly directed me to Sage. Let me tell you, this man has patience! Things weren't looking good for me... I was asked to come back Saturday October 10.. I was ready to throw in the towel and give up.. butttt.. Sage reminded me that wasn't an option.. after almost having to choose another vehicle on the lot.. Sage and Kenny knew there was something they could do to make my dream come true. They worked their magic and by the end of the day I was signing my papers to pick up my car on Monday October 12. I now have my new car and I'm more than ecstatic. Through the different days and hours I was in and out of carite I have to say they are truly the most amazingly run dealership I have been to. Everyone was on their toes.. and everyone knew their stuff. Everything was so we'll coordinated and they really all made me feel like family. NOONE cared how many questions I had, how many times I had been, how many cars I made them look between for me.. everyone made the entire experience so pleasurable from start to finish. This will forever be my recommendation to anyone ! Thank you all for being soo great to me, most importantly.. thank you for not trying to sell me a car, but making sure I got the car I truly wanted! I will be back !

Kirstyn was very professional and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. She made the experience very easy and enjoyable. Great staff!!
This is the best dealership I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! They really care about YOU and not about making sales! The whole process of picking out your own car was so fun and stress free! Walking into Carite is like walking into a building full of your own friends, everyone is excited to see you and excited to ensure you have the best time possible with no pressure!! Kirsten, the greeter, is the most genuine and bubbly person and explains the process throughly and in a way someone understands, while Yoshi, their lot man, you can tell genuinely cares about every vehicle he pulls up for you to test drive! Both Ashley and Jonelle checked in with me when I got back from a test drive to offer me any other test drives and both a new girl Erica and the head man Shane made sure to make me comfortable offering snacks and drinks! I will be sure to always recommend Carite, because they are a whole new class of car buying where YOU are in charge!!
Kirstyn was amazing!!! She was so professional and courteous. Definitely ask for her! She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.
Purchasing my car from Carite could not have been easier! Thank you to Jonelle, James, Trina, Kristen, Ashley & Sean for walking me through the process & being so helpful!
Carite of Windsor Locks Ct does it the right way. No pressure, friendly knowledgeable service , great product. I havent found anyone who matches there prices. In my opinion hands down the best place to buy a used car. This is the second car I have purchased there. I told my girlfriend about my experience and she ended up also buying a car from Carite. A few people that I would like to thank at this facility. Kirstyn greeted me at the door and was there every step of the way. Anything I needed she either provided the friendly service or found the right person to get me what we needed. Kirstyn just seemed like someone who enjoys helping people and it shows. Then theres Joesh who takes care of the cars, you might want to call him the yard jockey. Another very warm friendly sole with a great attitude who makes you feel your needs are important. Last but not least there Tony and Dan who take care of the numbers / paperwork. Very knowledgeable and personable. The numbers are given to you right up front so you can relax and pick the right vehicle for you. Overall a great experience and I'd recommend Carite to family and friends. Well done guys
They were right there to greet us as soon as we walked in and got to the point right away. Cars were clean for test drives. Very friendly staff with accommodation. I would recommend the Carite.
