What drivers say about Derek
“I went to Cox Chevy with the intention of simply seeing if the Silverado line of trucks was comfortable for me. I was ready to buy, but had no expectation of buying that day and I found a deal that was too good to pass up. Derek Besemer was a fantastic salesman and helped me greatly without being pushy or controlling whatsoever. In the past, I have stayed away from dealerships because of the stigma. Cox Chevy absolutely obliterated that stigma. I will absolutely be back to work with him again.”
“Derek helped me out finding a vehicle that fit my price range with a no pressure and very pleasurable sales experience.”
