What a great experience! I had a breakdown on my f-250 about 240 miles from home. I had the vehicle towed to Twin State in St. Johnsbury on a Saturday afternoon. Note: This was a major repair. 25k. Nerve wracking going to a dealer I was not familiar with. From the very start I knew I was in good hands. Will , employee of Twin state, notified me of when the truck arrived to their lot and also let me know that I would be contacted first thing on Monday. Come Monday Clarissa took over. Absolutely amazing. Double her pay! She kept me updated through out the entire process from start to finish. Great communication, took the time explain certain items, and made me feel 100% confident in Twin State doing the job. I picked the vehicle up last week. Again, the staff was so genuinely courteous and professional. The repair was 100% complete and on time!!! I would highly recommend twin state. Fantastic employees means they have good leadership in a positive culture. Thank you again Twin State and kudos to Clarissa! End result is a very happy customer that will go to Twin State to purchase the next truck.
