McDavid Acura Plano Wins "Best in Class for Exotics"

September 10, 2017

 
Carl Dehls, our NSX Service Specialist attended the 4th Annual Keller Williams Preferred Coppell Car Show and represented the David McDavid Acura Plano team and guess what, we won an award. We have been honored to receive recognition for "Best in Class for Exotics." We also brought the all-new 2017 Acura NSX and it was a hit!

The event was fun but also for a good community cause. All proceeds benefit Coppell High School Solar Racing Team, which encourages the students to be active in S.T.E.M subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics).

"There's no feeling better than to be able to give back to the community where we live and work. We are so honored to be hosting this event for the fourth year in a row. And just as this event has grown year over year, so has the money we've been able to donate to the Coppell High School Solar Racing Team," said Maria Di Poce, team leader of Keller Williams DFW Preferred

We Truly Appreciate Our Loyal Customers and Wanted to Share a Letter We Received from Tina Bussell

"Five stars in every category!!! I have used this dealer/service dept. since 2004! I have NEVER had a bad experience. They care! We are always treated wonderful! They repair our vehicle "the first time". (BMW Plano cannot say this)! Every department is superb! This last experience Jordan went above and beyond to help us with an issue from Acura Oklahoma City. She did not have to do this for us! She was wonderful!! We have never been told, your car is old -let it go! They simply reiterate the quality and longevity of Acura. You get every penny out of purchasing an Acura! And then some! Our Acura is now 13 years old!! And still looks good and runs great! They put us in a complimentary vehicle while ours was being service. They call promptly to give you an estimate, even emailing me the best detailed outline of service in the order of importance. That is helpful because I often find it difficult to accurately relay the service information to my husband. This also allows me to plan repairs my car may need going forward. Most important they share concern for our son's safety on the road when recommending service for his car. I have NEVER felt taken advantage of or felt they were trying to get us to agree to unnecessary work costing us more money. We have NEVER had to wait for a service provider to help us. They are always easy to reach when I have questions. 

One service member drove a loan vehicle to my son and I when stranded while we waited for a tow truck! He was officially off the clock. He cared enough to help! This time was no different. Jordan stepped up and made several calls on our behave to help! Acura listened, cared and helped. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this dealership/service provider!!!!!! Perfect 10 !!!!!!!!"

~ Tina Bussell & Brendan Bussell (2003 Acura MDX)
