We are long time customers at Rome Preowned because we always get excellent service and great vehicles for a good price. Our new salesperson gave us the excellent service we expect, and he helped us find not one but two vehicles, each suited perfectly to us. We had an excellent experience and we're very happy with our vehicles.

Bought a 2017 Chevy Malibu from Rome Preowned and it was exactly what I was looking for. The sales rep was professional and polite and walked me through the process with ease. When a small issue came up a couple of days later, the service manager repaired it at no cost to me. Overall an excellent experience, and I will definitely do business with them again!

As the co-owner of Blackfern Media and BlackTie Brothers, I've worked with many businesses, and my experience with Rome Pre-Owned was outstanding. The sales representative made the car-buying process smooth and hassle-free, and the service advisor was courteous, professional and approachable. It's clear the team truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend them.
