Mike is great to work with. My family has bought multiple cars from him and it has been a positive experience every time and we've been VERY happy with our cars.

I had a great no-pressure experience buying a car at Great Lakes AutoSports. Mike was upfront and quick to explain and answer any questions or concerns I had. It can be difficult finding a car dealer you can trust. No hassles or typical car dealership sales pressures. I found a great car and got a great deal. I would recommend GL AutoSports to buy a car or have your car serviced.

My wife just bought a 2007 Toyota Avalon from Great Lakes. She loves it. Mike Maienza and David put it in great shape for our trip back to Missouri. Excellent value and exemplary service.
