Default Dealer experience?

Has anyone had any dealings with Reliable Chevrolet in Springfield Missouri? If so, please relate your opinion of them.

When Wes Milby was there several years ago, he was a straight shooter, so you will get plenty of favorable reviews for him and Reliable.

After Wes left, I haven't been to Reliable so I don't know anything about them now. They don't seem to sell as many Corvettes as when Wes was there.


I just bring it up so that anyone that replies is relating a recent purchase, and not when Wes was there.

I dealt with Wes Milby for both a C6 Z06 and C6 ZR1, my last contact with Wes was in 2012 and he was an awesome person to deal with. Not sure about Reliable Chevrolet and their Corvette department these days. I recommend Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet in Gaithersburg, Maryland as he’s a straight shooter and is up front on all transactions.

Well, it's not in Springfield, but ELCO Chevrolet is in Ballwin (St. Louis) on Rte. 66. Non-negotiable pricing and straight shooters from beginning to end. Ask for William Spence. Great guy to work with. I'm in CA, but they were great! None of the dealers near me are worth a damn...

I've never been to them personally, but living in Joplin (about 70 miles away), everything that I've heard about them has been great.
