Why you should buy a car from me:

 I was born and raised in South Africa. When I moved here in 1996 I was not to sure where I wanted to go. I started selling vehicles in 2000, the first thing that caught my attention was the way that sales professionals in this industry are perceived. When I purchased my first new vehicle back in South Africa the sales person that helped me had a gift basket on the front seat of my new car, funny thing is that this is what they did at the store.

 It has always been my goal to help my customers find the best vehicle for them.

I do not believe that I am a car salesman but a service provider. Come on in and talk with me you will find out very fast that I am here to help you and not sell you.

 Why do you choose to work here?

 I have the privilege to spend my day among German engineered masterpieces.

These are not cars they are AUTO MOBILES.

The staff here at Betten have treated me so well and everyone here will take the time to help each other out , that makes it a lot easier to wake up and come to work everyday.

Dear Mr. Betten,

My wife, Nancy, and i stopped by your showroom to only look! We especially wanted to see the Volkswagen line. Within a very short time we nearly agreed to a proposal laid out by Kim Thompson. It only took until the next day for us to make a positive decision.

Kim, along with the expert assistance of Bernard Saayman, were the most professional, yet low key, representatives of any automobile dealership I have ever met; and, I have met many. By my recollection, I have purchased 13 new automobiles in the last 20 years, and many more before then. I just can't remember.

Sales Manager Kim was great in handling our questions and concerns. He has a talent for handling people with his expertise based on his intelligence, keen sense of humor and fair play.

My wife loves her White 2010 Wolfsburg Edition Tiguan more than she liked the BMW X3 that we recently turned in.

Our total experience, from beginning to end, was made easy by your entire staff and was truly unlike any we have ever experienced.

Thank you, and please pass on our appreciation to one and all at Betten Imports.

Sincerely,

J Thomas Brinker

Bernard:   Jan and I took the new car up near Cadillac to the Pine River today.  We thought that you might like to see it decked out with new Thule racks and my gorgeous wooden kayak.  I even used the stupid Velcro things in the cargo compartment to keep things from rolling around.  I was so into the new car that we got about 2 miles down the river before I realized that I had brought the keys to the VW (parked where we put into the river) in my pocket rather than the keys to Jan's Subaru, which was waiting for us 7 miles downstream.  So, I got to do some unexpected hiking back upriver to visit the VW again.

Bernard,  I want to tell you how much I appreciated your expertise and customer service.  You took considerable time to explain and demonstrate the car's features to Nancy and me.  Your straightforward approach made us feel respected and listened to.  In short, you made the car buying experience as good as it gets.  The Jetta Tdi is a pleasure and a joy to drive.  We will gladly recommend you and Betten Imports.  Thanks - Dan
