51 Manage your online reputation

52 Manage your online reputation My review of 5 Star Auto Sales: We had sub zero credit and was in a downward spiral that we thought we would never get out of. A credit rating in the low 400's. Dan and his team got us in a 2008 Chevy Aveo with very low miles. His personal relationship with his lenders got a good rate considering our situation. A year later thanks to Dan's advice, we now are at 700 and climbing. 5 star will not try to put you in something you can't afford and when they say you can re-establish your credit with them, they are right. Quality Wednesday, cars June + 24, 2009 quality pricing + excellent ownership = customers for life. Joel and Linda Overland, MO
