Debbie G | Alpine, CA

Spending someone else's money is even more difficult than spending my own! When my elderly parent's old van, with an exterior wheelchair lift gave out, I began the hunt for a ramp van. My father no longer could transfer in and out of the car. I was especially nervous dealing with a company I found on the Internet that is more than half way across the United States from where we live. However, my fears were relieved in dealing with AMS Vans. The staff was gracious and accommodating, from the person answering the phones to the sales personnel to the driver who brought it to California. The van was actually delivered ahead of schedule and met all of our expectations, all at almost 10,000 less than local dealers costs. I appreciated being able to use the Internet BBB and Carfax services to make sure things were up and up. I have already recommended AMS Vans to a friend, who will consider the company on his next van purchase. Debbie G Alpine, CA
