    I'm very pleased with the service. Steve made my car purchasing anxiety better. He was always available he was there from the beginning to the end until I drove off of the Nissan dealership with my brand new Nissan Rogue. Thank you, Ardent Team!

    I worked with Pete, who did all the heavy lifting in identifying and negotiating the best deals on two different Mazda vehicles. I was able to use the offers Pete obtained to secure a deal with the Mazda dealership I’d previously worked with to negotiate an even better deal than they’d previously offered me personally.

    Five stars for Pete. In many ways he was a sword as well as a shield in the car buying process. Pete's the reason this was the easiest time I've had buying a car.

    I used Peter’s suggestions when visiting dealers and doing test drives.  I felt much more informed and confident about this purchase than I would have been if I went in by myself to purchase a car.

    From Matchbox cars as a small boy to SCCA Autocross Racing, I have always had a love for cars and people. So, it’s no surprise that I’m the car guy that I am today. A Bucks County native, I spent 15+ years as a car salesman and sales manager at one of the largest dealerships in the country. The best part about being at Ardent is I now get to save people money.

    Growing up, I spent many days at car shows and sitting in a mechanic shop watching classic muscle cars being built.  As time went on, I found myself working as a service specialist to pay my way through college.  My passion and involvement in the car industry continued as I worked my way up to sales manager.  I have always found an enjoyment in helping people with their auto needs.
