What They Say

Blair Jackson
Infiniti M45

Hello, my name is Blair Jackson, I am an attorney in Orlando. It was finally time for me to retire my 1996 Nissan Maxima. The task of purchasing a new vehicle seemed daunting. As a busy sole practitioner, Chris understood I didn’t have time to search, haggle and waste my time at dealerships.

Chris, of Plaisance Vehicle Brokers provided excellent turnkey service. We made our request for the vehicle we needed and within days it arrived and we could not be happier. We appreciated Chris’ professionalism, integrity and efficient turnaround. We find every opportunity to recommend PVB to all of our friends, family and acquaintances.

I have had the pleasure of purchasing several vehicles from Mr. Plaisance over the past four years, as well as recommending several family members, employees and friends of mine. Off the top of my head, he has procured at least 10 cars and sold 4 using PVB’s “Consignment Option”. As a business owner, I demand a lot from my vendors. Rarely do any of them meet my expectations, much less exceed my expectations as Chris has time after time. Chris listens to what I say, takes my perfectionist personality into mind when sourcing vehicles and has great communication skills and superb customer service.

Now, the best part….MONEY. Every vehicle that I have purchased from Chris, I have not only broken even on after a year (I get bored with them), I have made money on a few of them. Try that with a Dealer. Speaking of, my brother is a finance director for a large dealership in the Sanford area, so I’m well aware of how they swindle people. That does not happen with Chris Plaisance and I will recommend anyone and everyone who is looking for a quality vehicle, at a good price from a reputable dealer.

Hello, my name is William Bradford. I work for Orange County Public School System. Recently, I needed to purchase a vehicle to replace my 1992 Lincoln Town Car. I was referred to Christopher Plaisance.

First, I came to know Chris as a friendly and knowledgeable person in his field. Chris listens to your thoughts and goals regarding your vehicle preferences and your budget for the purchase. Then, he begins an exhaustive search to match you with the car that you were meant to have. Together we investigated many automobiles over a six-week period—all with no pressure. Personally, I decided to purchase a 2003 Infinity FX-45.

I wanted a dependable sport utility vehicle that would offer style and safety on the road. The well-appointed sport leather interior; plus the convenience and accessibility of a high tech dash panel; 6CD changer with multiple BOSE speakers; down to the driver/passenger friendly caddy for drinks and storage were outstanding features that immediately caught my eye. The driving experience was second to none. As an educator and coordinator of academic programs for OCPS, I was in need of a vehicle that could easily handle transporting my materials from one site to another.

Being a President and Owner of a mortgage company the last thing I wanted to do in my free time was to go shopping for a car. Chris was able to provide me the type of “customer service” that I take great pride in giving to my clients. In a day an age where we have forgot the word service, Chris made buying a car not only easy but enjoyable.

Instead of driving around town and walking around car lots. Chris took the time to sit down with me and listen to what my needs where he did all of the work for me. Found the car, e-mailed me a picture of it, brought it to my office for me to test drive even had it detailed in my parking lot ready for me to drive home that night. The only problem with this is, I will never be able to buy a car any other way!

I would highly recommend Chris Plaisance in your search for a car or truck. Chris did a great job finding me the vehicle that I was looking for in the price range I wanted to stay in. Chris’s desire is to get you in the car that you want.

It is very refreshing to work with Chris as compared to a normal car salesman. Chris is working for you, not for a company trying to sell a certain brand of car. For that reason, I never felt like he was trying to sell me something I didn’t want. He seemed to be interested in one thing, and that was getting me in a vehicle that I would love. And he did just that, getting me in just the kind of vehicle I was looking for.

Chris’s fee is a one time payment at the time you purchase your vehicle. So I knew upfront how much it was going to cost me to have him help me. Chris purchases his vehicles from the same place that the dealers do. So, if you want to get the car you are looking for and not have to pay the extra amount a dealer would charge you then let Chris find you a car. I highly recommend him.

Buying a used car can be intimidating, especially when you haven’t the slightest clue about the used car market.

As a know-it-all college kid, who really knew next to nothing, I went shopping for a used Volvo, bought one and later found I was duped.

A 1999, Pewter-colored S70 I thought was a steal turned out to be a frame-damaged, rattling lemon.

When it’s too good be true it usually is.

What’s worse is I had a chance to buy a similar Volvo for a similar price from Chris. When I told him “thanks, but no thanks” and went with a pre-owned dealer’s offer, there were no hard feelings.

Instead, Chris, a close buddy, sat shotgun for a ride along side me in my new used Volvo. Though it rode fine and turned with precision, the sky would fall down as soon as the hood was popped.

Chris was the first person to open the hood since it was purchased (gives you an idea of what kind of clueless consumer I was). Under the hood was a crumpled mess: an engine frame that looked like it had taken hits from a sledge hammer. Chris alerted me the car had endured frame damage, which in plain English means the car had been in an accident, a bad one.

Despite being asked initially, the dealer never mentioned anything about a prior wreck or frame damage (shocker).

Chris recommended I confront the dealer and demand either my money back or the same make and model for the same price I paid for the damaged S70.

I took his advice and had to fight, but in the end came away with a newer model (by one year) S70 with fewer miles and zero frame damage. It rode like a dream for six and a half years before I sold it by way of Chris.

Chris could have been bitter for not getting my business initially. Instead, he saved me from being a sucker and found a way for me to come out on top.

My mother, father, brother and grandmother now all drive cars from Plaisance Vehicle Brokers, and I drive an ‘06 Nissan Maxima from guess where?

Moral of the story: You don’t have to know anything about the used car market if you know a dependable dealer.

AAA card in hand, I had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealership. They were going to charge me more than the car was worth to fix it so I decided to start looking into buying a new car. This was my first experience buying a car without the financing to pay in cash. I researched leasing, buying new, buying used and buying on-line. I was overwhelmed.

Then a friend told me about Chris. At first I was skeptical. Being a single woman I often feel like mechanics and auto dealers are taking advantage of me. Within minutes of our first conversation I knew Chris was different. First, he helped me make a good decision to fix my car so I wouldn’t have to buy a new car under pressure. He set me up with a mechanic who fixed it for a third of what the dealer was going to charge me. Chris also assured me he would buy my old car as a trade-in and the money I put into it would come back plus some.

Then we discussed what I was looking for in a new car. He sent pictures, provided facts and suggested websites for me to research and review. Once I decided on the car I wanted, he sent auction write-ups and took pictures of the actual cars I was considering and sent them to me via email. The first two auctions we didn’t get the car I wanted but that was ok because Chris knew the real value of the cars and didn’t want me to spend more than necessary to get the car I wanted. He told me not to worry we would find “the right car at the right time.” Only a week later Chris found the car I had been picturing in my mind. He made arrangements for me to test drive the car and gave the car a full inspection. He spotted an imperfection and worked with the seller to get it fixed. He also took care of the tax, title and registration like a big dealership would do and hooked me up with competitive financing. I could not be happier with my new car and my experience working with Chris. He is professional, trustworthy and savvy about cars. I cannot recommend him enough to my single girlfriends and anyone who wants to have a better car-buying experience.

My parents and my brother had such a great experience buying cars from Chris that when I needed a car, it was a no brainer to give him the task of finding me what I wanted. He knew what my budget was and found me a car that fit my needs.

Chris took my calls at all times of the day and night. He found just what I was looking for and at a great price! It’s nice to know that there are trustworthy car salesmen like Chris. Worrying about your transportation is the last thing anyone wants to do. He even has a mechanic you can trust.

Being both a pastor at a local church and a new dad, integrity and value are top priority. It doesn’t take a lot of experience to realize that the car-buying industry can be real shady, so I was instinctively skeptical. I contacted Chris for the first time because my brother spoke very highly of his multiple car-buying experiences with him.

Chris is entirely straight-forward and does not play games with hidden fees when it comes time to sign the paper work. With Chris, you know exactly what you are paying for. If you have been burned by shady car dealers then you need to give Chris the opportunity to earn your business.

Chris operates with an excellent business ethic because he is a man of strong integrity - he is a man of his word. Chris never manipulates his clients into thinking that they are getting something that they were really not getting. I always knew that Chris had MY best interests in mind from beginning to end. Value is also something that Chris always delivers. I needed a car that would not only accommodate my growing family, but also my budget. Chris landed me a fantastic deal on the perfect car for my family. This is the way car buying should be! Having Chris handle all of the time consuming paperwork of the tag, title, etc. was icing on the cake! He also spent time with us helping us put our baby seat in so we could safely drive home. His personal, friendly service is as great as the amazing deals that he finds! If you don’t buy your next car from Chris – you are missing out on a great buying experience.

If given a choice, normally I’d rather have dental work without Novocain than go through buying a car. Buying a car with Plaisance Vehicle Brokers changed my attitude! Chris really cared about getting me the vehicle I wanted at a price I could afford. Unlike every other experience I’d had with dealerships, Chris returned my calls and e-mails promptly and kept me informed every step of the way. The entire process took less time than I’d have believed possible.

Chris was very focused on being sure he understood what I wanted. It’s not everyone who’s looking for a minivan that can be used as a tin tent for hiking and camping and still be nice enough for reading group road trips with six friends. And he certainly did get the picture, because I got exactly what I wanted. The final cost, even including Chris’ fee, the taxes, and tag transfer was at the very bottom range of the vehicle’s blue book value-far less than I’d have paid at a dealership. And my new minivan, in premium condition, had fewer miles than I’d dared hope for!

I have already been recommending Chris to friends. Chris made the whole car buying experience absolutely painless!

I’ve known since I was about one and drove my dad’s CJ7 that I wanted a jeep wrangler. Thirty years later, Chris made the process of buying my dream car a painless one, from beginning to finish.

It started when my fiance and I test drove my jeep and continued through having all my questions answered, being guided through the buying process, and even assisting with customer service that went beyond his own business to other vendors.

Most of all, I appreciated the no pressure salesmanship, and really like supporting a local family owned business. I definitely plan on recommending PVB to my friends and acquaintances!

As the owner of Import Auto Performance, LLC in Orlando, FL I am around modified import (tuner) vehicles daily. I have done business with Chris at PVB, Inc. for some time and have referred many friends to him. He has taken care of their vehicle purchase needs in a very professional manner.

When it came time for me to turn in my lease vehicle, I found that the lease company wanted me to do anything BUT let me turn in my vehicle. To my surprise, the charges to turn the vehicle totaled almost $2,000! Thats when Chris suggested that he sell my vehicle for me. This was a stressful situation as I was leaving the state in only one week and needed to be free of the car before my move.

Chris listed the vehicle for me on a Saturday afternoon and by Sunday morning we already had two prospective buyers. To my surprise, my vehicle was sold by Tuesday (only 72 Hours later)! Chris not only saved me $2,000 but now everyone I know will hear about how he helped me and will be using his services as well.

As a hobby, I find things at garage sales and on the side of the road. I take them home to restore or use them to create something new. Often, as I am traveling around town I locate some of these items, which require me to have room to bring it home to work on. Doing this in a Subaru Forester can be very tricky! I gave Chris at PVB the task of finding a truck that was big enough to accommodate not only my hobby but also my family of three.

Initially, I explained to him that I wanted a Ford F150 with an extended cab. Chris took me out to see a few of these trucks to get an Idea of what I really wanted. As we looked at trucks I realized that there were some factors I did not consider. I realized I would need a truck that would comfortably seat my whole family, even when it expands. Chris took this into consideration and broadened our search. He came up with the idea to look at four door trucks that would provide more legroom and space to grow. This seemed easy enough until I added more specifications such as cost, mileage, and particular interior style.

Chris was up to the challenge and gracefully found exactly what I was looking for and more. With his knowledge of cars and a great understanding of what I was looking for he was able to place me in great vehicle my family and I are very happy. I’ll never forget the smiles on my family’s faces as we drove up to pick up the car at PVB. Thanks Chris- for helping meet our vehicle needs for the next several years!

I have known Chris for a couple of years and watched as he continually found cars for several people. When it was my turn I needed a miracle. Well he did provide that miracle. He was able to get the car I needed and the cost was perfected. I will highly recommend others to him. Thank you.

My wife and I have personally purchased two vehicles from Plaisance Vehicle Brokers in Orlando Fl, and do not intend on buying future cars any other way! I was referred to him by a friend, and I refer him to anyone and everyone who is looking for a car.

It is the easiest car buying experience you will ever have. PVB will find you the perfect car and save you a lot of money! I never expected to meet a car salesman that I could actually trust, but their staff will treat you right in every regard. Trust me, once you buy a car from PVB, you’ll never go anywhere else.

Hi my name is Shay, I’m 18 and just moved to Florida. I spent weeks upon weeks looking for a good car with a great price. After three weeks of searching I came across PVB’s ad for a ‘99 Volkswagon Beetle. So I called Chris and he still had it.

He was very helpful and worked with me to make a day to come look at it. When I got there I was very surprised to see what great condition the car was in for being a ‘99. Everything was as he promised and said it would be.

Being only 18 this is my third car and I’ve never felt more comfortable buying a car. Chris made it so easy and fast and helped me with everything. If I was to ever buy another car I would call Chris to help me. I appreciate his help and would do it all over again if I had to!

Hello, my name is James and I am a proud customer of PVB. When it came time for me to find a new automobile, there were a whole host of different dealerships to choose from.

I chose Chris and Plaisance Vehicle Brokers because Chris helped me choose the car that was the best fit for me. There was no long walks on a lot, no high pressure salesmen or confusing sales pitches. Chris and I were able to sit down and have a comfortable conversation and find a Honda Civic that was perfect for me.

The personalized service and commitment to customer service are second to none. The only choice for me when it comes to purchasing my next automobile will be Chris and PVB. I highly recommend Chris to anyone in the market for a great car at a great price.

I am extremely picky when it comes to my vehicles, which is why I went to PVB to help locate my next car.

My bank offers a free service similar to what PVB does, but they could not come close to the attention to detail and customer satisfaction that PVB strives for. PVB found the EXACT vehicle (exterior & interior colors, leather, 6 speed manual transmission) I was looking for, with lower miles and for thousands less than I was expecting. When I picked the vehicle up it looked brand new inside and out. PVB handled all the paperwork and even transferred my tag.

I could not be happier with my new purchase. PVB has definitely earned a customer for life.
