Purchased a 2026 Rogue, our sales person Jared Lakin was the best! So personable and attentive to our needs. Everyone at the dealership was friendly and welcoming. Jared, Conner and Porter made the purchase process enjoyable. Looking for a new car… ask for Jared!!

2019 Nissan Sentra 2019 I was impressed with he level of care that was taken to make sure I understood exactly what I was paying for. Billy Brown was especially helpful in making sure that it was a car I liked was affordable for me, and last of all answered all of my questions in a way that made me feel like the choice was mine and was well informed. It was an exciting day and, I was never left waiting for that moment when I could drive off in my new car. I was lead to it. 2023 Nissan Rogue SL AWD 2023 Sadly a lady pulled out on to the road and totaled my first ever new car. 4 years and 1 month later I need a new vehicle again. I knew who I trusted and that was Billy Brown with Tim Dahle @ Southtown Auto in Utah. Before I went I found out as much about the new line up as possible. I found the Nissan Rogue SL AWD 2023 had a fantastic balance between Power and efficiency. with an overall average of 32 MPG and just over 200 HP this vehicle saves you gas while giving you power. The best part of the vehicle is the Pro Pilot Assist, it reads the traffic assists with steering and avoids collisions you cant see coming. I LOVE IT! 2026 Nissan Murano SV AWD 2026 For my birthday, I decided to switch to the Nissan Marano, the 2026. So far I have nothing but love this car for its responsiveness on the road and it’s ease of driving home to and from work on a long commute with the pro pilot assist system which handles congested traffic with ease requiring less driver input to stay in the normal flow. Heavily depending on the way you drive this car it can be really efficient. I have average 32 miles per gallon with this car or it can be consumptive depending on your way of driving it also depends heavily on whether or not you’re driving in a mountain or Canyon versus the flat freeway in a valley compared to the rogue the Marano is very spacious featuring tons of room in the driver and passenger space and more space side to side on the back row Tim Dahle Nissan has been very responsive with any issue that comes up during service and when I bought the car Tim Dahle himself said merry Christmas to my sales rep who let me know.

Very helpful, considerate and willing to work with me. There were a few extra services included at an extra cost that weren't optional. It would have been nice to have been given the option.
