My sincere apology to Shaun Ironside for getting his name wrong on my first submission of this review. (its not Mike Irons...My Bad). Let there be no doubt about who I am speaking of and my appreciation for Shauns way of conducting business in the extremely competitive arena of auto sales. Hi everyone Im a retired Engineer who worked for Fourty years in the automobile industry and know my way around cars and trucks. I was in the market for a good second vehicle and found one i liked at Envision Auto Sales in my searching through Kijiji and or Auto Trader websites My First contact with Envision Auto Sales was by visiting their web page. The page was easy to navigate and provided me with my first impression of the dealership. Every car, truck, SUV, both foreign and domestic were clean and bellow the average mileage for their year. Each vehicle was displayed with multiple photos inside and out showing all aspects of what they had for sale. My second contact was a phone call to Shaun Ironsides (phone number provided on their webpage) to inquire about the vehicle I was interested in. Mike answered all my questions and added more information then I expected. The following day Shaun emailed me the safety assessment showing any and all items that were within required standards and the few that needed fixing before it could be sold. Also included in the email was the Carfax report. I was shocked by openness and transparency Shaun provided to me BEFORE I committed to buy. My third encounter was a visit to the Envision Auto Sales lot where I met Denis, Shauns partner. The SUV I had come to see was clean and ready for a test drive. We did the usual exchange of required documents and Denis walked me through the points of interest on the vehicle and prepared me for a safe test drive. The vehicle was exactly what they had advertised NO SURPRISES!!. At Envision Auto Sales they are extremely particular about what cars they bring on to their lot. They are very courteous with their customers. They do what they say they will do. If you a are in the market for a Very Good, previously owned vehicle and you want to be treated like a valued customer on your very first visit then stop in at ENVISION AUTO SALES and experience it for yourself I love the SUV I purchased from Envision and I usually hold on to my cars for a while but I look forward to working with them the next time Im in the market to buy another car. There you have it. From my first visit to the webpage, to the day I drove my SUV off the lot. It was a very positive and pleasurable experience and I would recommend them to anyone who asks. I CONGRATULATE SHAUN AND DENIS AND THEIR STAFF FOR SHOWING THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM IN THEIR BUSINESS. Thank you Shaun and Denis and the Staff at Envision Auto Sales Patrick J Marcus

I rarely take time to write reviews but in this case it is the least I could do. This review is for a vehicle purchased from Shaun Ironside at Envision Auto. It was a 2011 Carbon Edition Z06 Corvette with just 1,360 original miles (#196 for any enthusiasts). This car was "by far" the nicest C6 I could find and at a price that looked good so I figured there must be something wrong. I live 3,000 miles away in Longwood, Florida. I was extremely cautious because 18 months earlier I was duped by a little old lady in South Florida. Believe it or not she sold me a stolen car with VIN numbers that had been switched. Now my friends and family were all telling me I was crazy for even considering this Corvette that was so far away and who could blame them. It was coming from another country, I would never see it in person and after my last experience...really what was I thinking lol. I told Shaun that I was overly cautious because of my last vehicle mishap. He said he understood and would do all he could to help ease my concerns. He replied to every email, phone call and text message I sent. He provided multiple videos, photos and an auto history report. I know I was driving Shaun crazy with all of my questions but he could not have been more pleasant to deal with. Even though he had other people interested in this rare car Shaun went above and beyond in every way possible to help satisfy my concerns. He even had the car inspected by the local Chevrolet dealership. The dealerships service technician told me Envision Auto is a local, very reputable company and the car was a 10 out of 10. I decided to buy the car. Shaun helped me with the exporting, he helped me find a shipping company and he helped me with the GM certification needed for Customs. What really stood out to me was what he did after I sent the wire transfer. Shaun discovered the 1st owner had purchased a GM (full car) extended warranty and there was still 18 months left. He went though the trouble of having a warranty (I never knew existed) transferred to my name. Again this was something he discovered on his own after the vehicle was sold and after he had his money. I may not trust little old ladies in S. Florida lol but I would absolutely purchase another car from Shaun at Envision. Thank you Shaun for helping me find the nicest car Ive ever owned...by far. The pictures and videos do not even come close to how beautiful this car is. Im giving you 5 stars...because they dont go any higher!! -Robert C.

Shaun Ironside was doing his absolute best to give me the information required when asked about the 2015 Lancer SE that I was interested in. He told me what I had to do step by step in order to proceed with the purchase phase for the vehicle. It is always difficult to deal with someone from over 1,800 kilometers away, but Shaun did what he could to simplify things for me. When the car had arrived in Thunder Bay to the local Mitsubishi dealership, we got the service department to complete a safety check on the vehicle. When I heard back from the service guys, they had mentioned that a fog light lens was damaged and needed replacement in order to pass the safety check. The entire assembly was going to cost just under $600 to replace, which was a shock to me. The car had already passed a safety in Alberta. When I called up Shaun about this, he took a look at the pictures on the auto trader post he put up and realized that the fog light lens was damaged. He then offered to cover the partial cost for the replacement. I then only had to pay for the labor as well as the safety check. Instead of paying the full $600 for the repair, labor and safety, I only had to pay around $160 for the labor and safety. Shaun was kind enough to offer this to me when he noticed the damage to the fog light. He could have pointed out that the car is no longer his problem and I would be charged with the full replacement cost. Instead, he offered to make amends by paying the partial cost for me. I really appreciated this. He did over and beyond to make sure that his client was happy about the service and made things considerably less annoying and stressful. I would definitely recommend Envision Auto Sales and Shaun as someone worthy of doing car trades and purchases from. He was honest, fair and understanding throughout the process.
