Easy buying experience for 2500HD
Had as good of an experience as you can while at a car dealership. Very easy to deal with and got me out the door quick. Had exactly what I was looking for and made a great deal!

Great Team Helped Me With My New Denali Purchase!
I want to take a moment to thank Brandon, Nick, Jon and Eric for their patience and understanding as I went through this sale. While I was hoping for the better GM Deal it seems you guys still got me a fair deal. Nick and Brandon thanks for taking the time to go over the vehicle with me and take me out on test drives. Jon helped put the final touches on the negotiations. Eric was very helpful in getting me to understand my finance options. This is my 5th GM product. I dug up a few old pics of the ones I could find. My first was a used 1986 Pontiac Grand Am which was also my first vehicle out of high school. My second vehicle was a 1990 GMC Sierra purchased Brand new and drove it to Fort Lee Va during Desert Storm and most of my time during the military. My third GM was a used 1996 Yukon I purchased back in 1997. My last GM before this purchase was a brand new 2002 Chevy Avalanche. I have some fond memories of all my vehicles and I am now looking forward to my family and I creating new ones with our new Denali.

Best dealership Ever!!!!
I'm on my third purchase from carl black Roswell. You can go anywhere and purchase a vehicle but you will struggle to find a better customer service and effort to meet all of customers requests and needs as the staff at carl black. They have definitely earned a loyal customer from me and my wife and I will continue recommended those I come in contact with to go to them. Nick was great as well as Eric, his dad and the rest of the staff. Such a family type of environment.
Mar 16, 2019
Very nice dealership
Great buying experience on a new 2019 Canyon. From the salesman and sales manager, finance person to the service manager. Please give Carl Black a visit for your next vehicle purchase.
Mar 01, 2019
Sometimes things workout for the best
We had a critical crash that left the vehicle in a serious and potential questioal repair,.we were not in a position to purchase a new vehicle and the sales manager came up with a great solution that we could afford and put us in a car with all the safety amenities we asked for an a new car to boot. We are very happy to have shopped at Carl Black
Feb 26, 2019
Excellent Customer Service
I appreciate the staff at Carl Black, particularly Nick Grieme, one of the sales experts, who helped to make my car buying process a breeze!! Thanks again. Michael Bauknight
Feb 21, 2019
Thanks Gmc
Thank you guys one more time,this is our fourth car we buy from Gmc,salesman great person( Nick I guess), I would like to thanks also to the owner,he made possible this purchase.I will recommend this dealership who wants to buy new cars.
Feb 15, 2019
Fair price, great friendly service!
Had a great overall experience at this dealership. I've bought a lot of cars in my life and typically regret setting foot on a sales lot the moment I do— get ready to do battle! *However* our salesman, Nick Grieme was courteous, professional and to the point (which I generally prefer) in helping us choose a vehicle for our growing family. We love our new 2019 Terrain!! There was no pressure selling from him. We were choosing between two models and he never tried to force the more expensive option on us even though that's what we ultimately chose. A couple of minor issues I had after the sale were handled as a priority. Of note, he even came in after going home sick to help us close on the sale (we completed purchase the day after our initial visit— more on why below). Rubens, his associate, was also very friendly and helpful in this regard and Sam Garcia made the financial affairs a piece of cake. Our first day there the finance guy we dealt with (Eric) was honestly so rude to us that we almost moved on to another dealership altogether. He made it pretty obvious that he was irritated because we didn't wish to purchase additional warranty coverage and wanted to use our own financing after we learned that GM financial just wasn't our best option. So we said no thanks and left. I simply have no patience for such rudeness and was headed straight for the next dealership. But on our way out Nick and Sam continued to be so professional and actually listen to what we wanted and didn't want that we decided to go back to Carl Black and not let one bad interaction ruin everything. I would definitely recommend this dealership (and these 3 gentlemen specifically) to anyone looking to skip the typical high pressure/high frustration sales environment and just buy the vehicle they need! Thank you again Nick, Rubens and Sam!
Feb 15, 2019
It was a great experience. I'm not sure what else I can say. Soup to nuts everything was on point. Thanks for all the help during the process.
Jan 31, 2019
new purchase
Friendly dealership Helpful finance manager Did not keep me waiting around like my last purchase All the leg work was done up front so when I arrived on Saturday it was a simple sign and leave in my new truck
Jan 29, 2019
No pressure sales. Informative and knowledgeable staff.
The organization seemed sincerely interested in helping us find the best car for our needs. We would purchase another vehicle from Carl Black Roswell again.

A+ Sales Team
The team at Carl Black Roswell is fantastic! They are professional, courteous and go out of their way to make the experience as seamless as possible. My second purchase from them, but it certainly won't be my last. I am a customer for life!
Jan 28, 2019
Fair comfortable experience!
I would highly recommend Nick at this dealership. He's very professional and not your typical car salesman. Great experience the whole process! Would highly recommend!

New vehicle review
Nick Grieme was a great salesman. W He explained everything in the vehicle and gave us time to think and ask questions. He was thorough, not pushy and very easy to talk to. We highly recommend Nick as a salesman to anyone interested in purchasing a vehicle from Carl Black GMC.
Jan 02, 2019
Our need for a new car was met with excellence
We had an excellent sales experience at Carl Black Buick. I highly recommend this dealership. Nick helped us find the perfect car for our family.
Dec 14, 2018
Nick Grieme was top notch. Very attentive and responsive. Would highly recommend Nick to others; dealership service is top rate as well. Good group of professionals.
Dec 07, 2018
I knew the truck I wanted. They had it, at the right price. I stopped in to xx it out. 3 hours later I was in my new truck. Very professional. I will be back.
Nov 30, 2018
Great Service
After researching cars online and visiting multiple dealerships, my husband and I wanted to make sure we did our due diligence before purchasing a new vehicle for our growing family. I decided to visit Carl Black Roswell with my 4-year-old and infant, specifically to look at a Yukon. I described what I was looking for and Nick brought a car to the front of the dealership within minutes. He made it easy for me to check out the car, ask questions and demonstrate features on the vehicle, all while entertaining my boys and making us all feel comfortable (and without pressure). The dealership even had a bouncy house and popcorn available which made them excited to stay. We decided to test drive the vehicle that evening and came back to buy it the following day as the Yukon had what we were looking for and Nick was very helpful throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend Carl Black Roswell for a family-friendly, pressure-free car buying experience.

Terrific Car Buying Experience
Fantastic, efficient service is the name of the game at Carl Black in Roswell. They are very easy to work with, have a great selection, and get things done quickly with a smile. There is no pushiness in the sales pitch and they bring fair offers to begin with. It was a pleasure buying here and I would happily do so again.
Oct 15, 2018
Highly recommended
I wish I could give them higher than a 5 star. Nick Grieme went above and beyond. I was buying my car from out of town. Every dealership I had went to, including one not far from me, didn't meet the standards of Carl Black. Especially Nick, he really helped this process go smoothly. Staying late on his early day off to get my deal finalized for me to sign the papers so I could leave with my Acadia Denali that night. I can't thank the guy enough. If you are looking for a new car this is the place to go and Nick is the guy to buy from. I added extras onto my SUV and they got it done the next day for me ready to pick up. I'm so pleased with Nick, Carl Black and the whole process here I will definitely be coming back and referring to all my family and friends!

A happy buying experience!!
My husband and I visited the dealership for service work on our 2015 Yukon. We wound up looking around the lot with a great sales guy, Rubens, and decided to purchase a new 2018 Yukon! He and his boss, Jon, were pleasant and great to work with. The service department and Nick were exceptional! The man who did the paperwork made it easy.
Sep 22, 2018
Nice guys
I enjoyed my buying experience with the carl black sales team. This is the second vehicle I've bought from John and his team. Nice guys! Looking forward to buying my third from them.

Amazing Customer Service
I just experienced the easiest and fastest car purchase. I knew what I wanted when I came in and told Nick that I was in a hurry and didn't have time to make this an all day event. Nick was gracious, professional and took every step to make this process smooth and speedy! I will for sure be back! A

Thank you!
Thank you to Nick for all of your help and making the process of buying a GMC Terrain so seamless! You were so kind and helpful and we greatly appreciate you! The Brown Family

Easy process, made buying my 2019 easy
Nick was a great help showing me the features of this new 2019 GMC Denali. The process to buy the car and pick out the parts I wanted was very easy.
Sep 07, 2018
Customer focused
The salesman was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable he was detail oriented and very responsive. The general manager and sales manager that I worked with during negotiating were quick to get to the point and while it was a negotiation they were extremely reasonable at reaching a very good deal .

Great and friendly service - Nick was knowledgeable of vehic
Very satisfied with all service received. Joe was also very helpful with the finances. Well recommend this dealership to our family and friends for sure.
Aug 13, 2018
Closer to being 4.5 star experience
Internet communication (email) was not as transparent as I would have expected. Email contact is in a call center and not onsite at the dealership. I arrived and was not expected as I was led to believe. Could be a little disconcerting if you do not already know what you are looking for. Received 2 calls from the call center asking if I was still going to come into the dealership the day I had scheduled for my appointment. This was after I had already arrived, made the deal and purchased my vehicle 3 hours earlier. The actual buying experience with Nick was great as well as the finance experience with Joe. Definitely will give this dealership first crack at my business with my next vehicle purchase.
Aug 08, 2018
Excellent service by everyone!
Everyone was excellent from the first phone call to the person who expedited the tag process so I could get my disability liscence plate in two days so I had it for our trip to Texas. Again excellent service through out the buying process.

Happy New Truck Owner
Thanks for all your help. From the moment I walked into the dealership till I drove away with my new Canyon everyone was great.. I'm glad to know my new truck is in good hands with people that care.
Jul 18, 2018
Great Experience
Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were not familiar at all with GMC or Buick vehicles, but he was very patient and helpful in answering many questions and letting us test drive several options. We wanted a fair trade and sales price and he made it happen with a smile! Very laid-back, friendly atmosphere. I LOVE my new Acadia and get tons of compliments already. I'd definitely recommend Nick to family and friends!
Jul 18, 2018
Fabulous Experience!
Nick & Nathan did an amazing job helping us choose our new Buick Enclave! They were extremely knowledgeable about the car & were able to answer all of our questions. They were professional & easy to work with. They listened to our needs & weren't pushy with the sale. We love our new Buick & we'll be recommending Carl Black, Nick & Nathan to our friends! Thank you!
Jul 18, 2018
Outstanding customer service!
Carl Black gave me a fair trade in for my vehicle and got me rolling in a new/used vehicle the same day. I will definitely recommend this dealership to my family and friends.

Satisfied Customer!!
Nick was great in helping me decide on a new GMC Yukon! Excellent staff and customer service! The radio commercial are correct...Carl Black is the best!!!!
Jun 27, 2018
Awesome experience
I can't say enough about how nice and helpful everyone we encountered at the dealership. Great service and great price and shout out to Nick Grieme for his beyond excellent customer service and going above and beyond for us. Would buy from them again and I will recommend them to all my friends and family. Sam was also awesome to deal with and did everything he could to get the best price. Joe in finance was amazing as well and he kept us within the budget we told him we had to be in and he made it work. What I really loved about the dealership is that they are real people and they truly work with you to make it happen.

Enjoying by new Buick Enclave
I considered many SUVs and visited many dealerships before deciding on Carl Black. Working with Nick was a very pleasant, stress-free experience. He was very friendly and thorough and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing or leasing a car. The new Buick Enclave is amazing, my kids love it, and I love driving it!
Jun 22, 2018
Carl Black is Great.
I am a retired woman and I have owned many, many cars in many cities around the country. I only go to the dealership for service. I have never in my 50+ years of car ownership have I ever appreciated a dealership as much as I do Carl Black. I always feel like my car and I are being taken care of not being taken advantage off. I recently purchased a vehicle here solely based on my experience with the dealership's service department. Tommy Webb is the best. My salesman Nick was also a pleasure to work with.

Healing and A New Beginning
Life changes. Our future is sometimes not clear....when my husband died of cancer in Dallas, Texas, I was left with financial issues. I moved in with our oldest daughter and her family in Sandy Springs, Ga. With their guidance, I started moving forward. The number one compact car according to Consumer Report is the Buick Regal. With tears and determination from my family, I went with a friend to Carl Black.... I believe that God orders Hus children's steps and that nothing is by accident! Nick was my there to guide, strengthen, and encourage me to get my Buick Regal. I got a childhood favorite car ( my Dad's), and I my family trust me on the road!!! Traveling to see friends and family is one of my greatest pleasures. In closing, my service on my car is wonderful and always a good experience. I see Nick as a friend who checks on me and my Regal. THANK YOU!!! Everyone!!!

Satisfaction customer service
Help a lot with all the papers work that I did not know,and they explained care fully before I signed,that the best dealer I ever had...good job Carl black,specially,nick grieme..sales person who always help...
Jun 22, 2018
Best car buying experience to date.
I was extremely impressed with Nick's patience and knowledge of the vehicle I purchased. I came to the dealership pre-approved with a lender and there was no pressure to go with alternate financing. I have to say this was the best car buying experience that I have ever had. Thanks Nick keep up the good work!!
Jun 17, 2018
First Truck buying experience
Nick was very helpful and always willing to answer any & all questions we had. Definitely made our experience that much better, especially dealing with our crunched time.
Jun 12, 2018
Love The Car
Nick rescued the day, he was new at the position but cared that we felt comfortable with our lease. He reviewed all the functions of our car in detail. Later we found out he wasn't feeling well and had to have his appendix removed. What a trooped
Doug Barlow
Jul 04, 2019
Easy, efficient, and friendly.
Doug, in sales, and Tommy, in the service department were great. They made me feel valued as a customer and gave me a great deal on my new Acadia.
Jun 13, 2019
They're always great and customer service is awesome
The people from alpharetta highway is always trained to be the greatest and customer service oriented . Well knowledgeable with the products and prices. They can give you options to choose when it comes to financing. They really did a hardwork just to come up with my budget. Awesome job!😉
Apr 23, 2019
Great experience and great staff
I came in guarded and ready to fight my way through pressuring salesmen, empty promises, and shady tactics. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Doug who did not pressure, did not make empty promises and best of all, did not lie. Every question I asked while on the test drive was answered honestly.and to the best of his ability. When there was a question he didn't know, he wouldn't make it up off the top of his head, he would involve someone who knew the question, or research it himself. I have dealt with far too many car salesman who make empty promises, lie to my face, and pressure me relentlessly until I feel like I just need to leave. But not Doug. Then I talked to Larry over at services. He knew his stuff, and when Doug pulled him in to answer my questions, he was not bitter, or short with me. He gave me good full answers and did not mince words. He alleviated my concerns about the vehicle immediately. His answers were not just "yes" or "no" but blunt and to the point. I appreciate that. When I pointed out that the headlights were foggy, and the park assist didn't seem to work, he immediately knew what the issue was. He explained and was correct about a Technical Service bulletin regarding the foggy headlights and that they were vented. He also found that the battery had either been replaced, or run low at one time or another, so there were low voltage codes. Once he cleared the codes, everything started working perfectly. Great experience all around, and nobody lied to me, which is a first at a dealership.

New car purchase
So far I am pleased with my relationship with the dealership. Everyone has been very nice and accommodating. Currently I only have one minor issue that needs to be resolved so I will know better my relationship with them once this issue is resolved.,
Apr 07, 2019
Best dealership Ever!!!!
I'm on my third purchase from carl black Roswell. You can go anywhere and purchase a vehicle but you will struggle to find a better customer service and effort to meet all of customers requests and needs as the staff at carl black. They have definitely earned a loyal customer from me and my wife and I will continue recommended those I come in contact with to go to them. Nick was great as well as Eric, his dad and the rest of the staff. Such a family type of environment.
Mar 01, 2019
This is the fourth vehicle I have purchased . Great dealers
Overall the experience here is very good both from a sales perspective and a service perspective. We have bought our last 4 vehicles here.....all GMC's. we will continue to use Carl Black GMC for our future vehicle needs

Buying a 2019 Sierra HD
I was recommended by a fellow employee who got me into contact with the manager. I feel like they had my best interest in kind and worked with us on the rebates and trade in. Everyone is so responsive and wants to help. I'm very happy with my purchase and very happy with the staff. Everyone is helpful and genuine.

Great family owned business employing HONEST sales people
A good buying experience with knowledgeable and honest sales people. Doug Barlow made the negotiation and overall buying transaction a pleasure to do business with. Joe in Finance made the final process almost painless, considering the amount of paperwork! I would recommend the dealership.
Jan 04, 2019

Top Flight Experience!
Everyone at every stage of the process was courteous, patient and very knowledgeable! Doug, our salesman, was able to show us and tells all about all the models and options; and Eric walked us through the lease process and paperwork.

Paul was attentive to our needs and made it a smooth process. One of the best car buying experiences I have had. My wife and I were very pleased.

Unlock your credit
The actual purchase was easy , the hardest thing to do was getting my credit unlocked so the lenders could check my credit . If financing a vehicle make sure you get all 3 agencies to unlock your credit before you go to the dealership
Sep 10, 2019
Great Experience
Paul was very knowledgeable on GMC trucks n accessories. He was very congenial helpful. Unfortunately due to finances, I was unable to purchase at this time.

Truck purchase and Juan mendez
Purchased a truck and Juan and his team were awesome!! This is the second vehicle I have purchased there. I am grateful for the team and Juan.
Apr 02, 2019
Pleasantly surprised!
Carl Black of Roswell was able to honor the discounted price of my 2019 Acadia, even though it was not advertised at that dealership. The negotiation was fair and I appreciated the staff professionalism. It was indeed a pleasant experience.
Mar 05, 2019
Great service and support from start to finish
Front T Scott down to Paul, they did a good job of working with me to solidify an equitable trade and used car purchase. Just the right amount of follow through and they were always prepared to streamline the process
Mar 02, 2019
Everyone was great at CB Roswell. Common courtesy and genuinely nice people. This was my experience with every person that was met and on staff. Even Joe in finance was accommodating to our every request. Great job, I'll be back for sure.

Excellent customer service
Doug Fincher and Bill Dreaper are the best. I have bought no less than 6 or 7 vehicles from them and I actually bought a Dodge 3500 about a month ago and just traded it for my Denali 3500 because of the truck and exceptional customer service I have received.
Sep 19, 2018

Stopped in while just driving by and ended up with a great deal and very comfortable buying experience. They made the whole process very easy and smooth.

Smooth used car purchase
We called about a used car on the lot. Cody, the "Bear", had the car ready when we arrived. He was easy to deal with, no hassle, and very helpful. Best car buying experience we have had. Test drove the car, ate lunch, and. completed the paperwork all within a few hours. In and out quickly. Eric Bowsher helped us with ths financing.His service was great and found us the best rate for our financing. The whole.team.at Carl Black made sure we had a great car buying experience. We will definitely be back for another purchase.
Jan 12, 2019
Great day!
Went in and it didn't take long at all. We talked, made the deal and left. These guys are good, I'll be back next year to purchase for our daughter.

The best Dealership in Atlanta
Cody was so friendly, patient, knowledgeable and willing to work with us, took his time to answer my wife questions, she is very picky and hard to convince. He is simply the best car sales person I ever met. Also, Eric made the closing very easy, gave us different options and without being agresive convinced me and my wife about the great deal we got from Carl Black, no wonder I'm a repeat costumer. Thank you
Sep 22, 2018

Cody and the Carl Black team did a great job and made the process easy. We also got a great deal!! When I had to wait, the waiting area had everything I needed to be comfortable.

Cody McDowell
I came in about a month ago and explained my situation to Cody. I was looking for a new work truck and had a trade in but was not aware of my options. Cody did a great job of taking care of me and letting me know my options. When I get my extra $1000 for a dp I will be coming to purchase a Sierra with Cody
Jun 14, 2018
Best experience
I'm from out of state and when I found the car that I needed I went to Cody. Cody Sterling Hitman McDowell was the best. Very patient very honest very forthcoming and had no surprises. I was able to get my vehicle promptly, and on time. Cody Sterling Hitman McDowell is the one to go to. If you ever need a vehicle I will recommend him 100%
Jun 12, 2018
2018 GMC Sierra
Cody was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient during my week long back and forth. Finance and the overall deal was straight forward with little behind the scenes. I had questions that other dealers may be hesitant to answer, but the team gave honest and respectful responses. I had a couple fumbles with a title on my trade in (signed too many lines), but the team worked with me to get the new truck out the door with little worry. Really made me feel like I was working with people who cared, not just a business. Would recommend to friends and family (which is a hard thing for me to do when it comes to dealerships).
Jun 12, 2018
Making the Impossible Possible
When I thought It was impossible Cody made it possible. He provided me and my family the security of a reliable new car! My car used to fill up with water when it rained and Cody was quick, respectful and got the deal done knowing how much it would impact my families lives! Great customer service, passionate about what he does and makes the customer impact so rewarding! Thank you Cody for making my dream come true!

Cody is your GO TO GUY
If you're in the market for your next view cool don't go anywhere until you see Cody. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and Cody has been helping me for the last month find the exact car I was looking for. He also help me find cheap airfare tickets and even pick me up from the airport. He is definitely a true professional. What I like the most about my experience with him is not once did he treat me like I was a customer he treated me like we have been friends for a long time. Before you go anywhere else you definitely need to stop and see Cody 1st I promise you won't regret it. I live out of state and he has earned my business for life

JEEP owner
Working with Cody was a great experience! He made the whole process very simple.

Best dealership, great prices, Matthew Hernandez makes the h
I've shopped at various dealership all around Georgia due to me trading in every year for something new and have had some bad experiences and gone to some dealerships where I felt like all they cared about is the selling and wouldn't make the deal feel right. But when I came to carl black of Roswell and met Matthew Hernandez you makes you feel like your family and will work with you so you feel happy with your deal. He has always gave a great amount for my trade in and has gave me a great deal on my new purchase. Everyone that knows me asks me why I trade so often and I tell them its because I get deals from matt that I cant let go. I've bought over 25 vehicles from carl black of Roswell with Matthew and i will never go to another dealership unless he moves. Go get your deal done with Matthew you wont feel pressured like at other dealerships and he will work everything out with you that he can to make the deal happen. He is friendly, honest, and comprehensive on any deal you try to work with him. Dont miss out on the great deals they have at carl black of Roswell stop and see if they can help you out like they always help me out.

8 days after running credit app and no call.
8 days later and still no word from finance. My family and I have been to Carl Black GMC at least 4 times over the past few weeks looking at their cars. We worked with Brandon from the used cars department and he's been great for the most part. On Sunday June 30th we decided to fill out a credit app and discuss our trade in. We were probably there for a couple of hours, but not a big deal. Brandon then informed us that the finance department would contact us the next day (Monday July 1st). They never did. To make things worse. I went by there Monday July 8th (7 days no call) and told Brandon they haven't called us. He seemed to be upset about it and said he would get to the bottom of it. Well, it's now Tuesday. And still nothing. Not even a call from Brandon. After speaking with him, I was sure I would hear something from him, but nope. We've been car shopping for the past couple of weeks and are ready to buy. This is the only dealership we've been to that tossed us aside like this. This dealership is a huge disappointment.
Jun 27, 2019
Great experience
Brandon was a great sales guy. Helped me every step of the way and everything went smooth. Eric in Finance is Top Notch. Highly recommend these guys for your next vehicle.

Great Team Helped Me With My New Denali Purchase!
I want to take a moment to thank Brandon, Nick, Jon and Eric for their patience and understanding as I went through this sale. While I was hoping for the better GM Deal it seems you guys still got me a fair deal. Nick and Brandon thanks for taking the time to go over the vehicle with me and take me out on test drives. Jon helped put the final touches on the negotiations. Eric was very helpful in getting me to understand my finance options. This is my 5th GM product. I dug up a few old pics of the ones I could find. My first was a used 1986 Pontiac Grand Am which was also my first vehicle out of high school. My second vehicle was a 1990 GMC Sierra purchased Brand new and drove it to Fort Lee Va during Desert Storm and most of my time during the military. My third GM was a used 1996 Yukon I purchased back in 1997. My last GM before this purchase was a brand new 2002 Chevy Avalanche. I have some fond memories of all my vehicles and I am now looking forward to my family and I creating new ones with our new Denali.

Purchase of 2019 Enclave
We had an awesome experience purchasing our 2019 Enclave! We have used Carl Black Roswell for 11+ years for service with Doug Fincher. He is fantastic and takes care of us when we come in. Upon his recommendation (I asked), we spoke with Brandon Lytle. What a great guy to work with for sure! We actually found the exact car we wanted at another Carl Black and Brandon and his manager got us that vehicle and for a great deal and within that day. We drove off the lot that evening in oir brand new car! Can't say enough good things about them! From service to sales to finance, everyone was a pleasure to work with during the process.

Great customer service
Great customer service and no pressure. The sales staff answered all of my questions and were very helpful. Also the dealership had the vehicle I was looking for and they were willing to get a vehicle from one of their other locations if needed.
Nov 06, 2018
Nice low pressure dealership.
Everyone was very nice, patient, and helpful. Brandon Lytle was my salesman and he was very nice and informed on the vehicles. Their whole sales team from Brandon to Mike Bowsher was a very professional experience. I'm happy with my sierra slt. Thanks again Carl Black, and all the people involved.

What a great experience!
My wife and I elected to purchase the car we had on lease for the last three years. We went in on a Sunday morning and we're immediately taken care of by Brandon, who happened to be the original salesman who would helped us with our lease. He remembered us, and our family, that was impressive. The entire experience was spot on. We would highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a new car.

Good experience. Accessory Package is questionable
Sales staff is knowledgeable, not high pressure but not afraid to ask how to earn your business. They place a $1500 accessory package on the selling price that includes a First Place Finish Application (basically a quasi-clear coat to the paint), Aquapel (rainx type stuff on windshield), Brake Plus (a smart brake that blinks when you tap it), a maintenance plan and wheel locks. None of these items are needed but they are added to the price as the finish, brake and aquapel are already applied to the vehicle before you buy it. Negotiate these things. I found the finish was applied to my black vehicle without a proper application of rubbing compound to bring the finish back first so you basically put clear over cloudy. I spent 8 hours with rubbing compound to alleviate that. My suggestion to Carl Black is instead of charging monies for accessories that aren't needed just to preserve the margin, why not have the vehicle truly detailed or offer that as an add on. Like any vehicle purchase, do your homework first. My experience was good because I did just that.

Awesome experience
Juan was so friendly and knowledgeable about my new car. He helped me through the whole experience. Will definitely be back to see him again

Best dealership, great prices, Matthew Hernandez makes the h
I've shopped at various dealership all around Georgia due to me trading in every year for something new and have had some bad experiences and gone to some dealerships where I felt like all they cared about is the selling and wouldn't make the deal feel right. But when I came to carl black of Roswell and met Matthew Hernandez you makes you feel like your family and will work with you so you feel happy with your deal. He has always gave a great amount for my trade in and has gave me a great deal on my new purchase. Everyone that knows me asks me why I trade so often and I tell them its because I get deals from matt that I cant let go. I've bought over 25 vehicles from carl black of Roswell with Matthew and i will never go to another dealership unless he moves. Go get your deal done with Matthew you wont feel pressured like at other dealerships and he will work everything out with you that he can to make the deal happen. He is friendly, honest, and comprehensive on any deal you try to work with him. Dont miss out on the great deals they have at carl black of Roswell stop and see if they can help you out like they always help me out.

Bait and switch
Carl Black had multiple (vin) vehicles listed on their website for 16,000.00. They thought they were giving a good deal after rebates for 20,000.00. Asked about the vehicles advertised on the website and was told they "weren't seeing it". They did see it when I pulled it up on my phone. Blatant bait and switch. go elsewhere. Whish I checked Yelp before wasting time and gas.

Porn, family violence linked to surge in child-on-child sex abuse cases
The number of children sexually abusing other children has risen steeply, with treatment services reporting that pornography and family violence are fuelling the trend.
Children as young as four are being referred to programs for problem sexual behaviour as more parents and schools detect abuse in the family home and in the playground.
The Royal Children's Hospital's Gatehouse service saw 350 new cases in the past financial year – more than double the previous year. Of those children, 60 per cent were abusing a sibling; more than 90 per cent had experienced or witnessed family violence.
Experts say the seriousness of the sexual acts has escalated in recent years and that online pornography is often being used as a "teaching manual" for abuse…
…"One of the most concerning cohorts for us is the very young kids – the children who are under 12 or even under 10 and their sexually abusive behaviour is quite severe. We're seeing a lot more of anal, oral and vaginal penetration of younger children," said forensic psychologist Russell Pratt, who spent 12 years with the Centre Against Sexual Assault and is one of Australia's leading authorities on sexualised behaviour in children.
…Social commentator Melinda Tankard Reist, co-founder of Collective Shout For A World Free of Sexploitation, said a tipping point had been reached and government regulation of online pornography was needed.
"How much worse does it have to get? How many more five-year-olds do we want to have in treatment programs until we say maybe it shouldn't be a free-for-all where kids can access torture porn and rape porn and incest porn? Children are being groomed to think this stuff is normal." Read full article.

News Archives - 1998
Sea Flowers to premiere at Augsburg
Soprano Janet Gottschall and Pianist Lynn Baker, long-time music collaborators, will present Le Jardin Mouille, a recital of songs with focused images of flowers and water. Performances will take place in New York City, Oct. 30, and in Minneapolis, Nov. 8, 1998. The program that centers around Fried's Sea Flowers, will also include works of Charles Griffes, Reynaldo Hahn, Faure, Poulenc, and Monteverdi.
The inspiration for Fried's Sea Flowers was Eddy Flowers, a family friend living with HIV. Fried writes, "I wanted the piece to be about survival in difficult conditions, the fragility of life and hope. Finding H.D.'s 'Sea Garden' was fortuitous--a group of poems about delicate flowers surviving in the difficult terrain of the sea shore. These texts are a perfect match for the theme of the cycle and includes Eddy Flowers directly as a subject." Fried has frequently set text by expatriate women poets of the 1920s.
Gottschall and Baker have performed together in recital frequently since 1986. The major focus of their collaboration is threefold: to promote the performance of vocal music as chamber music and demonstrate the partnership of singer and pianist; to celebrate through performance the synergy of poetry and music; and, to express artistic commitment through imaginative programming and performances which include the audience as a collaborator. Sea Flowers is Fried's second work written for the duo.
Gottschall has performed in a variety of mediums including opera, recital, music theater, and performance art. She has appeared with The Opera Orchestra of New York, Minnesota Opera, and Mid-Michigan Opera Theater and recently created the role of Bernice in Nautilus Music-Theater's Lamentations by Kim Sherman and Paul Zelig. Gottschall lives in Minnesota and teaches at Augsburg College, MacPhail Center for the Arts, and The Center for Performing Arts.
Baker is a vocal coach and collaborative pianist in New York City. For several seasons she has been an assistant conductor at New York City Opera and previously was associate coach of The Juilliard Opera Center. Baker has coached and performed with Washington Opera, Spoleto Festival USA, Pittsburgh Opera Center, Opera Delaware, and Des Moines Metro Opera. She has worked closely with composers on premieres of new works including Tonkin by Conrad Cummings, The Singing Child by GianCarlo Menotti and Songs of Love, Water, and Nature by Philip Fried.
In 1995 Fried received a Ph.D. in Music Composition from the University of Chicago where his primary teacher was Ralph Shapey. Fried has had performances and residencies at The Tanglewood Music Festival, The Festival at Sandpoint, June in Buffalo, Music of Our Time, and Centre Acanthes. Awards include a Fromm Foundation Commission Grant and the American Composers Forum's Composers Commissioning Grant. He continues to receive ASCAP Standard Awards. Fried resides in Minnesota, composing and teaching.
Le Jardin Mouille will be performed Sunday, November 8, at 4 p.m. in Sateren Auditorium on the Augsburg campus. No reservations are required, but there is a $10 suggested donation. For more information, call (612) 825-7542.

I know that I've addressed this time and time and time again… buuuuuuuuut I'm going to harp on it again because of an article I read this week that totally matched up with some of my non-scientific observations.
People: we have GOT to sleep more!
We have just got to get our rears. in. bed.
I mean, just look at this infographic from the Huffington Post! Two of their major points are connected with weight gain and eating! Obviously that's going to get our attention, but… well, maybe it SHOULD get our attention! {Don't worry, I have a few tips below it to help us!}
So, can we just agree to do whatever it takes to get our rears in bed tonight in time to fall asleep?
And I'm not saying get your rear in bed at bedtime… I'm saying that we need to put a system in place that gets our bodies in bed, relaxed, and
get ready for sleep before bedtime!
So, here are a few of my little "tricks" for getting my rear in there!
- GET UP: No one likes this one so I'm just going to get it out of the way: get your body out of bed at the same time, every day and don't get more than 8 hours of sleep. (Okay, okay, sleep in on Saturday if you want!) If you are trying to get your body into a habit of getting to sleep at night, waking up in the morning is THE most important thing to do. It might mean a few days of dragging yourself out of bed and just muddling through the day but eventually this can really help you to get to sleep at night because… well, because you'll be exhausted! But that exhaustion will wear off when you start falling asleep easily (or easier, at least) at night.
- DO THE MATH: Figure out what time you need to go to sleep (as in "lights out") in order to get 8 hours of sleep… even if this means that you need turn the lights out at 9:30, give it a go for a few weeks and see how it makes you feel. Then, plan backwards: 15-30 minutes before "lights out", you need to be in bed with tech off. I have read the research that supports that your mind can't "chill out" with the lights of tech in it. And that includes the phone, the laptop, the TV, etc. Now, go backwards more:. 15 minutes before being in bed you need to start getting ready for bed: brushing teeth, washing your face, PJs on, etc. If you look at the "math" this really needs to be happening 45 minutes before "lights out".
- HEAT IT UP: One of my favorite tricks for helping me go to sleep is the heating pad. Lay the heating pad down so that it aligns with your spine (to clarify: so that the bottom of the heating pad is just above your rear and the top of the heating pad is on your shoulders). Put it at whatever temperature you are comfortable with and turn out the lights. The heat will relax all of your extremities and your core making it easier to drift off.
- COUNT DOWN: I actually learned this little trick in my high school psychology class from a video that the coach popped in one day, but I have used it time and time again! Lights out, on your back, start with your toes. Make yourself very aware of relaxing your toes (it sounds funny but give it a try) and countdown from 10 with each number relaxing your toes more. Next, move to the balls of your feet and countdown from 10, then move to the arches counting down from 10, then your heels, your ankles, calves, knees, etc. {Honestly, I don't think I've ever made it to my knees before falling asleep.}
- THINK ABOUT BED AT 2PM: I know I'm gonna have some haters over this one, but really… if you have trouble sleeping at night, make sure that you are cutting off all caffeine by 2pm. You might have trouble even making it to bed the first few days if you have some withdrawal. For some people this can be a huge key to falling asleep easier.
I actually got into being very deliberate about going to sleep when I realized that I am one of those people that simply MUST meet with Jesus every morning before the day starts if I want to be a good person and to help me focus my mind on Him instead of food. And in order for me to meet with Jesus, I just have to get to sleep on time or I canNOT drag my rear out of bed. So, honestly… this whole sleep thing. It might just help out more than just your weight.
Okay, so there are my five (and I think I might have crammed several into number 2 up there), but I knwo that there are other tricks of the trade: let's help each other out! What are your non-medication tricks for falling asleep at night?

Venezuela-born Dano started out in film-making but knew from an early age that his true vocation was the dramatic world of video games. He completed a Masters in game development here in Barcelona, and his adventure at Social Point kicked off a year later. Dano is our iOS Project Manager for Dragon City. He is, in other words, a Dragon Master!
Dano, what attracted you to Social Point?
A mix of opportunities to grow professionally and be part of the biggest creative team in Barcelona. Social Pointers are driven by an infectious passion – from the first dragon baby to the last line of code implementation – that makes working here unlike anywhere else.
And what does a Project Manager do?
Well, it's our job to ensure that everyone else is doing their job in a sense. We have a to know what's going on in all the departments and ensure that our programers, artists, designers and business teams are in sync. We're also right at the coal face in terms of planning, scheduling, time management and spotting those potential problems before they become problems. I read somewhere that product managers can't make everyone happy all the time, but they can keep everyone productive. I guess I'd go along with that.
How did you get into gaming, Dano?
Ah, I think I was born to make games. Since I was little, I've always been fascinated by video games. I remember this clear moment as a kid, when I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (for the millionth time). I heard myself saying: Hey, there are people out there actually making this, and reaching other people through their art. I want to do this too!
From that moment on I knew what I wanted to do. Fifteen years later, here I am. I studied cinema directing and producing. My first baby steps in the video game industry were as a low-poly 3D artist, then a QA manager and finally a fully fledged Product Manager. And I have loved every day of the journey.
Any advice for would-be product managers out there?
Be the best at being the best. Learn and know a little bit of everything. Be the guy or the girl that people can rely on!
And finally, Dano – the big reveal! Who is your favorite game character?
The bad-ass Lava Dragon. He looks amazing – like a rock star. And he behaves like a puppy. What more could you want?
Dano and Lava Dragon at Social Point HQ.
If you are looking for a challenge and you'd like to join our team, why not take a look at our JOBS page and check out the current job openings? You might just find the perfect fit!

A few months ago on one of the DYI shows, I saw an electrical heating system for bathrooms without heating ducts. Putting it simply, it was like a giant heating pad (about 6'x6' and about 1/4 to 1/2" thick) that installed under the ceramic tile. The concept was that it heated the ceramic tile, and provided radiant heat. Has anyone heard of such a product? If so, where can I find them, what are the called, etc. Any help would be Greatly appreciated.

Man Utd buys out BSkyB stake in club's TV channel
MANCHESTER United have taken full ownership of their in-house television channel by buying out a minority stake held by pay TV broadcaster BSkyB.
MUTV was set up as a three-way joint venture in 1998 between the club, BSkyB and commercial broadcaster ITV. United acquired ITV's stake in 2007 and said the latest deal would allow it control over content and distribution of a channel available in 57 countries.
Financial terms were not disclosed. MUTV employs around 60 people and has offices in central Manchester and facilities at the club's Old Trafford Stadium and training ground.
The United channel offers in-depth interviews and archive action from United, who claim to have more than 650 million followers worldwide. It does not show live Premier League games.
Media companies invested in a number of top English soccer clubs in the late 1990s, eager to try to tie up content deals that would help drive digital television take-up.
BSkyB tried to buy out United in 1999 but the British government blocked the deal on competition grounds.
Those ownership ties have largely unravelled in recent years as the 20 Premier League clubs have opted to sell their television rights collectively to broadcasters including BSkyB. United's Premier League rivals Chelsea bought out BSkyB's stake in their digital media business last year.
United are now owned by the American Glazer family who retained a tight grip on the club after a flotation on the New York Stock Exchange last year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Her body weak, her voice rich and strong, Maya Angelou sang, lectured and reminisced as she accepted a lifetime achievement award Thursday night from the Norman Mailer Center.
The 85-year-old author, poet, dancer and actress was honored during a benefit gala at the New York Public Library, the annual gathering organized by the Mailer Center and writers colony . Seated in a wheelchair, she was a vivid presence in dark glasses and a sparkling black dress as she marveled that a girl from a segregated Arkansas village could grow up to become a literary star.
"Imagine it," she said, "a town so prejudiced black people couldn't even eat vanilla ice cream."
Angelou was introduced by her former editor at Random House, Robert Loomis, and she praised him for talking her into writing her breakthrough memoir, the million-selling "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." The key was suggesting to her that the book might be too hard to write.
The people who knew her best, she explained, understood that "if you want to get Maya Angelou to do so something, tell her she can't."
Angelou, a longtime resident of North Carolina, will be back in Manhattan next month to collect an honorary National Book Award medal.
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Diaz and the late author-journalist Michael Hastings also received prizes Thursday. Hastings' widow, Elise, teared up as she accepted a journalism award on behalf of her husband, who died in a car accident last summer at age 33.
She recalled that Hastings, best known for a Rolling Stone story about the U.S. war in Afghanistan that led to the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, felt a kinship with for the brilliant and troublesome Mailer. When the couple fought, she said, he would point out that in "comparison to Mailer he was a great husband," a reference to a notorious incident in which Mailer stabbed his wife.
Hastings was a "dissident, a cynical idealist and a breathtaking writer," she said.
The dinner event was the fifth gala for the Mailer center, named for the celebrated author who died in 2007 and dedicated to helping writers "across all genres who seek artful ways to express themselves and provoke meaningful discussion about our society."
Previous honorees include Toni Morrison, Keith Richards and Robert Caro.

Commercial and defense aerospace markets set to follow divergent trajectories in 2013
Commercial production rising. Defense budgets falling. Economic uncertainties and regional instabilities that could affect both. That is the world the aerospace and defense industry faces entering 2013, and which is examined in detail in the pages that follow.
But if there is one theme that recurs frequently through this latest edition of Aviation Week's annual forecast issue, it is China and its growing financial, industrial, political and military influence on aerospace and defense globally.
By flying two new stealth fighter prototypes, operating an aircraft from a navy carrier for the first time (pictured) and unveiling a range of unmanned-aircraft designs over the past two years China, at least in the eyes of the public, has narrowed the U.S.'s technological lead.
In the commercial world, China continues to be a major buyer of Western airliners and a growing market for business jets. The country has also cemented its position as a leading financer of the global air transport industry through its December acquisition of U.S. lessor International Lease Finance Corp. for $4.8 billion.
But it is China's ambitions as a manufacturer that have caught the most attention. Although it is struggling to certificate the 90-seat ARJ21, Comac is pushing ahead with development of the 160-seat C919 to challenge Airbus and Boeing. Plans to buy Hawker Beechcraft out of bankruptcy collapsed in late 2012, but with its market and its money few doubt China will become a major player in business aviation through acquisitions and coproduction. Avionics and engines are next on Beijing's target list.
For the first time, Aviation Week's annual forecast issue incorporates the global military analysis of our Defense Technology Edition and detailed commercial maintenance, repair and overhaul insights of our MRO Edition, as well as Aviation Week & Space Technology's outlooks for individual industry sectors ranging from combat aircraft to communications satellites.
Also for the first time, five-year forecast data produced by Aviation Week Intelligence Network's own analysts are presented, providing projections for combat aircraft, military transports, rotorcraft and commercial aircraft deliveries for 2013-17, as well as detailed analyses of projected MRO demand.
What emerges is a picture of an industry on divergent trajectories. For the large commercial aircraft sector, 2013 will see order-taking moderate, but production rates increase to record levels. The year will also see the first flights of key new aircraft: the Airbus A350, Bombardier CSeries and Mitsubishi MRJ. Business aviation remains flat, but the rotorcraft sector is rebounding.
For the defense and security sector, 2013 will see lower spending globally and a focus on squeezing more out of existing platforms. Progress on developing the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will be crucial, with the international partners increasingly concerned about escalating costs. For the space sector, the hope is 2013 will see solid backing for the fledgling transition to commercial from government launch services. Commercial suborbital passenger flights are also expected to begin by year-end.
Aerospace 2013 has been prepared with analysis and data from Forecast International Inc. in Newtown, Conn.

Recently, I've been programming a simple application on Swing, ad I did it the following way:
1. Create the abstract App class, who extends JFrame and implements various listeners. Initialize all the GUI in that class, assign this as a listener to whatever needs to be listened, but not to implement the listeners' methods.
2. Create the abstract AppBehaviour class, who extends App class. Implement all the listeners' methods there, but "not too detailed". That is, we create additional abstract methods to encapsulate some operations, like downloading pictures from the internet (say, abstract downloadNextPicture()). And in listeners' methods we just provide a certain logics for these methods (say, if we are connected to the Internet, and time is less then 13:00, than call downloadNextPicture()).
3. Create the concrete AppActions class who extends AppBehaviour class and implements all the abstract methods from this class.
Can you provide your thoughts about the ease of understanding and maintenance of this pattern? What are it's benefits and cons?
