Dennis was very helpful and knowledgable about the guns I was looking at.

I’ve had poor experiences with advances before, but In the last five or so years and with the opening of different locations that really stepped up their customer service

My experience was great as always, the only time vance’s has less than great service is when they are busy which is a expected.
