I worked with Chris hands on during the creation of our CRM with iMagic Lab. He was a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what I was looking for in a CRM. Chris is a car guy… a very good car guy that thinks how we think and talks how we talk. I trusted him with each and every one of our sales associates and they were all open and excited to work with him and iMagic Lab. I would strongly recommend Chris in whatever he does.
