They forged my signature on a contract and sent it to the finance company. It changed my trade value by 8k, the residual on the lease was higher. I told them about it and they didn’t give a care in the world. The worst part is they haven’t even made it right and I bought this truck in October of last year. Go to Heyward Allen if you want a GMC. Same pricing, and they are honest. Don’t buy from these crooks!!!

Most unfriendly auto dealer ever. A 12:00 lol change appointment took 2 1/2 hours. Price of 143.00 for simple GMC Yukon is unbelievable high. They did not do the 120 point inspection as advertised.

I had a great car-buying experience. We found a great used car in our price range at this dealership. Lenell Whitsey and Richard Bishop were very helpful and friendly. There were no hi-pressure decisions or tactics and they were patient and polite while we talked through all of our options. It was a busy Saturday and we still received 100% of their attention. We also got a GREAT deal. I'll be back for sure when I can afford the new Sierra. Highly recommend!

The items fixed have not been repaired properly.
The items fixed have not been repaired properly. Still have maintenance lights on, still have loud squeaky brakes, and have been given no feedback on the oil leak. Was told I would have to bring it back when they could look into it more. Why? The car was with the service department for the day. I’m having to bring my car back for the third time to try and get the items fixed. My overall experience is poor

What an absolute dream of a transaction I had when
What an absolute dream of a transaction I had when purchasing my Sierra1500. Jamie and his team did everything they could to make this transaction as painless as possible. We did everything over email and text and I was in and out in under 30 mins. They even offered to deliver the car to me knowing the hectic week we were having. I declined because I wanted to see the car before we purchased but was very nice of them. Best car buying experience I have had in my 35 years of buying cars.
