Buddy Rue went above and beyond to help me lease a vehicle that would ultimately meet a list of dealbreakers on my end. I have not dealt with car prices since before the pandemic; the shock and horro vehicle that would ultimately meet a list of dealbreakers on my end. I have not dealt with car prices since before the pandemic; the shock and horror I experienced at the UNBELIEVABLE increases in car prices post pandemic was completely unexpected. Buddy was EXTREMELY empathetic to my specific situation and financial constraints. Buddy is professional, knowledgeable, very responsive and listened to what I was asking for versus trying to push a car I could not afford. I provide customer service for a living so my expectations are high for the type I customer service I should be receiving. Buddy absolutely exceeded my expectations! I have no hesitation in saying you should give Buddy a call if you are looking for a car .... he will definitely help you find the right car for you at a price that won't empty your bank account!

Allll of the nice things This was the best car-buying experience that I've had so far. My previous vehicle had been totaled and I was dealing with the stress of that situation This was the best car-buying experience that I've had so far. My previous vehicle had been totaled and I was dealing with the stress of that situation while also (thanks, Kentucky weather!) having a pretty terrible sinus infection. Brandon, Frank, and Buddy were all incredibly helpful and patient, answering all of our questions and providing an incredibly low-pressure buying experience. I never felt like there were any pricing "games" or like I couldn't have time to think through my decision if I had wanted it - and being sick, my patience was running low and any of those things probably would have driven me away. Having previously owned 2 Kias, I was a bit skeptical about switching brands, but my overall dealership experience was so much better than when buying my previous vehicles, that Gates has a new Hyundai convert. Not only is the vehicle fantastic, but I can't say enough good things about the staff at Gates. Thank you! More
