In 1974 I started up Arnolds Lawn and Garden Equipment, a John Deere dealership in Milton. In 1975 Jim Gorman asked me if he brought his cars down from Elmira would I be his salesman for him. We had Gorruds and Arnolds side by side and I sold cars for Gorruds and ran Arnolds till 1988. At that time I sold Arnolds and stayed selling for Gorruds. I am proud to say in 2013 I am still part of the family run business in the Gorruds Auto Group. I have stayed with Gorruds as I know I can give good quality service both at time of sale and after sale. I treat people the way I would want to be treated and try to give the customer what they are looking for. I now sell by appointment and/or referrals or overflow on the floor. On my off time I enjoy playing with my antique tractors and my 1940 Dodge truck, as my wife and 2 sons and I are members of the Milton Steam Era club.

Once again Gorrud's Come up with the perfect vehicle Not because I wanted to but because I had to (totalled My much loved Dodge Journey April 5, 2017) so had to replace. As we have two fairly large dog Not because I wanted to but because I had to (totalled My much loved Dodge Journey April 5, 2017) so had to replace. As we have two fairly large dog's who love to go for rides we needed something with space at the back to accommodate them. Fred, Danny, May Lynn & Mallory all helped us make this possible at a price that we as seniors could manage. I don't feel I have driven my car long enough to rate it against my previous Journey (also bought at Gorruds) but know it certainly comfortable. More

This is my second purchase from Gorrud's as my first purchase was a pick up truck several years ago. More

I purchased my vehicle in early February and have been meaning to do this for s I have to apologize for how long it has taken me to write this review. I purchased my vehicle in early February and have been meaning to do this for some time. I have to say that my experience at Gorrud's was amazing. From the moment I met with Fred Arnold I knew he was 100% invested in finding me the vehicle I wanted. He was knowledgeable and helpful and would like to thank him for making the process smooth and easy. I would also like to thank Kevin in financing, who also help me so much through that process. I could not have asked for better service and treatment. I would also like to mention that I was pressed for time to get back on the road and everyone at Gorrud's made it happen. I'm loving my vehicle... Thank you Gorrud's staff Tenille Lou-hing More
