Excellent car leasing experience This is our second lease experience and both of them have been supremely excellent. We were greeted at the door Saturday and asked if we needed help o This is our second lease experience and both of them have been supremely excellent. We were greeted at the door Saturday and asked if we needed help or seeing someone on the staff. We told him we had an appointment with Steve Sanders. We were about 15 minutes early so I hit the rest room and when I came out he was ready to go. Great experience with Chris in finance also. Everyone at this dealership goes out their way to make sure you have a good experience. Won't hesitate to buy/lease another car from here. We have also had good experiences with service department and body shop in the past. Will definitely let other people know about this dealership!!!!!!! More
Glad I decided to look at a Ford Ranger Buying vehicles is not my favorite job, but Steve and Harley turned it into a great experience and I really like the Ranger. And the 20yr 200,000 mil Buying vehicles is not my favorite job, but Steve and Harley turned it into a great experience and I really like the Ranger. And the 20yr 200,000 mile warranty helped seal the deal More

Excellent Service I had an excellent experience this week trading in my vehicle. Steve made picking out my new vehicle easy and fun. He answered my questions with NO I had an excellent experience this week trading in my vehicle. Steve made picking out my new vehicle easy and fun. He answered my questions with NO PRESSURE answers. Management helped make the deal smooth and quick. Off to finance with Gary who made that process as quick as possible as well. The delivery team made sure I knew how to use all the features on my new vehicle and made it clear I could come to them any time with questions. All in all, this was the best car buying experience for me. I would highly recommend Steve Sanders or any of their amazing sells team at Charles Gabus Ford. More
Transmission went out on 2014 Ford Fusion with 27K miles I bought my 2014 Ford Fusion in April 2017 with only 4,500 miles on it, the transmission went out of it in July 2018 with only 27K miles on the car. I bought my 2014 Ford Fusion in April 2017 with only 4,500 miles on it, the transmission went out of it in July 2018 with only 27K miles on the car. I took it to gabus on July 3rd and told them that I thought the transmission was acting up and they said they would take a look at it; they called me later that day and told me that the transmission was bad and that ford required them to tear the transmission apart to see if it was repairable. I asked how long that would take and they said they should know by the end of the week. I called them on Friday the 6th of July and was told that they were still working on it; I called again on Monday the 9th and was told that the tech working on my car was off that day. I let them know that I was frustrated it was taking so long and was reassured that they would have an answer by the next day. I asked how long it would take to repair or replace and was told that they would be able to have it done by the end of the week either way. They called me on the 10th and said that the transmission was not repairable and they were going to put a new remanufactured transmission in it, they said again they would have it done by the end of the week. I got a call on the 11th stating that the transmission was on back order and it would be at least 1-2 weeks before they got one in. I said that was fine and asked that they change the oil while it was in there, they said not a problem we will take care of it. I received a call on Monday the 23rd of July and was told that the transmission was in and it would be ready the next day. I picked up my car and they said nothing about being sorry for taking 21 days to repair my car, then they charged me $50.00 for the oil change. I was also told that one of the rear struts was bad on the car as well and they offered to fix it for $400.00 "to replace both rear struts" and by the way that is NOT under warranty even though the car only has 27K Miles on it. I am not at all impressed with their service department and will think twice before buying anything there again. Nick Molln More
