A young man named Stephen came over and asked me if I needed any help. He hadn't even Punched in for work yet. He listened to exactly what I was looking for. I was impressed with both the service dept and the sales. More
Andy Caldwell = Auto Industry Gold I'm talking about a guy who gives you your space yet is attentive to your questions at the same. Never a hard sell, seemed genuinely interested in put I'm talking about a guy who gives you your space yet is attentive to your questions at the same. Never a hard sell, seemed genuinely interested in putting my family in the proper vehicle to fit our needs. I think it's a cultural thing over there because the service seemed to stem from the top. Craig Gates, Denny Gates and Eric Gates' support did not go unnoticed. You go to a family dealership and get treated like family. NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT. More
Awesome first time experience Being only 18 and trying to get approved for a new car with no co-signer is very difficult after being disappointed multiple times with other dealersh Being only 18 and trying to get approved for a new car with no co-signer is very difficult after being disappointed multiple times with other dealerships I finally came across Columbia ford Kia where they got me in a new car with no issues and explained everything to me and were as helpful as possible More

No pressure sales at all! I will definitely be going back and will tell others of my great experience. More
Prices or rediculus Well let’s start with diagnosis. Told not the starter or alternator. So had them Change battery . Then was told it’s the alternator at a price of $400 Well let’s start with diagnosis. Told not the starter or alternator. So had them Change battery . Then was told it’s the alternator at a price of $400. Plus 4 hours labor ridiculous. Then was Told cabin filter needed to be changed and brakes needed to have work done . Car was there for a checkup two months earlier oil change and to have brakes looked at all was ok at that time. so for a battery and a alternator plus labor $1195 very unexceptable. Then while driving the day later the car stalls again in traffic.very unsatisfied . More
Very pleasant employees I have now bought 3 cars from Gates. The employees are always very pleasant. I would recommend more of an initial outreach to repeat customers to r I have now bought 3 cars from Gates. The employees are always very pleasant. I would recommend more of an initial outreach to repeat customers to reward their loyalty and encourage them to make their next purchase there, as well. I wasn't offered any sort of reduction, or increase benefit, and when I mentioned my disappointment, I was asked if I had asked for any. If my continued patronage is valued, I shouldn't have to ask, it should be offered. For me, the monthly payments, and not the total price tag, were my main concern, and I made it clear that I was looking to keep the payments around $150. When the financing came in at the top of the forecast range, no effort was made to lower it, until I expressed my dissatisfaction. Ultimately, the amount offered for my trade was increased, and the price lowered, for a combined $500, which was appreciated, but I would have felt more valued as a customer if I hadn't had to haggle for it. I don't pick up the car until Tuesday, so I can't yet express an opinion on the car, but I am optimistic, and believe that I will come to Gates for my next car, as much for the employees, as anything else. I also think a more realistic estimate of times, when getting a customer to come in to fill out paperwork, would be an improvement. Much like when I closed on my Wife's Kia, I was asked to come in for about 1/2 an hour, to complete paperwork, and it ended up taking about 1-1/2 hours. I expected it, this time, but I still found it annoying. Like everyone, my time is valuable, and I would feel that the dealership felt the same if they gave me an honest expectation of how long it will take to get things done. These are meant to be suggestions to improve the next customer's experience, more than a complaint. Ultimately, I ended up buying a car for more than I wanted to spend, with features I didn't want, and I hope that I get as much out of it as I did my last car. If I do, I will be back for my next car, I am sure. More
