Fantastic caring and understanding service from all areas In March 2014 I was able to lease a brand new Nissan Versa Note thanks to Brian and Nick. In July of 2016 I received a letter letting me know that Nis In March 2014 I was able to lease a brand new Nissan Versa Note thanks to Brian and Nick. In July of 2016 I received a letter letting me know that Nissan was giving me a 2 month forgiveness on current lease payments. I went in and the plan was to keep the 2014 Versa as I loved the car and it only had 17,770 miles on it. and I had no money to even think about replacing it as I'd just lost my husband. Tara was my new contact as Brian had recently moved on to better things. She was very understanding of my wants and other situations and explained that I might be better of in the long run if I replaced the 2014. 1 New lease would be fully warranteed. 2. I'd get another 4 free service checks over the next 2 yrs and 3 Nissan had already approved my credit due to my current credit and on time payments on it. Needless to say we got right to work on test driving a 2016 Nissan Sentra.. Although I was not overly impressed with it at the time (the 1 we test drove had things I didn't want or need and I didn't care for the color.) When we got back to the dealership Tara immediately check inventory at other locations and found the color and options I was looking for in southern New Hampshire and they could have it here and ready for me to pick up Monday morning. The car I know lease was driven 152 miles by Nissan employees from it's original location in Portsmouth, NH to this dealership in CT and that is the only mileage that was on the car when I picked it up. I have since moved to upstate New Hampshire and have a total of 1850 miles on the car to date. Tar and the service department have been in contact with making sure all is well and even though I'm 6 hrs away I'm still able to come to CT for my free service when i come down to visit family. Thank you all for your wonderful service to me and the community at large. More

Ease of Service I have to say Bob Lussier is always considerate of our needs when we need to buy a car. We have five children and they are now quite tall. We need a v I have to say Bob Lussier is always considerate of our needs when we need to buy a car. We have five children and they are now quite tall. We need a vehicle with more leg room. Bob took the time to find us a beautiful SUV and made sure that it would not break the bank. We appreciate how very thoughtful he is and the entire Gates crew. This is the 6th vehicle we have bought through Gates. We wouldn't trade our dealership for anything. Thank you for being such a family oriented dealership!!!!! More

Tara rocks Tara went to great lengths to find just the right vehicle for me. I had very specific options that I wanted and I am used to getting what I want. My Tara went to great lengths to find just the right vehicle for me. I had very specific options that I wanted and I am used to getting what I want. My husband spoils me to a ridiculous degree. Tara had to search far and wide to find my Terrain that was residing in upstate NY. I really wanted it before the Thanksgiving holiday so she had one of their drivers rent a car and drive through a threatening snow storm to procure it. It's perfect and so is Tara's service. Thanks, Tara! More
