For me to even conversate with someone that has no business aspect in life other than wearing a suite is quite despicable. When dealing with Brandon I felt as I was dealing with a young inexperienced kid rather than dealing with someone that was capable of showing me something or being capable of atleast enlightening me on some valuable information as far as the purchasing experience goes. It kind of reminded me of the Rooster & the chicken hawk on Looney tunes. When the lil chicken hawk is always trying to out smart the Rooster. So basically one of my biggest business decisions apart from starting my own business or purchasing a home felt like a cartoon. I haven't dealt with any other sales person so I can't really speak about anyone else but I would still be aware of doing business with any of them just in case. They will take advantage of tje situation if their capable. Take your time purchasing a vehicle because the sales rep job is to convince you of what you should do. Only you know what's best for yourself. As a shame as it is some people are sellouts for an extra buck so figure things out for yourself. More

When Shopping for a Car, Stop HERE first Came to visit my sister so we could shop for a car for her. Our first stop was Gates GMC Nissan. We did see one car that was a bit over the budget b Came to visit my sister so we could shop for a car for her. Our first stop was Gates GMC Nissan. We did see one car that was a bit over the budget but was in the running because of its history and clean presentation. Test drove great but we needed to see what else was out there. After a 300+ mile road trip around Connecticut, the available used cars AND the salesmen did not compare to the vehicle and salesman experience we had at Gates. A little over an hour away from them, we called to say we were headed back. Our arrival was going to be past closing time and the response we got was, "no problem, I'll wait". I told our salesman that we just wanted to see it and drive it again and that it was not a sold vehicle. When we arrived, he absolutely was still there, the car had been washed, pulled up and another test drive was happening. We knew this was the one. However, because Nick, our Salesman, was going to be off the following day, we waited til he was on to come back to buy. The budget was super tight and just like any used car buyer, we wanted it to be as close to new in appearance. Nick worked hard with the detail crew for us and was able to approve an order on touch up paint for the stone chips on the car. The drivers side mirror had a small crack in the trim piece. So yes, it wasnt how we wanted it to be. Nick spoke with service and they quoted an astronomical price to buy a replacement mirror assembly. I looked on Amazon and found exactly what was needed for a tenth of the price. As soon as it comes the service department will install it without any issues. So, long story short, SO HAPPY, Nick is amazing and Gates GMC Nissan is a friendly place to buy your next car, new or used... Give them a test drive!! Ask for Nick. Doubt you will regret it. More
