Drove from Arkansas to buy a preowned 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness from John Thornton Chevrolet in Lithia Springs, due to the price being literally $5k cheaper than what I would have been forced to pay in Wilderness from John Thornton Chevrolet in Lithia Springs, due to the price being literally $5k cheaper than what I would have been forced to pay in my neck of the woods. Worth the trip!! My sales rep, Tyler Rossi, made the whole deal smooth and easy, and once I got to the dealership the transaction was quick and painless. Vehicle was in mint condition and I am enjoying every second of driving it!! There was a small hangup with post-sales paperwork but Savannah Silvers in the finance dept took care of everything so I didn't even have to go to my local DMV to get it straightened out. I appreciate all the great customer service and support I got from this dealership, thank you!! More

Jackson did an incredible job recommending a truck for me. Even though he was seeing two customers at the same time, he provided the best customer experience I have ever had when buying a vehicle.

I purchased a used Trailblazer in October and less than 5 days later the brakes failed while I was driving home on 20, going 70mph. I had to use the emergency brake to stop on the side of the road. The mecha days later the brakes failed while I was driving home on 20, going 70mph. I had to use the emergency brake to stop on the side of the road. The mechanic it was towed to said the brake line was completely rusted out and needed to be replaced. The manager at JT Chevrolet told me I bought the car 'as is' and they had no obligation to repair it. They called me back a little while later saying if I could get it towed there, they'd fix it as a gesture of goodwill. Fine, the brakes are still very soft, but I'm at least able to stop. Last month while changing the battery, I found that instead of a metal super connector, there was a literal piece of lamp cord that had been stripped on both ends. Additionally, I had to replace two tires due to slow leaks, the washer fluid reservoir is completely cracked, the belt was cracked and worn, and I had to replace the headlights. There is a oil pressure error on it now and it leaks slowly. I've probably spent more on it than its worth at this point. I would never recommend buying a used vehicle here. They clearly just washed it and threw it on the lot without opening the hood or checking under it, at all. These are things that even a Jiffy Lube would notice but apparently their service department cannot. If I could go back to October, I'd buy somewhere else. I just don't feel safe in the vehicle, but also don't feel comfortable selling it to someone else, because unlike John Thornton Chevrolet, I have principles. More
