Everyone has to buy cars...but why buy from someone you don't know, don't like, wasn't there last week or even worse...won't be there next week? There is a better way! I am a country boy from middle Georgia with 3 passions in life...family, creating raving fans of my laid back, no pressure, no haggle approach to the car buying process and of course deer hunting. I started selling General Motors in June of 1986 with a small, hometown dealer in Georgia. I was there for 24 years before falling in love with deer hunting in the mid-west. So in 2010 I packed up and moved to southern Illinois and came to be a permanent part of the Expressway family. When you meet me, you will know without a doubt that I absolutely love what I do! I pride myself on massive repeat and referral business...and creating raving fans. Please feel free to contact me through here or text/call at 812-270-2548. I would love the opportunity to call you a friend and to earn your business for life.

His knowledge and customer service is by far the best we have experience in our dealings with auto salesmen. Jim is a great low pressure high experience salesman that I would recommend to anyone in the market to buy or sell and vehicle. On many occasions I have asked questions to Jim that he may not have had or didn't think know and he always got me an answer. I can honestly say Jim is the man I will talk to when I look for my next vehicle every time. I have purchased 5 times from Jim and always been happy More

Great job all around We went looking for a truck, and met Jim. He took the time to sit down with us to get our info on what we were looking for and a price range. When we We went looking for a truck, and met Jim. He took the time to sit down with us to get our info on what we were looking for and a price range. When we didn't see anything at the time, Jim kept in touch through calls and text with new inventory he got. Just a few weeks later he had come across one and called me to see if I liked it and wanted to come see it. We immediately told him yes, set up an appointment that day and ended up buying it from him. Truly the best experience I've had, such great service. Since then I have sent another person to Jim and they bought one from him as well. More

First visit, great experience! When I saw a used 2016 Ford Escape advertised by their sister dealership Expressway Ford on Facebook, I sent my friend the link to get his opinion. H When I saw a used 2016 Ford Escape advertised by their sister dealership Expressway Ford on Facebook, I sent my friend the link to get his opinion. He said he knew Jim Thompson who worked at Expressway Chevrolet. He reached out to him for me and within 45 minutes we were on our way to look at it. Upon arrival, Jim had the Escape parked at his facility ready for us to examine. He immediately pointed out some minor body work needing done and said no matter if I bought it or not, they would be fixing it. A short test-drive later, we were sitting in Jim's office completing the paperwork on the sale. First thing on Monday, Jim followed through on his promise of immediately making arrangements for a loaner vehicle and having mine taken in for the minor body repair. He also quickly procured the second key for the Escape. Within two days, I had my Escape back without having to lift a finger. Unlike many salespeople I've dealt with in the past, Jim is honest, fun, straightforward, and overall a pleasure to deal with. The finance person (whose name I forget) was just as cordial and great to work with. Jim's communication and follow-through are outstanding - I wish everyone I dealt with possessed the same work ethic. I have no idea if I could have gotten a better price elsewhere, but frankly, I don't care. The service before, during and after the sale make up for any minor savings I might (or might not) have gotten elsewhere. I'll definitely refer friends and family to Jim and I'll be back for my next vehicle when that time comes. More
