Worst dealership I have ever visited! Long wait times. Employees who lie. Horrible customer service. Inadequate vehicles with car fax problems. Clint Emberton in sales lost my family’s bus Long wait times. Employees who lie. Horrible customer service. Inadequate vehicles with car fax problems. Clint Emberton in sales lost my family’s business due to his aggressive response to our complaint about a vehicle being sold out from under us. In the sales business the customer is usually right. I eagerly recommend that you shop around, do your homework, read all negative reviews thoroughly, and consider all other options. Bottom line: do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! More

He’s a wonderful salesman who does an incredible job. More

Delightful Would never go to another dealership for sales or service.

Both departments are what you would call “flawless” Chris Emberton is a very fair and honest sales manager. When the granger gates says they go a step further for their customers they mean it. For John my salesman, he is an outstanding young man who makes the process very easy and simple to understand. From looking for the right vehicle to taking delivery, you will be in good hands. From a personal perspective I wouldn’t purchase another vehicle from any other local car dealership. Highly recommend. More
