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 More

Gates of Granger responded

Gates entered into a “tentative agreement of terms”, subject to specific known stipulations. Under the tentative terms, the trade vehicle required under carriage lift inspection within an appropriate pre-established time frame. The consumer, through communications, indicated that they were either unable to comply with the terms or pre- established timetable. Following receipt of the information, Gates did proceed to justifiably sell the vehicle in question to a second party. This was not a premeditated event, in no way malicious, nor vindictive. Gates did not receive or retain a deposit with the previous transaction. All vehicles remain for sale until an installment contract, a retail contract with satisfied stipulations has been accepted, or instrument of payment has been executed. Gates conducted a third party internal review of this complaint. No flagrant disregard of consumer best practice guidelines was found. All tentative agreements are treated with consistent respect until or unless Gates determines there is just cause to suspend or terminate a tentative agreement. Tentative agreements, subject to the terms, can be terminated or suspended for any reason by either party at any time. In the interest of complete consumer goodwill, Gates has attempted to duplicate the vehicle of interest with no success to date.
