Great service I met with Kevin Mears after I took my car to the service department and was told I'd need a new transmission. I had already been considering trading I met with Kevin Mears after I took my car to the service department and was told I'd need a new transmission. I had already been considering trading it in so I decided to just get a new car rather than fix it. Kevin and Mike (sales manager) worked with me and got me a great deal on a new 2015 Sentra. The process wasn't as stressful and difficult as my car purchases have been in the past. I would definitely recommend purchasing with this dealership, and specifically Kevin and Mike.

Best price by a mile and super customer service. I needed a Nissan Rogue and they were so helpful and courteous. They explained everything so well and the test drive was "real driving" including city I needed a Nissan Rogue and they were so helpful and courteous. They explained everything so well and the test drive was "real driving" including city/highway driving. My salesperson Dave Holle showed me everything I needed to know without rushing me or wasting time. The prices at Newton were phenomenal. Thousands less than any dealer in the area. They found my color choice and options for me and had me taken care of. In no step of the process was I pushed to buy anything I didn't want or need. I loved my experience. And I love my Rogue. More

Fantastic experience! Newton Nissan made it easy to buy. After I dropped my daughters car off for service I was walking around the Newton Nissan car lot. I was just waiting for my wife to pick me up when I m After I dropped my daughters car off for service I was walking around the Newton Nissan car lot. I was just waiting for my wife to pick me up when I met Paul. We just started talking, not really talking about cars or what i was looking for. I explained to him how much I appreciated the service department and I would be looking to buy for my wife in a couple of months. I asked a few questions about a few cars and pointed to a 2013 Altima. I told him my wife would love something like that, and I would like to take a look at it. Once I set in it I knew my wife had to take it for a ride. The rest was history. My wife and myself sit down with Paul and the Newton Nissan team and they made the buying so easy. We loved how they took the time with us and worked with us on our trade in. We are now the proud owners of the 2013 Altima. When I look to buy again, I will be buying another car from Paul and the Newton Nissan Team and I highly recommend them to you! More

Wonderful Dave and Mike were wonderful. I had never purchased a NEW vehicle before, and he made things run as smooth as possible. I had talked to Mike and Dave Dave and Mike were wonderful. I had never purchased a NEW vehicle before, and he made things run as smooth as possible. I had talked to Mike and Dave on the phone before coming in. I was able to let Dave know what I was looking for. When I got there he had a few options picked out for me meeting my requirements. I had my 8 year old son with me, and Dave included him in the car shopping. When we got there my son did not want a new car. He was happy and comfortable in the one we had. By the time we left my son and I were both happy with the selection. Thank you Dave and Mike at Newton Nissan in Gallatin! More

Outstanding Dealership and staff I've always bought my vehicle's from another Nissan Dealer some friends of mine have purchased vehicles from Newton and was very satisfied and the mai I've always bought my vehicle's from another Nissan Dealer some friends of mine have purchased vehicles from Newton and was very satisfied and the main reason that I decided to purchase a vehicle from Newton Nissan, is that the Dealership gives back to the community and that says a lot. I dealt with Dave Hollie which he was very professional and polite and helped to meet my needs with the vehicle I purchased. When you walk into the dealership you feel very welcome every staff member was very friendly. When finishing up the paper wok with Bruce Moss he was very professional and friendly and explained everything very well. Also I talked with Mr. Mike Abbondanza and I can see why people go to the dealership he's very professional and friendly and shows the appreciation of the customers business. Dwayne Wright More

I was treated with respect and professional courtesy, all with minimal interference of my busy schedule. I walked away with equity in my trade and a Brand New Titan Pro-4X for an excellent price. Long Version: I was contacted by Terri Appleton who suggested I bring my 2012 Titan in for an appraisal to consider if a trade-in was a viable option for me. I had been in my truck for 3 years and thought “It might be time for an upgrade…” She set me up with an appointment to meet Roger Blackburn to appraise my vehicle and look at options they had on the lot. When I arrived at Newton Nissan, Roger was currently working with another customer so he asked JT Rosenthal to help out; the hand-off was seamless and the teamwork mentality was very evident throughout the entire interaction. While meeting with JT I must have had three people from management and sales introduce themselves and ask if I would like anything to drink or eat. That first afternoon I also met Justin George, one of the Sales Managers, and was very impressed with his candor and professionalism. I departed that night with a very reasonable trade-in value and a truck in mind to consider with my wife. From there the process was simple and quick, and after test driving the truck and crunching some numbers, I was quickly seen into Anthony Green’s office to sign and seal the deal. The delivery was fast and informative; in a matter of 50 minutes from start to finish I went from negotiating to driving away in my new Titan. As I was driving away I crossed paths with the Owner, Mike Abbondanza, and he congratulated me on my new purchase and explicitly thanked me for the business. From the top to bottom, Newton Nissan has no shortage of class and professionalism. EXCELLENT Experience! David Urekew More

I was pleas Buying a car at Newton Nissan was a great experience. Everyone was very helpful and easy to work with. I traded a car for a new Nissan. I was pleased to feel I got a great deal not only on the value of my trade but also on the new car purchase. I was surprised to be handed the keys to my new car with a full tank of gas and a smile. They then wanted to review all the options of the car and answer any question I had regarding it. From arriving to driving off the lot I could not have been happier. Thanks More
