Hayes Chrysler Dodge Jeep of Gainesville

3115 Frontage Road
Gainesville, GA 30504

The reason I chose to sell the CDJR brand is because of the HEMI and Cummins engines and the RAM truck. These three products are the best in the industry, hands down. I'm convinced that the RAM truck combined with either engine provides you with the best truck for your money. And will provide you with more profits in your business when you use it for your business. Absolutely the most truck for your money. I have been selling cars at Hayes CDJR for a little over 2 years, since retiring from the insurance industry after 23 years. My wife and I have been married for 28 years and we have 3 great sons and 3 wonderful grandchildren. My passion is spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.

Excellent experience. Enrique is very knowledgeable of Jeeps. I told him what I was looking for in a Jeep Wrangler. And he over exceeded my expectations! I’m new to the Je Enrique is very knowledgeable of Jeeps. I told him what I was looking for in a Jeep Wrangler. And he over exceeded my expectations! I’m new to the Jeep family and didn’t know anything about Jeeps except that I wanted one Enrique found the perfect Jeep for me with low miles at Avery good price He went that extra mile and sent me a video before I arrived. I love my first Jeep. Kiddos to Enrique!!! More

Nobody replies to emails, Reached out to numerous individuals and received no response to anything. Nobody cares once you sign the papers. Salesman was fine, everyone else after ruined the experience individuals and received no response to anything. Nobody cares once you sign the papers. Salesman was fine, everyone else after ruined the experience. They also did not put the temp tag on, tried to ask us to drive an hour + back to the dealership, which was refused, so they had to come to our office to do it. More

Overall, it was a good experience. The price listed on CarGurus is misleading but was able to negotiate close to listed price. The price listed on CarGurus is misleading but was able to negotiate close to listed price. More
