I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi in Clinton. I made a decision in 2002 to move to Des Moines where I started working at Charles Gabus Ford. I've been in the car business for over 2 decades now after managing restaurants for 5 years. My wife and I have been enjoying traveling for many years and finally decided to start our family. My son Tyler was born on March 19th 2017. Other than getting married and moving to Des Moines, he is the best decision I've made in my lifetime. I would love to help you with all of your automotive needs! Stephen Sanders sanders@charlesgabus.com 515-205-2445

Excellent Service I had an excellent experience this week trading in my vehicle. Steve made picking out my new vehicle easy and fun. He answered my questions with NO I had an excellent experience this week trading in my vehicle. Steve made picking out my new vehicle easy and fun. He answered my questions with NO PRESSURE answers. Management helped make the deal smooth and quick. Off to finance with Gary who made that process as quick as possible as well. The delivery team made sure I knew how to use all the features on my new vehicle and made it clear I could come to them any time with questions. All in all, this was the best car buying experience for me. I would highly recommend Steve Sanders or any of their amazing sells team at Charles Gabus Ford. More

Happy New Mustang Owner We purchased our 2015 Taurus form Gabus several years ago and have all three of our Ford Vehicles serviced at Gabus. We are very happy with the way we We purchased our 2015 Taurus form Gabus several years ago and have all three of our Ford Vehicles serviced at Gabus. We are very happy with the way we are treated every time we come through the door. It only made sense for us to choose Gabus Ford when we looked for a new Mustang. The purchase process went very fast, we found the Mustang we wanted on the lot at Noon, and drove it home by 5 PM. The fastest we have ever purchased a vehicle! Our Salesman was Stephen Sanders, our service technician is Marcus Neece. We have great faith in both employees and appreciate how they assisted us in this purchase. More

Steve Sanders is the Man! Let me start by saying that the process of buying a car is up there with, going to the dentist, doing your taxes, or preparing funeral arrangements bu Let me start by saying that the process of buying a car is up there with, going to the dentist, doing your taxes, or preparing funeral arrangements but that isn't the case with Steve Sanders at Charles Gabus Ford in Des Moines, IA. I found a car that I liked online on Easter morning and submitted an email to the dealership to see if it was available. Steve contacted me to let me know the car was available and that I could come out and take a look the following day. Steve was straightforward and immediately I felt a trust built with him as he showed me the vehicle. I shopped around quite a bit that day and ended up coming back to Steve because the price and service couldn't be beat. After the papers were signed, Steve went as far as steam cleaning the carpets himself as the detail shop team had already left for the day. Amazing service that went above and beyond my expectations. I'm definitely going back to Steve for my next car. More
