Todd Dishman was a dream salesman. Gave us the deal we asked for without a problem. The finance guy was awesome, he explained everything so I got exactly what I asked for.

We had a great experience at Charles. Tabus Ford. It’s the first car purchase we’ve made that wasn’t stressful- Steve made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Thanks- we will recommend this dealership to all of our friends and family!

I have purchased new vehicles from this dealership since the late 90's. The personnel in sales and service are friendly and helpful. I appreciate the short wait time and explanation of services provided for my vehicle!

Stephen Sanders is wonderful! We are kind of persnickety and he went above and beyond to satisfy us. He kept us informed, had our interests at the forefront, and was knowledgable and hard-working. After we made our choice, his follow through kept us up to speed and on our way. The finance and shop people were friendly and efficient. Well done.

Good experience as usual. I have been using Gabus for years for both service and new purchases. It would be nice if they ran my car through the wash after service.
