Stanley Ford Gilmer

Very professional and knowledgeable about all the cars and trucks that they have on their lot, and willing to work to earn your business

Great experience. Matthew was very courteous and helpful. Will recommend Stanley Ford to family and friends.

Very knowledgeable and professional. Courteous and helpful. They answered my questions and worked very hard to make the deal.

I would not recommend this dealership the salesman Austin was great little slow at returning calls there service department is not helpful at all they are rude. And don't care we bought a car a week later it quit it had now been in the shop two weeks but still isn't fixed won't return calls so I will never buy another vehicle from them again and would recommend no one else to deal with them.

Gus my salesman was helpful and knew about the vehicle I was buying from the original owner. Dealership worked with me to make the sale. Would recommend to friends and will be back.

Crystal is amazing in service!! Very helpful friendly and with such a positive attitude I love it

Worst experience ever! They double deal so that whoever gets approved first gets the deal. This is also known as lying and cheating and reflects upon how management truly is as professions and individuals. All week my girlfriend had been in communication with the salesman. Today 9/25/21, Sat. we had an appointment at 1:45pm and sat our whole day around it. We both test drive the Dodge Durango. Bank had been called earlier that week and she knew what she could do. It was all left up to the test drive, interior and how much they would give for trade in. She sat down with salesman to await to hear from financial to only have the woman from financial to walk over and to tell us that the vehicle had just been sold! Really?? We spend a whole going through everything, set aside a whole Sat even both test drive to only have it sold out while we are going through the process?? What do you not understand about internal communication? So you start a deal with one person and just in case you don't make that sale you go ahead and offer the same deal to another? Management in all the sales area was at fault! The only person that wasn't and that truly sincere was the salesman we dealt with. It was also his last day there and from what we understand this is one of the reasons!

I review a 2015 pathfinder through cars.com. A sales rep called me and we set up a 10:00 meeting for the next day to discuss the vehicle. I drive the hour drive to the dealer and arrived at 10:00. The desk clerk informed me that the rep I had agreed to me was not in the office that day. She called him at home and they assigned me to a different rep. He went to look for the keys and 15 minutes later came and told me that "the car is not even on our lot. We own 13 lots and it could be on any of them." He gave me his card and told me he would call me when it arrived if ever. I left and returned home. So 2-1/2 hours of my time wasted. I would not recommend this business.

Some time in the first week of March I received a call from Brenda at Stanley Ford in Gilmer. She said “she had a customer looking for a truck like mine” and wanted to know if I would be willing to sell my truck to them. I politely declined and told her I was not really interested in selling my truck. A few days later I ended up purchasing a small car some where else and it got me to thinking that I might as well sell the truck since it would be sitting around the house a lot. I called the dealership and spoke we Brenda. We began texting and I told her that I have no intention of buying a vehicle from them only that I would consider selling them mine if we could come to an agreement. I tried to get her to give me a range of what they might pay for the truck. I advised her that I was very busy and did not want to drive an hour to them to only be given a low ball offer. I had sent pictures of the truck showing outside, inside, the VIN and the mileage. She assured me they were serious so I decided to go over there and give them a shot. Within 10 minutes they advised that they could not buy the truck. I politely reminded her of our conversation about wasting my time and we parted ways. No harm no foul. This past Friday I received a text message from Mike Terry asking me if I wanted to sell them my truck. I informed him of my previous experience and advised him I would not make the hour drive unless they were serious about buying the truck. He assured me that they wanted to buy it and gave me an offer of 13-13.5k. I told him I would consider selling the truck for that and we planned to meet up Saturday morning. I arrived at the dealership around 1030 and within a few minutes was told they couldn't by the truck. I understandably was very upset because they had now wasted my time twice. Mike was unable to explain why they were calling people offering to buy their vehicles and then telling them they couldn't once they arrived at the dealership. I asked to speak to whoever was making this decision to understand why this was happening again. At first Mario, the general sales manager, would not come out to speak with me. When he finally did he had no answers to my questions. I have been a part of the automotive industry for nearly 20 years and have would for many dealerships. I know the game but for them to do this twice was absolutely unacceptable. Mario was very matter of fact about the situation and basically said that's that and pound sand. I confronted him with the fact that they had given me a price range and that I would not have driven the hour without that. His answer was that no one said that. I confronted him with the text messages on my phone and he seemed not to care. I was finally asked to leave the dealership but because at this point I was pretty upset. This is not a situation of buying my truck or not. This is about wasting my time twice. I have no real reason to sell my vehicle. It is still very much in good shape mechanically and cosmetically. If anyone with the Stanley Auto Group corporate office is interested in speaking to me about this situation I have all the text messages saved on my phone.
