It was great to be greted and felt like family.Asked detailed questions about what we needed and want. Showed us many vehicles
Love this suv
I purchased this vehicle used with only 17,000 miles on it. It is by far the best vehicle I have ever owed. It is a compact SUV but that's what I wanted so it's perfect for me. The only complaint I have is the mileage. My Chevy Malibu got much better gas mileage but this Buick is everything I ever wanted with all the gadgets and things it has.

I had a great experience purchasing my 2026 GMC Canyon
I had a great experience purchasing my 2026 GMC Canyon AT4 from Group 1 Buick GMC South. The process was straightforward and transparent, which I really appreciated. Jazmin was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. We agreed on a fair out-the-door price in advance, and that price was honored exactly as discussed. The team was patient with my questions and never made me feel rushed. Overall, it was a smooth and respectful buying experience ? no pressure, just clear communication and follow-through. I?d definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a straightforward car-buying process.

Perfect Vehicle, great salesperson!
My sales person Alex Valdez was great! I thought he would give up on me because I was very picky and expected alot. I had resigned myself to keeping my current car, but then he found me the perfect vehicle and I love it! All in all it was a pleasant experience and I highly recommend McGrath Honda/Elgin. Just ask for Alex Valdez and he will work hard to find you what you want!

Jay was my sales guy.
Jay was my sales guy. I walked in the store thinking it was for financing! Not knowing I was actually going to drive off the lot with a new car, without a co-signer! He asked all the right questions, and answered all mine including the person he was training! He was very educated and knowledgeable of anything and I was uncertain or didn’t understand, and while training the new guy that I didn’t even know was training (because he was that smooth and knew a lot) was very calm patient and consistent on making sure you left happy! Jay I would recommend absolutely to anyone ! He will find a way to make you leave happy, confident in what you didn’t know when you walked in but will know when you are leaving, patient and understanding and proud to help and assist you in so many ways! Thanks jay! I love my trax! You really did me a solid. I would recommend anyone to go to you! Thanks, Britt with the 2019 trax on Christmas Eve!

If you are looking for a new/used vehicle I highly recommend Jason Bardell. His customer service cannot be beat. We made one phone call in the morning and were signing papers for our new 2026 Traverse that evening. He went above and beyond for my husband and I. Thank you Jason and Bocker Auto Group.
