New and used 2025 Chevrolet Colorado trucks for sale near Avondale Estates, GA

I came in expecting just another long, boring dealership visit while they looked at my SUV. You know the drill—sit, wait, pretend to understand what a “cabin filter” does. But then I met Manny Platero, and let’s just say... the day took a pleasant turn. He was professional, of course. Polite. Calm. But there was something in the way he spoke—confident, reassuring, like he had everything under control. And let’s be honest, that kind of energy is rare these days. He walked me through the service clearly and never made me feel rushed or talked down to. I appreciated that. Honestly? It was the first time in a while I felt... heard. My car came out running better than ever—and I left with a little smile. Not just because the work was done well (it was), but because sometimes, the right kind of attention from the right kind of man can make all the difference. Thank you, Manny. Five stars. And maybe a quiet little thank-you smile, just between us.

Ayy, real talk — I pulled up thinkin’ this was gon’ be the usual runaround at the dealership. But then I linked with Manny Platero, and everything switched up. Bro came correct, handled his business, and treated me like a VIP from the jump. Wasn’t no gimmicks, no fake “lemme see what I can do” type vibe. Just solid service, real communication, and straight-up respect. He told me what the car needed, kept it 100 the whole time, and didn’t try to finesse me on no extra charges. That’s the type of professionalism you don’t see enough of — especially in this game. Time is money, and Manny respected both. That’s Atlanta energy — hustle smart, keep it real, and treat folks right. So if you in the city or even just passin’ through, and your ride need love — go ask for Manny Platero. He ain’t just a service advisor, he a real one. Salute from the 404.

James really does put the customer first, really nice to see he's really there with my best interest in mind.

I stopped by Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Buford to see Jonathan for service on my colorado. He always takes great of me and my vehicles. Excellent service once again!

Because this is such a wonderful vehicle, I purchased it at the end of the lease. Dan and Russ were incredible in making this a seamless transition. My vehicle was inspected, rims repaired, appropriate services rendered, thoroughly cleaned plus received an excellent offer for new tires. I have been trading for many many years with Dan Ramsdell and his team. This experience is once again reason to make the John Thornton family of dealerships my only source for our family vehicles. Highly recommend this team now, just as I did three years ago. Thank you!!! The lease of my new 2020 Chevy Blazer was flawless. This was the third vehicle that I've leased from Dan Ramsdell. We have worked out the details on this transaction (all three) via email. I took limo from Atlanta airport to John Thornton Chevrolet, they opened at 8am just for me. All documents were ready, I only had to sign them and was our in thirty minutes. This gorgeous Black Blazer AWD 3LT has been detailed, filled up with gas, my all weather floor mats put in place and temporary license applied for tag with requested black license plate frame. Derek Strickland saw to it that everything was orchestrated perfectly and my transaction was seamless and most enjoyable. I will definitely trade with these professionals once again and highly recommend others to visit John Thornton Chevrolet!!

The tires on my traverse were low and it was time to get them changed. I saw Jonathan in service since we discussed a couple of options previously. He got it done quicker than I expected and set up a ride for me to be picked up from work once it was finished. Thanks again!

Was in town for my sons lacrosse tournament when our 2022 Equinox broke down. Limped it over to your dealership at 7:30 in the morning to hopefully get an idea what was wrong. I was not expecting any miracles especially without a appointment as a matter of fact I figured I would be stuck there a few days until they could get to it. GET THIS...Bryon Steinke(employee of the month) greeted me and listened to my problem even though he was backed up with customers as far as the eye could see. Took my car and said lets see what we can do. Had me out of there in less than an hour, WAIT...it gets better. He called me Monday morning to see if me and my family got home safely!!!! Who is this guy and where did you find him because there is nobody in customer service like him any more!!! Can't say "thank you" enough times for what he did for us, that is a great employee you have there and you are a great dealership!!

I have purchased a number of vehicles from John Thornton Chevrolet and one from John Thornton Cadillac/GMC and have had great experiences in every case. They are the only dealership I use for service for my Georgia based cars.

Every one was pleasant but the truck I was interested in was sold. I looked around at some cars and trucks and left

A smiling face met us at the front door and that set the tone for the rest of our visit. Everyone we encountered was patient, helpful, and genuinely nice. Great experience.
