I live 100 miles from the dealer. Completed all negotiation and financing application with Matt Ameral, Internet Sales Manager, via email and phone. Truck and paperwork were ready when I arrived at the dealership. Smooth, stress free purchase. Highly recommend Thompson’s.

Initially the indiviual was responsive. However, I submitted an application for this vehiclle and it was never addressed. I followed-up and was told that the seat was being repaired and the price would increase. I followed-up after that and no one responded and I see that the vehcile sold.

Great communication at first, but after setting an appointment to drive the 2 hours to buy, they replied and said they had “pre-sold” the vehicle and accidentally never knew or told me. They apologized, but this soured my experience. After seeing another vehicle there a few days later and reaching out, a salesperson never got in touch with me.

Like many other dealers they install thousands of dollars worth of useless add ons to the vehicles. Paint protection, etching, and 3m which all can be had on Amazon for literally pennies on the dollar for what the dealership charges. You can't buy a vehicle from them without agreeing to fleece. I'd rather walk than willfully get ripped off buying that garbage. Just google it. The oldest trick in the book. The people were polite as expected when you are ready to spend 50 grand but it's just unfortunate that they can't make a fair deal without pushing all the garbage just to try and make a few extra bucks.

Dealer had great prices but low balled the Kelley Blue Book trade-in value and was untruthful about it. I had a Kelley Blue Book trade-in offer from another dealer from the day before that was several thousand more. Typical reindeer games at car dealers play.

The vehicle was clean, ready to drive and described accurately. I would recommend this dealership to my family and friends.

I recieved my approval and went to test drive and check out the car on the 27th. Not all my questions got answered. I left frustrated. I stewed on that car for almost week. I called on the 2nd and was able to sprak with Matt, a different people. He answered my questions and responded the next day with all my answers and I went and got the car on Friday. Matt was awesome and took the time to show me all about the bell and whistles about my the car. Steve with finance made everything smooth and easy. Everyone was very nice and energetic.

This dealership could've had a slam dunk sale and a 5-star review. Instead, someone else got the sale. I called on a vehicle we wanted to purchase. We were pre-approved through our credit union and ready to buy. I told the salesman that I wanted the vehicle and to give me the out-the-door price with tax and reg and not to try to add anything or play games or I'd walk. He sent me the numbers and there was about $2,500 in fluff. I replied and asked how he came to that number. Two days elapsed before he responded with, "those are the numbers my manager gave me." That's it. No breakdown. It's a shame because the salesman was friendly and helpful to that point. I called another dealership that was selling the same vehicle for the same price. I told them the same thing. Send me the numbers without fluff. They did. No fluff. About $2,500 cheaper. Bought the car same day from them. I never did hear back from these guys. Seems like management has the salespeople handcuffed.

Execellent customer service. George responded right away and answered all of my questions. I visited this dealership the next day. Matt was our guy who helped us, he was very patient, knowledgeable and very professional. Matt answered all of my questions and concerns. I ended up buying a 2019 Cherokee Limited 4x4. Im very happy and definitely can recommend this place and look for Matt great guy and customer service.

It was a wasted trip of over three hours each way, as the truck I was interested in sold the day before I got there. The manager failed to let me know that even though I told him the night before that I would be coming to test drive it.

My contact was named Barry, he was extremely helpful, took time to send me all the information I asked for.

I would recommend buying from them, hope to do business with them in the near future. KC

We had a good experience at Thompson’s. It’s a dealership, which, for us, always brings anxiety. We were full of anxiety driving to Thompson’s though because we had a traumatic (no joke!) experience at a different dealership.. But Larry made us feel at ease immediately! He helped us find the car for us and got us in and out in a few hours. Everyone was super helpful and thorough. My husband and I will be back the next time we need a new car. Oh! And the best part.... the give you a bottle of wine before you leave!

Helpful, prompt. They got me a monthly quote same day through texting me since I couldn't talk due to being at work. When they don't recommend the option you are seeking due to hurting you financially, they are honest and tell you when it is not in your best interest.They do not try to push you into a payment that will hurt you in the long run.

Best experience I've ever had at a dealership! The team was not pushy but very helpful and most important to me educational about the vehicle… In fact Jeremy my sales rep was a former mechanic and answered every possible question I had. I drove two hours each way to see this vehicle. Of the 10 or 15 dealerships I had spoken to this was the only one I feel comfortable working with. I'm so happy with my new Jeep and likely will make the drive again when it's time to upgrade my wife's car.
