Great experience! We only stopped in for an oil change and ended up two days later with a new car! Took time to 'browse' and was soon working with a great salesman. (Re We only stopped in for an oil change and ended up two days later with a new car! Took time to 'browse' and was soon working with a great salesman. (Recommended by our usual salesman, who now works a different area). As usual, we were treated like family by an awesome staff. Just can't say enough about how they work with you to get the best deal while keeping in mind our likes and concerns. Love the 'new' refinished faculty and the work that's being done to make your shopping/buying experience a good one. Charles would be proud! More

He was This is the second Mustang I have bought from Charles Gabus Ford. I am impressed how easily everyone was to work with, especially Austin Parks. He was very helpful and did everything he could to help me get the car I wanted.

If and when I am in the market for a car, I will definitely go to Charles Gabus Ford and ask for Austin Parks. More
