I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi in Clinton. I made a decision in 2002 to move to Des Moines where I started working at Charles Gabus Ford. I've been in the car business for over 2 decades now after managing restaurants for 5 years. My wife and I have been enjoying traveling for many years and finally decided to start our family. My son Tyler was born on March 19th 2017. Other than getting married and moving to Des Moines, he is the best decision I've made in my lifetime. I would love to help you with all of your automotive needs! Stephen Sanders sanders@charlesgabus.com 515-205-2445

Steve was great to work with. I had been looking for an Expedition Max for a while. Gabus got one that was close to what I wanted. I called Steve who I had been interacting wit I had been looking for an Expedition Max for a while. Gabus got one that was close to what I wanted. I called Steve who I had been interacting with for a couple months while I looked. We had a quick conversation about price and they hit the mark with a very fair price. They also gave me a very fair trade value. There wasn't the typical games that I was getting from other dealers and the process was smooth. Would definitely work with Steve again in the future!
