LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys! I was researching 2010 Outbacks and this cool blue one kept popping up in my search. The price was great…the year of the car and mileage: all great. Then I saw I could in Outbacks and this cool blue one kept popping up in my search. The price was great…the year of the car and mileage: all great. Then I saw I could instant message with the dealership on their webpage…and that’s how I met Cody (one of their fantastic customer service reps). He was personable (even over the web) and so willing to help. I eventually gave him a call as I started to fine-tune my car buying options and immediately felt a rapport with him (which in my experience, is very rare with dealership people). We talked a bit about the car, about what I was looking for, etc. It definitely seemed that the car would be a good fit for my needs. So I decided to drive the hour and a half to Enumclaw to take a look at this car. Everyone there was great. Friendly… in a genuine way. It made the long drive…during rush hour traffic…worth every minute. I ended up buying that cool, blue Subaru for a very fair price and had fun (yes, fun) during my entire time there. I highly recommend Art Gamblin Motors. No matter where you are driving from ? More
The vehicle was NOT a Chevrolet, but a SAAB (not available in the pulldown menu). It was a 9-7X Aero, which was built on the GMT360 platform shared by the Trailblazer, and fortunately is equivalent available in the pulldown menu). It was a 9-7X Aero, which was built on the GMT360 platform shared by the Trailblazer, and fortunately is equivalent to the "SS" package which includes the 6.0 litre LS2 V8, All Wheel Drive, heavy duty trans, ugraded brakes and cooling, and steering/suspension tuned on the Nurburgring racetrack. My wife and I at the time had a GMC Envoy, essentially the same as a fancier Trailblazer, but I had my eye on the Trailblazer SS. After reading a bit online found out the SAAB 9-7X Aero existed and instantly looked (I think it was vehix.com at the time) to see if there were any in the area. There was only 1 listed as available in the entire state of WA, and at a price around HALF of the $52k MSRP it had new in 2008 (loaded up with all the options) I knew I had to make a move even though we had NO plans to get rid of the Envoy. This was early 2010, so I felt this was the deal of a lifetime and instantly got in contact with Art Gamblin to say "I will be there first thing Saturday morning!" and also mentioned I had a 2008 GMC Envoy SLT that I would like to trade. I spent the night reading reviews and looking at pictures of the car and fell in love. I had NEVER seen (or at least not noticed) seeing one of these on the road, while Trailblazers and Envoys are EVERYWHERE. Even the mighty SS was a normal sighting. This was going to be my wife's daily driver, and I just knew she would think it was a great upgrade, even if it was very similar to the Envoy (which was a good thing). When we pulled up on the Art Gamblin lot bright and early that Saturday morning, there was the SAAB sitting front and center. We were instantly greeted by a friendly Bryce Bartoy and told him we were the ones so excited about that graphite black SUV sitting right over there. I handed over the keys of our GMC so the service department could look it over to give us a trade in price. He grabbed the keys to the SAAB and jumped in the back so I could drive and my wife could ride shotgun. I think Bryce knew this was something special as he said "Listen to that rumble." after I fired up the engine. Sure enough it was the 400 horse Chevy V8 under the hood and instantly could tell the difference between it and what I had just driven 75+ miles and nearly 2 hours from Lake Stevens WA in (the Envoy). It put a smile on my face, so I pulled over and switched with my wife. She loved it too, and all the while Bryce was not only giving us information about the vehicle, but we were making great small talk which lead to chatting about the fishing season as I had just been down in that area the weekend before. He was an outdoorsman, so I instantly felt like we had a great repore. We thought he was very relatable and so friendly, but not overly so as you might get with some other salespeople. He was a younger guy and we were glad he worked with us (my wife and I were 30 at the time). After we returned to the dealership, we went into the office to do the business. I had only purchased a car from a different dealership once before, and while it wasnt a BAD experience, it wasn't something I was looking forward to. Art Gamblin changed my mind about that! They made things so easy for us and didn't haggle at all. I got exactly the trade in on the Envoy I had asked for (it was in nice shape) and was happy to pay the price for the Saab that was listed (it seemed like an absolute steal to me, so why push it?) All the time during the financing, paper signing, and other steps, Bryce would check in and ask how we were doing with a smile. It made the experience great, and I would have given the entire team "6's" across the board if I could. We were there for less than 1.5 hours from the time we pulled up with the GMC to the time we were driving away with the SAAB. The team checked in with us over the next few months to make sure things were going well, and Bryce has been following up at least a few times per year to check with us and offer us birthday/anniversary specials at the dealership and other offerings like driving type classes and emergency situation classes. If we weren't so far away, we would certainly take him up on the offers. And I must apologize for not submitting a review sooner, but I wanted to share my experience. We still love the SAAB and don't plan to get rid of it any time soon. It still goes, turns, and stops like a dream and puts a smile on our faces when we drive it. Thanks again Bryce Bartoy and Art Gamblin motors team, you guys ROCK! More

We have purchased many vehicles from Gamblin and it is always a great experience. We receive a level of customer service that isn't seen at many dealerships anymore. Extended test drives even on new so always a great experience. We receive a level of customer service that isn't seen at many dealerships anymore.

I purchased a 2012 Camaro RS from Art Gamblin Motors on March 9, 2013. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. The sales manager searched through banks to get me the absolute best finance rate March 9, 2013. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. The sales manager searched through banks to get me the absolute best finance rate available for my credit class. Josh Johnson was the sales person that I worked with, and he was very pleasant to work with! He was not high pressure, and he took the time to listen to me and got me exactly what I wanted. Tim Rockwood finished up the deal by very thoroughly going through and explaining all of the paperwork, warranty, financing, title transfer etc. They are all a first class group of people, and I will definitely do business with them again; and will not hesitate to recommend them to other people that are in the auto buying market.

1 through 5?... My over all experience was a 10. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. Josh met us with a list of vehicles that he believed would fit what I was looking for, year, model, price. Af was very helpful and knowledgeable.

I started looking for a Chevy/GMC 1 ton crewcab Duley with a gas engine in May 2011 and did a eletronic inquirey with this dealership. I had numerous different calls and e-mail from the salesmen as they with a gas engine in May 2011 and did a eletronic inquirey with this dealership. I had numerous different calls and e-mail from the salesmen as they tryed to locate a truck for me. In August I recieved a call that they had found a truck that met my inquirey. Due to the fact that I live more than 3000 from the dealership I trusted that the truck indeed met my desired truck discription. I advised that due to shipping requirements the truck needed to be shipped by the 2nd week in September and asked for pictures and a copy of the window sticker of the truck as the paperwork was in the mail. I never got any pictures or a copy of the window sticker. but due to the time restraints I finalized the payment process and the truck was delivered to the barge company for shipping. In October the truck arrived on the barge and I had a chance to see the truck for the first time. The truck was an extended cab instead of a crew cab. I immediatly called the dealership and talked to the salesman which I had been working with. I asked him what crew cab meant to him he said 4 doors, I agreed with him and asked why this new truck that I paid more than $42,000 for plus $6,200 for shipping had only 2 doors and a small back seat. He said that he thought I would accept either and established an attitude of what are you going to do about it you do not have another barge until June. I asked the salesman about why he never sent pictures and he said that he was old and did not know how to. I asked him how he knew how to send and e-mail but not be able to attach a picture. I later got another call from another representative from the dealership and after I told him about the experiance he said that he would try to make it right. I never directly heard from another person from the dealership. I get advertisement e-mails but no direct contact. Now I have worenty work needed on the truck and am just kringing about having to deal with them again. More
