We did not feel pressured or hurried at any time, and were pleased from the moment we initiated contact with Todd Dishman via phone until we exited the dealership in our new Ford Edge. We've purchased four vehicles from Gabus and have been extremely satisfied with both the sales and the service personnel. More

No hassles! They got it in asap, and I didn't have to worry. They provided a loaner, and even cleaned our car to new condition when we picked it up. They got it in asap, and I didn't have to worry. They provided a loaner, and even cleaned our car to new condition when we picked it up. More

Fast service, excellent customer first attitude. We purchased our 2010 Mustang from Steve Sanders, and we were very happy with how we were treated.

He found multiple discounts and beat four other dealers on price, while getting me the car I wanted. In July 2015 we were looking at a new car for my wife, and she didn't have any Ford vehicles on her list to test drive. We did stop to see Steve out of loyalty, and he took the time to show us many of the available Ford models. There was no pressure, but he found a car we both found comfortable in, at a price we felt was very reasonable. We left that day with our 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid, and we have been very happy with it. We just returned from a 3100 mile trip with it, and were very happy to discover how easy it was to run 700 miles a day, while getting 41 mpg. Steve Sanders is very easy to work with, and we have always been treated great by the staff at Charles Gabus Ford. More
