My husband and I had been looking at buying a new Focus for the last couple of months. We decided to check out Gabus and Josh Christianson emailed us to introduce himself and make himself available if we for the last couple of months. We decided to check out Gabus and Josh Christianson emailed us to introduce himself and make himself available if we had any questions. Upon arriving at the dealership, Josh was warm and friendly and took us back to his office to look at the models they had in stock. We had already made some decisions regarding the model, color and preferred options. He found what we were looking for and out for a drive we went. We also traded in a vehicle and Josh worked to get the best trade-in value for us. We would definitely recommend Charles Gabus Ford and especially Josh to anyone looking to buy a new or used vehicle. Also, we LOVE our new Focus! :o) Ken and Angie Burnham More

We are extremely pleased with the service that we got from Charles Gabus Ford. They were very knowledgeable about the 2011 Mercury Mariner Premier that we purchased. Craig Sims was the salesman that we d from Charles Gabus Ford. They were very knowledgeable about the 2011 Mercury Mariner Premier that we purchased. Craig Sims was the salesman that we dealt with the most, however, Noah Wolter peeked in to see if everything was going OK. Something that we really appreciated was getting to meet Jim Bintner; we know that he is a busy man, but it meant alot to us that he would stop and chat with us for a few minutes! We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you once again for everything! More
