We each left driving a new 2014 Kia Soul. The service is fantastic and so was Michael Dine and Doug Magnusen. I would refer friends and family to Ray Skillman and have already done so. I drive to Greenwood from Bloomington to service my car because of the friendly staff and I trust them with my vehicle. I would give a 5 star rating to everyone I came in contact with. My sister and I could not be happier. More

Top Notch Customer Service! Great Overall Experience! After finally deciding to trade in my 15 year old car, I drove one and a half hours from my house to Indianapolis to go to another dealership about 1/ After finally deciding to trade in my 15 year old car, I drove one and a half hours from my house to Indianapolis to go to another dealership about 1/4 mile away from this one (who shall remain nameless cough *hubler* cough) to look at a vehicle. After a horrible experience there, I found the same vehicle online at Ray Skillman and decided to take a look at it since I had already made the trip. To my surprise, just walking in the doors was a completely different experience from the other dealership! They were warm, friendly and inviting! They did not treat us like we were interupting their day or like we were too young and poor to be seriously considering a $35,000 car. They actually went the extra mile to make my car buying experience a pleasant one. I test drove all the vehicles I wanted, had all my questions answered (without being made to feel stupid) and they were NOT pushy! It was amazing!!! I highly recommend this dealership. They do everything possible to get you in the car of your dreams, even if your credit is not perfect. I am so glad I decided to go there instead of just heading home after my horrible experience at the other place. I am now the proud owner of a GMC Acadia Denali and I will be buying our next vehicle for my fiance from there as well! Thank you Chris Fischer & Robert Griffith!!! You guys are a pleasure to work with! More

I had been looking for this particular model of vehicle (voodoo blue FJ cruiser) for several months. I live in Nashville TN and was hoping one would show up here, I waited and waited but nothing came on t (voodoo blue FJ cruiser) for several months. I live in Nashville TN and was hoping one would show up here, I waited and waited but nothing came on the market. I had enough of waiting and spread my search further out. That’s how I found Ray Skillman. I found the car online without any pictures and a very basic description, I hit the contact us button and very shortly i was contacted by Michael Dine. He was great to work with, sent me pictures right away and answered all my questions. After going back and forth I figured it was worth the drive. Before heading up there I had my financing taken care of with them and we had agreed on a price. Once I got there the process was painless. The car was exactly as described. After signing by name what felt like a hundred times I hit the road back to Nashville. All in all a great buying experience. If you are buying there Michael Dine will take great care of you! TLDR: a great buying experience!! More

The customer experiece is the worse that I have ever seen in a dealership in my life. Mike Dine was absolutely awesome and would love to send business to him; however the entire company has unethical busine in a dealership in my life. Mike Dine was absolutely awesome and would love to send business to him; however the entire company has unethical business practices. I had been working on a deal for about 3 weeks now. The first encounter was not bad they started to work on financing, when going in the second time the finance manager Colt Key tried to make me buy an extended warranty that I didn't want. I told him that I was not going to purchase it and that he needed to take it off. He then proceeded to tell me that he would not and that I had to purchase it, he changed his story a couple of times during this as well being first is was the manager that was making him sell this to me then later it was the bank. It was also told to me that I could cancel it 6 months from that day as I didn't want it. Come to find out Mr. Key was not authorized to make the offer that he did. Upon the file being moved to another finance manager it was fully discovered that what Mr. Key had done, in my opionion, he was making a fraudalt deal. On the third trip into the dealership the deal was supposed to be done, but at last minute the final numbers were changed once again that more money had to be put down. After finally agreeing to do so, and waiting for several hours, one of the managers came over and explained that what they were doing for me was pending on a two car deal, as a friend was with me and considering buying a car. If he didn't buy a car as well that they could not complete the deal. By this time I expressed my frustration and explaination that he was never part of the deal. Where they get off trying to make someone do something that they don't want to do is unethical. My deal has had the numbers changed several time and each time it is different, of course it is always wanting more money down. I will not send any business to Ray Skillman in my lifetime, which is a shame as Mike Dine has tried his best to work on this deal and has gotten the short end of the stick. More

I was completely blown away with this dealerships staff! I called because they offered a buy here pay option and was hoping to get into a truck. Not only did they find me an awesome low mileage truck with t I called because they offered a buy here pay option and was hoping to get into a truck. Not only did they find me an awesome low mileage truck with tow package and 4x4, but they were actually able to get me financed! Everyone was friendly and it was just the most pleasant car buying experience I ever had. I'm glad I took the time to go see the great folks at Ray Skillman! Now a customer for life, I will recommend all my family and friends to Michael Dine. More

We live in Louisville KY and could not find a used car we wanted in Louisville. I shopped Auto Trader online for 9 months and to be honest got tired of seeing Ray Skillman used cars as it was out of my driv wanted in Louisville. I shopped Auto Trader online for 9 months and to be honest got tired of seeing Ray Skillman used cars as it was out of my driving distance with my work. When my wife and I had decided between two models of used Mustang convertibles we wanted to see and drive the only place close to us with both models was the Ray Skillman dealerships. The Saturday after Labor Day 2013 we made plans to come up and look at the Ford Dealership first as they had one of the models we were interested in and I thought would look at the inventory and find the other model as it was on another Skillman’s lot. The car we went to look at was sold over the Labor Day weekend and while they were nice and showed us other cars on that lot they did not look at the over all inventory. We left and drove down the road to the South Side KIA Dealership were we were waited on by Josh Falcon. I knew the used car I wanted to look at and he took us to it and let us look it over and drive it giving us directions to a place we could get out of the Saturday morning traffic. When we came back from the test drive he had found the other model in an older body style at even another Skillman Dealership across town and gave us directions on how to find it. We went over and drove it and made the decision that the one Josh had shown us was the one we were interested in. We went back not once but twice asking questions and each time was not pushed to make a decision and always was treated friendly by everyone working that Saturday. On the third time coming back in on the same day we made a deal. I wish I could say everything from there was a story book ending but it was not and we have had issues with the car. BUT Josh Falcon stayed true to his word with us and worked to make sure the car was like we agreed on when we picked it up a week later and the issues we have ran into after picking the car up he has gone up and above to make sure all issues have been resolved to our satisfaction and as of today we have no issues with our car. Also I would like to thank Doug in Finance for helping us during a our purchase and one Saturday morning when I called him by mistake when after the purchase things with the car was not going well. He assured me during my melt down things would be fixed and followed up the next week to make sure what he had told me was taken care of. While this car is not a daily commuter and will only be driven three seasons out of the year in some ways it is more important as it is toy we are both have work long and hard for and are proud to say we own a black 2011 Ford Mustang convertible GT and would like to recommend Josh Falcon and the Skillman Dealerships.

I initially spoke with a salesman and we could not come to an agreement. A couple days later, I emailed an offer for a 2013 GMC Acadia. They accepted the deal via voicemail AND email. I arrived to the d to an agreement. A couple days later, I emailed an offer for a 2013 GMC Acadia. They accepted the deal via voicemail AND email. I arrived to the dealership to close the deal and they had only included half of the deal in the write up. The sales manager indicated the sales rep made a mistake and he was not willing to stand by the deal, that the rep said was approved by the GMC manager. The sales manager acknowledged he understood the deal that I had proposed, but there was some mis-communication between the rep and the sales manager's boss when it was kicked up to him. I emailed the dealership general manager twice, the last one more than a week ago, and have not received a response from him. I'm very disappointed with their unwillingness to stand by a deal that was negotiated in good faith. More

Absolutely great experience. This dealership is leaps and bounds above the others we visited. Justin was great. Laid back, yet knowledgeable and diligent. Awesome customer service. Nearly every encounter we bounds above the others we visited. Justin was great. Laid back, yet knowledgeable and diligent. Awesome customer service. Nearly every encounter we had was pleasant. Staff is extremely accomodating. We LOVE our new 13 Sierra and are ready to make our cross-country trip to San Diego here in a couple weeks knowing that no matter what may happen, we are completely covered and in good hands. Oh and the cute dog at the front desk was just an added bonus. =) Would recommend Skillman to anyone and everyone. More
