I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Jim Ellis GMC

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Jim Ellis GMC at Mall of Georgia. I had a few issues with my truck that needed to be addressed, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. A huge thank you to my salesperson, David Estrella, and his manager, Sami Karaki, for standing behind the sale and making sure I was taken care of. I also want to recognize my service writer, Ed Barnes, who did an excellent job communicating with me and getting the problems resolved. It’s easy for a dealership to treat you well when they’re trying to sell you a vehicle. What really matters is how they treat you after the sale when an issue comes up, and that’s where these guys really impressed me. Great customer service, great communication, and they followed through on what they said they would do. I truly appreciate David, Sami, Ed, and Jason at Jim Ellis GMC. They’ve earned my business and my recommendation! -Kelly Ledford

My experience with Ed Barnes personally was positive.

My experience with Ed Barnes personally was positive. He was professional, courteous, and communicated with me throughout the process. My frustration is with how the underlying vehicle issue was handled. My 2022 Buick Enclave previously required repair for a known manufacturer-related exhaust defect. The exhaust system developed problems again, and the resulting exhaust leak was followed by catalytic converter damage and a P0420 code. Despite the history of the manufacturer defect and the connection I raised between the exhaust leak and subsequent catalytic converter failure, I was told the catalytic converter was unrelated and GM declined to cover the repair. I was instead offered a $500 discount. I also experienced a significant fluid leak after the vehicle was serviced, which created an additional concern that had not existed beforehand. I appreciate Ed’s assistance, but I am extremely disappointed that I am being left responsible for an expensive repair that I believe resulted from a recurring manufacturer-related exhaust problem rather than normal wear and tear.

Disappointed, I was sent an estimate, but when I went to pay, it was significantly higher! The charges were inflated from the estimate… Why send an estimate if it’s not valid! It’s not rocket science, oil change & fuel filter… Those are the same charges every time…. When I asked about why, I didn’t get a straight answer…. The service writer acted like it’s normal to do that… That’s just not good customer service…

I turned my lease in yesterday to get into a new one, and honestly, it was the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. David reached out to me on my cell before I even walked into the dealership, which already told me he was going to take care of me. He was polite, he listened, and I could tell he actually cared about getting me the best deal instead of just closing a sale. I told him my budget going in, and somehow he came in under it. I still can’t believe that happened. No pressure, no games, just straight up honesty the whole way through. Five stars doesn’t even feel like enough. If I could give David a 6, I would. He’s got a customer for life now. See you in three years for my next one, David! If you’re heading to Jim Ellis, do yourself a favor and ask for David.

Started off bad. Service that was paid for appeared to not be done. Brakes(front and rear) both appeared not to be completed. So I was very apprehensive that any of the service was completed. Spoke with Charles who then got the service manager Nick involved. Nick had my vehicle picked up from our home. Brought back to their shop. Nick insured all the services were completed and had the truck returned to our home. He even had the truck detailed. So bad first experience but Charles and Nick went above and beyond to make us feel secure that our vehicle was taken care of properly. We will be returning for future services. Those two guys are simply wonderful.

Our buying experience at Jill Ellis Buick was exceptional. Ben, our salesman, delivered outstanding service and ensured we were comfortable throughout the entire process. The Used Car Sales Manager, Jason Hunter, also checked in with us to confirm we were satisfied with the level of service provided. Additionally, Ken Wang from the finance department was excellent—he explained every detail clearly, ensured we fully understood the financing, and guided us seamlessly through each step. We truly appreciate the professionalism and care shown by the entire team.

I was able to negotiate a great price.

I was able to negotiate a great price. However, as a result, the dealer decided to REMOVE the tonneau cover that was on the truck at the initial test drive, and in photos in the vehicles listing..... immediately after I paid for the vehicle.

He was polite, he listened, and I could tell he actually cared about getting me the best deal instead of just closing a sale. I told him my budget going in, and somehow he came in under it. I still can’t believe that happened. No pressure, no games, just straight up honesty the whole way through. Five stars doesn’t even feel like enough. If I could give David a 6, I would. He’s got a customer for life now.

I turned my lease in yesterday to get into a new one, and honestly, it was the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. David reached out to me on my cell before I even walked into the dealership, which already told me he was going to take care of me.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Jim Ellis GMC

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Jim Ellis GMC at Mall of Georgia. I had a few issues with my truck that needed to be addressed, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. A huge thank you to my salesperson, David Estrella, and his manager, Sami Karaki, for standing behind the sale and making sure I was taken care of. I also want to recognize my service writer, Ed Barnes, who did an excellent job communicating with me and getting the problems resolved. It’s easy for a dealership to treat you well when they’re trying to sell you a vehicle. What really matters is how they treat you after the sale when an issue comes up, and that’s where these guys really impressed me. Great customer service, great communication, and they followed through on what they said they would do. I truly appreciate David, Sami, Ed, and Jason at Jim Ellis GMC. They’ve earned my business and my recommendation! -Kelly Ledford

Jim Ellis dealership was easy to work with and the purchase of my truck went very smooth. I first made contact with the internet manager, Richard Nouris, who assisted with getting me the numbers I requested. Then salesman Victor Harris, closed the deal like a boss! Victor was personable, knowledgeable and overall cared about my purchase experience. He was forthcoming, transparent and did not pressure me to make any hasty decisions. I highly recommend the Jim Ellis dealership, especially using Victor as the salesman, and would buy another vehicle from them anytime.

I scheduled an appointment for 10 a.

I scheduled an appointment for 10 a.m. and was promised same-day diagnosis, with repairs expected to take one day. However, after waiting several hours, my car had not been diagnosed, and I was informed that the process would not begin until the next business day. I rented a car based on the original timeline, resulting in unnecessary expense and inconvenience. I returned early to retrieve my vehicle because I felt that if the service consultant was misinformed, anyone working on my vehicle would also be misinformed. I left without a diagnosis or repair, and the poor communication significantly wasted my time. I am dissatisfied with this experience and will not return or recommend this business to friends.
