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

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…

Ed Barnes is great and appreciate his help and care when I come in. I also have to stress how incredibly grateful I am any time I reach out to Nick Rose. If only the other GMC service centers could come close! He's remarkable and an incredible asset to your dealership. Do whatever you have to keep him there - others just don't compare. As someone in a service role myself, I can appreciate how taxing it can be, but he's always exceeded our expectations. We know we'll get taken care of and the job will be done right when it's in his care.

Started off bad.

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.

Always greeted by Charles. I mean he's probably one of the nicest guys there to greet you as you enter. Those other gentleman on your right as you walk in is so cold and not welcoming. I've been coming to this dealership for the last 10/15 years and purchased at least 7 cars and those few guys have been the same. Thank God for Sammy, Charles , Melissa!

James has great customer service. He greeted me when I came to the counter. There was just a small issue with my part that was recalled wasn’t put on correctly. He called me and asked him. Could I bring it back in? Actually he offered for him or someone from the dealership to pick up the vehicle for me, which was really really convenient. I really love that and also my tank was full and they brought the vehicle back so I would definitely be bringing my car there if I have any issues thank you.

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.

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

Great purchase experience.

Great purchase experience. David was great and communicated well. Disappointed in the detailing. Rushed to clean the car and scrapped the interior side walls of the passenger and driver door. Also Made the car dirty from tire shine (black all over the white car) and broke the middle console. Popped out the middle compartmentZ

Victor was a pleasure to work with. He made the process very easy to help maneuver around my busy schedule. The truck I was test driving was already sitting up front when I got there. He also took the time to go over the vehicle and make sure I had everything set up. Came back the next day and paperwork was ready to sign and get me rolling.
