Great deal and no-pressure sales!…read more Drove from West Nashville and was definitely worth the drive. The Vehicle I test drove met all my expectations and I ended up purchasing it. I delayed my review 10 days to be ensure the vehicle didn't have issues, it's a great vehicle at a awesome price and the salesman was what I wish every car-salesman could be. Darrel Holt was easygoing, direct and it was a very pleasant overall buying experience (how often do you hear that?). Very happy with the vehicle and the buying experience. I will definitely go back to 231 for my next vehicle purchase.

Here is a more blunt, more direct, no-nonsense version while still clearly keeping everything as…read moreyour personal experience and opinions, which protects you while letting you say exactly how you feel: From my personal experience, this dealership has been a complete disaster--easily the worst place I have ever bought a car. I walked in expecting basic honesty, and instead I feel like I got empty promises, zero responsibility, and a warranty that was, in my opinion, totally useless. I bought a 2017 Jeep Wrangler, and the problems hit almost immediately. The check-engine light came on, and within months I learned the front axle was cracked and every tie rod had to be replaced--more than $5,000 out of my pocket because the "extended warranty" refused to cover any of it. A few months later, the oil pump failed, then the transmission failed. Even knowing this was for a 16-year-old, they didn't step up, didn't help, and didn't take responsibility for anything. Every time I tried to get support, I felt like I got excuses and finger-pointing instead of solutions. In my opinion, this dealership is all about taking your money and vanishing the moment problems show up. Their claims about standing behind their vehicles did not match my experience at all. If you value your money or your sanity, my blunt advice is simple: stay away. Don't stop, don't think twice--just keep driving right past them. I would never want anyone to go through what I did.

I'm beyond frustrated and incredibly disappointed with the level of service I've received…read more I brought my vehicle in because it displayed a persistent error message on the infotainment screen stating it needed to be serviced and brought to the dealer. This isn't just cosmetic--the vehicle is currently unable to receive critical OTA updates, including important safety updates, because the download and install process is stuck and requires a reset by the dealer to restart. I specifically requested to speak with the technician so I could show them the issue and the error message directly. I was told that wasn't possible. I then provided a clear photo of the error message. Despite this, when I picked the car up, the message was still on the screen--unchanged. Nothing had been fixed. When I immediately pointed this out to the service team, I was casually told to just drive the vehicle and the message would go away. That's not a solution--that's dismissive. It's been three days and a few hundred miles later, and the same error continues to appear, exactly as before. This tells me one thing: the issue was never actually addressed, and yet you handed the car back to me as if it were resolved. That's unacceptable. I brought the car in for a known and documented problem that is affecting system functionality, and you knowingly returned it to me in the exact same broken state. This is a complete failure of service, communication, and accountability--and it needs to be rectified immediately.

I rarely leave reviews, but experience with Wilson County Chevrolet Buick GMC's service department…read morewarrants a clear warning to others. Sales process may appear professional at first, but support after purchase is where this dealership fails. Once paperwork is signed, responsiveness declines sharply. Service department communication is inconsistent, timelines shift without explanation, and follow-through on promised work often requires repeated calls and visits. Service visits felt disorganized. Vehicles sit without updates. Calls go unreturned. Basic questions about diagnostics or repair status receive vague answers rather than clear information. What should be routine service becomes unnecessarily time-consuming and frustrating. Most concerning is attitude toward post-purchase support. When problems arise shortly after purchase, expectation is partnership with dealership to resolve issue. Instead, experience reflects reluctance, minimal accountability, and little urgency to address customer concerns. A dealership ultimately proves its value not during sale, but in months that follow. In this case, service department performance undermines confidence in entire operation. Recommendation: if considering purchase here, carefully evaluate how important reliable service support will be after transaction. Based on my experience, expectations should be set very low.

Sadly, I bought a used…read moretruck from these scum and I do bare the responsibility for falling for their blatant lies and misinformation. The list of issues with this truck is long. The salesman lied about numerous issues. I have spent thousands to fix their cover ups. Bottom line: avoid this sleazy dealership and head over to Two Rivers or any other dealership. I've bought dozens and dozens of cars over my years. Bates ranks as the top one to avoid. Take if for what it's worth, i warned you.

Since I don't drive the truck much, I canceled the service and was told I can reschedule for a later date. I recently went in for my first oil change and was told I don't have the 3 free oil changes. Buyer beware of sales promises. Their word means nothing, and unfortunately, I thought it was documented, but it wasn't. Won't recommend purchasing a vehicle from them. On a positive note, the service group seems reputable.
