I just purchased a new Yukon xl Denali. The entire team was great. From the first phone call to the drive home, no regrets. I've purchased many new cars, this was by far the best new car buying experience. Without a doubt when my next car buying process starts I will come back to Thompson's. Thanks guys. Cheers! read more

See all

We had a great experience at Thompson's. Harveen and Jimmy took the time to make sure we knew what to expect before our almost 2 hour drive to Placerville. They were upfront in dealing with us, and kept any commitment they made prior to our drive there. We'll go out of our way to find our next vehicle there! read more

We had seen a used truck on their website that we liked. Went to look at it we were greeted by Johnathon Carr. Got the keys and showed us the truck we were interested in. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, he made the experience very fun. read more

Awesome spot to get stuck as a waiter to get car fixed! They have internet, tables, snacks, drinks! This place knows how to take care of their customers! Will be back next time I'm in the area and need service. read more

Kyle Ryan is the most respectful, hardworking, down to earth salesman who will go above and beyond to make the car buying process pain free! He took such good care of us and got us everything we wanted at an amazing price. Car buying is never easy, unless you work with Kyle! I would recommend him 100x over! Shout out to Steve Conner too who helped out with financing! Awesome men! Btw Kyle Ryan needs a raise or a promotion, just a paying customers honest opinion :) read more

Just bought our new car from Thompson's. Great price and a wonderful car. Love the car delivery service! Made our buying experience one of the most hassle free ever. Staff kept in touch as we test drove other cars, etc, but not too often and never pushy. The after purchase followup has been great as well. When the time comes we will definitely consider Thompson's for our next car. You should as well. read more

We purchased a new GMC Canyon from Thompsons on Saturday 8/28/21. I can't say enough about our salesman Kyle. He was so complete, answered all of our questions and did not make me feel any pressure at all. He put together a great deal. Everyone we dealt with was so good. Finance was easy. While all of the dealers in the Sacramento area were putting a $5K to $10K Premium over MSRP, Thompsons did not mark up at all. They even have the best waiting room by sales I've ever seen. We will not hesitate to refer everyone we can, and when it is time to buy a new car, this is where we will go! read more

Excellent buying experience. Our salesman Victor went above and beyond to make the sale happen, even going into work on his day off to finalize paperwork and answer any questions I had. read more

One word - rude! My wife and I went there to check out and hopefully purchase a used Mini Cooper they had on the lot. The"old school" sales person was pushy and just plain rude. Evidently, they're looking for suckers and if they can't fleece you price wise and/or percentage rate (loan - regardless of your rating) - they'd just as soon you walk.. Unprofessional to say the least - read more

I live in SF but I come here for my service when I'm visiting my family because the whole service team is fantastic -- not just because of the free warm popcorn! Joe took great care of me today; found a sweet set of tires for me and I got a killer price! I didn't expect a dealer to be so price-competitive but they were! I've been buying tires for years at the same tire-place but I've learned that Thompson's is the place to go for this too. I've have had many many services done on here over the years and look forward to many more. Don't forget to ask for the car wash! read more

The entire sales team (Steve, Jimmy, Dan) was a pleasure to work with and provided excellent service. Jimmy was especially helpful in helping get me into a truck that ticked all the boxes and fit within our budget. This is my second purchase at Thompsons. I've tried to work with over a dozen dealers in the area and no one can match the service and prices I get at Thompson's. I've passed up similar deals at less friendly dealerships because I'd rather give my money to a quality dealer full of good people. It's not always about getting the best deal possible (although I got that too). A vehicle purchase should be a good experience and Thompsons provides that. read more

New tires, front shocks, oil change. Quick, easy, and reasonable. Thanks Bill and team. Thanks for the rides home and back Perry and Eric. read more

Had an amazing truck buying experience at this dealership! First dealership my husband actually liked!!!! The process was simple an easy!!! From the moment my husband inquired about the GMC ELEVATION in Satin Steel... Kyle our salesman was AAAAMAZIN!!! My husband and I do not like the car buying experience at all typically,... but from Kyle whom was very knowledgeable and attentive to us and what we were looking for to our finance guy (his name escapes me... but his office was all the way to the left.... we loved him too!!! He was very personable and took great care of us!! We love Thompsons GMC... and that is where we would buy our next truck for sure or car!! Thank you Thompsons for being 10 steps above all the rest!!! read more

One star is too much for this dealer. We purchased a 2019 Sierra Denali 1500 on 8/31/19 and we left with the wrong vehicle because of the negligence of your dealer's staff. When we received the call from Jesse (manager) he asked us to come to the dealer to return the vehicle. We were pressured by his staff to do the exchange before Saturday 11/30/19when will be the end of the month and will look bad with the inventory. I asked for compensation for my time off from work and it did not happened. We bought the vehicle clean inside and the fuel tank close to full. Cheap people, the vehicle from them had less then a full tank of gas, bread crumbs in the cab, the seat belt buckeled in the back but this time around the correct vehicle. Shame to this dealer. We are humans and make mistakes but we have to show appreciation to people that help us to correct the mistake. I don't have any good thinks to say about this dealer. Same to General sales manager Jesse . In this transaction Jesse was the only person that we interact at the dealership. The good think of this story we have the pick up truck that we were looking to buy 3 months ago. YOU BE THE JUDGE IF YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE LIKE THIS read more

Kyle was great to work with, had all the paperwork started before I got to the dealership and gave me everything I asked for without any drama. My experience with Thompson's was entirely different than my experience with another big local dealership, I'd definitely buy from them again. read more

I would recommend this dealership to my friends and family The family atmosphere here is great and the no pressure style sales makes it worth shopping for a car! Kyle Ryan worked with us and was fantastic. He informative but not pushy. He sold my son his vehicle and my husband was so impressed we went back to him. The financial manager was great and explained everything to us. It wasn't your stereo typical car buying experience of buying a car. They were efficient with their time and attentive without being over bearing. Thank you Thompson's Buick GMC in Placerville Ca. read more

i drove out from the bay area to check out a car that they had for sale the sales man told me over the phone reassuring me if i came out i will be leaving with the car that day so i drove 2 hours with my brother and his son and my friend so he could drive the car back. at the end of the day i wasted my time i dint walk out with the car i felt like i was kinda pushed to the side . i called in the next day to check in with my application to see how the process is a associate answered the phone and said i can help you with that so he proceeded to look over my application then he changed his tone immediately assuming i did not have the money for the vehicle so he started to cut me off telling me they cant help me and i should be looking some where else to buy a vehicle because i can not afford the deposit obviously i was upset about this so i have tried calling the sales man i dealt with before and emailed him multiple times but have not gotten a reply back from anybody about this matter. i feel like this location is very 2 faced and they do judge you based off your appearance i would never recommend this to my family friends or business partners just from the disrespect that i felt from read more

The best car/truck buying experience in Northern California, no joke. The customer service and respect from them to you as the buyer is superb. They treat you like family and not just another statistic walking on a car lot. Dustin is the man over there and for sure takes care of you all the way through. Can't say enough good things about Thompsons GMC and I am a customer for life. Thanks for the new truck! read more

We bought a 2018 Yukon Denali here a few weeks ago. Jessie helped us. We received excellent customer service and never felt pressured or "harassed" as many customers do when car shopping. This is the 2nd time we've purchased from this dealership. I highly recommend all Thompsons dealerships. When we bought our vehicle we found a scuff in the rims. They took care of it in a due bill. They provided me with a rental, a full sized SUV and took care of the expense. The service department really goes above and beyond for customer service. Everyone is friendly and professional. I recommend Thompsons to all my friends. read more

I reached out to the dealership earlier in the week about a specific car they had in their inventory. I also made sure that I was pre-qualified from a lender to help expedite the process. I made certain the dealership had my contact information, the VIN # to the car I was interested in, and the offer-letter from my lender for that specific car. I also alerted them that it would take me about 2.5 hours to drive from my residence to their dealership. My wife and I arrived 10 minutes early to our pre-scheduled 5:00PM appointment yesterday only to be told the car I was interested in, pre-qualified for, and brought the down-payment for, was sold about an hour prior to our arrival. The fact that the car was sold prior to my arrival was disappointing enough. At the very least, it would've been nice to have been given first right of refusal. The fact that NO ONE thought it prudent to call me to notify me of the car's sale prior to my arrival - when they clearly had my mobile number - is a severe lack of communication on their part and demonstrates a level of customer service that makes a mockery of the word! It would've saved me and my wife a wasted day, wasted gas, and wasted miles on our current family car. In short, this dealership completely wasted my time, and I would advise anyone interested in buying from them to STRONGLY reconsider it. read more

Was on the hunt for a truck. Found the best inventory at this location. I was helped by Victor Cazares who speaks Spanish by the way and made it that much easier. (Habló el español perfecto) He was patient and didn't pressure me at all. Wore a mask and followed all Covid 19 protocols. Helped me trade in my 14" Ford Fusion, allowed me to purchase my first ever brand new GMC Sierra SLT at a fair price where we both were happy! I highly recommend this place. read more

I had been putting off some maintenance on my GMC pickup because of Covid. Last month I received my DMV renewal requiring a smog check. I checked with Thompson's and found out they offered to pick the car up and deliver when finished. I called and talked with Sarah who was so accommodating to find a day that worked for me and the appointment was made. My truck was picked up and within minutes Bill from the service department called to confirm what I needed done. The truck was finished and delivered back to my house (even washed) as promised. I had left a small trip for the driver which had not even been taken. This was exceptional service during exceptional times. Thank you Thompson's read more

They took my lease turn in without any hassles. I can't say the same for the other Buick dealerships in the area. Stand up guys here. If I get another Buick it'll be from these guys. I don't k on why honest dealerships are so hard to come by these days, but Thompson's is one of the few. read more

We bought a 2010 Subaru Legacy from the Cameron Park lot. GREAT SALES staff!! I am disappointed in the service department. When I drove the car to work the next morning, I found the low beam headlights were burned out. I had to drive to work with high beams on. On further inspection I found the air filter full of dirt and weeds, bad windshield wiper blades, and just no indication that the car had been serviced and/or inspected by the dealer. NOT A SAFE IDEA..... read more

After what I thought was a good sale experience buying a SUV from Thompson's, I returned 4 months later to get a second key and fob. During the sale I was talked into adding insurance service, covering dings/dents and key/fob replacement. I knew it was expensive to replace a key/fob for newer vehicles due to having to replace one for our other vehicle so, knowing that the used SUV I was purchasing only had 1 key/fob, I asked if I could use it to get another key at which time, I was told I could. So, I agreed to the to the purchase of the service. As I was leaving I asked the sales person if I could make the key/fob claim on the On-Star service when setting it up. He indicated that it was a different service and I needed to wait 30 days to make the claim. Upon my return to Thompson's to make the claim, I was now being told that the service didn't cover the key/fob because the car I purchased only came with one key/fob. I explained why I purchased the service and what was said to me at that time, by TWO different employees of Thompson's. After making it clear that they needed to honor what the employee's told me the sales manager said what I was telling him was "hearsay" and that he would investigate it. He said he would split the cost of the key/fob. I let them know it was my expectation that they replace the key/fob or refund the purchase price of the service. He agreed to a full refund. (we'll see if it comes through). After a bit of paperwork, I explained to the sales manager that I was driving specifically from another town, with a dealer in it, to Thompson's to give them my business because of what I thought was a good sales experience and good customer service and that now, because of an unwillingness to take care of what should've been a long term customer, eventual repeat customer, I will no longer recommend or use any service at Thompson's. The fact is I will discourage any one I talk to about my SUV from buying at or using Thompson's in anyway, all for about $200. read more

Bought a new Buick here just last week. Mike was great, positive and personable. I didnt feel rushed or pushed to get something I didnt want. I ended up starting the purchase paperwork that day. Couldn't be happier and the process couldn't have been easier! Thanks Mike! read more

Kyle and the team were amazing, and worked with what we could afford. We told them what we could do and they gave us the best deal in El Dorado County. We cannot thank them enough on selling us our beautiful GMC Acadia! read more

What the hell was I thinking when I went back here recently for an oil change?!! I found a coupon for $20 and I thought why not...they can't screw up an oil change right? WRONG!!! My vehicle had never leaked oil and after a couple days I started noticing there was oil in my driveway. Decided to check the oil pan plug and it was fine, but the "Certified Idiot" over there didn't even tighten the filter down and my vehicle almost ran out of oil. Talk about Incompetence!!! Isn't that one of the very first things you learn at school??? This time I mean it...I will NEVER go back!!! When it's time for a new car I will drive down to Folsom and will not give this place anymore of my hard earned money. They have a monopoly on the market here in Placerville, but it's not worth getting your car screwed up or your pocket emptied. You have now been doubly warned!!! read more

Quick and painless. Dave was great. He had the truck all ready and made the purchase fast and easy. I wasted a whole day at another dealer only to find out they did not have the truck I requested over the phone. Dave assured me he had the truck I wanted and had it all ready when I got there. Dave will be saved in my speed dial for my next vehicle purchase. read more

Went to by a vehicle that I had found online. Once I got home the check engine light came on hours after leaving the dealership. Took the vehicle to Folsom chevy to have it serviced(a reputable dealer) to find that Thompsons had glued the pieces to the ignition coil. When I called to explain the issue I was laughed at by Jessie the sales manager and told I should have paid for their service contract and then he laughed again. Since then I have been in contact with GM cooperate and have been reimbursed and told not to do business with Thompson as they are not reputable. read more

This place is awesome. I went in, a college student, needing a reliable car at a good price and these guys gave me more than I could ask for. Everyone was very welcoming and happy to help me answer any questions and get me situated with my new car and trade in my old one. Special thanks to Kris Hulsing and Jimmy Pizzifero for making this a smooth and easy transition for me! You guys rock!! read more

Jimmy, Ed and Jesse were all very helpful and pleasant to work with. They helped me get in and out quickly and with a great deal on my new car lease. read more

Nice dealership, some people are nice while others not so much. While I was there, the cashier was doing 10 million different things. She kept arguing with me that she gave me my key to my car after it had been serviced. When I asked her for my key for the last time she threw it and slid it on the desk. The service was great although the car wash job was awful. Even though it had rained a little, they left grease all over the door and fenders. They did offer to rewash it, it would still inconvenience me to drive 20 miles away. I don't plan on going back. I plan on taking my business somewhere else or doing the work myself. Thanks for putting me $1,500 in the hole! read more

We just leased our second GMC from Ed, this time a 2017 Terrain. We were so impressed with the high level of costumer care that we received,that we bypassed a couple of closer dealers in order to do business with Ed again. We were NOT disappointed. Will definitely go back again when we need another car or truck. read more

I'll keep this a lot shorter than my experience with Thompsons deserves. I was just passing through from out of state. My check engine light came on first thing that Friday morning and I decided to stop there. It was late morning. they told me that the problem was the DEF heater and that it would be covered under warranty. However they couldn't have it ready until Monday because they didn't have the replacement part in stock. I told them that I was from out of town and could I stay at their house until then. Of course I was kidding. I left my truck with them and went for a walk to contemplate my options. I got a call that they found one in Sacramento and that if the mechanic would come in on Saturday, they could have it running by end of day Saturday. As I was making arrangements for a place to stay the night, I got a call around 2:20 that my truck was ready for pick up. WHAT? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Maybe they thought I was serious about staying at their house? Funny. They bent over backwards for this poor old guy from out of town. When it's time to trade in this great truck, I'll come back to Thompsons in Placerville, California. Mike R. read more

We aren't 'heavy' yelpers but felt inclined to write this for TB GMC!! Worked out a deal on a 2017 Denali Yukon and the 3 musketeers (Jimmy, Ed and Harveen) went out of their way to help us secure/seal the deal. We had some initial misunderstanding on another vehicle and after an hours commute from Sac to Placeville, we discovered the error (yes..there's 2 feet of difference between a standard Denali and a XL ;-)), we discovered the listing error in person and almost bailed out. The trio went out of their way and managed to give us a excellent deal on a 2017 demo vehicle with similar discounts and additional factory warranty and even gave us a rental to drive back home and they dropped the vehicle the next day directly to our house in Elk Grove!! And a bottle of wine to celebrate to top it off! On the same note, if you are considering CarMax...read this. While their 'used' deals may seem like a deal, there are dealers out there (e.g. TB GM) that are willing to offer decent discounts/rebates so definitely shop around. The other thing I learnt is Carmax gets a lot of 'rejects' that dealers discard or wouldn't accept so before you consider that BMW at Carmax for $20k, look up the vehicle history or get the VIN and run it by a BMW dealership ..most will run the history for free. We were considering pre owned Denalis at Carmax and after test driving 2, both had weird tranny issues but Carmax simply said it's normal and recommended their "peace of mind extended warranty" for additional $4k!! Carmax will also kill you if you have a trade-in and while this is expected from a corporate 3rd party retailer, we received a whole $1.5k better value for our old Jeep at TB GMC). We also had bad experience at Elk Grove auto mall and it seems with heavy foot traffic in the prime location, dealers over there feel less entitled to offer discounts to customers..it's more like they came up with numbers/% rate and told us " take it or leave it..your choice". At TB, it was a whole different experience. Customer for life! read more

Ed could not have made our car buying experience easier; he even made it enjoyable! We communicated over email for a couple of weeks and were delighted to meet the same straightforward, knowledgeable friendly person when we arrived at the dealership to purchase our vehicle. The gentleman that helped us with financing was also stellar. He was helpful and clear; so refreshing. We will definitely recommended this dealership due to these 2 individuals and will likely patronize it again ourselves. Thanks. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE customer service!!! Being summertime and the temperatures reaching up to 100 a lot of days here, we needed to get the air conditioning fixed as soon as possible. We took our car to one other place, they didn't do anything and we wasted our time. We took our car to Thompson's the next day at 8am, and they told us it would be done by the end of the day. The business closes at 6, and by 5pm, we still hadn't heard back from anyone. We called at 5, the tech- DANA (HORRIBLE PERSON) said that he was still waiting to see what parts were needed, and would call by the end of the business day. Still no call at 6, we called a few minutes after 6 and the guy who answered had no idea what was going on, and not expecting to, we left our car there overnight. Called the next morning- Dana told us that the car had been evaluated the day before, that because we didn't say we were in dire need of our car, he thought it was our fault that the car stayed overnight, then proceeded to lie and say that he told us it could possibly be the next morning (NEVER happened). We had to leave our car because all the techs for the day went home, and no one there knew what was going on with it, if it was available to take home or not. Finally, after waiting for a quote, they wanted to charge $1700 just to fix an air conditioner, and of course would need it another day. We said no of course, because that is ridiculous. When I tried asking if the car had been taken care of the day before or the next morning, he said that it was diagnosed the day before, about 5pm (probably right after we called). It sat at the dealership for ten hours, not worked on, and no one called us to tell us that we could have had the car the whole day. When confronted with the same question- why did you not call us, his answer was that it was our fault for not telling him we were in great need of our car. He told us that because we weren't going through with the repair, we wasted an hour of the technician's time, not that he had wasted two days of our time. To top it off, we had only been here one time before. When finally backed into a corner of lies, he made one last attempt at telling another lie- said he remembered us from the time before, and that I came in complaining how long an oil change took. That day we were out in the parking lot looking at cars while we waited. I don't know how that can be confused with coming inside and yelling at someone. Dana is the most untruthful person I have ever come into contact with. I never write reviews on anything, but that is all people have to go off of sometimes, and this whole situation is completely messed up. THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE, IF YOU CAN AVOID THEM, I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!!!! read more

Great dealership. Even better wine. Don't wait, buy your vehicle here. Excellent customer service. Truly, the best in the area. I could've gone to Folsom but it was worth the drive up the hill. This dealership is the best in town. read more

Bill Allen, your Service Advisor went out of his way to fix the lift gate on my Silverado. I did not have an appointment or did I live locally. The parts manager had the part in stock and within a couple of hours the lift gate was fixed by a mechanic in your shop. Thanks again "Billy" ! read more
