The salesman Jeff Davenport did a great job! The most important thing a salesman can do for a customer is communication. Jeff did not disappoint, He called me back immediately answered all my questions. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicle. The dealership made it very easy with the purchase. Honestly I will never go to another dealership. Thank you Jeff Davenport and the staff.

Me and my son drove a little 2 hours to the dealership. When we arrived they promptly got us with the people we had been texting and emailing. It was raining so they pulled the GMC Terrain inside so we could look at it. My son test drove it and then we started talking numbers. They came back to us with a better "Out the door price" than we got through the emails we received. They took care of financing, in was his first big purchase. They didn't try to up sale us or get us to buy what I call fluff items just to up there profit margins. Looks like they depend repeat customers and having a good reputation across the state and southeast. I highly recommend these people! We were in and out in about 3 hours. Quickest I have ever bought a new car. I dealt with Salma in internet sales and cant remember the young salesman we dealt with. I do remember he is 23-24 and a Hurricanes fan recently out of college. And the financial guy all get 5 🌟
★★★★★
The quality of work is unmatched!!! The price was very affordable as well. The courtesy of the technician is to be commended. Special thanks to The Sales Associates, Chase and Dalton for assisting me with my retirement vehicle. Professionalism at its best!!!
★★★★★
Although excellent, the overall experience took approximately 5 hours, from arrival to departure from dealership. Entirely too long for a car buying process Christopher is an excellent sales technician. As I mentioned to him, I'm not easily impressed, but his sales ability was very impressive. His patience is much better than mine😄 I would rate Christopher a 10. He has continued to provide assistance after the sale has concluded. Grateful and thankful for that
★★★★★
Lowell Sampson was amazing! He knew the answer to every question we threw at him! Would definitely deal with him on our next vehicle! Thank you Lowell!
★★★★★
Vilma was our salesperson and she was absolutely fantastic through the whole process! Very easy to deal with and always either had the answer and found out the answer very quickly. Definitely recommend working with her for your new car purchase!
★★★★★
I recently purchased a 26 Sierra 1500 at Howard Bentley and had a great experience. The salesman Roosevelt was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and not pushy. We did a trade in and were given a price that was in the appropriate price range. We live about 2 hours away so we did all the negotiating over the phone and they delivered the truck the next day and picked up our trade in at the same time. It was definitely the easiest car buying experience I’ve had.
★★★★★
First class and best customer service you can ask for. Thank you, Roosevelt!
★★★★★
Lowell help me get exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Howard Bentley GMC.

Love it.

Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0
