by Jazmine on 09/21/2024updated 10/01/2024Jonathan was an amazing sales professional. He made us feel welcome and not pressured to buy a car. He was very patient and gave us a deal of a lifetime.Thorson Buick
by MaverickSean on 08/04/2024The dealership is small but beautiful. And the 1986 Oldsmobile pickup, yes, PICKUP in the showroom was fun to see. I'd never seen one before and can't even find one online. The staff was fantastic. Freddy was a perfect salesperson for… me in that, while I went in knowing exactly what I wanted, he took the time to explain the features and benefits of the entire car, which is saying something because the 2024 model had only been out for less than a month with completely different options than the 2023. He was amazing. Ron in Finance was equally patient in explaining options. I would absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone.Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Thorson Buick GMC and found our 1986 Oldsmobile pickup in the showroom so intriguing. It's great to know that Freddy and Ron provided you with outstanding service and took the time to explain all the features of the 2024 model. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back anytime! Sincerely, Ted Barnes General Sales Manager Thorson Motor Center 626-795-8851 tbarnes@thorsonmotorcenter.com
Randy Melendez - a real star at Thorson GMC
by PrsReed on 09/04/2023After 3 past leases with Thorson Buick GMC I was ready to change dealerships and look at other brand options since my vehicle of choice (Encore) was not going to be available any longer. This all changed due to the expert sales guidance and… outstanding customer service from Randy Melendez. Randy's consistent care + guidance is the sole reason I am still a Thorson customer and now have a new 3 year lease on a 2024 Encore GX. I will not hesitate to recommend Thorson (and specifically Randy) as the person to go to for their next car purchase or lease.Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to inform us of your ongoing positive experience. We are sincerely pleased to know that Randy's efforts have made a difference in your car-buying experience. If you ever have additional questions or need service, we are more than happy to lend a hand.

GREAT TEAM!
by JediPastorYoda on 03/29/2017We found out from Anna in the Service Department who we needed to speak with. She recommended Gavin and we set up the appointment for Saturday morning at 9:00 am. When we arrived, Gavin introduced himself and apologized for over-extending… himself with other customers who had arrived for their appointment at the same time. Gavin went on to introduce us to Tony, the Sales Manager, who brought in Cody. Needless to say, Cody was EXCELLENT. Throughout our test drives and leasing process, Cody stayed right with us. Tony worked the numbers to bring us the best deal possible and even though we didn't get the deal we had hoped for, Tony worked out an amazing deal nonetheless. When we met with Gabriel in Finance, he walked us through the signing process seamlessly. All in all, WOW! what a great team at Thorson. I will not only recommend others to go to Thorson, but I'll go there again for my next GMC!Thank you for recognizing your experience at our store, Jeffrey. It is great to know that Anna, Gavin, Gabriel and Tony were able to provide you with a pleasant time purchasing your new car. If you ever have any automotive needs in the future, don't hesitate to contact us at any time. Sincerely, Merlin Froyd, Sales Manager, mfroyd@thorsonmotorcenter.com

A Job well done!!!!
by Alleycatman on 11/25/2015updated 12/07/2015My lease was coming to an end on my previous car ( a Ford). I stopped into Thorson to see what deals were offered on the Encore.. It was a busy afternoon at the dealership. Tracy, Ron and the sales manager (Wilfred I believe was his… name) took time out between other customers to show me and test driver the car. They were very friendly and apologetic ( due to being overwhelmed with customers) but were very helpful none the less. That being said, they were very professional and I ended up leasing the Encore that evening. I did not feel ignored nor pressured. I did not come in expecting on leaving with a new car, but I did. Your team was busy, but worked well together and impressed me enough to be driving a Buick today. I am hard to please, but I am happy customer. My hat is off to your team. Thank you.Buick Encore
by DanaSouthPas on 11/15/2015updated 12/02/2015Ash was great. Knew all about the car and got the transaction done very quickly. I was very happy with my experience.Happy Customers!
by Madeaumor on 10/29/2015updated 11/11/2015Adam Wengronowitz assisted us, and couldn't have been more patient with us. He kept in constant contact with us, but never pressured us, which we appreciated. He made our car leasing experience a very positive one.Your kind words mean lot to us. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that Adam was able to assist you well. At Thorson Buick GMC, we always strive to provide the utmost in quality and customer satisfaction, and we try our best to make the car leasing experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

Finally - A No Pressure Car Buying Experience
by Afribrit on 10/13/2015updated 11/11/2015Greg was the perfect balance of warm and friendly, informative, but not salesy. Great on the phone before we went in. Equally great in person. Not pushy, no games, which was refreshing from an auto dealership. He related to us more like new… friends than numbers on a end of month sales sheet. When we wanted info, he had it. But we had time to explore the vehicle without a hard sell. Gabriel in finance was similarly approachable, unlike many in that position, who can be completely impersonal. It's the final step in a sale and other finance officers can make you feel like you're meeting the principal. Gabriel made the experience easy and comfortable. How car buying should be.Your kind words and fantastic star-rating are greatly appreciated! I am elated to hear that Greg and Grabrielle were able to provide you with an honest and pressure-free service we strive to deliver to each of our guests. Thank you for spreading the word about your excellent experience at Thorson Buick GMC; We look forward to working with you during your next service visit. Take care. Merlin Froyd, Sales Manager, mfroyd@thorsonmotorcenter.com.

by CjR123 on 07/24/2015updated 08/05/2015We were greeted promptly and kindly as we entered the showroom. We explained to Armando what we were looking for and he immediately showed us our options. He took us for a test drive while explaiing features and answering all questions. No… pressure, just patience as he allowed us to make our final decision. We finished the purchase in a timely manner as Betty prepared all the papers. From beginning to end it was a great experience.I had a very nice experience, thanks Vicky and Gabe
by Marloncoto on 05/29/2015updated 06/08/2015Vicky was great during the ordering processes and when the truck arrived. Gabe at finance was also very helpful and patient explaining all of the details. ThanksExcellent experience (and great car)!
by Jesbises on 05/28/2015updated 06/05/2015Ash was very knowledgable about all the vehicles. I felt that he really had our best interest in mind. He wasn't concerned with "making a sale," but wanted to truly help us find what worked best for our family and our needs. Not once did I… feel pressured to make a decision. He took time to go over all of the options and make sure we were comfortable with the SUV we chose. I am extremely happy with my experience, and would recommend my friends and family to work with Ash in the future!Valued Customer
by nrh243 on 04/24/2015updated 05/06/2015Treated me with as a valued customer, unlike the dealership in the South Bay. From my phone conversations with Merlin to my direct interaction with Nathan, I received outstanding service.Thorson GMC Pasadena
by CP2015gm on 04/21/2015updated 05/02/2015Thorson was a very nice dealership with very well trained staff. The staff was friendly and made sure to tend to the customers needs. The gentleman who sold the car to me was sure to follow up with a phone call to make sure that everything… was going well and that I was enjoying the vehicle. I really appreciate the great customer service.GMC Survey

by caborita1212_ on 01/30/2015updated 02/09/2015My experience at your dealership was above and beyond what I thought car buying was about thanks to my Sales Associate Ash Edwards no pressure no stress fulfilled all my requests and went out of his way to explain so many features of my… beautiful 2015 GMC Canyon before I drove off the lot. Not to mention finding one to my specific expectations at another dealership instead of having to wait 3 months to order one. Thanks again Ash and Thorson your the best.
