Randy Melendez - a real star at Thorson GMC

by PrsReed on 09/04/2023

After 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.

Great Service

by Aaron_16 on 03/27/2015

Great service, Vince Carpenter took very good care of us. He even suggested a great place to have lunch while they fixed our car. Everyone we have come in contact with has been friendly, we feel right at home here.

Service at Thorson Motors, Pasadena, CA

by BlueStreakSSR on 03/19/2015

Always a good experience. Often a great experience. My favorite Service writer, Joe, is always attentive when I arrive and wants to be sure he understands the issue if there is one. If it is just a routine servie he always makes sure to check for items which I may have overlooked, but it is always my decision on what work will be done. Joe respects my knowledge and listens to what I have to say , but is very knowlegable and will discuss issues fully before the course of action is decided.

My Tire was Screwed

by buschie on 03/07/2015

There was a screw in one of my tires that caused a slow leak. The service on my car could not be completed until a new tire could be installed. The tire was not available until leter and I had a doctor's appointment. You supplied me with a car to go to my appointment. When I returned my car was almost ready.

by MayraNAlfred on 03/02/2015

BUSY SATURDAY. I made an appointment for 8 a.m. got there at 7:20 a.m. Astrid explained the time, I said it was fine, I was surprised that at 8:45 a.m. it was ready. Complimentary donuts and coffee was available. Only had a donut. Thank you. I will be coming back for sure to have Astrid take care of my vehicle.

Recent Service request for added options

by caborita1212_ on 02/26/2015

Everything went smooth with the reason for my visit. Was greeted pleasantly thanks to Vince and "ASH". I was notified promptly when my truck was ready for pick up. There was a little confusion in the cashier's office but it worked out okay. Thanks again guys I already have and will continue to recommend your dealership to friends and family. But I have to say I have to give 99% of the credit to Ash from the first time I called till even today he has blown all my car purchase nightmares out of the water and hit a home run.

GMC Survey

by ggulesserian on 02/05/2015

We had a very pleasant experience with our salesman, Jeffrey Purcell was very knowledgeable and very familiar in the car we had chosen to look into. His attitude and familiarity with the car had huge contribution to our decision making.

Why buy from Thorson can't make your decision but I am one happy car buyer!

by caborita1212_ on 01/30/2015

My 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. If your car shopping and reading this try here first!

Replace container for window washing

by Verano7 on 01/28/2015

Replaced container for water & chemicals to wash windows on 2 year old car. Came in last week to replace water & chemicals as computer indicated empty. While replacing water & chemicals, Vince saw that there was a leak in the container. Container ordered, arrived day later, but Monday was the first opportunity I had to get back to Thorson's service. I waited comfortably in your waiting room while container was replaced & appreciated the complimentary coffee!

Great place to buy a new car!

by Acadialover on 11/01/2014

Our salesman Greg was excellent. We met with him prior to our decision to buy. He was knowledgable, helpful in showing different options available, and was not 'pushy' at all. When we were ready to buy we went through him and he was able to get the car we wanted. We have always had good dealings with Thorson in Pasadena.

Buick

by Leewalters99 on 10/31/2014

Adam went far above the expectations of a sales executive in offering details around the car, the dealership and lease options. I'm sure he will do well in the future.

Thorson Trust, Honest, Outstanding, Respectful, Smart, Original, Negotiable

by Regine on 10/30/2014

I want to express my thanks to Mike Grady Jr. and your staff for the courteous and professional manner extended to me during my recent purchase of a Buick Enclave. Mike Jr. exceeded my expectations by delivering a car better than the one he was asked to find. You stayed within my price range, allowing me to stay within my budget. I look forward to returning in years to come, a customer for Life! Thanks again to Mike Grady Jr.

Our sale person Greg Smith was very attentive. Not at any time did we feel pressured into a sale or rushed. His customer service is why we returned.

We Like Thorson!

by CharQ on 09/17/2014

I scheduled a regular maintenance with Joe P. and also brought the recall notice that I received in the mail. He was able to tell me that I would receive another notice when the part came in and it was also noted in the car's records. Always excellent service from Joe. He is the reason we go to Thorson to service our cars.
