Customer Testimonials
Found a really fair deal on a 2yr old preowned Tesla. It was the right car at the right price, and Trevor Picotte, my sales person made everything super easy. Emily their finance manager was able to secure a rate 2% lower than my credit union for the same term. The whole experience couldn’t have been easier.
I had a great experience at Michael Bates Chevrolet working with Trevor Picotte on my first big vehicle purchase. Trevor made the entire process smooth and easy from the test drive all the way through purchasing the vehicle. I definitely recommend visiting Trevor at Michael Bates Chevrolet if you’re looking for a new vehicle and a great buying experience!
This was the fastest vehicle purchase I’ve ever encountered! Trevor and Tyrone were an amazing team and I’d definitely work with them again at Michael Bates Auto

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Martin twice now, first when I leased a Silverado 1500 in July 2025, and most recently when I purchased a Trailblazer in February 2026. From start to finish, Martin made both experiences smooth, easy, and genuinely enjoyable.
I’ve had my share of negative experiences with other dealerships in the past, being misled, feeling pressured, and even encountering bait-and-switch tactics. That’s what makes Martin stand out. He is completely upfront, honest, and transparent. He never pressures you or tries to rush you into a decision. Instead, he takes the time to explain your options, ... Read More

I have been a loyal customer at Michael Bates since they opened. I have not had any issues until one of my vehicles broke down and I had it towed in. They had my car for 2 weeks at which point I chose to tow it away to be serviced elsewhere. My disappointment lies in their lack of kind communication and inability to take responsibility when at fault or even just listen to the paying customer. I had to call multiple times to get answers. They always called back but with very limited information. It took days on end to get ... Read More

Your price for oil change is way to high, Let’s take my Ford in for an oil change. They always wash the vehicle before they give it back. You don’t do that for those reasons I won’t be coming back.
Kelly made the whole process easy. She found the perfect vehicle with in our budget ! I will be sending all of my friends to her.
My sales person, Justin Hartman displayed a high level of professionalism which was exemplified in his attention to detail, timely execution, and his easy going no rush approach to the purchase of my vehicle.

The service person that I dealt with was very rude... He was short with his answers and a snobby disposition. I had appt for 2pm.. I didn't get my vehicle back until 3:40 pm. There for just an oil change. I usually don't mind the wait time but Tyler's attitude just didn't bold well with me..
So I go out to his desk and pay him. We say our goodbyes, I tell him happy new year and walk away..
When I went to my truck the keys were not in there, so as I'm walking back ... Read More

Dennis Valentine and team were awesome!!! Everything worked out well, my daughter loves her car.
I took my car in to get some bodywork done and they didn’t do a couple of things on the vehicle to make it look original like not painting the mirrors that I asked them to do and fixing a scratch below the molding on driver side door, which I asked them to fix as far as the service work done on the engine they fixed that from what I could tell, I was unable to test drive it because they needed to take the car back and get the bodywork finished. I would give a better review if ... Read More

Wonderful service! Nathan in service department was very helpful and very polite. Very quick service
I was scammed by their service department. I had a safety airbag problem that I brought my truck in for. I had hooked up my own OBDII scanner before taking it there. I was hoping to find a code for the safety airbag but I found nothing, nothing at all. When we drove it to Michael Bates the dashboard was clean of any problems, no check engine, nothing. When my wife arrived and pulled into the service bay they plugged in a device to the truck and the check engine light magically turned on and they recorded some random code. ... Read More
