I usually don't write reviews but I felt I needed to call out Mamie and Billy from this store. Both of them are so patient and kind and too the point. I don't feel like I was being swindled or tricked. They gave me and my dad a real solid price on a used F150. Most places you go to have the sales guy going back and forth to the "Talk to the Manager" every time you disagree with their price or threaten to walk away. But not these guys. Honest and straightforward and even stayed till after closing to close a deal that my dad didn't make easy for them. If your looking for a new or used car for a very fair price then don't go anywhere else. They have great reviews all around for a reason. They didn't even ask for a review but they deserve it.

Bought a truck here. It could have caused a horrible accident hurting myself or my family!!@ Prior to purchase I explained to the salesman issac the used car manager billy and the finance guy i dealt with that the front end of the truck had something wrong with it. They assured me it hasn't been through inspection yet and everything would be fixed i live over 3hrs away so I bought the truck and left. 6 days later roughly I picked up truck late at night and on the drive home the upper control arm broke almost in half causing the truck to be un drivable if it fully broke it could have ended myself or my family's live. At this time the manager Billy the gm WES or the owner FRED have offered to do absolutely nothing about it even though I even offered them to just buy the parts not pay labor or alignment just the parts I've been met with multiple people telling me different story's from we will fix it to we will not fix it. They even wrote an IOU for fixing the front end and alignment which obviously was not inspected correctly. I gave them multiple weeks to help me or give me a resolution they've done nothing to help me. Overall horrible experience with them and the lender they sent me with was even worse to get a payoff from! 30+ days truck's been sitting. This lot has no floor plan which means the owner owns everything and could easily afford to make this situation whole for context about $1,900 to fix this situation In my opinion and experience this dealership like most others value profit margins over the safety or concerns of there customers! I will attempt to attach a photo of the damage for proof. Multiple red flags from rude sales members to stuck up attitudes should have made me change my mind and leave before we got to this point. Don't make the same mistake I did and make sure they fix the things they said they would!

Julie and Billy did a terrific job helping me buy my first pick up. Very knowledgeable folks in Lagrange and I will be back for my next purchase. Thanks for an efficient delivery day...in and out in an hour.

Billy was great during the sale process but make sure you get the vehicle you are interested in inspected off site. After 3 months and just over 3000 miles I have a list of issues totaling a third of the price of the vehicle. In that time I have already had to have the back brakes and rotors changed and now have to do the same for the front as well as a list of other issues that should have been caught in that inspection at the time of sale according to multiple mechanics that have had to inspect my vehicle since purchase. Sale process was easy but everything since then has not been easy in the slightest. (To clarify on the response from the dealership, the check was written to cover the out of pocket expenses I paid shortly after the purchase to replace the rear brakes that were apparently overlooked during the inspection, much like the front brakes that now need to be replaced. When the only option you can offer is “how about something more expensive?” You have obviously done a poor job working with your “valued customers”. Add to the fact that the initial 1 star review was because of the dealerships inability to respond to questions about the issue for multiple days after multiple attempts to contact were made followed by an angry call made to me by someone named Karen. Bringing your customers finances into your response to a review of your shortcomings as a company is childish and a great representation of how you handle your business once you have someone’s name on paper.)

I purchased Ford Edge on 12/30/23 it was the best experience I have ever had at a cat lot. My sales person was BILLY TINSLEY he was great. He was very knowledgeable, very courteous, and gave me everything I ask for. Price wise and payment wise and I will be a return customer.

Knowledgeable, straightforward, and responsive. Billy was an excellent sales representative and worked to help us find the car we wanted and needed. We will return to Champion first thing when we need another vehicle.

I have been purchasing vehicles from Billy Tinsley for a while when he was with the Ram dealership, he has informed me he has transferred to Champion Chevrolet and I must say I am excited to be taking my business to Chevy with him! He always makes sure I am well taken care of and insures I am getting the best deal for my money. I’m happy to say my next Purchase will be at Champion Chevrolet.

Had an excellent experience with Billy Sean. He was transparent and a pleasure to work with, considering that we were out of state and did most of the business through the phone. Once we touched down in Kentucky, it was a 30 minute process and out the door. 7/7 would recommend.

Worked with Billy Sean on a remote deal for a new Colorado. Extremely helpful and seamless process. He arranged for transport to pick me up from the airport, about a half hour of finalizing paperwork and I was on my way.

We had a fantastic experience at Champion. We had been looking at Jeep Gladiators for months. We had a deal worked out with another dealer and they pulled tired old dealer tricks so we left. I saw a Gladiator at Champion we thought we wanted so I made an appointment to see it. We got there and drove it and it wasn’t what we wanted. Billy at Champion knew pretty much what we wanted after talking to us, so while we were test driving the Gladiator, he pulled out a Wrangler Moab that checked ever single box we had except the truck bed. He had it started up, with the top and windows down, ready for us to drive. We drove it and were instantly hooked. From there, Champion was excellent. There was zero pressure. There were zero dealer games. They held it for us with a small deposit, they gave us a respectable amount on our trade (which was a custom F-250 so no dealer was going to give me market) and got me out the door pretty much where I wanted to be. After we signed papers, the battery lost its life and they immediately stepped up and corrected it, which they did not have to do on a used vehicle. Every aspect of our experience was excellent and I will 100% look to them first on my next purchase.

Tony is the reason we drive from Carrollton to have any work done on any of our vehicles. The whole team goes beyond to make sure you’re completely happy! We will never go to the local Chevy dealership again! We will gladly drive 30 minutes to Champion! Billy Sean is a great asset to your team as well! We’ve purchased 2 vehicles within a month. My brother in law purchased a vehicle a day after I did! Best dealership we have ever worked with!!!!
