“ If you're in the market for a vehicle, I strongly recommend visiting Thorton Automotive in Dover, PA. My experience working with Tyler McGurk to find a truck was great. It's nice to visit a dealership and not be met with the high pressure sales approach. Tyler was very polite and knowledgable. I told him what i was looking for in a truck, and he found exactly what i was looking for. ”

“ I bought a beautiful F150 platinum edition from Thornton, Automotive Group and had a wonderful experience. Mike Eachus, my sales person, was great to work with. He was friendly, honest, and did not aggressively force us into a sale. It was a very comfortable experience. I believe the whole organization honestly wants to do the best for their customers and are trustworthy. That means the most when buying a used vehicle. They worked with us in the financing and we’re friendly throughout the whole process keeping our best interest in mind. I have already recommended them to two people. It’s a good place to do business on such a large purchase. ”
“ Scott S and the finance group were so flexible to get us into the car we wanted at an affordable price. For the first time in about 8 years my wife didn't have to settle and we got the car of her dreams! Thanks Scott! Thanks Finance team! Hope you found more license plate screws. This is the third vehicle we bought from them all the way back to when it was Brookside. Always reliable cars. ”

“ We started truck shopping around 2 months ago. Thornton was on our list of dealers to stop at. We went in on a weeknight, and met Tyler. Tyler was knowledgeable and knew what we were looking for. Over a few weeks we test drove multiple trucks, and finally found the one. Through the whole process, Tyler was helpful, and patient. We also spoke with Chuck and Wes, and they provided even more knowledge to us. Overall, our experience was positive. We will recommend Thornton to anyone who asks about dealers! ”
“ Very good experience. Mike was great to work with. He sold me a 2016 Chevy Silverado for a fair price. I bought a vehicle years ago when it was Brookside, still have it with no problems. I know several other people who purchased from Thornton. Would recommend Thornton if you're looking for a vehicle. ”
“ Arrived late on a Friday shortly before closing, was immediately greeted by friendly staff. Mike was our consultant for the purchase of our F150.

“ Absolutely wonderful experience with the staff at the Dover facility. They were low pressure, very informative, very helpful, and made a deal that worked for my needs. Scott, my salesman, was a top tier professional. He even sent a handwritten thank you note wishing me the very best with my new Jeep. ”
“ Russ is the Best ! , he gave me snacks while I was waiting on my uncle to get his car ! ”
“ Love it or leave it is Thornton Automotive's exchange policy and they certainly stand by that statement. I purchased a 2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn Jan 15 ,2026. I then returned it within 3 days bc I was not 100% happy. The process was easy and simply that, Love it or Leave it! Wes Myers the mgr asked me what he could do to keep me happy so, I did purchase the following week Jan 22, 2026 a 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn. The deposit I had on the 2016 was transferred to the 2019 purchase with ease. Wes also hooked me up with some extras for the new truck! Highly recommend Thornton Automotive Dover, Mgr Wes Myers, and salesman Russ Barra if you are looking for your next vehicle. ”

Sold me a car on half a tank of gas.
“ Sold me a car on half a tank of gas.. Took 3 days to complete sale. Car salesman told my wife I got you an extended warranty with saying it was over 3,800 dollars more til I seen the paperwork. I wouldn’t buy a car here again. Felt rushed out the door rather than taking the time to be informed about everything. ”
“ So it's been a few weeks and wanted to leave an honest review. So, at first the experience here buying a vehicle was pretty good. Sales guys were very nice. Ours was a little new, but he was nice. However it has gone down hill a bit. The vehicle itself has been fine, however the rest has not been. So it took weeks for them to ship my plates back and only overnighted when I contacted them again. 3 weeks of paying insurance on a trade I did not even have. Next. I should have read the paperwork better but they snuck in a monthly payment plan even though we decided on a bi-weekly to help with monthly payments. I will take a little blame, but was going off our discussions the whole time. Though I guess it all went down hill when I turned down there expensive additional coverage. Just dont see how I can buy another vehicle here. Hope this helps others. In the end they got their sale and that was it for them. ”
“ Had a great experience working with Tyler! He’s very knowledgeable and doesn’t pressure you! ”
