“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”
“ Thank You Tyler for all you did for us to put us in our new ride!! ”
