An excellent customer-directed experience in purchasing a new vehicle that we have experienced in quite some time. The process was extremely smooth, informative and efficient. Jeff Harvey, Chris Blades and The Entire Kent County Motors family were very accommodating in making sure that we were satisfied with our purchase. It was refreshing to work with a group of people who truly believe in their product and want you to be satisfied with your purchase. The Whitby family has been serving the area for many years and hoping for many more. We will definitely be back for our next vehicle purchase and would recommend the dealership to anyone looking for a non-stressful vehicle-buying experience with the most knowledgeable, personable and professional team.

I ordered a new truck in December 2021.
I ordered a new truck in December 2021. After all the delays and constraints, I finally took delivery in June 2022. Without going into further details, Jeff kept me posted every step of the way. I'm sure he got tired of my endless texts and phone calls but was always patient. He explained everything each step of the way including the delivery process. I got everything I wanted in the end and it was worth the wait. I can't thank everyone enough at the dealership for always being courteous and knowledgeable. Special thanks as well to Jay Whitby and Shawn Wallace. These three gentlemen made sure I was happy. Anyone looking for a vehicle, go see them! Thanks again. I love my new Sierra!

This is the first time I have had such a positive experience with a car dealership. The sales staff is knowledgeable about their products. I was able to tell Shawn exactly what I wanted in the car itself and the financing I required. I had a good selection of vehicles to choose from, in my price range. Shawn was able to discuss each one in detail so I was able to pick the best one for me. The finance dept was able to get me the best deal with the applicable rebates and financing. There was no pressure from anyone, only help and suggestions I will definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family

I was looking for a specific GMC Sierra 2500 and Kent County had it. I live over an 1 1/2hrs away so I contacted Kent by phone. I spoke to Rodney Nickles who did a terrific job. After a normal back and forth negotiation we came to a deal. I traveled to Kent County the next day. Upon arrival Rodney was expecting me and had the truck already cleaned up and ready to go. I needed a front license plate bracket installed on the truck because my state requires if which Rodney took care of right away. The finance person Shawn was great also, explained everything I asked and didn't try to sell me unnecessary extras like some other dealers I've delt with. In a world where smaller independent dealers are being gobbled up by big companies it was nice to deal with a local company like Kent County, please stay just the way you are. Great job guys! I will definitely be back for my next vehicle purchase. Thanks again Chris H from Baltimore.

!HANDS DOWN BEST DEALER EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD! I
!HANDS DOWN BEST DEALER EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD! I went on their lot looking at a vehicle they had available after getting some ideas on my trade pricing etc. Rodney came out and greeted me right on the lot and allowed me to take a test drive in the vehicle to see how I liked it. While I was out on the test drive, they evaluated my trade. After working some numbers and some negotiation I came in and made the purchase. For me, the entire process on the day of purchasing only took around 55 minutes in the door and out. Rodney did all the foot work before I was there to make the physical process at the dealer quick and painless. The other dealer I was originally working with is where I purchased my trade. They were not nearly as competitive as Kent Co Motors was willing and able to be on my trade and were not as accommodating. The only thing I am waiting on now is a check for my trade, which is expected sometime next week! I am completely satisfied with this purchase and how helpful Rodney was through the whole process! Ill definitely be referring people to Kent Co Motors! On another note, there is a review on here regarding some situation with Rodney and a customer who must not have been too thrilled. I think looking at all of his great reviews, it should speak for itself that the poor review on here is directly an issue that customer had, and does not represent Rodney in anyway. Considering the customer thought they were going to end up "in police handcuffs", I would definitely say this issue was not without customer fault. All of that said, I encourage you to go to KENT CO MOTORS and see Rodney for all your vehicle purchasing needs!

I have been sick and have been unable to contact the dealership. After I left on my control panel there was a message about my tire control and to the left was a sensor icon on. I also had my tires rotated there at the dealership. I have checked my tire pressures, all are about 35psi . On the menu , the back right sensor isn’t reading. I clear it but it’s a problem as it comes on every time when the truck gets turned off, the sensor icon remains on . I had NO issues before I had it serviced and the tires rotated. I would like this resolved.

I must write a negative review to Mr.
I must write a negative review to Mr. Humphries as his lack of professionalism, and the way he spoke to me today and handle my purchase. I visited the store and was well impressed by salesperson. I bought a 2021 Jeep Cherokee and two days later felt I should drive a new Terrain instead paying (35,000 thousand for price and extended warranty financed together). Mr. Humphries told me I will lose $2500. I asked questions about how many kinds of Terrain are out there, he answered two. Obviously, I can do research on my own. My expectations as a female Hispanic heritage teacher are to be treated with the same respect than a man or any other customer. Secondly, if I am not happy with the car I just bought because a hear a noise inside and do not want to have issues. Customer happiness is always a win; why punish me when I am concern with a noise and wants peace of mind. He mentioned that any car can have noises. I told him that I will look into a different GMC Dealer because he is not helping...... he moved his head as "don't care". I can't recommend a place where administrators forget we deserved better. I rather pay $34,000 for a new car than paying $35,000 for a used car with extended warranty. I was sick with a bad cold when I made the purchase, desperate because I had a rental and need a car, didn't chose right. I went back next day and cancelled the whole extra warranty!
