I highly recommend Desert Sun Motors for service and for purchasing a vehicle. I worked with Becky when my car broke down while out of town and she went out of her way to provide excellent customer service and truly work to find ways to help me in my unfortunate situation. Whatever they pay Becky, it’s not enough. The rest of the employees were all very friendly and professional as well. Despite them being 3 hours away, the next time I am considering purchasing a GM vehicle I will make the trip to Alamogordo to work with them!
Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I will always buy GM vehicles because of that alone. It is hard to find good help and they get the job done.
Do not base your opinion about the entire dealership on what I am telling you about my most recent experience. Everyone including the owner and especially Ms. Tess who is so sweet and caring, have been the greatest people to work with (except for my most recent sales rep)and I have purchased a car from them back in 2018. The most recent experience I have had is My sales representative told me that deposits are non refundable even after I have been waiting 99 days for a Truck that was (built on Feb 24, 2021, Per GM Customer Relations specialist) This same sales representative told me when I put the deposit down that the truck should be here in a couple of weeks but regardless the next blue truck that comes in is mine. That blue truck came in and guess what, it went to another customer and another sales representative. Lies after lies from her. She kept telling me the truck was in transit also. If you go to the GM website, you can see what trucks are in transit and to what dealership. This truck has never been in transit to anywhere. She even told me again the truck was in transit just recently and it is not. GM Customer representative told me on the phone 31 July, that truck was still sitting in the same place they parked it back in Feb. Other GM dealerships in NM and TX have gotten at least a dozen trucks since I ordered mine 99 days ago and two dealerships have gotten close to 30 each. Thanks to Ms. Tess, I did get my deposit back contrary to what my sales rep tried to convince me of. I dont think my sales rep did the order correctly from the beginning.
Had a great buying experience at this establishment. Had trouble finding a specific truck and once one became available they immediately called me. I live out of town and made the drive to purchase with them. Evan Ross in the sales department was nothing less than exceptional during the entire process. Their entire team did a great job from sales, finance and delivery. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel like they appreciated our business. I would definitely purchase another vehicle from them in the future. Thanks Desert Sun for getting us our new AT4!
The service girl was very professional and helpful. We also met the mechanic who was very informative.
First time buying a truck. I had a wonderful experience! I would recommend to others! 😃
I just traded in my vehicle for a new Chevy Equinox and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Fernando was amazing and very helpful from start to finish and I’m glad he was the one helping me out. He was answering every question I had and knew information about all the vehicles I test drove! Very very happy with my decision and the great salesmanship of Fernando! You must go here and experience how great he and the rest of the staff is!
I had a wonderful experience. Billy French helped me get in touch with a wonderful salesman named Lawrence Chavez. Lawrence listened to my needs and made sure I got what I was looking for. I am very thankful that I had a wonderful experience thanks to Lawrence. I am very satisfied with my new vehicle!
Went to Desert Sun to get service on my Chevy Equinox. Becky Garcia is amazing and helpful. She told me the rundown on my vehicle in a way I could understand. Very good customer service! 10 stars for Becky! :)Thanks Guys
My initial plan was to test drive the vehicle and then order from Carvana or similar company. But from the start, Emily was very professional, displayed knowledge of the vehicle, and gained my confidence and trust. Dakota was also great working on the financing. I would recommend Desert Sun without hesitation.
The dealership was well kept! Sales staff are awesome!!! I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a great deal and friendly people!
Had got a GREAT DEAL and GREAT EXPERIENCE from Scott White from Chevrolet Dealership. Purchased a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek for a reasonable price. He will really work with you and is understanding with what you want in a vehicle.
Fiancée went in for an oil change and they didn’t do their routine check, cabin air filter was dirty and nothing under the hood was checked. Didn’t even tell her it was dirty. dipstick showed half and wasn’t even to the right oil capacity. Takes it back and they just try to prove her wrong. When clearly it wasn’t the way it was before. Service department isn’t very great at all, put me on hold for like 10 minutes when i try to contact them back about the situation. Stressful time dealing with these folks.
I found everyone here great to work with. We we havent reached a deal yet but Im confident we will.
We purchased a 2020 HD $80,000 truck!! from Desert Sun in Alamogordo Sep 2020 the truck is 10 months old. the truck currently siting in Las Lunas NM at a dealership broken . My husband works out of town so he is left stranded the dealership is unable to get the truck back to Alamogordo. I was told so sorry nothing we can do about your broken truck..... ???? by service department in Alamogordo. I give them zero stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping i can get a response from the service manager.......... still waiting
The staff at Desert Sun was fantastic! Fernando was so easy to work with and personable! They got me into exactly what I wanted and needed!I will definitely be going back!
Purchased a used truck 2 months ago. Trailer lights wouldnt work. Service write said I would have to pay to diagnose. I refuse to pay to have you look at a truck with 14k miles. Finally test it herself, it is bad. Replaces the 7 way plug, fixed problem. While clearing the fault in the computer somehow make the trailering app freeze. No one knows how to work on modern computer systems. Finally I Google and tell them how to make it work. The only reason I go is because there are no other options in Alamogordo. Seems like they have no loyalty towards the customer after spending $64k.
I have purchased vehicles in the past and it has always been a process that I am not looking forward to. I have to say, that my experience with Fernando Vasquez from Dessert Sun Motors was outstanding. He made the purchase easy, quick and was transparent and helpful from the very beginning. The whole car buying experience with Desert Sun was top notch. They gave me a great price and stuck with that offer, they did not try and force me into purchasing any additional products, services or dealer installed options. The whole Desert Sun Team works together to expedite the purchase even when doing the process from the comfort of your own home, such as was the case with me. Fernando even delivered the vehicle to me. Thank you Fernando and the whole Desert Sun Team. If the service after the sale is this good, it will complete and solidify the remarkable experience!
The staff at Desert Sun did a phenomenal job from start to finish. Bruce Cole and Fernando Vasquez helped me to get through the order and delivery processes smoothly. Dakota Bednarcyk likewise did an excellent job in the finance/payment process and was 100% transparent with options and advice on ways to think about the options in my decision-making process. Anthony, the lot attendant, was the one to pick me up and take me over to the dealership for delivery and was an excellent reflection of the teams professionalism.
Bought my wife a new Yukon Denali . The salesman - Scott White, was excellent throughout the whole process . Highly recommend working with him . Dakota and Eric were also great and made the whole process quick and easy .
It was a pleasure working with Chris wilke. I’ve never had such a smooth and easy buying experience! He was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and didn’t give me the run around! I will definitely recommend Chris and desert sun to all my friends and family! Thanks guys!
Emily did an outstanding job with explaining everything and being very patient with me. Definitely will be working with her again.
Thanks to the GM specialty warranty i didnt have to pay a dime for a high costing repair. Granted it was a project that took all day(not complaining. Totally get some repairs take time.) i got my car back same day. The best part the car drives like its brand newThanks guys you really save the day!!
I recently bought a 2021 Chevy Malibu from Desert Sun Motors with the sales consultant Evan Ross! He was awesome and was able to track the car I wanted and get it here within one day! The whole process took two days! Great experience!
Fernando was a nice knowledgeable no nonsense salesman only thing he didn’t do was buy me dinner and flowers lol great guy
Always have a great buying experience with these guys!
Couldn’t have been more pleased with my salesman Bruce Cole! Exceptional attention to detail in what I was looking for. Went above and beyond my expectation of a normal “salesman”. Bruce Cole has set the standard high in my book! He was not pushy, not cocky, he just was not ur normal car salesman and I’m truly thankful that my buying experience was excellent!! Your staff was truly welcoming and it didn’t just feel routine or rehearsed when they welcomed u! From start to finish...PERFECT!!
I stopped in after seeing a red GMC Canyon crew cab on the lot. Fernando Vasquez came out and asked if I had any questions, my wife was still in our car. I started asking about the Canyon and my wife said she really didnt care for the color... She found a Silverado 1500 RST a few vehicles down the row. It was also red but it is the Cajun Red Tintcoat. Fernando answered all our questions, never once pressured us in any way. He thoroughly explained all the features and the available rebates. A few days later we picked it up!
The TEAM at Desert Sun Chevrolet, GREATEST new car buying experience I’ve had. Every sales service member all the way up to the Manger. And I emphasize, friendly-fast-well working, finely tuned TEAM. In and out, keys in hand in less than 2 hours.
I recently bought a vehicle from Fernando Vasquez at Desert Sun Motors. I began trying out a vehicle that just didnt quite fit my familys needs and Fernando was very helpful about helping me find exactly what was best for us. I will always be going to them for my vehicle needs.
Nice People and they help you out
I had a bad experience with a Chevrolet dealership in El Paso and to be more specific the salesman helping me was not knowledgeable in their product (Silverado 1500) which immediately tells me this guy is bs’ing me. After searching the inventory in the immediate and surrounding area I decided to take the 90 min drive to Desert Sun Motors and look at a 2020 Silverado 1500 that I was interested in. This was the best decision made as I was informed of all that the truck offers as part of the test drive. I spoke to a gentleman named Lawrence and any and all questions were answered without hesitation. His knowledge of the product was spot on which as a sign of a true professional. I recommend Desert Sun Motors and highly encourage you to speak to Lawrence for accurate and truthful information.
Ive been working with Lawrence since probably June. I had told him what I was looking for and with that he set out to find it. Didnt try to push anything else on me and got me exactly what I was looking for. Everything was extremely fast and easy. The customer service throughout all departments I dealt with was also painless. I highly recommend going through Desert Sun Motors for a quick and easy experience.
I recently purchased a used certified vehicle from the dealership and Fernando Vasquez was the salesman. He provided excellent customer service; was knowledgeable about the vehicle and warranty coverage; was courteous, patient and not pushy. And other staff that I met there were likewise customer service oriented. I would recommend you talk with Fernando and this dealership if you have interest in a new or used vehicle.
This dealership sold my 82 yo uncle FIVE cars in a 12 month period. One of the cars price was more than his house mortgage. There is no way they could have run credit reports because his monthly expenses were significantly more than his fixed income. The last car was financed at 8.9% interest. They took advantage of an older man with memory loss.
Out of all the past experiences ive had with other dealerships, this has by far been the best! Lawrence wasnt pushy and looked to see what the best deal was that he could get for us. He stayed within the vehicle price range and style that we were looking for. If im still stationed here when it comes time to purchase another vehicle, ill definitely be going back to him!
LOF done and tires rotated in under a hour ... they are getting better.
Nothing bad to say. I’d recommend Will for a salesperson, he was a cutie(I was so mean to him too and he was chil). Love the finance manager Tessie and the main manager Bill was a pretty chill dude too.You’re probably not gonna get a deal from this place because it’s the main game in town, but it doesn’t hurt to try—and honestly after driving around El Paso and Las Cruces looking for a car I was so over it anyway.My car got me through a snow storm today, it’s for AWD and it was the only used challenger with AWD in New Mexico.Super pleased. 😍
Great hometown dealership! Fantastic customer service.
Lance was our salesperson. We bought a GMC truck with way too many bells and whistles on it. He was so patient and knowledgeable with us. I don’t recall buying a new vehicle that ended up being such an enjoyable experience. Thanks to Lance and the rest of the employees at Desert Sun. We are loving our new truck.
Waited almost 3 hours for an oil change and tire rotation. Then my truck was left in the parking lot locked with the back windows down and covered with greasy fingerprints. I take my GMC to the dealership for a reason, beginning to wonder how professional they are anymore....
My family and I had been looking for a new truck and with the help from Lawrence we found just that. He was very knowledgeable, answered any and all questions we had, was not pushy like most dealerships, and was courteous and polite!We Recommend Desert Sun to anyone looking for the right vehicle, ask for Lawrence!
Moved here from Denver.Wow what a difference.Small friendly,not a huge selection.But with this economy it is expected.
Becky in service helped out.Did a very good job.She is a real assit to Desert Sun Mortors
Went to Desert Sun Motors in Alamogordo. Worked with Lawrence this past weekend with my son. It was his first time getting a vehicle on his own. Lawrence was very helpful and knowledgeable even during this Pandemic situation. I would recommend Desert Sun Motors and Lawrence to help you in a new vehicle 👍
I purchased a new Chevy Spark at Desert Sun this past Saturday and the entire transaction, beginning to end, could not have been easier or gone more smoothly. Eddie, my sales consultant, was able to answer every question I had about the car and provided information about several things I hadnt thought to ask about -- all without any kind of pressure or up-selling, which I really appreciated. Id arranged for a vehicle loan before coming to the dealership, but Tessie, the finance officer handling the sale, helped me take advantage of a lower interest rate that was being offered. And Eric, a CTE specialist, helped me set up my OnStar trial and walked me through all of the electronic bells and whistles that were new to me with the Spark. I would recommend Desert Sun to anyone looking for a vehicle.
We purchased a Buick Envision 4 days ago after 5 pm. Lawrence was so patient with our questions. He answered each question thoroughly and I drove home around 7 pm with a new car. He knows his stuff. I dropped by the dealership yesterday to have the protectant put on and I was treated with great respect and everyone was working quickly and efficiently. We bought a Silverado from Desert Sun in 2011 so felt confident about doing business with them again and they proved themselves again.
Outstanding customer service and maintenance at the Service Dept. We recently moved to Alabama where the contrast was significant. At an Alabama Chevy dealership, I had to wait 3 hours for a shuttle compared to Desert Sun’s 4 minute wait time. Desert Sun does a great job at responding quickly and Garrett has always been courteous and respectful. I have moved to CO and am tempted to drive to Alamogordo for standard maintenance, that is how much I trust the Service Dept at Desert Sun. Thank you and I will continue to recommend you to friends, family, and anyone in the area.
You have a very courteous and friendly shuttle service driver.
Clean friendly facility
Very courteous and professional, knowledgeable and attentive...they did a great job.
My wife and I had a great car buying experience at Desert Sun! We spotted what we wanted online and had to feel confident to make the trip from Albuquerque, but it was all worth it. Bruce Cole was a pleasure to work with and helped us step by step, and despite the distance helped us to feel secure with our decision. A true professional and easily the best salesman I have worked with. He went above and beyond! Tessi in finance was wonderful as well and helped to make the details plain and simple. And to complete the great experience, Erick, the delivery specialist, walked us through all the technical aspects of the car, including helping to set up bluetooth. I would recommend these folks to anyone, including my Albuquerque family and friends.
The salesman Lawerance was the best. I asked him to look for a certain truck for me and over two months he found it. Awesome to work with!!! 5 starts
Went to find a part fer my truck, but the guy i spoke to said they didnt make that part anymore. They was rude and when they did find what i was looking for, on top of it all they wanted to charge me three hundred for a part i can get online for $120
Best experience ever!The dealer personally helped me and made it an absolute pleasure!
Thank you Brandon & Reno for your professionalism & kindness. Our Toyota family is complete!
Lawrence did an amazing job at helping me find the perfect truck! 10/10 recommend if you are in search of your vehicle.
Always excellent service
Have been great to deal with. Good people.
Excellent service!
My wife and I located the GMC truck we were looking for at Desert Sun via the internet. We sent an email to the Dealership letting them know we would like to take a test drive if that vehicle were still available for sale, the new car sales person immediately telephoned me and we set up a day and time to do our test drive. When we arrive at the dealership we were assigned Sales person Lawrence Chavez who is extremely knowledgeable of the vehicle, is very courteous, and knows the process necessary to complete a sale. We had a very pleasant experience working with Lawrence as well as all other Desert Sun Personnel. Our thank you to all involved and especially to Lawrence. We will recommend Lawrence to all our friends and family to ask for him when they are looking for a new vehicle.
I had an amazing experience.
Excellent service and professional staff. Second to none!
Nice selection of vehicles, very friendly and helpful staff
Loved the experience we received from Desert Sun Motors! All staff are friendly and helpful! Our experience started with Billy French who replies quickly and answers all questions he can completely and honestly. We purchased a 2017 Chevy Tahoe and we can’t be any happier! 😁 Ryan Taylor, aka Country, is a very honest and relatable salesman and we enjoyed our experience with him at Desert Sun overall. We will definitely be repeat customers! 😃
Absolutely great service highly recommend going to buy a car at desert sun motors in Alamogordo New Mexico Be sure to check out with Lawrence Chavez
No commit
They treat you like family. If there is anything wrong they will fix. They sell quality vehicles and treat you with respect.
Bought a GMC Sierra AT4. Emily was awesome! Got a great truck and an excellent deal. Thanks.
The service department is excellent! My tie-rod broke in the mountains and they fixed it promptly and at a fair price. In addition, I live in El Paso and was not able to pick up the vehicle for almost two weeks. They were kind enough to store it for that time and even washed it without charge. Everyone I worked with was highly professional. I’ll go out of my way to have vehicle service done here again in the future.
Emily got a deal done for us that I honestly couldnt get done anywhere else. She was super sincere and very honest with all of the numbers which made it that much easier to get a deal done!
Lawrence Chavez was one of the best salesman I have ever worked with, he made sure I loved my new car. It was a fast and easy process, thank you Desert Sun and Lawrence. I had a great time and I love my new Terrain!!
I had a great experience with Lawrence Chavez at Desert Sun Motors....he is a wonderful salesman! Lawrence is knowledgeable, honest, kind, and informative....without putting on the pressure, which is very important to me. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and fully recommend this dealership. Thank you Lawrence and Desert Sun Motors!! I love my new truck!!
My wife and I had an absolutely pleasant experience buying a truck at Desert Sun Motors! Purchasing a vehicle during the pandemic was a bit nerve wracking but the staff at Desert Sun made the experience so easy. We felt very well taken care of from the initial online contact with Anessa, to when Chris Wilkie delivered the vehicle to the Albuquerque metro. I would absolutely recommend Desert Sun to anyone for their future vehicle purchases.
Was great customer services
Lawrence and the team at Desert Motors went more than above and beyond to meet our needs. Superior service!!
Lawrence is great very knowledgeable, we are from Ruidoso and we loved the service!
Slowest service Ive ever experienced a staff that lies and didnt take care of there paying coustermers, and a boss by the name of FreddyThat disrespects and tells lies and threatened his customer to not come back and says he will call the police if I do after I waited for eight weeks on one part. When I was told one week and was giving a little Malibu to do the work of a Duramax. Boo on your service Derset Sun Motors
Been dealing with Ryan Taylor and have nothing but good things to say about him. Has been extremely helpful and up front. Didnt feel like I wad being forced into anything and he was very patient with all my requests. Will definitely do business with him again!
Great experience with Desert suns motors.Cameron our salesman sold us an amazing truck.Just check the axle ratio in every truck your interested in because whats standard to GM is not standard to DS. So I got a truck with a lighter towing capacity then i was expecting.
Even though Dodge is now owned by Desert Sun, they still have Jack keys Mechanics. I payed $180 for them to tell me a part that doesnt exist on my vechiel is broke. I spent about 1 week with parts department for them to find the problem. Parts Department 5 stars
Great staff. Very customer friendly!
Desert Sun is the best when it comes to servicing their customers. We are very pleased with all the work they they have done to our Buick. Very satisfied with all aspects. You guys are Awesome! Thank You Desert Sun!
Excellent buying experience. Luis was informative and relaxed allowing us to make a decision with no pressure. The sales and finance department were very helpful and the overall experience was good. The service department did wonderful work fixing a few minor issues with the SUV and were highly helpful. Thank you!!
Always courteous, and great work.
Great staff! Very courteous.
Luis was amazing he helped me with all the questions and trouble I had and sat there while I spent an hour going back and forth to pick my car! He explained everything to me to where I could actually understand it worked with everything I had going on and was really sweet with my daughter he knew a lot about the car before I even got into it he also made sure it was cleaned spotless and perfect. I recommend them. I definitely recommend Luis! ☺️
Big Country was a great salesman, make sure you ask for him. Not my first new truck, but I no own my first Denali. It was one of the best buying experiences i have had.
Had a great experience with my car purchase. Fernando was an excellent and friendly sales associate. There was no pressure and the negotiations were very fair. I arrived at about 8:15 and had keys to a new car before 11:00 am (including test drive, negotiations, financing, etc). If your looking for a car, go ask for Fernando, you wont be disappointed!!If I had any critique it would be with the finance department. While the lady was very nice, it seemed a little sly on how the $2K+ warranty was presented. When it came time to sign the document regarding the interest and monthly payment she showed me the paper and said this is the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty and your monthly payment will be $XXX, sign here. I had my pen on the line to sign when I decided to ask about the warranty (as that was the first mention of it). I asked if it was included and she said no, its twenty two fifty. I said, twenty two fifty? She then clarified $2,250 (which was about 20% of the cost of the car I was buying). I never asked for a warranty and was never told about the it before it was slipped into the total cost. I chose to forgo the warranty. Im not disputing the warrantys value, just the manner which it was put in so nonchalantly with no explanation was a bit disappointing and something I could have easily signed up to without really knowing I was doing it.Dont let the second paragraph stop you from visiting though. Ive bought many cars from dealerships over the years and this was definitely the most pleasant experience Ive had and Fernando was certainly the nicest sales consultant Ive worked with. Normally, during negotiations I get the feeling the dealership is being dishonest on their positions... this was not the case at all here. We worked out a great price that both parties could live with with relative ease. Thanks again Fernando, we love our car!!!
I think me and my family have been buying cars from Desert Sun for over 20 years. Nothing but great salesmen women and beyond helpful. Always respectful and understanding of your needs.
Everyone was very professional. Ryan was very patient and accommodating and took time to answer all of our many questions.After we built our Buick Enclave and sent it to him via email he found that exact car at another dealership in El Paso TX. Within 24 hours the Enclave arrived at Desert Sun Motors in Alamogordo NM . Eric was very helpful explaining all the technical features on this beautiful car. He told us he would be available anytime to answer any more questions that we may have. We love this new Buick Enclave. It is an awesome car.ET and Pat Little
I took my truck in for service. They finished it in half the time they quoted. Which was already faster than any other dealer has serviced my truck. They were friendly and the experience was great. I wish all dealerships were like this.
Extremely satisfied with the staff and company. I went in to price vehicles, like any place I was immediately helped by a sales representative named Luis. I told him what I wanted a used chevy Colorado since it was in my price range and I need it in 3 days. Not only did he find in in 36 hours but he got a brand new 2016 in my range in less than 2 days. Too top it off 3 weeks passed by and I did not have plates yet, he recognized me downtown on the weekend and helped me that day to expedite the process. If that wasnt enough he even brought me my plates to my home so I could finish moving in. Excellent customer service, clean building, everyone was kind and congratulated on my buy. Everyone seemed to like their job and wanted to be at work.
I had a great experience. Sean and Anessa took great care of me. I am very happy with my purchase and the service I received. Would highly recommend Sean and Anessa to anyone who is interested in purchasing a new car or truck.
Jon Lucero and Jon Irick were amazing! They offered so much help and did a great job for me again!
Looking all summer for a diesel 3/4 ton 4x4 pick up. Saun Medina from Alamogordo Desert Sun gave me a call and let me know that they had the very truck I was looking for! I was not able to get away from my mountain home so Saun brought the truck to my home. The GMC was absolutely what I had been waiting for!Desert Sun then worked out a smoking deal for me that same day. My truck had been gone through their maintenance department and certified.... great job by them!My experience was from shopping to financing to the quality of my truck, was excellent.Thank y’all Desert Sun!
We first went to Desert Sun for service on an older Chevy we had. The service department treated us golden. When we decided to buy a new Chevrolet it made sense to us to return to Desert Sun to buy it. Eddie Norrell and the sales staff made buying a new car easy and exciting. First class treatment all the way!
Absolutely wonderful service! I got the most perfect car for my needs and everything was taken care of! They set up everything including apps, bluetooth, onstar, and my car insurance! So very very happy!
