Great job all around and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again!

Best service!

Excellant experience at Bannister GM Vernon, Bradley didn't try to force a sale but facilitated my purchase, ensuring that I kept within the budget that I had set but getting one that met all my needs. Also, Kim in the finance department made the process transparent so I knew exactly what I was paying for and there were no hidden surprise costs. The paperwork took less than an hour to go through and I was out of the door in my new truck.A quick word about pricing. I ended up with a brand new truck on finance so low it made my monthly payments cheaper than if I financed a used vehicle elsewhere even if the truck was $20k cheaper but with 68k of kilometres on the clock.

I didn’t just look at GMCs trucks with this purchase. I seriously looked at Ford and Dodge; but, Bannisters was so incredible to deal with in all aspects of the purchase that I couldn’t pass up the deal. Weeks later, I’m still ecstatic about my new truck and where it has already taken me.

Amazing experience at Vernon Bannister! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a car or truck. Patrick Dew went above and beyond to make sure we walked away happy. Thank again guys!!!

Loved the shopping experience here. And the service! Great bunch of people making sure they have a very satisfied customer! Thanks guys!

Mickey and john helped me, both are very kind and professional. They make the process really easy.

I bought my daughter a car from this bannister location and had a very positive experience.I highly recommend bannister !!! Great dealership and great people!!I'm sure I'll be back !!!

Bought two vehicles from Brad Nakucyj at Vernon Bannister and we are very happy with the product and service. B

I purchased a new truck from Jesse and the experience was great he was very accommodating and worked to get me the vehicle I wanted

Another excellent experience @ Bannister in Vernon. Barry Shaw and John hold down the key customer service positions in the service area for the dealership. Both are highly experienced, knowledgeable and competent. Yesterday’s experience with Barry was bullet-proof, as usual. My car was returned to me with the problem remedied.in short order. Barry was on the phone with me with updates, etc. It is clear that Bannister’s (Vernon) mantra is “Customer Service…Job One!”

Great service. Super friendly and fast. They even called us and let us know our kids left toys in the curtasy vehicle, which was pretty funnyHighly recommend

My salesman Bradley was great to deal with and extremely helpful. This is the second vehicle I purchased from this location and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I would also Ike to thank Barry from the service department for his care and excellent customer service.

Always feel taken care of here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, work is performed in a timely matter and always quality!

Getting parts here is a pleasure. Adam is terrific here.

Despite not actually buying a car from GM (I’m a diehard manual driver), Jon was fantastic to deal with. He never made me feel pressured, was kind, and friendly to work with.

I honestly don’t know where to begin with how positive my experience was with buying a new truck from Bannister. I have a background in sales and also knew exactly what I wanted (not the easiest) had called 5 or 6 different dealers to find the truck and even got numbers (grossly inflated) from one. I was put in touch with Bradley and unfortunately they didn’t have the truck I wanted. He took my info and said to leave it with him, by 8am the next day he had tracked down the exact truck I wanted and had extremely good numbers ready to go. Kim in the finance office was an absolute dream, efficient, charming and made the entire financing process seamless and transparent.I flew in from the island and they had a driver waiting to take me to the dealer. I was on the road back to the island in under an hour including insurance and Bradley setting everything in the truck up for me because they knew I had a long drive. This was by far the smoothest new vehicle purchase I’ve ever had, I highly recommend going here. Don’t let being from out of town deter you!

My Fiancé and I went into this dealership not knowing exactly what we wanted for our second vehicle. We knew of some options we might be interested in but were still very undecided. Bradley immediately greeted us with a large smile and friendly attitude. He listened to our requests and walked us around the lot to see if anything caught our eye. He was extremly professional and never once made us feel pressured or rushed.He was extremely patient with all of our questions and concerns. We spent most of the morning there looking at and testing out different vehicles we might like. He was there answering all of our questions and had no problem letting us look at each one even if it was just a change of colour. He even offered us several bottles of cold water through the whole process which was lovely during the 36 degree weather we had that day. We eventually decided on the 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT. We have had the vehicle for about 2 weeks now and are very pleased all around with our experience both at the dealership and with our vehicle choice. We will be back in the future when it comes time to trade in our other vehicle.

The quality and service of Bannisters is top notch! Thank you Robert and Kim for your knowledge and expertise through the entire car buying process. I am so in love with my new ride and it’s all thanks to you! 100/10 will be recommending to everyone

Friendly people who go out of their way to help you with almost anything

Took my Dad's car in for an oil change. The fellow was kind and the vehicle done quicker than the time he told me to return at.

Bought an Equinox EV in 2024 and a Silverado in 2023 from Patrick Dew. Excellent service from both Theresa and Patrick. They made a usually tedious process smooth and easy for us. Would highly recommend working with Patrick for anyone looking for an easy car-buying experience.

I have personally had the last three decades of experience;myself,my family,my friends,with fair, reliable, and trustworthy deals with Rob!I have nothing but full confidence in Rob's integrity, honesty, fairness, and determination to help me, my family, and my friends get vehicles that have worked for our needs.Rob's efforts are tireless, and I've never met a salesman I trusted more, or a salesman who genuinely put so much extra effort in to making sure we got a fair deal, and reliable follow up service!I highly recommend talking to Rob at Bannister GM.Thank you Rob for your solid support to me, my friends, and family over the past 3 decades!🙏 — at Bannister GM Vernon.

Mark R. was a pleasure to deal with in sales. No pressure and went above and beyond in more than one instance for us in our purchase. Knowledgeable and personable, he’s a gentleman we’ll be glad to deal with in the future.

We were traveling from Alberta when my engine light came on my Buick Encore in Golden on July 1. Went into Bannister early Tuesday morning where Barry talked to me put the computer on discovered the problem and found the part. They took our car in immediately and in no time has us on the road to finish our 3 week trip. Excellent service and care. Thank-you Barry and everyone involved.

I worked with Dennis for almost nine weeks to find the right truck for my needs and during that time his motivation never faltered, his understanding of my needs never wavered, and his integrity was proven time and time again as I grew more and more particular and fastidious about the vehicle I wanted to buy. High pressure sales was never a tactic he employed, as he just seems to get what the average person walking onto the lot needs to experience in the purchase of a new vehicle. And while ultimately I was not able to purchase a truck from him after all this time, he has far more than earned my future business and recommendations to friends and family. If Dennis is any indicator as to the integrity of Bannister GM Vernon's business ethics and conduct they will be seeing me for a long time to come. Thank-you for all your hard work, my friend. Truly.

Very good service

Huge thank you to Bradley and everyone on the financing side of things who were an incredible help with getting me out of a sticky lease situation. Unlike the typical dealership experience, I never once felt rushed, pressured, or stressed during my visit with them. I felt welcomed and at ease the second I was greeted at the door. Bradley has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and while dealing with all the confusion of getting out of my previous lease, and continued to provide answers to any questions I had, even weeks after I drove away with my new car. Again, thank you so much to everyone who helped me, I will definitely be back in the future and I LOVE my Trax!

Bradley and his financing team were absolutely amazing in getting my daughter out of a horrible nightmare leasing experience with Kamloops Kia and into her first purchase of her brand new Chevy Trax. I’m so thankful for their hard work and dedication to helping her. She’s sooo happy with her new ride. Thank you Bradley and Team. Absolutely amazing highly recommend this dealership.

I purchased a new Buick Encore on the weekend from Jonathon Hamman. It was a great experience!! My husband and I came in and explained to him what I was looking for, my price range, my monthly payment price range and he made it work without any pressure!! Very happy with my experience and love my car!!! Will recommend to friends.

We purchased a truck on Friday. We had the best experience ever purchasing a vehicle. Brad initially took care of us, showing us and getting us a deal. Great guy to deal with. Unfortunately he couldn't be there the day we did the paperwork so Mark looked after us and he fantastic. Wonderful person all around, showed us everything and got us completely set up before we left. Kim worked out financing and she was a rock star. Very efficient and met all our needs, covered everything. They had an insurance person already there (Brianna from Johnson and Meyer) and she was also very sweet and efficient. The entire experience blew our minds. Customer service, efficiency, professionalism, I would very highly recommend anyone purchase a vehicle from this dealership. 5 stars, two thumbs up. Great job.

Had a great experience buying my new 2024 Trax thank you Jesse Crow

Awesome truck very happy with it. Very good service been dealing with bannisters for many many years always very helpful

Patrick Dew - professional, personable, honest. Patrick made the vehicle order/wait/delivery process a breeze. I can highly recommend Patrick to anyone seeking a GM product.

My wife and i recently purchased a suv from Patrick Dew and I have been to a lot of dealerships and I must say that Patrick gave us the best experience possible he was very polite ( we had a lot of questions) and answered everyone of them and always picked up the phone when we called. There were a few minor issues with the suv when we got it as it was used and he handled it very fast. I can’t say enough good things and we will be definitely dealing with Patrick again when the time comes for the next one.

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Johnathan at Banister GM in Vernon for being so great to work with during the process of buying my new Blazer!! He was so friendly, informative, understanding and made it such a good experience for me! I love my car so much!! Thank you for helping us make it happen 🤩

Great people to deal with.

Had an amazing experience, super friendly staff, quick and professional with no pressure, found us the perfect vehicle. Definitely went above and beyond for us, Highly recommend a visit here.

Had an unexpected trade in today.But it was the BEST experience I have ever had with a dealership!!! My husband and I didn't feel pressured into anything. Took a vehicle for a test drive and felt the way it handled the road. So I traded my tacoma for a ford escape and absolutely love everything about it. Thank you, Jon ( I can't remember the last name)

Dennis made the process of purchasing my vehicle comfortable and pleasant. He was respectful and polite, and seemed to genuinely want to get me the price that I wanted. I feel grateful to Dennis for all of his help and I'm very happy in our new vehicle.

I’ve been keeping an eye out on trucks for about a year now. I’ve tire kicked at numerous different dealerships of many different brands (Toyota, Chevy, GMC etc). I was in Vernon for my kids sporting event and had a couple hours to tire kick/test drive at Vernon Bannister. The salesman that I lucked out getting was Jonathon Hamman. I cannot say enough good things about Jon. He was very informative, knowledgeable, and most importantly to me, he was professional and did not over pressure me. He was very respectful and mindful to the purchasing process. Over some very productive negotiations we were able to come to a price and agreement that I found to be very fair for both sides! Yes there are numerous dealerships in kelowna, but I was treated much better in by Jon at Vernon Bannister GM.It’s worth the drive, lots of variety on their lot, good people in the sales centre. Go see Jon for great truck buying experience!

Bannister GM does a great job of keeping my car working well, with efficient, friendly service.
