Jacob Reached out to me a few days ago from Heyward Allen GMC he was professional from day 1, asked for approval to text, we met a few days later and they next day he sold me my GMC truck. He was easy going, but the bully salesman, family guy and customer oriented, go see Jacob at Heyward Allen GMC..
I had a great experience buying my car from Heyward Allen GMC. The whole process was smooth and the team kept me updated every step of the way.

Working with Carl Bennet and Sean Hess was a wonderful and seemless experience when purchasing our new Yukon. Curt communicated quickly every time and was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Heyward Allen GMC in Athens.
Purchased a new Acadia from Curt Bennett and come to find out we went to elementary school over 50 years ago.His attention to detail is the main reason I chose this automobile.I hope he will be around for us to have a lasting long term relationship with all our fleet of vehicles.
Great customer service by the receptionist. I understand the”numbers “ and why I usually stay away from dealerships. I’m just another number passing through, GM pays them trash on warranty work, and the list goes on. Do my own service work, unless warranty work is required. Have to schedule a second appointment for what should’ve been taken care of in a single visit. You never get your time back and it’s priceless.
Great experience @ Heyward Allen. Curt was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I will continue to do business with Heyward Allen.
Kaz was excellent along with the staff.

Best experience ever DERRICK COMPTON was the ABSOLUTE BEST
Julio and Anthony were amazing to work with through the car buying process. My husband and I never felt pressured to purchase when we were looking on the lot, however, Julio was super attentive when we had questions about specific vehicles. He was super friendly and very personable throughout our entire time at the dealership. Anthony handled the finance portion and made the process very easy. The sweet woman at the front desk (I didn't catch her name) was also amazing, as she made our son's day when she gave him a snack! We have nothing negative to ... Read More Google - Jul 11, 2026

Great experience
I’ve never purchased a vehicle from a dealership before. I didn’t know what to expect, if the sales people would be overly aggressive, if they would try to hide charges in the contract, play the what size payment can you afford game I’ve heard so many horror stories about in the past from friends and family members.
I searched vehicles online, found a few I was interested in, and started making phone calls. I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I spoke with a very polite, respectful and intelligent young man named Julio Fierro. He answered ... Read More Google - Jul 10, 2026
From the moment I walked into Heyward Allen GMC until the moment I drove away in my brand-new GMC Sierra Denali 1500, the experience was absolutely exceptional.
Everyone at the dealership made me feel welcome and valued. Anthony, the manager, was professional and genuinely appreciative of my business, and Janet at the front desk greeted me with a warm smile and made every interaction a pleasure.
A special thank you goes to my sales advisor, Maxsim Johnson. He was outstanding! Maxsim was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, personable, honest, and attentive throughout the entire process. He answered every question thoroughly, never made me ... Read More Google - Jul 9, 2026
So I normally don't do reviews but this was by far one of the most laid-back dealerships I've bought a vehicle from. There was no pressure to buy anything and they really did cater to you as far as what you needed and what you can afford. Jorge and the rest of his team were great. Super friendly and very accommodating. Thanks again Jorge and your team for giving me a great experience

Maks Johnson and the entire team did a great job working with us on trading in our old vehicle for a very nice Acadia! Maks was incredibly personable and patient with all our questions working out the details and getting us the best deal possible! Thanks so much!
Curt was great!
We needed a quick oil change, Michael in service made it happen ! He told a time and got us out ! Loved that he gave us information and options. The waiting area however was scary and the old stairs to use a restroom
Great overall experience. Maks Johnson was awesome guy to work with. Everyone did what they could to work with my schedule. They ladies in the front were sweet, polite and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable! They worked an awesome deal that I felt was reasonable for the truck I was buying. As long as they hold up their end of the deal and my tailgate gets replaced without any hiccups, I’ll give them 5stars!
If you’re looking for a car, go see Maks Johnson at Heyward Allen GMC! He helped us purchase a 2023 Buick Enclave, and he could not have been more professional. He helped us locate a car that fit our needs, and he never made us feel pressured to buy. Maks was upfront with all the information ab several different cars we were looking at and guided the process with integrity. We have bought several cars from the folks at Heyward Allen, and they always treat us well!
Curt Bennett provided a wonderful, no-pressure vehicle selection and purchase experience. Would definitely recommend.
5 STARS for Julio, Sean, and Josef! Came in first for my wife and Julio did a FANTASTIC JOB helping her get a Cadillac EV and it was such great experience that I just HAD to buy another vehicle with him. My Brand New GMC 2500 looks great! Come to Heyward Allen and ask for JULIO he really does go above and beyond to ensure a smooth process and I’d recommend him to ANYONE!

I drove over 3.5 hours to the dealership, and when I arrived my 2026 GMC Sierra AT4 Duramax was detailed, full of fuel, and all the paperwork was ready to go. Jon took the time to walk me through the entire truck and explain ... Read More Google - Apr 4, 2026

We had a great experience purchasing our vehicle from Heyward Allen. Sam was incredible to work with and extremely patient as we took the time to think through which vehicle would best fit our family’s needs. They offered a very fair price for our trade-in, and at no point did we feel pressured by sales tactics. It was clear that this is a family-run business that genuinely cares about the people they serve. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely continue to use Heyward Allen in the future.
My sales guy Maks was top notch! He and Sean made this the easiest car I've ever purchased. I told Maks what I wanted and he made it happen. They have my families business from now on.
Great experience with patience and communication while walking through the process of buying my first new vehicle.
Maxhim is the best car salesman hands down.
I worked with Lamarr to purchase my car remotely from Florida and it was the most stress free and seamless car purchase I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Very professional staff in the Service Department. They kept me updated and it was a pleasure doing business with them.
I came in with my mom to look at a car and our sales person Adam was great in ensuring we walked out with a deal. The whole process was very easy and fast. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the market for a car. My mom loves her new Subaru and we highly recommend coming here for your car purchase needs.
Adam Brown made the process of buying a new car as straight forward as possible. He listened to what we needed in a vehicle. Once we decided on a vehicle, he was very thorough in explaining all the car features and helped us set up the basics. Highly recommend Adam and Heyward Allen GMC.
Very professional and smooth process from start to finish. Lamar was phenomenal. Teaching me all about my new vehicle. Bruce was fantastic. Finding a vehicle with the options I wanted. Sean Was wonderful wrapping up the final paperwork
I visited Heyward Allen today for the first time. I was greeted by the very kind receptionist holding the door open for me when I arrived. She immediately started looking for a sales agent for me and apologized it was taking longer than expected. All the agents were working with customers.
The wait was worth it. As soon as available Luke came to introduce himself and asked how he could help. I told him I was there to look at 2 trucks listed on the website. He went to get the keys to them but one still wasn’t quite ready ... Read More DealerRater - Dec 26, 2025

Everyone I encountered was friendly. I worked with Jon and he was great. He knew everything about the vehicle and listened to my needs. I never felt like he was being pushy and only felt he was doing the best he could to help me. I’m very happy with my purchase and with the dealership.
I recently purchased my 2022 Denali and had an amazing experience! My sales guy (Adam) was great—he worked out a deal that fit exactly what I needed and kept me in the loop the entire time, even with other buyers interested. I live 2 hours away, and he had everything ready for me when I arrived, making the whole process smooth and easy. Highly recommend — and when I upgrade or purchase another Denali in the future, I’ll definitely be returning!
