Customer Testimonials
It was a pleasure having Elvedin as our salesman!
Once again, Mike and the service team come through with service quality we simply don’t see anymore. They did everything they could to help me with the service appointment, rides and the courtesy I seldom see anywhere. Keep supporting them, I wish other companies would benchmark their service operation.
It was exceptional care, knowledge, and support I received on my Wagoneer purchase. From Ben to Tanner to Neil really keeping me in the loop and knowing what exactly I was looking for in the process, answering my questions in a patient manner and providing details.
So I had bought a truck that was less than desirable and Dave Reynolds went above and beyond to get me out of that truck and into a truck that fit my lifestyle! And about 2 weeks later he helped my mother with a killer deal on a pre-owned Durango and taking in a bunch of trades for us to help with the cost!!! 10 out of 10 people! If you need a new ride get a hold of Dave at friendly ram, best move you can make!
Dave Reynold’s has always been the best to work with! They brought this truck from another location for me to look at and I fell in love with it. Thank you, Dave.
This is my second time in 3 years buying from Friendly. I have been buying vehicles for 20 years and Neil and his team at Friendly CDJR of Hamilton have been hands down the best. No hassle, no fluff, just honesty and hard work. Neil worked tirelessly to find both of the trucks I wanted down to the detail and cost. I will continue to do business here any time I need a vehicle. I encourage anyone to call Neil and his team. You will not be disappointed.
Fast service. Barely had enough time to look around and my truck was done.
Come see John Purcell for all your vehical needs. Easy to work with. Have bought several cars from friendly dodge hamilton.
We have worked with John Purcell for years now and his service is why we keep coming back!!! He always goes above and beyond to get us the best deal he can that works for us!!! 10 out of 10 recomend working with him when your on the market for a new ride!!!
Just got my second truck from David. Handled all my issues timely and professionally. Would recommend Dave to anyone. In
We went to Hamilton to trade in my vehicle and David Reynolds assisted us. He was pleasant to work with and answered any questions we had. The first vehicle I trade I do not end up liking. I reached out to Dave to let him know I was not happy and the vehicle they had at another location I was interested in. The team and him got the vehicle there and worked with me to get me the vehicle I liked. They made the process as easy and stress free as possible trading a vehicle back in so quickly.
This is my second durango from here. I have dealt with John Purcell both times. He did amazing at finding me the vehicle I wanted and stayed within my budget. He was quick to get the deal done and tanner in fiance was able to get me approved quickly. John also helped my husband find a vehicle the very next day. I am surrounded by "top tier" dealerships and will still drive the 45 min to go see them instead!
John Purcell was absolutely amazing. He hunted down the perfect truck and was awesome to deal with. Him and Tanner took great care of us.. By far the best dealership I've been to.
I worked with John Purcell to purchase a used Ram 1500. He made the transition easy and worked with me to get the financing I was looking for. Highly recommend Friendly Chrysler and John Purcell!
Neil and Nate were amazing to work with. Great customer care.
Parts department is not helpful and rude.
Neil was such a pleasure to deal with. Customer service was top notch and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you again for you fantastic service. Thanks Rosa and Tom
Neil was amazing to work with! I would definitely recommend!
David was delightful! Buying anything often feels exactly how it is, somebody is trying to sell you something. But with David its not that which is greatly appreciated. Your having a conversation with him, with a person! 10/10
David Renolyds was excellent to work with, makes the purchasing process even better.
Great experience from start to finish! John and Nate were friendly, professional, and made the car-buying process easy and stress-free. They were honest, helpful, and never made me feel pressured. I’m very happy with my vehicle and would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a great car and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be back in the future!
John made this experience easy and painless!
I keep getting these silly, automated emails from John Purcell despite my Telling him about 20 Times that I don't live within 1000 miles of NY. Yet I keep getting silly automated spam. Do not shop here.
Thank you again John Purcell for our new Jeep Wrangler. Absolutely loved the experience and that’s why we keep coming back time and time again. We can’t say enough about how amazing Friendly Dodge Jeep Chrysler in Hamilton ny is with customer service and care.
Great experience! Hands down the best dealership that I have worked with, they made it all easy and I had no worries about anything. The prices are extremely fair and competitive. I worked along with Dave Reynolds who made this just an easy and smooth process. My girlfriend also bought a truck the same day, she worked with Alex and I talked with him a lot as well. Highly recommend either one of them and I'd refer them to anyone
I had the opportunity to work with Neil Whitmore for my next Ram. Right from the first phone call to the final sale, he was polite, straight forward, no B.S. type of guy. Easy to work with and seemed to meet my needs and requests. When it came time to sign paperwork there was no fine print or "hidden fee or extras". Everything was explained and accounted for. This was my first time purchasing from Friendly's. The final price was several thousands dollars cheaper than any local dealership around me. Definitely worth the hour or so ... Read More

The best car buying experience! Second car I bought from Nate and it’s always flawless and every deal is better than any dealership around will give you! I will definitely be back for every car purchase I make! Nate John and Tanner are all great people to work with
Highly recommended... excellent service. Everyone is very friendly, especially Neil, who helped my daughter get her car. Thanks, guys.
Terrific experience here! We drove 1 1/2 hours to get a particular used vehicle and everyone went above and beyond as we made our decision. John Purcell as our sales associate was friendly and let us make our decision without pressure. Our final decision was made easier by the entire staff- Ben the sales manager and Tanner the business manager all made sure we were comfortable with the deal. The dealership itself is very well kept, and bonus points for being close to Ray Brothers BBQ so you can celebrate after buying a car! 🙂
***PSA*** Stay FAR FAR AWAY from Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Hamilton!!!
Although our buying process was easy last year, our interactions with the service department have been HORRIBLE! My husbands truck needed a new heater core just 2 months after purchase after breaking down on our way back from PA and having to be towed all the way home. We towed it right to Friendly and were told it was covered under warranty, but it took them FOREVER to get the work done. We got the truck back and a short while later had the same problems. Were told “... Read More

Recently got a Wrangler from Friendly. Very impressed with the know-how here. The salesman did a fantastic job of laying out my options and when I told him my opinion it became his mission to make me a happy customer. I will be working with them whenever possible from here on out.
Had a great experience buying a truck at Friendly Ford of Hamilton. In particular, Angel was excellent to work with - friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and not at all pushy. Absolutely recommend.
John P was great to work with from beginning to end of my process. He made what was a stressful situation, easier to navigate. Highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the most efficient and enjoyable car-buying process I've ever had. After browsing for weeks, searching for the exact vehicle we wanted, and talking to endless AI bots, we came across this dealership and immediately started working with Alex. Alex was able to answer all of our many questions and help us. Working with Alex was a refreshing change from the AI bots setting up appointments to see vehicles at other dealerships, only to show up and find the vehicle was not even on the lot. There was a strong sense of transparency ... Read More

One of the best car buying experiences I have ever had! Thanks Neil, Ben.
I just want to share what an amazing experience I had with Friendly Dodge of Hamilton. I just picked up my second Ram 1500 from Friendly and I couldn't be any happier. I met Dave Reynolds who is a salesman when I purchased my first Ram and have been dealing with him ever since. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. Dave makes the process seamless! I was looking for a Ram with specific options and he was able to locate the truck at another dealership and made it happen. I got the exact truck I wanted and for ... Read More

**PSA:** Stay far away from Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Hamilton.
I have been without my own vehicle for **nearly five months** and counting. First, it was a failed gear shifter. Now it's a loud noise that their technicians have been unable to locate, diagnose, or repair after months of trying.
To make matters worse, I hit a deer while driving one of their loaner vehicles. My insurance company has already paid the claim, and the parts have been sitting at their body shop for weeks. Yet I'm still being forced to drive that damaged loaner with **... Read More

What a great experience! Went in saw the truck, I wanted it was a very trouble free experience next day. I came in and bought it! Great service love my new truck. I highly recommend Neil! Such a great great person to work with.
Everyone here is very nice and great service I love it
Fantastic experience. My sales person was David Reynolds who went above and beyond on helping me find the right vehicle that fit my needs and wants. He didn’t push a bunch of different ones at me just to try and make a sale. He made sure it was something that is what I wanted me and be happy with. Then the manager team was also fantastic to work with. You walk in the building and everyone says hello to you and make sure your being taken care of and will have a nice pleasant conversation with you. It was ... Read More

John Purcell, Is a great salesmen always great doing business with him. This is the second vehicle John has sold me. Above and beyond!
Friendly (pun intended) and chill atmosphere focused on getting the best deal. Can't thank Neil enough for working with me and getting the perfect 1500 for me and the family! Will be back for sure
Quick trade in experience from my 2019 Jeep Compass to my 2023. Would recommend John who was easy to talk to, professional and knowledgeable. Love the spin the wheel game at the end! Nice touch 🙂
John Purcell is the only one I will buy from. John treats everyone equally and professionally. John always makes sure it’s the best fit and takes the time to go over everything. John I give 5 plus stars. Thank you!
This is the place to go. David Reynolds is the man.
Excellent experience with Neil Whitmore at Friendly Jeep of Hamilton, NY ~ fast, efficient, and thrilled to leave the same day with my brand new car and everything taken care of. Great job!
I went with my daughter to look at a used truck we saw online at Friendly CDJR in Hamilton, only to find it had sold the night before. John Purcell took us into the office to find another truck she might like at their other stores, and she found one in Geneva. We thought with a holiday weekend coming, and being Friday morning, she wouldn't get to look at if until the following week. But, John got right on it and made it happen. He had the truck there that afternoon for her to see and drive, and he ... Read More

Great commication with salesman John Purcell. He's really great for giving details, showing vehicles on online. Also he got 2019 Ranger from other one of his dealership in other place to Hamilton in one day for me to test drive. Its beautiful truck. Thanks Mr. John Purcell. 🙂
Neil Whitmore was amazing. Even though the 1st vehicle I picked didn't work out and there were some hiccups, he went above and beyond to make sure I got a truck I wanted. He put up with my constant text messages and calls, and that alone deserves 5 stars. I would totally recommend reaching out to Neil Whitmore for your next purchase.
My wife and I have bought 4 vehicles through here in Hamilton. Specifically dealing with John Purcell, our experience has been nothing short of pleasant and seamless. Each time it’s been as relaxing as it can get with no added pressure. What is shown and said is what we are presented with. 100% happy and will be back again for sure. Without hesitation I would recommend John Purcell for your sales needs.
I found the preowned Jeep i wanted online a few months back. Although about an hour away, I called and spoke to Dave, who got me in and made a great deal. Now this week the car my teen son has wanted was listed on their site. I didnt hesitate. I called and spoke to Dave and once again he made test driving, trading in and purchasing a newer vehicle so quick and easy. We never felt pressured in any way and always felt respected. So happy to have found a great place for vehicles!
John Purcell is absolutely fantastic!!!! My friend Stephanie suggested John! Thank you everyone for making my purchase a smooth experience
This place is anything but friendly. I would give 0 stars if I could. I was there shopping with my buddy and we were promised a trailer hitch with the jeep. They refused to give it to us and threatened to back out of an already signed agreement and delivered car. Seems very shady business. Neil was our salesman and he will do anything to get a sale, he told us he didn’t need to see any pictures of a car we sold to them. the sales manager, Ben is now threatening to steal the car they delivered to us. ...

John Purcell was a pleasure to work with. In a very short time, he found the perfect vehicle for me! Very pleased with my experience!
Dave is professional, detailed and always answers questions. Get job
This dealership scammed me out of a lot of money. When I went back to talk to the salesperson and the owner I was told "sorry you signed the paperwork so there is nothing we can do" - Make sure you read every form completely if you dare to do business there. The paperwork they use makes it very easy to confuse customers. What they say and what they print on paper are two very different things. I negotiated the price of a truck to $39000 (or so I thought) They used the $5000 that I said I was putting ... Read More

Great service untill you pull of the lot. Was unable to drive vehicle for days because it was unregistered with a mistake on their side. So had to take time off of work. Look at my brand new paper weight sit in the drive way and rent a vehicle. Got the paper to register it and they messed all that up as well. Days after fighting to get it right.

When signing your contracts at purchase make sure u know what you're signing. These guys like to sneak extended warranties into them even after you've told them you don't want it. I know several people that have been bamboozled by them. Deceptive business practices.
Wouldn’t even give them a 1 Star. Drove all the way there to look at a vehicle that was a fresh trade in with no pictures online. Left dealership few hours before closing with a written deal in hand for purchase and had to bring it to the owners of my company since they were making the purchase. Next morning our office called to finalize the deal and get everything going literally 3 business hours later and the truck was sold. The one that had no pictures online. With little or no information. Either didn’t like the fact we weren’... Read More

Garin’s honesty, professionalism, and genuine care made a lasting impression. He explained everything clearly, stayed patient with my questions, and followed up after the sale to ensure I was fully satisfied. It felt like more than just buying a car—it felt like someone truly had my back.

Absolutely without a doubt the single worst dealership I have ever dealt with. My wife leased a 2024 wrangler and had it 4 days! It died in the parking lot at work $200 tow to the othe side of town. That was Feb. 15th, still no jeep. Replaced major electrical components several times with no solution in sight. Told jeep just take it back & get her another one. They refuse to replace or refund the purchase. “It’s Jeeps problem contact them” is the only response I’ve gotten from Friendly.
David Reynolds make my car buying experience super easy. I love my new dodge durango. Thank you for everything!
John Purcell is a great salesman . Top notch friendly !! Great place to purchase your ride!

Our transmission died at 30k miles. Chrysler offered to pay for it and provide a rental. After waiting 3 months, they provided neither. We've spent several thousand dollars and are still stuck with an undrivable vehicle.
DO NOT BUY from here, I was there the other day, and saw this at their service garage! Ridiculous, this is what will happen if you buy a vehicle from them. Your safety is important, imagine going down the thruway and having this happen to you
We purchased a 2016 Dodge Journey from John. On the day we were to pick up the car, the person delivering the car to the dealership got into an accident. Friendly's took responsibility and made the repairs.
Unfortunately we had to bring it back as the initial repair which was a bumper replacement was not done correctly and there was missing attachments and gapping. The dealership is 50 minutes from us. We had to return on our time at our expense to have them fix it a second time and it still had gapping. As well, the following day have signing ... Read More

John was happy to help when I was in need of a new truck for my business. He pushed the sale right along and made all of the arrangements very easy. At the time of the sale my trade in was in the shop for a warranty engine replacement. We agreed on a range for my trade in once the job was completed. After the sale he did not hold up his end of the bargain or remember me. Ill never recommend this dealer simply because they are dishonest and untrustworthy.
No follow Thur salesman should have drove the car to make sure it was right be for pickup. Service department should not treat everyone like there an idiot. Was told the front end on a jeep that was locked and skidding tires on corners was normal so we drove an identical one no issue except for the rust on second one. Wouldn't be back.
Purchased a 19Ram 1500 Big Horn in January at Friendly's in Hamilton. So far the back window blow out with an electrical issue, the side mirrors defrost doesn't work, and now the battery went dead. The dealer refuses to take care of any issues and appearantly the 4k warranty doesn't cover anything either. They over charged me for the registration by more than double and I still have not got a refund. My best advice is if you are looking for a vehicle go elsewhere unless you want to be overcharged and not get any service after they ... Read More

As always an excellent experience working with Neil Whitmore to purchase a newer vehicle . I highly recommend him as well as this dealership
We liked working with Cameron R. Very much. Was an excellent buying experience. Great dealership.
James Carbone took great care of me and got me in a great vehicle fast and made the process easy!
Just wanted to give a shout out to Neil Whitmore, who always comes through. His incredible personality and overall character makes buying a new vehicle stress free. I would advise anyone looking to upgrade, to stop in and see Neil.
Dave was a great salesman, friendly and attentive to what I wanted and did not try to push what I didn't want. I would recommend him.
Amazing sales team, from start to finish in basically 24 hrs , James Carbone found the perfect vehicle for me! Ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for !
