What Customers Are Saying
"Over the last 20 years my wife and I have purchased 10 new vehicles from Prothro Chevrolet. I have moved and lived in 3 different states during that time, but always end up coming back for my vehicle needs. Today, I will travel from GA to buy our 11th new vehicle. Don't waste your time at other dealers."

"Excellent communication about my vehicle order; very transparent pricing; very respectful process from start to finish. I went to other dealerships before Prothro and I got up and walked out, but Prothro won me over."

"Hands down the best customer service I have ever had! Unfortunately, my 2018 GMC had an issue while traveling and broke down in Manning, SC on a Saturday right at about closing time for the dealership. The guys stayed open after hours long enough for me to have my truck and boat towed to the dealership and stored within their fence. They supplied me with a loaner for the weekend... The entire time my truck was being repaired the service advisor kept me informed and helped me out with more information on getting reimbursed for hotel stays and additional rental cost."

"All I can say is, 100% first class dealership. Moving from Fl. to Md. Driving my 2011 2500 Silverado, with wife -- 2 large dogs and one cat when we broke down at the motel we were staying at for the night. We had a closing date the following day on our new home... When I got back to the dealership at 8:15am they pushed my fully loaded truck into a bay, and had mechanics diagnose it within a half hour. Fuel system repair needed, parts were in stock. All taken care of and out the door before 11am... by far the best service I've ever received in my 40 years of owning vehicles."
