For a car dealership, this is truly an awesome place to work and be a part of something even bigger than putting cars on the road. The hours of operation allow you to make enough money to support your family, while still having nough time to be home and spend time with loved ones. Management and my associates were all extremely caring and personable. I think you'll find you have a second family right here in this building. Surrounding yourself with other professionals who envision success makes you push yourself even if it may bring you a little out of your comfort zone. Overall, I was extremely fortunate to call this place my office and would recommend or refer anybody I know to give this place a look if you're in the market for a new job, or career. Thanks Garvey and to the excellent management!

Not good


80's car sales mentality. Very behind with the times, not at all where they need to be professionaly to fit in todays market. Welcome to upstate New York. They don't care if you make money or how many hours you work past 50. They just care if they sell cars and have someone help them clear out the lot when it snows, or key up cars when it's hot. If you're hired into sales you are the whipping servant for the tenured employees who don't want to do anything other than tend to their comebacks. They will ask you to work open to close and if you don't comply they'll cut you loose, even while you're making sub 300/week.

stay awayyy

This company does have its good people in it, but the management is horrible here and tries to make sure everyone does what they "need to do" without an explanation on what they should be doing and how to do it... also this place is run like a high-school if you don't get along with someone here that is fit in very well they will fire you on the spot with no information as to why, if you like organization and awareness, this is not the job for you. The pay is horrible, you are tasked with so many things to do and not the compensation for it not even close. 

I worked here for a few months in 2020 and I had a terrible experience the entire time. This place is the most toxic place I have worked for. I brought up some very important things to the owners as well and was not responded to. When your made to work Saturdays they will not tell you but, you're not allowed to take a lunch because your the only person there to do your job. Everyone here will talk about you and how you're bad at your job but won't tell you so you can fix it. Overall I'd never recommend someone to work here or to buy a vehicle here.

My over all experience was nice, although it could be stressful at time. Random car keys would be dropped off on my toolbox, even if my schedule was full for the day. I got paid well to do what I did. Fairly simple and straight forward work when service writers weren't breathing down your neck. Of it wasn't for the poor additude of several workers I would still be working there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving after 20 years, best choice I made

Doing required work for free , providing services that pay zero , getting time off approved , policy from management that has nothing to do with the job

Stressful and on edge , never happy 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work from the time you start till quitting time , waiting for parts , getting wrong parts , jumping threw hoops

Those one star reviews are without a doubt from disgruntled ex employees. There is a reason why Garvey had such a longevity with their employees. Many of us have worked for this company for 10+ years and have no desire to leave. The Garveys treat you like family, they are beyond respectful of you and treat all of their employees equally no matter what your job title. You’re 100% missing out if you don’t join the Garvey Auto Group!

While working on commission, you might expect your fellow employees to be less helpful and more only about themselves. At Garvey that is truly not the case. All the employees from every department work together so that the whole succeeds. Having been able to speak to other sales consultants at various non-Garvey locations, I have learned that this is atypical. That being said, I am glad that I chose Garvey to begin and maintain my sales career.

Garvey Auto Group has been great to work for. The owners are invested in the business and involved in the day to day operations and are always aproachable. It can be fast paced and a bit hectic at times but the expectations are reasonable and they don't have unrealistic goals they expect you to achieve. 
The employees make a pretty tight knit community and are welcoming even to new employees. Overall a great place to work.

I started here a few months back, and I felt at home right away. I switched brands after 12 years, so there was a lot to learn in regards to the product.  Everyone is extremely helpful, and everyone wants to, and helps me succeed here every single day.  Having two children and a career as a single mom can be challenging, but this company provides the exact work/life balance I was looking for. I am very grateful to have joined this team.
