I started my career in the auto industry in 2001. I spent the first 6 years as a Product Advisor and since 2007 I have been in a management roll. Cars have always been a passion of mine and having worked in sales previously in the food industry my passion for dealing with customers also grew. I found that merging the two together was a perfect mix. Working here at Gorrud’s for the past 8 years has been a great learning experience and I find myself constantly growing as a professional in this industry. Hobbies include, cooking, listening to music and when I have time physical activities.

Great buying experience at Gorrud's I recently bought a 2014 Ford Fusion SE with AWD, 16,000 km from Gorrud's. I did a detailed price point review of similar vehicles for sale in the GT I recently bought a 2014 Ford Fusion SE with AWD, 16,000 km from Gorrud's. I did a detailed price point review of similar vehicles for sale in the GTA. The price they offered was one of the lowest I saw. Their policy of listing their "Best Price Available" takes the stress out of buying a car. Why go somewhere else and try to negotiate "back and forth" a deal, when Gurrud's offers the best deal they can. I saved about $10,000 by buying 1 year old instead of new. Trade in was valued at a very fair rate. My Salesman Scott, and Sales manager Danny made the whole process very simple. Worth the drive from Burlington. More

Very Happy !!!! I am very happy with my purchase from Gorrud Auto in Milton. I found the vehicle on autotrader.ca and travelled from Aurora for a test drive. I have I am very happy with my purchase from Gorrud Auto in Milton. I found the vehicle on autotrader.ca and travelled from Aurora for a test drive. I have never seen a dealership so busy with customers at every single desk. My sales rep, Ryan Saturno, was courteous and knowledgeable. I believe Ryan and Danny went above and beyond with superior attention to address AND resolve my concerns. I will definitely recommend Ryan and Gorrud's Auto to everyone I know looking to buy a new-to-you vehicle. More

I really enjoyed dealing with Ron at Gorrud's, great guy! My experience at Gorrud's was such that I wouldn't hesitate to recommed this dealer to a friend, family member or to return myself. Their no haggle p My experience at Gorrud's was such that I wouldn't hesitate to recommed this dealer to a friend, family member or to return myself. Their no haggle policy and fair pricing system are refreshing to say the least and their customer service is second to none. I went in knowing exactly what i was looking for and Ron, Danny and Kevin were great in facilitating the entire process. Thank you for making my purchase such a positive experience to everyone at Gorrud's ! Tim Murphy More

Great effort to earn my business! Danny and Eric went out of their way to provide us with information and assistance with all of our questions and concerns. Never having heard of Gorru Danny and Eric went out of their way to provide us with information and assistance with all of our questions and concerns. Never having heard of Gorrud's, I was bit apprehensive about going in to look for a car, but soon found out that they were affiliated with other major dealerships in the area (Hyundai and Toyota) and operate with the same attentiveness and professionalism you would expect from every other big-name dealership. I even talked with some of the local mechanics about Gorruds, who spoke very favourably about the company and ownership, and their long history in the Milton area. As for our car, we were given all pertinent information about its routine maintenance and clean accident history (car-proof), and were even freely allowed to take it out and have it inspected by a third party mechanic. We were assured that the car had no accidents, and that it was meticulously maintained by staff, but being a used car, we still wanted to make sure it was as described. Fortunately, the car passed inspection, which gave us peace of mind, and thereupon strengthened our trust and comfort in dealing with Eric and Danny. Overall, my experience was positive and I recommend anyone looking for a car online visit Gorrud's site. More

Gorruds gold standard in our view We have consistently received such quality service that we just feel inclined to acknowledge the team that provided it. Time and time again, vehicle We have consistently received such quality service that we just feel inclined to acknowledge the team that provided it. Time and time again, vehicle after vehicle, my husband and I have made the drive from mississauga to Gorruds in Milton to purchase and service our vehicles. It's certainly not about convenience, we have two small kids and a busy schedule. We go the distance because Gorruds goes the distance! Quality service, communication, fair pricing....and the job is done right the first time. So many incentive programs that actually add value and make you feel like a valued customer. Special thanks to Danny Demelo, Jason Wilkinson (service manager), Mallory (service advisor), and Victoria at front desk ....not just because of the fresh donuts Victoria lol!!!! Highly recommended and we are grateful for your service! More

A certain refinement not typically associated with a used car dealership permeates throughout the entire process. My salesperson Eric Hopkins listened carefully to my needs and concerns guiding me and answering all my questions until we found exactly what I wanted. This was my second purchase from Gorrud's and I know with certainty that it will not be my last. Thank you for being an honest business that I was able to trust. More

2014 Toyota Camry We went to Gorruds with the intention of purchasing a newer used vehicle. We were greeted by one of the Sales Team (Jason) and we explained to him why We went to Gorruds with the intention of purchasing a newer used vehicle. We were greeted by one of the Sales Team (Jason) and we explained to him why we were there. We were very relaxed by the whole purchasing experience, including the test drives and the lack of pressure, and Jason's product knowledge was excellent. We have now purchased four vehicles from Gorruds and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to feel comfortable with the whole buying and maintaining their vehicle. As sales and service go together! and Gorruds excel in both areas! More
