Good Hummer Dealer near Chattannoga ???

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Hi ALL...

I just purchase 4 acres on Lookout Mountain in Dade County, GA; which is the most northwestern county in GA, 22 minutes from
Chattanooga, TN.

Will soon start building a house there and want to get reccomendations on a HUMMER dealer in the area for my 2 H-3's service.

Has anyone purchased and had service in the area where TN, GA & AL meet ?

All info would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

RYD

Obviously farther away but we took HI's 3 to Hummer of Knoxville after Tellico and they seemed great. From what I heard the service department was top notch and I know one of the guys I talked to had been working on Hummers since about '94 or so.

No first hand experience, but when I was living in TN, the guys at work would only order through Kelly Hummer, even though Crest in Nashville was about a 100 miles closer.
Can't say how their service is, but their sales department sure made people go out of their way to purchase their Hummers through Kelly.

PS Nice area, love Chattanooga. Great BBQ at Sticky Fingers.

Thanks for the info so far.. anyone else out there with their thoughts???

I live just outside Chattanooga. I've had bad experiences with the sales (too expensive) and service (can't fix anything) department at the local dealership, so I drive to Atlanta. I've tried three of the four dealers there, and my best experience has been with Lou Sobh in Duluth. Of course, I've only had H1's and H2's, so I can't say from experience how the local dealer is with H3's, but if I had to guess...

Just got my tax bill today for house in Miami, $1600...

Home owners insurance due soon, It will be around $4000...

Taxes in Georgia on 4 acres of land, $200

Likely taxes for Ga once the house is built around $800

Homeowners insurance in Georgia once house is built $800


Florida Taxes and Insurance $5600

Georgia Taxes and Insurance appx $1600

_________

$4000 difference

nice towards maybe a used H-1

Don't know your income level, desires or needs but take a look at:


www.cloudlandestates.com

also I can give you a contact on a good realter in Chattanooga who covers TN, Ga and possibly NC

His e-mail is:

andy@andyhodes.com

TALK IS FREE

Tell him Michael Leslie in Miami (who bought in cloudland) gave you his name . It will get me a free Starbucks Latte Grande

Good luck and keep in touch...

RYD

edit PS: Western NC is getting expensive. I looked for over a year all over north GA, the Chattanooga area and western NC

[K9sH3]

Thank you, this is a area I havn't heard about. I will look at it and speak with Andy early next week.

RYD

I live on the northeast side of Chattanooga heading toward Knoxville.

I've actually not (yet) had to stay overnight for service, but that's what I'd do if necessary. When I used the local dealer for service on my prior H2's and previous H1, they did keep them on ocassion for several days. The bad thing was that nothing ever seemed to get fixed.

My wife loves to shop, so we've agreed to make a trip out of it when that time comes with the Alpha...

i bought my H3 from kelly in chattanooga, I havent had to take it in so i dont know how their shop is. I did have a problem with them covering up paint swirl marks( can be seen in previous thread under technical discussions). Otherwise they seem like a competent enough dealership to take your hummers to to avoid going all the way to atlanta.
