Our Reviews

From the time that I entered the dealership I was treated very well and respecful. Bob Moritz was the salesman that I worked with and was friendly and was like someone I'd known for a long time. The entire process went smoothly and everyone was nice to me. I must say it was the best experience purchacing a vehicle I've had. Thank you to the team!

The service was good. But, it took almost 2 hrs to do a simple service as a oil change. That is not good.

I always receive excellent service from Jim Butler Chevrolet in Linn Mo. I have been a loyal customer for MANY years.

Adam was good to work with however the car wasnt cleaned up when we picked it up-couldnt hardly see out of the windshield. One other thing-it was requested that the car be delivered to us at our home-as our last one had been-that didnt happen

Great experience ! This is our second truck we have bought here Tony Sesti our salesman was great to work with , no pressure.

I enjoy the friendly folks in all your departments.

Excellent customer service and communication

Great the salesman was very helpful

Service agent was professional and informative

I had a scheduled oil change and tire rotation. I asked them specifically NOT to fix the tire pressure sensor because of the price. It took them 2 hours and 15 minutes to finish with my car. They fixed one tire sensor that I said not to fix and now none of my tire pressure sensors work. I had to pay for the sensor that they fixed but left with none working. I don't know that I will ever return to Butler or when looking for a new vehicle will I go there again.

The problem wasn’t fixed and more parts had to be ordered and if they would have taken the time to look they would have been able to figure that out. They don’t answer the phone they don’t call back and with a brand new vehicle I cannot believe the issues we are having

I spoke with five different people to schedule service and obtain pricing for tires, yet when I arrived for my scheduled appointment, I was told that no appointment existed in the system. I was then informed the vehicle would be completed the next day. When I called later that afternoon to request an update so I could arrange transportation, I had to call three times and was repeatedly told someone else would have the information, only to be transferred in a cycle without receiving an answer. I ultimately had to contact a supervisor directly to get an update. Attempting to have service performed at this dealership has been extremely difficult and has made me regret purchasing a vehicle here. The only reason I continue to return is due to the warranty I purchased with the truck

Dealership always has color and Bob Moritz is an exceptional salesman

Salesman Brian Ocheskey was very laid back, knowledgeable of the vehicle, and easy to work with. He made the process smooth and painless. I will definitely come back to work with him and Jim Butler in the future.

Our Sales Associate Brian Ochesky was amazing and made our experience easy with no pressure.

The service advisor was very professional and helpful. I also had a bad tire, he explained everything to me, got me a quote and set up a new appointment.

Great easy transaction

Everyone was so helpful. They worked as a team. Especial thanks to Michael and Tony.

Good prompt service with friendly techs.

Easy, fast, straight forward.

Brian was very good to work with and I think I got the best deal on my trade-in they could muster.

Brian worked with me to coordinate everything even when the freight company fell through.

Service was fine but expensive for what they did.

Always great service at Jim Butler.

The staff was very courteous and professional. The facility was very clean! I will recommend your dealership to my friends!

They found exactly what I was looking for and beat anyone else’s offers

Mitch was awesome! Got us just what we were looking for.

The service technician that helped my mom was extremely nice and polite! My mom had to wait a little over an hour for a scheduled oil change, which isn’t too bad, and he apologized for her wait.

Quick appointment time

I have been buying vehicles for over 35 years at this dealership. Although there are multiple dealerships much closer to home, we drive 30+ miles to buy and service our cars at Jim Butler, Linn. John Kraus is the person we trust for a professional transaction and service after the sale. John takes the time to listen to what we need and he makes sure that our needs are met. He also takes the time to fully explain the features of the vehicle immediately after the sale!

Jim Butler Chevrolet was very good to deal with and purchasing my Corvette was a smooth experience.

Expert efficient service

Seamless, no issues. How it should be.

Everyone was very professional, Adam helped with all details of setting up vehicle and questions. Psperwork was quick. Received follow up next day from Adam. Vehicle was clean and ready to go. Was a great experience.

Excellent service from Brian thank you very much. for the next time if it is better to change the financial part the gentleman attended us very reluctantly and without the attitude of negotiation

Brian Ocheskey was my salesperson, and he did an excellent job. He took the time to find the right truck for me, was patient throughout the process, and never once felt pushy. When I arrived to pick it up, my new truck was cleaned, ready to go, and even had my name on it — a great touch. The rest of the staff was also very polite and professional. Highly recommend stopping in and asking for Brian Ocheskey if you’re in the market.

Dealt with Steve Craigmiles. Excellent experience.

Good communication with service department.

Set up an appointment for 1pm to sign paper work took until 2pm to see finance manager. Was asked to wait in lobby as sales man had another appointment.

Very excellent, professional

This dealer does not have a courtesy van, makes it hard to go anywhere.

It was a great experience! Lots of trucks to choose from which is why I went there, and found the perfect truck for me. Shane did amazing while talking about each truck I looked and did it without talking over my head (thanks for that!). Working through the finance was super easy, and the financier patiently talked me through those pesky questions I like to ask. Ultimately great experience and I would recommend this dealership and Shane to anyone who is looking for a great truck and a good buying experience.

Excellent service. Knowledgeable and courteous salesman Adam Monroe

Shane was more than willing to get us exactly what we wanted, and so helpful throughout the whole process!

I came to Jim Bulter for an oil change, etc and I was having battery problems. The service went well and they solved my battery problem . They found a penny underneath the auto window roll up and it was causing the motor to run continuously and eventually run my battery down. I found it exception that they solve my problem!! Thank you.

Excellent service in a timely manner. Friendly coworkers who kept me updated every step of the way. Nice job!!

The service was good and the people were very nice, and they got my car repaired correctly and timely, but I believe that a bill for $447.49 is a little excessive to change 2 headlight bulbs on a chevy cruze !

From the time I walked into the office everyone was very kind courteous and answered all my questions. That is why I keep going back to them.

Very good

It was a great experience. People were kind, considerate, and informative.

It was a long service time due to the nature of the recall but was kept informed, offered a car, and was treated like a valued customer.

Leave me alone

Gage was excellent and took his time to make sure I left with something I was happy with. One of the easiest car buying experiences I have ever had!

The service on my Silverado was completed as promised

Jim was great sales person. Great price. Very honest place to purchase.

Friendly service employees and wait wasn't long.

Adam was great to work with. Very knowledgeable about the truck that we purchased.

Dealt with gage as he was my salesman made the entire process smooth in and out quickly,

We drove from Columbia, MO to Linn, MO to purchase our new Silverado 3500 Diesel at Jim Butler. This is the 3rd vehicle we have bought there, two of them from Tony Sesti!!! Tony is the absolute BEST! He went far above and beyond our expectations as a salesman, which is why we bought with him again. Our new truck is fabulous and Tony walked us through the ordering process, answered so many questions along the way, and kept us updated the entire time we waited for Sterling to arrive.

Had truck for 30,000 mile service and back tires. Appointment was scheduled but took 3 1/2 days. Also had to pay for new wheel which was factory fault.

2024 Silverado LTZ 6.2 recall 15,000 mile completed with no issues.

Excellent place to do business great knowledgeable staff and friendly environment

Great service

Joe was amazing we were in and out and approved within minutes! I am still waiting for the link for connect though!

Was not my best experience buying truck.

No heckling

?

We had a great experience. Michael answered all of our questions and did additional research when needed. Heath also made sure we had all of the information about the different warranty options despite my many questions, but I appreciate how thorough they both were!

Joe Henderson went above and beyond for me!! Great place to buy a car!!

Staff was fantastic and the lounge area was very clean!

John K. was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and professional. I think he deserves a huge salary increase! Great folks to work with.

Everyone and everything was just great.

Always great service at Jim Butler.

Great experience

On April 7th 2026, I had an appointment at Jim Butler Chevrolet service Department for an oil change, tire rotation, and tire repair, my appointment was at 8:30 am so we dropped the car off the evening before during service hours. On the 7th we went to pick up the car after work at approximately 4:30 pm, the car was not ready and I ended up staying until 5:30 pm before it was finished. I'm sorry but this is unacceptable. Don't make appointments if you are not going to honor the appointment time.

The team from Jim Butler picked up my Traverse at my office, provided the service and returned it in a timely manner.

Shane was very helpful in helping us find the car that we liked. I highly recommend him to other folks that are purchasing a vehicle.

Very satisfied with the purchase very helpful people

Easy to get my vehicle in for service. Kept me up to date on my car and not a long wait.

I completed this purchase entirely over the phone. Had great communication through determining options, negotiations and delivery.

Michael was great showing us the trucks and explaining options to us. The only issue i had was we waited a long time over 2 hours to see the financial person.

Everyone answered all my questions in a courteous and friendly way

Everyone was great

Fast and Friendly

Lack of communication that service was complete and how much the invoice was. Did not complete multi point inspection- air filter indicator showing around 35% before and after service but nothing said so was it checked??

Could of been nicer

Good service

Great to deal with, I had dash lights come on during a trip and OnStar connected me with them. I pulled into their shop once home and they went over the truck very throughly. I appreciated the service and especially how quick they were.

They took me in as soon as I arrived. They completed the service and came to the waiting room to get me. They were polite and treated me very nice.

It was the best I've ever had. Thank you Jim Butler and Adam!

John. Kraus took great care of me! I only deal with John or Mike Carroll

Shane Backues was our salesman. He was great to work with and answered all our questions, even texts on his day off.

Shane Backues and Bob Moritz are two of the best salesmen I have ever dealt with. Zero pressure, straight forward negotiation.

Need to be able to get in sooner for oil changes. Took 5 weeks and I live in rural area and drive 60 miles a day. Predicting a month out how many miles I may drive is hard.

Brought my vehicle in for oil change I assume that was done. However the multipoint inspection is a joke, vehicle had a low tire light on when I brought it in everything checked off good didn’t even check air in tires.. I assume nothing else checked either. You need some quality control measures in place and check up on your service techs. Not impressed

Kent was great to work with, he thoroughly went through everything about my truck, which was great since I retired from the Claycomo Ford Assembly Plant and have only driven Fords for the last 30 years.

I like coming here for service. The only problem was the tech put the wrong oil viscosity on the window sticker which made me question what oil he added. I asked and was told he forgot to change it on the machine that prints the sticker.

Need more room in service area . Service was great .r

A great dealership with a no pressure atmosphere. The employees are courteous, knowledgeable and patient.

When I pulled up to the service bay sat there for 20 minutes and the car in front of me never got moved. Finally someone did come out to take my information. I was scheduled for an oil change and a tire rotation. Pretty sure I did not get my tires rotated because I had a low tire code which was showing up and when I got in my car to leave after my service, I still had the same code on the same tire. Although I did get charged for a tire rotation

The body shop personnel do a fantastic job with my cars.

Dealership experience was excellent from salesman to finance manager. Very friendly and made purchasing smooth. PDI clean up needs some work, truck was still dirty, windows had not been cleaned, and marker lines still on wheel.

They got me matched up with a salesman same day I requested a visit. Had the car that I was interested ready to go when I got there. Salesman was knowledgeable and friendly. No pressure. Helped me make an offer and made me comfortable through the whole process. The whole team was accommodating to my schedule and worked with me to make my purchase happen on my terms and timeline.

Went has scheduled

I didn't have my vehicle serviced on 2/27/26. Also, have a check engine light that keeps coming on for emissions issues and being told Chevrolet knows there's an issue but just doesn't know how to fix it. This is a 2026 Equinox how can you not know how to fix it

Got me in and out quickly

It was nice and simple, easy going. I didn’t have any issues at all for the first time buying a car and going In blind

Our salesman was amazing!

Amazing

I’m still disappointed that you don’t do a courtesy vacuum. That would only take 10 mins of your time and means so much to the customer. We have been coming to you for service for 30 years and I would think that gesture is not asking much for our continued business.

The person that checked me in was very courteous and very helpful. She was very professional; wish I could remember her name.

Everything went fine. The staff that I interacted with are very friendly and professional.

I worked with Shane and he was exceptional. The sale and financial experience was good. However, within two days of my purchase the radio, apple carplay and dash electronics failed. NOT GOOD! I had to spend more of my time, gas, money, to return to the dealer to get what I feel is a temporary fix for this problem. If I have further problems, I will explore legal resolution to a problem that GM knows it has.

Oil change great. Tire rotation, ok. I need to bring the car back in because I’m now getting a Service Tire Monitoring system error. My big issue though is that I’ve brought the car in several times for a transmission issue that I keep getting told that there’s nothing wrong with. The transmission slips between gears and because no one at the dealership can regenerate the issue I’m just being told there isn’t anything wrong with it. I’ve tried to show a video before but was told that would not be necessary. It would have been a 5 star review if I only would not get the runaround.

Tony listened to what I wanted, then searched inventory to see what he had. Found one that we liked, he explained everything we needed to know. Figured out the details, talked to Shane in the financial dept., and drove the truck home. Time consuming but fruitful.

Had an appointment for 9, just an oil change took 2.25 hrs to complete. They worked me in after having an appointment. I do have confirmation text from Jim butler confirming my appointment at 9. I will not be back!

Communication was not the best I had to call several times to get any updates

Listed a fair price online and honored that price during visit. No games or tricks. Thats the only kind of place I'll buy from.

The service advisor Kim kept me well informed as the serviced my Blazer. She was very knowledgeable in explaining what was going on with my vehicle. Very pleasant and professional!

Easy to get done, they have many options to fit in any budget.

Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Adam in sales, and Taylor in finance did a great job, and couldn’t have been any better to work with and made the whole experience. Very easy! We are super pleased with our new truck, and would definitely visit Jim Butler Chevrolet again!

Adam was very friendly and helpful

All of the fluids got changed in record time.

Waited hours to run a code and get an oil change. Asked for update. Went to get update and they came back and just avoided me so they didn’t have to tell me the answer.

Brian o’Cheskey did an awesome job!

Professionalism and knowledge of the vehicle. How even the sales pitch wasn’t even a pressured experience. I wasn’t rushed into my vehicle.Even though I’d rather had blue one. I told the salesman that this one. I had seen online but just knew I couldn’t get. Boy was I wrong!!

Great experience with friendly staff!

Everything went pretty great from walking in to walking out. It was all straightforward and no pressure. Definitely one of the easiest dealerships I've ever dealt with!

got the deal I wanted.

We came in looking for a new vehicle and was able to find the one we were looking for.

Service writer did great, the repairs took longer than it should have because GM sent a faulty part. I don’t fault your people. I spoke with the service manager and he said he’ll look into GM getting me points for compensation for having to take time off to keep coming down for the repair. I believe it’s the least you all could do. It was an inconvenience to do so. Again, I understand it was GM’s part that was faulty, but I would like you all to do something. Thanks

The wait was extremely long for just having the Equinox serviced and tires rotated

Fast friendly service, great group of people.

The problem was corrected

The company is too big, depending on AI for communication and not responding to numerous calls and emails. Even the human employees do not get back with you!!

Customer service was excellent. They provided a great trade-in for my vehicle, easy processing and quick.

The staff and service were amazing!!

Very poor communication skills. Grease marks left inside my vehicle from diagnostics. Terrible service experience

2 hr for a oil change

Mike C personally picked up my vett and drove to Linn for service and delivered back to me

"Terrific experience overall. Shane Backues was very helpful and easygoing. He helped me get a great deal. Five stars!"

Great communication. Couldn't ask for anything else honestly.

Smooth , helpful, friendly environment.

Great

Very good service my salesman Bob was very helpful and patient and professional

Stopped in for scheduled oil change and tire rotation. All went smooth.

This vehicle has a steering issue. the first visit ended with no help at all. After speaking to the service manager he determined there is a issue and made adjustments and the issue is better. There is still something not right with the steering. Waiting on GM fix

Brian Ocheskey helped us greatly to purchase our new 2026 Tahoe. After the purchase, he explained the features of our new Tahoe in detail. Good job Brian...

New truck purchase. In and out with financing in less than 1 hour!! Thanks!

Shane went out of his way to make the purchase great.

We have purchased several new cars over last several years an always had Adam Monroe as our sales agent, he always had a great experience, he is knowledgeable and always had our needs an wants first an foremost, highly recommend Adam.

The staff was fantastic and work was completed in a timely manner. Job was well done!

Listened to what we wanted, no pressure.

Alex was absolutely amazing to work with! He helped me to figure out if I could afford the car with the 3rd row I was wanting to get. But also took the time to show me the smaller SUV. He was quick to meet my needs and when he was busy he made a point to have Steve reach out to me and help too. Steve was very helpful too! Every person I worked with was very pleasant and nice to work with. This is the kind of dealership you WANT to work with!!! No negative comments at all!

Everyone was so kind and helpful and not pushy or rushed

Easy to work with. Car picked up and dropped back off at my house as scheduled.

This is my second attempt to have issues repaired with my radio and phone connection with Apple Carplay. Total waste of time. There are known problems that GM cannot repair and I was told by one of the service personnel that there is NO permanent repair for the problem. This is a big problem.

5 stars to Brian. Very professional and explains things very thoroughly. Highly recommend.

The inventory of vehicles brought me into the dealership. I wanted to be able to see differences in person and this dealership had plenty of variety. Everything went as smooth as possible throughout the whole process of buying a new truck.

Our salesman Brian Ocheskey was great. He listened to our needs and found us what we were looking for. Excellent customer service.

Great

Brian was great to work with as usual. This is our fourth car we purchased from him. He explains everything about the paperwork and also about the car do that we can understand. Everyone is friendly. Great place to do business

I called three local dealerships. I felt Jim Butler was the only one that took me seriously and worked to get me into the truck I needed. Will definitely return if I ever need another vehicle, and will surely recommend to others.

Good service on time. Will come again

First time I've bought a vehicle in 20 years. Service was GREAT!!! Bobby was a wonderful salesman. I will definitely come back to Jim Butler and I hope Bobby will be around to help me again.

Our salesman Zach was great.

Customer service is excellent and was relatively pretty quick to do an oil change and tire rotation (about an hour). My only disappointment was when I went to get in my white truck, there was oil fingerprints on the door and all over my steering wheel (everything that a driver would touch had oil on it! I was not too happy with that and mentioned it to the service gentleman and he said they (the mechanic) are supposed to wear gloves, they may wear them but don't take them off to transport the vehicle back to the service bay. So that is my only complaint about my experience.Great people to work with!

Service was done in a prompt efficient manner.

Was great.

It took 3 trips to get the problem resolved.

Tough negotiations but landed at a fair price.

My car salesman was amazing. He made the process smooth as can be and quick. I told him where I needed to be on my trade in and the price of the car I bought and he came back with the good news that we had a deal. It’s never been that easy when buying a vehicle. Heath in finance was amazing as well.

Everyone was very helpful in finding me what I was looking for and helping to get me into the car I wanted.

Shane Backues did an amazing job as always... thank you!!

Everything went smoothly no problems

All is good.

Very pleasant.

Great deal om a truck. Salesman was very good.

Very friendly, low pressure, enjoyable experience. There's a reason why I drive 2 in a half hours to do business with my salesman Shane B amd Jim Butler Chevrolet. Thanks Shane and team!

It was great, friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, painless process.

fast, friendly, everything went well.

Service was good as far as taking care of my car but $117.00 for oil change and tire rotation is a bit much when you sit waiting for 2hrs and they don't even run your car thru the car wash. How long would that take?

The service was good. Time was fast visor was very good.

I was worked in at my convenience, which was good.

It was great. I was greeted and taken care of and was quick.

I’m so tired of the run around two times I have requested information on my vehicle and I’m still waiting 😡

The service and body shop personnel always are very efficient and communicate well.

work was done on time, service dept. personal was friendly and attentive. Thing you don't see with other local dealers. Thanks.

Excellent customer service from John Kraus. He is very knowledgeable and professional!

John Kraus found the vehicle I wanted at a fair price.

Sales rep made the process easy, clear, and zero pressure.

Good car buying experience.

Your sales person Shane Bacchus was excellent and I feel like he went above and beyond very good. Very professional great salesman finance person Shane Boyer was very professional. Great job. Great person to deal with. Can’t say a whole lot about the service department.

Everything went well

Shane Backues did a great job.

No hassle

It was awesome

I like coming here for my truck maintenance.

Salesman was okay. Seemed too busy to deal with me even though I had an appointment and came from hours away. F&I guy REALLY tried to sell warranty and almost made me late to get my kids. Told them up front I was on tight schedule.

I would not have needed the service on 9/8/2026 if they had serviced my vehicle correctly on 9/3/2026.

Fast friendly knowledgeable service

Salesman was outstanding. Bob Moritz was very knowledgeable and patient with me, a senior. Took lots of time to explain the options.

Everyone was friendly and I felt like I got a fair deal. I left the dealership feeling good.

Our Salesman Shane Backues was great to work with.

No hassle, smooth transaction.

Overall, the experience was good. The downside was that my truck was not in new truck condition when I picked it up from the dealership.

Everything was great. Only thing still waiting on Title too arrive. It been two weeks.

Brian my salesman was great to deal with no BS kind of deal. Now the financial manager (Shane) was an absolute dick head, rude, and very arrogant. Will never deal with him again. Looking forward to working with Brian in the near future.

My air filter warning was on Found out I kept a rag under hood for checking oil It was blocking air vent which caused the issue You had to hook up diagnostic to figure that out. And then charge me 229$ what a rip off. I also asked the service tech to look at tailgate button which I have to push twice every time I want to open it I also had this fixed previously He said that’s common. More bullshit I will never purchase a vehicle from Jim Butler again!!!

Brian Ocheskey was great to work with! He was ready to answer all questions that were asked. He knew all the specs on the vehicle! Thank you for making this process of buying a new vehicle a breeze!

Fantastic customer service. My second purchase from Jim Butler and will be back. I traveled from the KC area to Jim Butler because of the friendly no pressure sales and price was better than what I could get in KC

My sales person made the process very easy. Was able to negotiate a great deal over the phone. However, when I got to the dealership to pick up my car and finish paperwork, and there was no financing involved I stood at the dealership for more than two hours, waiting to complete very simple paperwork. They even knew I was coming.

Liked the service and staff that changed oil in car. I like the mobile service.

Friendly, no pressure sales

Car buying is never fun, but Tony our sales associate did a great job. Wasn’t pushy or condescending, but understood the gravity of a big purchase like a new family vehicle and a was very patient. One thing I really don’t like, but is common place these days is the pushing of extended warranty’s at paper signing. I mean I’m buying a brand new car and a finance guy is scaring me into adding a good chunk of change to my payment every month. I know things break, but come on. It really takes away from the buying experience when you come out of that office owning a brand new car, but are now supposed to worry about what will break 4 years from now.

Very satisfied

It was easy

Excellent service. Aiden was such a pleasure to work with.

Brian was terrific helping me determine which new pickup to purchase. His knowledge and patience with all my questions was outstanding. Very happy with my new purchase. I would highly recommend this dealership. Price, value and service. Thanks Brian!
