Awesome buying experience!! I recommend bannister gm to anyone looking for a need vehicle. Riley and Jason were informative and very helpful!
Very happy with our new to us truck. Only thing was seats should have been deep cleaned as can still smell previous owner smoker in truck. Riley was very good sales man.
Owen Smith is an absolute gem of a salesman. Flexible, patient and knowledgeable, and supported by an incredible staff. Would definitely visit again!
We found Bannister GM good to deal with. All the staff were courteous and helpful and the sale went smoothly. We’re loving our new truck, Thankyou Bannister GM
On vacation when the service engine light came on. We stopped at Bannister to get it checked. We got it checked, met Benj the service manager that had ties to home, were invited for lunch at their customer appreciation bbq and were back on the road in no time. Awesome friendly service!
Riley and Jason did an amazing job getting my grandson into his first car. They explain everything to the both of us. If you want to be treaded with respect, thiis the place to go. First time buyer and the time and energy from banister was the best. If you need a car this is the place to go
Owen was awesome to deal with!
We bought our 2021 gmc 2500 denali from owen at the edson gm dealership which is part of the bannister group. Owen was an awesome salesman to deal with,never pushy and if we had questions he would make sure we got answers. Then when we went to finalize the deal Jason was extremely helpful more then any other finance guy I have ever dealt with buying vehicles ever. He was not only helpful in making decisions but also encouraged us to ask the hard questions with factual infomation so that we could make the informed decision. Would We buy another vehicle from bannister gm.......most definitely aaa+ experience with no hassle. Kep up the great work
Every time I take my truck in, I have great results. The staff are very friendly and take time to make me feel at home. I have been going in their for 9 years.
Great service department! I had some work done at Don Wheaton Chevrolet in Edmonton, less than a month later I broke down in Edson. Bannister service department verified it was a failure of previous work done by Don Wheaton. They did all repairs under warranty & let me use a loaner suv while I waited for repairs.Great service department they kept me updated & did the work quickly accommodating my schedule.
Thanks for the great service Dave and Riley. Riley was incredibly helpful and made the purchase so stress free. We enjoyed the drive back home in our comfortable new Buick! Thanks to all for the great experience!!! We will keep you guys in mind for future purchases.
I have to give credit to Owen who was my sales representative. I ordered a truck to get exactly what I wanted. It took a little longer than we had hoped to come in through NO fault of theirs. However, Owen kept me updated every single step of the way. He replied to my every call, text and email without any hesitation for months on end, and there were a lot. Banister was also very good at honouring our deal on trade and purchase price even after 6 months of time. This was a hand shake deal and this is how they do business. That is not the most common thing in today’s world, and why I would highly recommend them.
From the sales team to service to parts and all the hardworking people in between. BANNISTER has always treated me fair and has a great reputation for their service.
Owen Smith was extremely helpful! I reached out to him when I was looking for a new vehicle and he helped me with deciding on the best options. He was helpful with suggestions on what would be best suitable for me and showed me many different options. He definitely helped steer me in the right direction when choosing a new vehicle!
Very friendly and quick they always are ! Every time I go there!
Just bought a 24 Silverado 1500 from Riley in sales and have to say he gave a great experience from start to finish he even delivered it personally up here to Grande Prairie! Jason in finance was great to deal with for the paperwork side of things and very informative about my options. All in all I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new vehicle!
Bought a 3.0L trailboss here. Great experience! Jason made life super easy for me and was a breeze to deal with! 100% recommend Bannister!
Had a great experience,our salesman Owen was awesome to deal with I would highly recommend this dealership.
I recently bought a 3500 AT4 from this dealer. They provided excellent service and a were a pleasure to deal with. They gave me an excellent trade in value and their prices for the new truck were competitive. A special thanks for Owen. He’s a top notch sales guy and easy to work with. I needed to get the truck quickly so he personally drove it down at short notice. He also checked in to see how we are enjoying the truck. He’s a genuine guy, which can be rare in the car dealership world.
Took our vehicle for an electrical repair. It wasn’t fixed quickly, but it was a complex datalink problem that we were told upfront might take some time to pinpoint. We were treated extremely well and our bill for the repair was a lot less than we had originally expected. I will be using them again.
Great customer service
The smoothest new vehicle purchase I've experienced to date. I felt well-informed about everything, nothing hidden and was given ample opportunity to consider the facts and the numbers before making the decision to purchase.
Service department is amazing. Recommend if your in the area.
Very accommodating and helpful.
Thanks to the new salesman Owen, I had a very pleasant experience, and would definitely recommend this dealership to others
Owen was super great to deal with and extremely helpful in getting me what i wanted!!
Very good service any questions I had for being my first time buying a new truck where answered.
I purchased my new GMC Sierra 3500 AT4 premium at Bannister, Owen looked after my purchase and I cannot say enough about his professionalism, and knowledge on all the Bells and whistles my new truck came with, he also walked me through all the features and set up the Driver control centre, he even stayed a bit late into his shift to ensure I was informed and comfortable with this amazing truck. From arriving to driving away with a huge smile, the whole team (Reception, Sales, Finance, Service and the Parts Department made me feel rite at home, as they have always done in the past. I would highly recommend Bannister Edson for all you Vehicle needs.Thank you again Team Bannister Edson.
purchase was smooth and Bannister had just the truck I was looking for.
Owen is very attentive to the details customers are wanting, if they don’t have it on the lot, and you want it, he makes sure to get it for you. Well mannered, and very professional to deal with. Thank you 🙂
Awesome sauce. Bannister was a friendly environment will be coming again. Owen especially great
I spoke with Riley about their vehicles and he was very knowledgeable and charismatic!
Stopped by because I like looking at trucks that I can’t yet afford, Riley showed me around and was very knowledgeable about all the vehicles on the lot. Looking forward to coming back and buying a vehicle from him when I’m ready to make a purchase!
Went into Bannister GM, Owen was a great help and got me all the information i needed fast and efficiently.
Such a friendly place the second you walk in your greeted with smiling staff. Ceanna was very knowledgable and great to speak with about vehicle options. Definitely recommend.
Had an awesome experience with the salesman Riley, highly recommend stopping in!
Owen listened to what I wanted to, was able to communicate to the manager and handled the sale of my vehicle to Bannister in an efficient manner.I received what I felt was fair market value and it took less time than trying to sell on my own.Thank you Owen Smith and the Bannister team.
Awesome!
My husband and I bought our 2023 Chevy Equinox Premiere from here and our dealer Ceanna was amazing! She was extremely helpful and explained everything to us as we went through the process, any questions we had she was great with answers, she helped us get everything we needed for our trade in and purchase and it went so smoothly thanks to her. The car itself is perfect and we can't be happier!
Have you ever walked into a dealership and felt like you were intruding? Not here! I was greeted like they’d been waiting for me and happy that I arrived. Thanks for the fantastic service!
Loved my whole experience with you guys! The communication was wonderful! The vehicle I’m driving now is perfectly suitable for our family. Thank you so much for your outstanding customer service. Katie & Jason were outstanding to work with!Definitely will be recommending friends and family to you.
We purchased a used vehicle from Bannister Dave was our sales person. Very professional and we are extremely satisfied! Would definitely recommend.
My husband and I bought a 2022 GMC Terrain from Dave. This isn’t our first vehicle that we had bought from him. Dave makes the process of buying a vehicle not stressful then what we experienced with other dealerships. Dave is honest about everything and is very understanding of what our needs and wants were.Jason is the individual we dealt with in regards to financing/warranty. He made it clear as to what we would be getting for the price we would be paying.We can’t thank Dave, Jason and Bannister GM enough for making the purchases we have made with them so easy!
my experiences has been great and all my other issues have been looked after
Great people! Great service!

What service they provide. Great staff.
In town for work and my truck began acting up, the service department was amazing at getting me back on the road and worked with me the whole way through. I am very thankful of the personnel there and their caring attitude. Amazing experience!
After my truck derated I dropped it off after hours at Bannister. I live in Edmonton.The service was top notch. Got my truck back better than ever, fixed my derate, plus all the diesel tsb's after it was into my regular dealership week prior.Great service!
Excellent experience with knowledgeable staff and superior service.
What can I say about bannister GM?? They were very accommodating in scheduling my service. This particular service had to do with an airbag recall on my vehicle. They were proactive in reaching out to me to look after this issue. They were flexible in scheduling and allowing me to drop off the vehicle at my convenience. The service was completed very promptly and all of the staff had great attitudes and we’re very kind. I appreciate that from the service department and look forward to doing business again with Bannister GM.
Excellent as always. Friendly staff and fast, professional service. I didn’t have an appointment, but they still got me in and took care of the repairs I needed. I was kept informed on the progress and the work was completed as fast as it could be.
Very happy with the service department. They got me in on short notice for an oil change. Nice clean service bays and show room. Staff friendly and helpful. Covid protocols adhered to.
Kevin, Jason and Doug were fantastic - super accommodating and willing to work with us on so many levels. We did everything before even stepped foot in the store and it was as seamless as possible. Highly recommended!
Bannister - Edson is a very professional operation. The Service Department is the flagship area of the business with Benj Braun and his team of Darla and Lauryn making you feel like a very valued client. Although Benj Braun was not on the premises, the team continued to function at the highest level of professionalism. Special efforts made by the Service Team make you feel as a valued customer. The knowledge and professionalism by the entire team compliments the leadership demonstrated by Benj Braun whether he is there or not..An excellent business to work with.
Very prompt and friendly service. The advisors and Techs there are top notch!
Nothing but great things about Dave S at Bannister GM in Edson! I was searching for a specific vehicle which happened to be on site in Edson. Dave and I communicated for a couple of months on the vehicle and finally the day came that I could buy it. They were all ready for me as soon as I got there and everything was quick and efficient. I love my new Buick. Thank you Dave and the team at Bannister GM
Picked up a new GMC Sierra Elevation at the end of May. Overall the service was good. The online ad was a little miss leading and wasn't spec exactly like the truck on location, but wasn't disappointed with what was provided and very happy with my purchase. This also wasn't hidden by the dealership that the online ads can vary slightly based on options and that the ads go up prior to receiving the trucks at the dealership when I asked the question. If I asked the question, Steven had a reasonable answer.Traded a 2017 Canyon with this purchase, the trade-in value was fair for the mileage, and Jason with finance was very friendly, upfront and answered all my questions to my satisfaction!
Drove right in to the quick lube without waiting. They serviced and did the inspection and was on my way. Thanks for the fast, efficient and friendly service.
