I had a great experience with sales consultant Henry ** from when I drove in at AutoNation. I parked my car with my family and I got off my car. I saw a gentleman by the front door of the dealership. I confronted the guy. I asked him, "Do you work here," and I asked him I'm looking for salesman because I'm looking for a truck or Crossover and Henry politely said, "I'm a sales consultant and I can help you." So I said great. I asked I'm looking for an suv fwd and showed me a couple of trucks. And he also welcomed me to auto nation. So he told me the details and pricing of every truck and mileage wise. He was very patient and knowledgeable with every truck because I asked him different questions about if was and or fwd and he answered my questions and he found a nice color that I was interested he brang me inside so I be more comfortable and sat me down. Asked to relax.
He was going to bring the truck to the front so me and my wife can see the truck inside and out which was fantastic and he even offered me coffee and water and cookies which was really nice of him. He made me and my wife and me and my daughter very comfortable inside the facility. He wasn't pushy at all but all but professional in every way. Then we found the truck we liked and he started the paperwork for me and my wife and he gathered all the prices with the finance manager. His name was Javier. Also a very professional experience from him as well and he was very patient with all the paperwork and signing of all documents. We were out of there in record time and they even gave me 2 free oil changes and explained to me about my contract or any concerns I had.
And Henry also sent my truck to get detailed and full free tank of gas which was also awesome. And Henry also surprised me with nice rubber mats front and rear which was very nice. Henry was with me from start to finish and also gave me real license plates to leave the dealership that was fantastic. Henry also showed me all the functions of the vehicle and headlights switches and lights in the rear making sure all brake lights and turning signals worked and headlights which was really nice of him. He really went the extra mile. Henry is a fantastic sales consultant and very knowledgeable and has a lot of patience in dealing with customers. Henry was very down to earth. I give Henry ** 5 stars.
And Javier the finance manager was very professional and very helpful and he also went the extra mile. I will recommend auto nation and these 2 professional salesman Henry ** and Javier the finance manager. To my my family and friends and the staff is also very friendly and nice. I dealt comfortable in the facility. And every one had a smile in their face which felt very comfortable for me and my wife. Auto nation is the place to go for car or truck 100% guaranteed. Awesome dealership. Auto nation is a 5 star rating all the way.

I just wanted to say, I've been looking for a used pickup truck for about 3 months, and I felt with a lot of sales people from different dealerships and by far the hardest working salesman for me was a young man named Abel at the AutoNation in Avondale. He wasn't pushy but sent me links almost daily of trucks like I was looking for. He was super polite and straight with me and I appreciate it. Rare qualities these days.

Great Experience at AutoNation 2797 Auto Collision and Repair, Maple Ave, Dallas TX. July 2025. Good repair work completed on time. They handled all the Insurance Chatter so I didn't have to. A special shout out to Jaimi ** who handled Estimation, Customer Service, and Communication. Very professional. I would come to this repair center again without hesitation.

I’ve seen a majority of negative reviews for this company, but on further reading I noticed most these reviews are for locations other than the Sanford, Florida location. I had been looking for a specific vehicle for my specific needs, after searching for about 4 or 5 months, I saw my future vehicle online, I was a bit wary as most vehicles had an extreme high mileage over 150k, but this vehicle, wasn’t only on the low mileage range but it was exactly what I was looking for, no accidents, one owner, maintenance records available and low mileage for the year, a 2013 Toyota Sienna SE with all the bells and whistles (that was a bonus I was not expecting) with under 130k miles and the PRICE, unbeatable for the vehicle under 11k.
I called and spoke with several people but the one person that I was in constant communication was Mr. **, he is a laid back let the product speak for itself kind of person, he made my journey so easy, comfortable and I felt safe with him, knowing that this purchase would be worth it. I need to say I’ve never bought a vehicle online before, so for me this was a first, buying a vehicle sight unseen, I finally secured a ride to the Sanford location in Florida and between the sales man Mr. **, the financing young lady, she explained everything in detail and double checked everything to make sure I was completely satisfied, they stayed at my target payments without trying to upsell anything, giving me options instead (ensuring I felt I was in control of my financial decisions), the location manager and the location mechanic, I truly felt they were selling to a beloved family member.
I took my baby home, YES YES I purchase the minivan, and as I got home (it was nighttime), I noticed a few issues (4 to be exact), I called them I told them and THEY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING, every single issue, mind you these vehicles no matter where you go if used is ALWAYS ALWAYS, AS IS. They have found in me a loyal client and a walking billboard.
I’ve told all my friends, family and anyone who will listen that for their future vehicle purchases to go to Autonation USA Sanford Florida. From Reception as soon as I walk in, to, Mr. ** (sales), Mr. ** (manager), The Mechanic (I apologize I forgot his name). The mobile mechanic, ** (yes they came out to my house), and he stayed until I was completely satisfied, all these people are wonderful and they make sure the consumer has an incredible experience, they don’t care about just selling a vehicle, they care about their reputation, customer service, support and satisfaction. They make sure they are on TOP.

I recently met with Brad, service dept. Director at Chevy AutoNation after a 0 review. He requested I come in and explain which I appreciated. He listened, was kind and took notes so he could improve the situation. He agreed there was a communication failure and was willing to improve the situation in the future. He seemed sincere and expected excellent customer service.
I took my Malibu back 2day to replace a catalytic converter. It arrived at 8:10 a.m. and we're told it would be 2-3 hours but due to some issues it took around 8. We didn't pick it up because our 2nd car was in use and I had no way to pick it up until morning. I was called and notified which was appreciated and left a message for the Director. I do wish that someone would have let us know that the job was going to take a lot longer than expected. I am giving a 4 because the dealership is trying to improve and resolve issues. I want to wait and see how our future issues are handled before I give a 5. I believe it is a good dealership and Edgar, Jacob, and Taylor were very good during my sale.

If I could give them negative stars, I certainly would! I bought two Mercedes from Fort Lauderdale AutoNation Mercedes within six months. On the last deal I traded in two cars. Make a long story short. Can you believe that they supposedly paid off one car two months later than cancel the check and so I still continue to have to make payments on it?! Finally, the company was paid off just before the third payment was due. However, since AutoNation paid the last payment, the overage got sent back to AutoNation. I reached out to a manager, who said he would CC me his name is Mo by the way after dealing with another manager who also got nothing done on another situation.
Two weeks later, Moe has not gotten back to me and I still have not received payment and I have never received an email or any return phone calls. And I have made three of them and left messages after each. This place is a scam. AutoNation only wants your money. Once they have it, they don’t give a you know what about taking care of your needs! It’s a shame because I have bought many many cars from here, but I will never buy again from an AutoNation company.

Submitted my car car online and got an offer. Asked to come in to look at the vehicle and they confirmed the offer and agreed to sell them the car. They proceeded to make me wait 2 hours and 45 minutes for them to complete their portion of the work while helping several others who came in after. You could see I was not the only who had been kept waiting a long time. I dealt with the employee Nerses at the Encino location. Finally left with a Venmo in the account. It's been two weeks since the sale and I just checked the DMV. They have not filed the transfer of liability that they swore up and down the would take care of. I asked at time of sale and wanted to do it myself, but they insisted. Supposed to be done within five days of sale. I called and they said Nerses would call back right away. That was yesterday, no call. Did it myself online. Just a crappy experience overall, but car sold.

These people have no shame, plain and simple, they told me to claim my titles after I paid my car in full, in the DMV, like I paid my car to them. Oh, and this person sent inquiries to more than 16 lenders to ruin your credit. Totally disappointed.

Tried to sell used car. Was told they usually give close to estimate. It's a come on. Don't waste your time there. Offer was less than half what they said and I was honest in my descriptions. Stay away from them if you want a fair price.

On February 26, 2026, AutoNation Ford Sanford issued a written $69,500 Certified Offer to purchase my 2023 Audi SQ7, valid for 7 days or 500 miles. The offer was manually increased by salesperson David Rodriguez and confirmed by both text message and the official Certified Offer document. Despite repeated documented attempts to redeem the offer before it expired on March 5, including emails to the salesperson, multiple phone calls requesting a management callback, a direct email to General Manager Ryan **, multiple online chat escalations, and escalations to AutoNation Corporate, the dealership never responded. The offer expired.
Because the offer was never rescinded or corrected, I relied on it in good faith when evaluating my options for the disposition of my vehicle and a potential replacement purchase. That reliance was reasonable given that a written guarantee had been issued. Being harmed when the offer expired through no fault of my own while the issuing dealership remained silent is detrimental reliance in practice.
AutoNation Corporate's March 12 response claimed I had been "notified of this discrepancy" regarding a pricing error before I attempted to redeem the offer. That claim is false. No documentation has been produced to support it. Their response also implies I knowingly attempted to redeem an offer I had been told was invalid, which calls into question the integrity of a disabled veteran who did nothing but make repeated documented good faith attempts to complete a transaction.
AutoNation Corporate's own conduct contradicts their stated position. The day before expiration, they called me and committed to scheduling a redemption appointment at this store. If the offer had already been invalidated and I had been notified, that call would not have happened. They proposed a $62,000 goodwill offer conditioned on signing a release of claims. I did not accept it. Issuing a written certified offer, allowing it to remain active without correction or withdrawal, and then claiming after the fact that it was never valid while producing no supporting documentation is precisely the conduct Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act is designed to address.
This matter is currently under formal review by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles dealer licensing division, the Florida Attorney General's Office, and the Better Business Bureau. AutoNation submitted their disputed response to the BBB late Friday night requesting the case be closed before their own deadline passed. I rejected their response and the case remains open. As a disabled veteran who acted in good faith throughout, I deserved better than two weeks of silence followed by a response containing an unsubstantiated claim. The issuing dealership chose silence over resolution at every turn.
