    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.

      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.

      I recently had the pleasure of working with Kathryn ** at AutoNation in Chattanooga, TN, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with her professionalism, technical expertise, and outstanding customer service. From our very first interaction, Kathryn was attentive and truly listened to our needs. We needed to sell our 2013 RAM 1500 4X4 to purchase a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, and Kathryn guided us through the entire process with ease. Her knowledge of the market and understanding of our situation allowed her to secure the funds we wanted for our truck, which was a significant relief.

      What truly sets Kathryn apart is her exceptional communication skills. She kept us informed at every step, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions. Her friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable, and we really appreciated her dedication to helping us find the right solution for our needs. Even after the sale, Kathryn continued to provide support, demonstrating her commitment to her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn ** at Auto Nation for anyone looking for a smooth and successful vehicle sale or purchase experience. Thank you, Kathryn, for your remarkable service!

      My wife and I purchased a vehicle from AutoNation and bought the extended warranty. Unfortunately, my wife was involved in a head-on collision and the car was a total loss and completely totaled by the guy party's insurance. I reached out to cancel and get my prorated reimbursement for my extended warranty. I completed the form and sent the documents as requested and on Dec 19, I received an email that said I would be getting my check via USPS in 6-8 weeks. I checked back in to find out my refund amount and was told they needed a payoff letter from my lender. Last Thursday, Feb 12th, I drove 2 and a half hours one way to get the payoff letter showing I owed the lender nothing and emailed it on the 13th. I was told by your representative that I would get my check within 48 hrs via FedEx.

      Those 48 hours passed, so I called back and was told they needed another letter from a representative from the lender, and they would hear back and send my check within 48 hours. Those 48 hours passed this morning, so I sent an email asking for an update. I did not get a response. I called back tonight, trying to get an explanation in which we went around in circles, and I was told she didn't have time to explain it. I still have no idea when I might receive my $4,084.10 that is owed to me by Autonation… I asked to speak to a manager and they was told they would have them call when they get a chance…. This has been the worst customer service I have ever received.

      I made an online request for a quote, agreed to their terms, then showed up at their "Land Rover" location on Topanga Cyn. The team at Land Rover was unaware of the appointment. After questioning me and not trusting that I was in the right place, which required me to use my laptop to pull up the appointment notice, they said I had to go to a different location at the other end of the valley. I decided to cut my losses and moved on. The following day, another salesperson called and asked for information and said he would meet me at my office, but he never materialized. I would avoid them.

      AutoNation Chevy on the Gulf Freeway in Houston, Texas has the worst customer service I have ever had in terms of Sales and Service. They lost my registration plates originally and it took me 5 months to get them. When I received a recall notice, I scheduled an appointment two weeks in advance. On the day of the appointment, I got there early and they checked me in and told me to come back in about 90 minutes. I did as instructed and upon arrival, I noticed that my truck had not been worked on at all. The girl who checked me in could not explain why no one worked on my truck. I asked for a manager. He came out and told me he could not explain why it wasn't worked on. He did this with an attitude of I don't care. I asked him if he was the manager in charge of auto repairs. He said he was. I then asked how can you not know why the truck was not worked on. He didn't have an answer and did not care. So I left and went to another Chevy dealership.

      THE WORST CUSTOMER follow through I have ever experienced in my 70 years! Trying to work with ANY...AS IN A N Y SALES person on Internet sales or floor sales is an experience that one feels at the end... Well, that is time that was total freaking waste! And times that by 4 days trying to get an answer. Management needs to have the ass handed to them by corporate! AutoNation sales employees would have a tough time at McDonald's figuring out what sack the fries goes into! Idiots is a kind word. I am surprised AutoNation continues in business when the staff is so absolutely utterly incompetent!

      Cash Price posted on the Jeep Autonation Website is False. I drove 460 miles to purchase a New Jeep Gladiator from Autonation Jeep in North Richland Hills. They had 7 models I was I wanted. 1st choice 3 with exact color and trim package I wanted. I thought good I just need one. I showed Javier ** the Manufacturer's sticker I printed from the website, gave him the stock number of all 3 Red Mojave Jeep Gladiators. He introduced me to his manager. All were the same and all were available. $44,909.00 cash price listed on the website. Test drove everything then he reveals the Scam.

      The Dealership claims to have added over $4,000.00 add-ons to the already well-equipped vehicle. I said what about the other two. Same story. Pulled out my second choice Blue Rubicon, they had 4 all similar, two marked $43,792.00, other $44,062.00. Javier said same story, all had over $4,000.00 worth of add-on that are not listed on the website. I then said why is that not listed? Javier's response 'You would not have come in.' Manager and Javier both confirmed they would not sell any of the models for the Advertised Cash price. My response "This is False advertising, and I won't be back".
