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!

Michael went above and beyond; he was extremely easy to talk to. I let him know right at the start this was my budget on a used vehicle for my daughter, and it was literally right there. I was amazed because I have bad credit. I've been to other dealerships, and we go through everything, but then at the end, the payments are not nearly what we discuss, so it was a BIG change, and I'm already planning to get my next kid a vehicle from Michael. THANKS.

Hello my name is Amanda ** and my husband Brandon ** retired veteran recently, 3 months ago purchased a 2020 Land Rover Discovery. Upon purchase my husband did a test drive but was told not to go onto the highway. When they got back to the dealership, my husband was overall happy with the vehicle and expected they did their 165 point inspection and he bought the vehicle. Later on a couple weeks later once we started driving on the highway driving approximately 70 miles an hour the vehicle stayed shaking.
My husband then looked at the tires and realized that the tires were not the grade that Land Rover tires usually come with. They were iron man tires as opposed to the Pirelli’s that Land Rover usually has. He brought the car to the dealership and he expressed his concerns about the vehicle and the shaking. They told him that it was the brakes. He said OK so they fixed the brakes and it did not fix the issue. A couple weeks later he’s driving down the road and the tread fell off of the back passenger tire on the highway, and when my husband put the spare on the vehicle, the spare was even a Pirelli spare.
Now I understand that we bought a used vehicle however we bought the used vehicle from a reputable dealership expecting to be put in a safe vehicle not a negligent unsafe vehicle. Thank goodness we did not have an accident and I was not driving and thank goodness nobody got hurt. My husband talked to the GM and he pretty much said not there is nothing he was going to do and did not want to help whatsoever they did. They did switch out the tire that the tread fell off of which caused major damage to the vehicle as you could assume and but however, they put another H rated tire on it, but they said it was a Bridgestone so it was it was. It should be fine. Now Land Rover should only have a V or a W graded tire being that it goes being that the torque and how fast the vehicle goes. We also went back to the lot and noticed a lot of tires tire had been changed out on nice luxury vehicles as ours was. Buyer beware!!

Hello. I would like to share my experience with AutoNation regarding a 2017 Chevy Sonic that I purchased at AutoNation Tempe on 10/22/2024. The vehicle was parked until March 2025, as it was a gift for my grandson’s birthday. Shortly after he began driving the vehicle, the check engine light came on. We were told we had to take it to the AutoNation Mesa service center on 07/28/2025. They stated that there were codes that needed to be repaired, and we took their word for it. We paid $1,189.36 out of pocket.
On 08/07/2025, the check engine light came on again. We returned the vehicle, and they stated additional codes had appeared and that repairing them would resolve the issue. We paid an additional $672.51 out of pocket. We picked up the vehicle on 08/28/2025, and the following day the check engine light came back on. We tried reaching them again, but at this point we were ignored. We finally took the vehicle to Courtesy Chevrolet and had to pay additional money. We were informed that AutoNation had not resolved the check engine light issues. Courtesy repaired the problem, and the vehicle has been working since. I regret not taking my vehicle there in the first place.
I reached out to AutoNation, and they reviewed the case. They stated that when we picked the vehicle up, the check engine issue was resolved. I tried to explain that if that were true, the light would not have come on three separate times and only been resolved after taking it to Courtesy Chevrolet. They did not want to take responsibility, and it appears we were charged for repairs that were not needed. I simply want others to be aware of how this company operates. I regret purchasing my vehicle there, and I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Do not buy Auto Nation extended warranty. It is a complete joke. I purchased a 3800.00 gold warranty on 2021 Chevy Silverado. Owned truck for 1 year of 72 month finance. I have waited over 2 months for them to refund my warranty refund. Called at least 6 times, always 10th in cue no matter time of day. Left numerous messages and emails. Today I finally get thru and was informed I will be receiving 432.00 whenever they mail it out. Could not confirm a date for the mailing. This is a complete joke. I have bought numerous cars from auto Nation and will never buy again. I will pass this experience on to everyone even thinking about a purchase from them. Buy your own warranty from a third party seller. Buyer beware!

My husband and went to look at Mercedes at Coconut Creek AutoNation. We decided to buy out our lease. We then purchased all the warranties. Two months later we were in a horrible car accident that totaled the car. Since August we have been trying to get our money back from the warranty from auto nation. They have come up with every excuse under the sun to not give us the money we are owed. They claim they are waiting for our bank to send them paper work asking for the money. We have no balance at the bank. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM AUTO NATION IN COCONUT CREEK.

I was talked into buying warranty I didn't need worth over &6,000.00. I called the Autonation Ford dealership in St Petersburg. They said they will take care of it, waited 2 weeks and they never did. I then stopped in person only to be told that they don't do this that I had to call myself, which I did and was told the dealership where I purchase the car needs to call them. I will now call the Better Business Bureau. Don't buy a car from this dealership!!!!!
