I have been fighting with them since May to refund a maintenance warranty on a 2025 Subaru. The Outback I purchased had horrible air conditioning. Stop and go traffic during summer in AZ is not the time to have hot stinky outside air blown in my face every time I accelerate. Autonation would not do me any favors on trading the car back to them even though it was still practically brand new. (All the virtue signaling branding them as a company who cares is clearly fake.) I canceled the warranty in May. I traded in the car a few weeks later. In July they were faxed proof of payment from the lienholder.
EVERY time I call, I have to wait an actual hour before someone comes on the line. For four months I have followed up on this refund. I got Subaru involved. The Subaru advocates are getting the run-around too. Today, they say they mailed a check to the lienholder. Of course, I call the lienholder and they say they sent it back to Autonation because the loan was paid in July. I don't know how to get my refund from them, but I already lost enough money on this bad situation. If I owed them $1300 they would be reporting it against my credit or repossessing a car, but I have no recourse.

Be careful of AutoNation Centennial in Las Vegas. Other branches may be fine, but these guys are extremely shady. And if anything goes wrong, it's like talking to pond scum: it won't say anything of consequence, and you'll feel dirtier for the effort.

I have owned Audis for nearly two decades and have worked with Fletcher Jones Audi for more than eight years. Yesterday my car was towed to the dealership on AutoNation’s very first day of ownership, and I can honestly say it was the worst Audi experience I have ever had. When Fletcher Jones owned the dealership, I always received prompt, proactive communication. If my car arrived overnight, I would get a call first thing in the morning—often with a diagnostic video within the hour. AutoNation was the complete opposite.
They couldn’t even locate my vehicle the next morning. I had to call at 11 a.m. before anyone realized it was there. Hours went by with no communication. When they finally did send a video, it was confusing and inconsistent: I came in for a flat tire, yet they recommended replacing two rear tires when the flat was on one of those rear tires. Nothing added up.
To make matters worse, I had to repeatedly call and text just to find out when I could pick up my car. For a luxury brand, where premier client service should be the standard, this was inexcusable. After reading AutoNation’s poor reviews nationwide, I now understand this is not an isolated incident. I cannot believe Audi approved this sale. I will not be returning, and I will gladly drive to the north suburbs for service rather than deal with AutoNation again. Absolutely horrible service.

In may 2024 bought a 2017 Nissan rogue from Auto Nation in Albuquerque. At time of purchase finance manager told us they were retired to give us a 2 year drivetrain warranty that covers stuff like engine, transmission and stuff. That’s fine. Anyway 1.5 year later battery goes out. My daughter who drives car sends receipt thinking it might cover. Which I knew it didn’t.
I look at receipt anyway and it’s only for engine. It was a flat out lie. He knew it was an e file receipt and nobody would notice. He knows nobody ever heard of just an engine warranty from a dealer while a drivetrain warranty is common place. Guys a crook be careful. Exeter finance is the financier which he didn’t reveal at time. They have reputation of being flat out criminals so there’s no doubt this was intentional.

Today we went to Autonation in Sanford and they kept my husband's driver's license and I asked them if they cand send it through an Uber and they said that they can mail it. We were in Carmax in Orlando and Dani (sales associate) she sent an Uber to Autonation in Sanford to pick up the driver's license.

I ordered some floor mats. I just happened to see an email come in and quickly disappeared to my spam folder. This email asked me to contact them and give them the amount that was charged to my credit card so they can go ahead and send the order. I called before 9:00 and the recording said they are open at 9:00 and hung up on me. I called back at 9:00 and waited 10 minutes to talk to a representative who I then gave the information you and who opened up my order to be sent to me. This is not a good way to verify that the order is good. It takes significant time and effort out of someone's day when other options would work just as well and are easier. When this happened, they lost a customer.

Did not receive sales or warranty info. Car needed repair 2 months after purchase. Took 4 individuals to get me what I needed 2 days later. Service appt was canceled, no reason. Car trim flew off, EPC and engine light on. Brakes squealing for 2 weeks, replacing them. Incompetent, unprofessional communication, disgusted by ignorance. I have been paying for a rental car for 3 weeks. Will respond to reviews in text, no gall to call and accepted accountability.

BUYER BEWARE..... Just go to a different dealership and thank me later. Multiple issues regarding a trade-in for a new vehicle. "We took a loss on your trade-in truck, so there's nothing we can do about the issues with your brand-new vehicle" was one of the comments.

We found a vehicle on the AutoNation website that we liked and that was in our state so we reached out to the dealership and proceeded with the purchase. The vehicle was in Englewood Colorado, which is Two hours away from our location, but we were forced to drive to Canon city, which is an additional hour and a half further, in order to pick up the vehicle. Meaning they sent a driver to Englewood to drive the vehicle further away from us to Canon city. The sales experience was less than ideal. Sales persons customer service was lacking not to mention the financing department who wasn't completely sure how to run the computer. Service after the sale is very poor… Reached out via email and phone several different times to our sales person and have yet to receive any answers to our question and this vehicle was purchased in June. Wouldn't recommend this company.

I put $500 down to hold a vehicle. Then was told needed another transmission & they were going to replace. From 8/6/25 to 8/20/25, nothing has been done. Requesting refund for my deposit. They don't communicate and don't know very much. No one is contacting you about anything and they act as if they're doing you a favor when I'm the one trying to make the purchase and could easily go some place. Now I'm being told it's going to take 14 to 30 days to be refunded my $500 deposit. Please do not go to Autonation USA, 14111 Gulf Fwy, Houston, TX 77034. You will be very disappointed. They don't know anything about doing business or taking care of customers. Awful experience and hope this helps so no one else has to deal with them.

When you buy a vehicle from AutoNation, their corporate office forces every dealer to tag on $10,000 on top of financing. Trust me. I went through the process and learned the hard way. I wouldn't buy Donald Trump a vehicle at AutoNation and that says a lot. I would give less than a zero review. If you have the vehicle shipped in from around the United States if it has damage, they will try to repair it before you see the vehicle. If you catch them in the act they will not report the damage to Carfax. They would rather sell it at a loss than be reviewed.

AutoNation warranty claims group is the absolute worst set of people I have ever dealt with! They purposely make things as difficult as possible and try their best to make you frustrated and give up so they don't have to honor their claims. I bought cosmetic wheels coverage (if a wheel gets scratched or dinged up they fix it) and have gotten nothing but run around and obstacles. In particular, Angela, in the Tires and Wheels department was the most condescending person I have have ever dealt with. Terrible customer service from a company that claims to pride themselves on that very trait.

We live in Oklahoma City and purchased our BMW from AutoNation BMW in Dallas. Vehicle was ordered and was delivered without the brake calipers being painted which we bought and paid for. When vehicle was delivered, we were told they would just send us the money $800 to get the brakes calipers painted locally in OKC. We are now 6 weeks removed, and no money has been received. I have contacted Mr ** the GM, and he assured me the issue would be resolved. That was 2 weeks ago.
I have now contacted BMW North America. They have responded in an email stating they will get back with me within the next few weeks. All in all, I paid over 100 k for a new BMW 7 series, and it is still not as ordered. All very disappointing. I think the dealership just hopes I will go away, that is not happening. Poor customer service, poor communication, and very poor follow up.

Because you sold a faulty vehicle to start with! Mr. ** displayed NO sense of responsibility and told me, “Cars break every day”. He treated me with contempt and was quite angry and not once did he apologize.
I have contacted the Colorado Dealer’s Board, CO attorney general’s office and the big-shots at AutoNation as well as my attorney and others. Left a negative review on Yelp and I’m just getting started. Avoid this dealership if you want fair treatment. The auto industry has a bad reputation because of people like **.

I went to AutoNation on Research Blvd in Austin Texas, Traded my truck in and got a another truck the truck I got was a 2020 Chevrolet. It looked like a nice truck and right after my 1st payment it broke down. All the lights went on. Check engine brake lights traction control etc.. I called the office spoke to the service agent. Said they do not have loaner cars available. They had 38 people in line waiting for a loaner car. So I proceeded to drive the truck back to the house. I got the warranty on it and the GAP. Called again and the service manager said for me to take it somewhere else and go rent a car. Well now they want to sell me another truck that's doing the same thing and he wants to raise my payments on the truck they are giving me now. I'll never buy from them again. Very bad business! NEVER AGAIN. BBB IS GOING TO GET A CALL!

We bought a 2018 Kia Optima last year and we’ve had nothing but problems since day one. We’ve fixed the same issue three times since October. I have a special needs brother that lives with me and now I don’t even have a car to take him to his doctor's appointment because surprise, surprise our Kia is messed up again. Auto Nation should NEVER have sold that car in the first place. It should’ve been junked. I would never recommend AutoNation to my worst enemy.

Hi, I did considerable research before buying a Volvo. I was told I could purchase the XC60 PHEV online and have it delivered to my house since the car is in San Jose California, and I live in Florence Oregon. I even had my local dealership Sheppard Motors try to get the car for me. Autonation San Jose never returned any contact. On July 2, 2025, I wired $76,660.93 to Autonation San Jose and they sent me some forms to DocuSign. On July 8, I was forced to spent over $800 to fly to Autonation Bellevue in Washington to complete the signing. It has now been 15 days since then and I still don’t have my car. They have my money, so I want my car. They are now blaming it on the transport company.
I am extremely dissatisfied with this entire process and Autonation San Jose. I really feel that they have been very dishonest, deceitful and unprofessional. I have also informed Volvo of this matter. Had I known that it would be such a hassle to purchase one, I would have bought another brand, but San Jose had the exact car I wanted. I will be contacting someone for legal advice.

Horrible communication, delayed paperwork, lack of concern.... Was told paperwork would be mailed out on a Thursday. Didn't get sent out till the following Monday. Then they messed up the amount they validated on my Pre-Approval that took 2 days to fix.... They lied and said they set up transfer to ship my vehicle to VA but couldn't tell me when the driver was going to pick it up or drop it off. I ended up having to hire an outside shipper which is also a disaster. I would never do business with them again.

I purchased a “Worry-Free” 2014 Ford F-150 from AutoNation Subaru of Scottsdale on May 23, 2025. Less than a month later, multiple certified shops confirmed the truck needed $12,000–$16,000 in major repairs — suspension, turbochargers, cooling system, and high-mileage maintenance — all of which had been identified in an inspection just weeks before AutoNation sold it to me. Despite claiming every vehicle undergoes a “rigorous inspection” and is “ready for the open road,” they sold me this truck without disclosing any of these issues.
I notified them on June 16 with full documentation and offered to resolve it privately. They acknowledged the report — and then disappeared. No follow-up. No help. Want proof? I’ve posted the full story, inspection reports, dealer communications, and images at 👉 **. Buy your next vehicle somewhere else. Don’t make my $18,000 mistake.

Lemon Law Complaint – Mercedes-Benz of Delray Beach / AutoNation / Sedgwick. I leased a brand-new Mercedes from Mercedes-Benz of Delray Beach, Florida, in September 2023. Just three months later, on December 28, 2023, the car completely stopped working. Mercedes-Benz held the vehicle for over 90 days, unable to diagnose or fix the issue. Given the repeated failure to repair and the extended time out of service, I filed a Florida State Lemon Law claim. The vehicle was officially deemed a lemon.
Mercedes-Benz and AutoNation referred my case to Sedgwick Insurance, their claims handler. Sedgwick has made every step of the process unnecessarily difficult. They falsely claimed I owed money for add-ons already incorporated into my lease payments and refused to reimburse me for the value of my trade-in, which I had used toward the lease. As a result, I had no choice but to hire a lawyer.
It is now June 17, 2025 — and this simple lemon law case remains unresolved. Meanwhile, I’ve made 23 lease payments, and the car, which has only 2,800 miles, sits unused in my driveway. This is a disgraceful abuse of the lemon law process. AutoNation and Sedgwick have demonstrated complete disregard for consumer rights, accountability, and fair dealing.

I brought my truck in after a generous offer online was given….. Waited almost 3 hours, for them to come back and low ball me, offering 7k less than the original offer…. Keep in mind, when they gave me the original offer, they hadn’t included all the upgrades I have on my truck… and they told me that over the phone! These people were never going to give me face value even… I will never in my life step foot on this property again. I advise you not to either. They lure you in with a great offer to buy, fully knowing they are not going to honor it.
