    This review is specifically for the service department…read more I've been coming here for quite some time, and working with Miguel has truly made all the difference. Out of all the service advisors I've encountered across Mercedes-Benz dealerships, he stands out as the most honest, detail-oriented, and consistent. He takes the time to answer every question thoroughly and keeps me updated throughout the entire process--which, in my experience, is not always the standard elsewhere. That level of transparency and communication is something I really value. The rest of the team is equally professional and welcoming! It's clear the department is well run. Car service is never something you look forward to, but Miguel makes it as seamless and stress-free as possible--which says a lot.

    I have never been so disappointed or disgusted with a dealership…read more First off let me say I am a young-ish tattooed male and I like wearing tank tops. I understand I don't look like the regular customer there but that shouldn't matter. I couldn't get one salesman to help me, not a single one. I shouldn't have to show them photos of my house or my 4 other cars to be taken seriously. Years ago my grandfather (Ignacio Bruno) showed up after work in his uniform to buy a car for grandma. They laughed at him and asked what he possibly wanted (referring to his dirty uniform, ignorant to the fact he owned the company he had patched on his shoulders.) He laughed and walked across the lot to the Jaguar dealership and bought TWO cars cash on the spot (gramps only dealt in $100s). He and my dad drove them to the HOI and told the salesmen they should have taken him seriously. Thought maybe they learned a lesson. Apparently not. I stopped going there a year ago. Today I get very rude, very snide texts from the House of Imports because I didn't want the unnecessary appointment they were trying to make for me. Not a good look....maybe it's time for a Jaguar?

    Great experience with this dealership! The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process…read moresmooth and stress-free. I really appreciated their honesty and professionalism. Highly recommend! special shoutout to Josh & Bijan!!!

    Be wary of buying a vehicle from this dealership. I originally spoke with Patrick over the phone…read moreabout a new RAV4 I saw online, but unfortunately, it was already unavailable. Patrick offered me an alternative, but it was the wrong color and packed with overpriced dealer extras I didn't want (including door edge guards). After I explained my preferences, he sent me a link to a perfect option arriving in about a month. I was elated and ready to drive 45 minutes just to put down a deposit. Then came the official quote. The base selling price--before any taxes or fees--was even higher than the over-accessorized alternative he had first pitched. When I told him I wasn't interested, Patrick actually tells me that the total was higher because of taxes and fees... as if I didn't know how buying a car works. This isn't my first vehicle; I am fully aware that taxes and registration are standard. The real issue was that they added over $1,500 in unwanted dealer add-ons (including "elite door cups/edge guards") into the pre-tax price. Patrick claims these extras are standard. So had I agreed to purchase the alternative vehicle that was being sold with edge guards, I'd also be acquiring "elite door cups"? Patrick then tried to justify the markup because RAV4s are so popular and "pre-sold before they even reach the lot." To me, it just felt like they were exploiting Toyota's high demand to take advantage of customers. I chose AutoNation specifically because of their "haggle-free" reputation. I didn't want to play games; I just wanted to pay a fair, transparent price. In fact, if that first alternative vehicle had been the right color, I would have bought it without a fight. I wasn't looking for discounts or freebies--just honesty. Dealing with Patrick at Autonation has reminded me just how annoying car buying can be. Do your research before coming here. Plenty of other dealerships have access to the exact same inventory without forcing you to pay for extras you don't want or need.

    So far, so good! Walked in to get some info, and walked out the next day with a new car. Score!…read more Tesla seems to offer really good deals from time to time, and they sold us on the model 3. The whole process was so easy, and hard to turn down. Rich, I believe, was our dealer and we had a great experience with him (sorry for all the silliness!). He walked us through the whole process, then connected us to the Tesla app to finish our application. By noon the next day, our car was already ready! Everyone here is very friendly and nice. Never has getting a new car felt so easy. And already in love with my new Tesla. I was nervous to drive it at first, but it is very easy to drive. Best of all, no more high priced gas to put in!

    I recently brought my vehicle in to address a strange noise, and the experience was incredibly…read moredisappointing. After an inspection, I was informed that the issue was due to the axles needing lubrication. Despite the car being relatively new, I was told this is considered a "maintenance item" and is not covered under warranty. The final bill was **$500 just for axle lubrication**. Charging half a grand for a basic lubrication service is absolutely predatory and reinforces the worst stereotypes about dealership service costs. As a result of this experience, Tesla has officially lost a repeat customer. With the current market full of competitive EV manufacturers, there is no reason to stay loyal to a brand that rips off its owners for routine maintenance. I feel completely overcharged and undervalued as a client. **Avoid this service center if you value fair pricing.**

    Speedway auto sales is the place to buy your used car with a large selection of cars and trucks…read more I was in the market for shopping for a small truck because I had a larger truck so I wanted to down size and I found speedway On line I found a 2004 Ford ranger x cab rite away I can tell it was in good condition Andy was the sales guy nice and polite knew his job well, we made the deal trade in my truck and I was on my way thanks speedway .

    Great Location, Cars look beautiful and the process was simple, Andres was nice to speak and deal…read morewith as well. OverAll, first impression was still better than most smaller owned dealerships .... However, bought a 2014 truck w/ 94k miles, $3700 down... and less than 60 days later, realized it needed a 3k TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY (A new transmission was recommended even), Drive shaft and Fuel pump module. The truck was never serviced either, needed an oil change, front brakes and alignment (small things that I can take care of anyways) Reached out to the dealership in good faith to see if they'd help in one way or another, wasn't expecting the repairs to get completed all by them but who knows.... I was referred to a shop for it to get checked out and they found nothing wrong with the transmission I guess, being so busy, I took time to see another person yet one month after their referral, the check engine light went on and boom, there indeed was a transmission issue. The dealership and 3 other shops all quoted total repairs at $4k to $6k in repairs, or more if I replace the transmission. Side note: Before I realized the issues in my truck, I did refer a friend to the place too and they noted that the cars they checked up on did seem like they needed maintenance too, again, small problems but something to note Can't say you all will have this experience but do carefully examine your vehicles, CAREFULLY, before signing those papers! This has been an EXPERIENCE in my books TWO stars instead of one, since I know the salesman and office staff there definitely deserve some credit I put this review on Google and Yelp since I feel it's important everyone hears me out on this honest review AND YES, I HAVE INVOICES AND RECEIPTS AND PROOF IF ANYONE DOUBTS THIS REVIEW.
