Now, this interaction ALONE would have gotten this business 5 Stars...the reason why i am marking this 3 stars is due to Ray Velasquez. This man has a fragile ego and will make snide comments if you say anything to the effect of not wanting extra miscellaneous warranties (they are a waste of money TO ME and is SHIT i don't need). He stated "I guess people prefer to pay full price for their repairs." WOW. Someone got their feelings hurt yet this is a PROFESSIONAL TRANSCATION. Personally, i would opt to go with the other Finance guy at this establishment. I nearly wanted to walk due to his incredibly rude comments. I apologized (though i don't think i needed to) for hurting his feelings as this was nothing personal. I would return to the establishment but i will NOT be working with Ray again. Yikes.

I purchased a 2020 Explorer ST new from Robert Horne. The sale was easy and fair…read more The vehicle has always been serviced at Robert Horne. I have had two unnormal service experiences with them and they had no interest in resolving them. The first one was a few years ago when the vehicle had a serious vibrate at highway speed. The vehicle had less than 20,000 and never in an accident. I had their service department inspect the cause of the vibration and was told the tires needed to be replaced and they offered to replace them at 20,000 miles for $3,000. I refused as the tire wear was normal and it was an issue with the tire, not maintenance. I contacted the tire manufacture, Ford Corporate and NHSTA. After some research by myself, the tire manufacture placed pads inside the tire to reduce road noise, but with the heat in Arizona, they come loose inside and cause the vibrate. The solution was to remove the pad, which the dealer did, after my research. They should be doing this and know this is a known issue with this tire. My current problem, with 30,000 miles, is the dealer is again telling me I need $3,100 of work for a front seal that is leaking. Now remind you, they are the only ones that have ever touched this vehicle. The service writer showed me photos of it, and I questioned why this was not brought to my attention previously as you can see it has been leaking for some time. Did they do this intentionally to let the vehicle get out of warranty? I did research and found this too is a common issue. I then contacted Ford Motor Company. I immediately received a call from Sayda Mendoza and has been doing everything she can to help me. She told me Ford would be covering this but needed to contact the dealer. It has been two weeks now and she has left several messages for the Service Manager Ramey, and she is telling me he will not reply to her. WOW! The service manager will not call back a representative from Ford? Not teamwork and I am sure if I tried to call, I would have no better luck. She has told me she has escalated this on her side. I told her I can take it to San Tan Ford to resolve the issue. She will reach out to San Tan Ford. Think twice about buying from Robert Horne if you plan to use their service department. Today (March 19th) I called Robert Horne, as the Ford Corporate representative informed me that she still had not received any updates. I asked to speak with the owner but was transferred to Brett. I'm not sure of his title, but once I explained the reason for my call, he seemed genuinely interested in helping. He identified me by my phone number, said he had printed out all of my paperwork, and told me he would transfer me to someone he believed could assist. That person was on another call, so he placed me on hold. While I was waiting, he checked in several times to let me know he was still working on it. On his last update, the call disconnected -- I'm hoping it was accidental. I waited for a call back, but none came. One notable thing he said while I was explaining my issue with the service department was, "They have had issues."

Roberto, Jason, and Dan are exceptional individuals and made a chore - car shopping - painless,…read moreeven enjoyable. When I was without a way to get to the dealership, Roberto - the sales manager - provided transportation in the vehicle I had looked at online. Once at the dealership, we browsed the lot and I selected a different vehicle. Financing vehicles has always been an issue over my lifetime due to the inaccuracy of Experian and the other reporting agencies. However, Jason and Roberto made it seamless. More important than the upfront service and care these individuals provided to a new customer is the follow-up and follow-through following the sale. There were a few issues I discovered on the test drive and Jason and Dan took care of every one of them for me. A special shout-out of THANKS goes out to the entire Ideal Cars' team. I definitely recommend Ideal Cars, Apache Junction to anyone in the market for a high-quality pre-owned vehicle.

When I went in to do the numbers with Roberto, he was snarky. I found an extra charge of $999 added under what he called recon fee. So, they put a competitive price on their website, and then he said Dale adds $999-$2000 extra under that heading. Ultimately, they refused to take that charge off. He also got an attitude when I had said I'd be doing a prepurchase inspection. Roberto said he'd speak with Dale and see about getting the charge dropped and get back to me. He didn't. I had to call back, and he acted like he had completely forgotten, but would call the owner right away and get back to me. A few minutes later, I received a call from a Dan who said he was in charge and would not take off the additional charge. For what they had raised the price on an older Ford Escape to, I could get a very nice corolla at Toyota. Be very cognizant of how this dealership adds on fees and frowns on prepurchase inspections. Not a good sign.

We purchased a minivan from Craig Arnold several.months ago. I intentionally waited to post a…read morereview to see if anything went wrong with this vehicle and, if so, how Arnold's Auto Center would respond. So something did happen.....and the Arnold's team responded beautifully! Although this van had low mileage, it is 9 years old....it looked showroom new. STILL had a bit of that new car smell. Based on the CarFax it may have been in a fleet of private rental vehicles, but wasn't driven much so sitting dormant may have contributed to the gas pump issue that popped up about two weeks or so after we bought it. The Arnold's service team inspected it, made the correct diagnosis and very quickly had me back sporting around in our new van. So grateful that we chose to partner with Arnold's for this vehicle purchase. Will go here first whenever we need another car!

We were immediately greeted by Carlos who walked us over to a few different models to look at. Carlos is a very unique and pleasant salesman to work with. None of the games, he listened and acted on our preferences instead of selling us what he'd been told to. When we found the right trim and options on the car we came to see, the color in person didn't grow on us. So Carlos led us over to the new intake where he had exactly the same car, same options in a striking blue. So we talked prices but ultimately on the day we didnt impulse buy and decided to take some time to think about it and left. There was no hard sales after that. I have to add here, that our experience was still jaded by our earlier visits to OTHER dealerships. They use things like bait and switch tactics (getting your budget, agreeing on a price, then changing the vin & car on the paperwork to a lesser trim and price) But we found none of the sales games with Autonation. This was such a differential turning point for us and why we decided to drive all the way back to close the deal. Not once did Carlos or his manager get defensive or upset when I was armed with photos, print outs of the car and vin to check Carlos's monitor and paperwork at every step of the process They were totally understanding The whole process of buying the car took less than 2 pleasurable hours and that included a personal tour and demo of all the cars new features by Carlos.

I told them my maximum monthly payment was $300-350. The finance manager told me he was giving me a veterans discount, but when I reviewed my paperwork he had simply removed the GAP insurance -- that's not a discount, that's misleading. My payments ended up at $407/month, well over what I agreed to. They also gave me very low trade-in value for my 2016 Sentra. When I asked about the missing spare tire, the salesman told me I had a choice between an air compressor and a spare tire -- I later found out this was not accurate and when I tried to follow up, nobody would return my calls. I also discovered torn leather on the rear seat behind the driver that I didn't notice at purchase. Additionally, they never sent me a copy of my purchase contract or my Vehicle Protection Plan -- I had to track those down myself. Veterans deserve better than this.
