Recent Reviews from AutoNation Acura North Orlando

Leased a vehicle on 11/15/20, they did not pay off vehicle until 1/12/21, causing my credit to be damaged. Also lied to get me into vehicle. I was pressured into signing a lease agreement with the dealership on 11/15/20 after my salesman (Jake) convinced me if I waited until my current lease was up on my Toyota in May 2021, my choice of Acura MDX's would be limited because they were not going to release any 2021 MDXs next year. He specifically told me the new MDXs would not be released until 2022. I found this out later to be a lie, they released the 2021 MDXs in January 2021. I had to pay $6500 in order to get the lease payment down to $545 a month because I still owned money on my current lease from getting out of my current lease early. They also said they automatically replace the tires on any trade in so they needed to deduct $1000 from my trade in value, even though my Toyota was only 2 yrs old. I found this out to be a lie as well. I went up to the dealership in December and my old Toyota was on the lot for sale and the exact tires were still on the car. I signed the paperwork and the finance person told me the DMV was having problems and they couldn't transfer my tags over. They would need to give me a temporary tag and my new plates should arrive soon. Within a few days of my 30 day tag set to expire I still had not received my new plate. I had called up to the dealership and texted several times and each time I was transferred over to my salesman (Jake). I was told everything was taken care of and they were just waiting on the DMV. Finally, one day before my 30 day tag expired, they realized they never submitted my DMV paperwork and was looking up the new plate number instead of the old one each time I called. They apologized, admitted their mistake, and I went up to the dealership to pick up a new plate that same day. Within that timeframe, I also inquired about when my trade in would be paid off. I had a payment due 11/26/20 and I traded my car in on 11/15/20. I was told not to worry about it, that I had 30 days before a late charge would display on my credit and it would be taken care of before then. Around December 13th, my Toyota still wasn't paid off and the dealership sent me a copy of a check showing they sent the payoff check to the Toyota lien holder on Dec 10, 2020 and said it should clear soon. I again expressed worry about my credit taking a hit. I was again told this would not happen. Needless to say Toyota never received the check and they started calling me about the missed payments and put a 30 day late payment on my credit report. I called the dealership again and after a few days someone finally got back to me and made up a story about how Toyota sent the check back to them with no explanation, so they overnighted the check back and they should have it in about a week and they would get a letter to get my credit repaired. That didn't make sense to me so I asked, "You guys sent the same check back without asking Toyota why they sent it back?" The response " Yes, I don't know what happened. Fast forward to January. My credit report is now showing 60 days late and they did not receive a check from Acura until January 12 for my payoff. I called and spoke to Toyota myself and they NEVER received a check from Acura in December, nor did they send one back with no explanation as Acura is claiming. They also verified the address on the Dec 10 check was correct, so they just never sent it. They did confirm Acura sent a different check in January and put a stop-payment on the December 10 check, so they obviously lost the orignial pay off check. Through their incompetency, they have caused my credit to be damaged and now Toyota won't fix it, claiming although the dealership had my car since November, they never received the payoff until January 12, 2021 so my report of 60 days of late payments is accurate. This is supposed to be a luxury dealership and the fact that I paid them so much money to ruin my credit is sickening to me. The way they practice business is unethical and illegal.

My Sales Associate Chuck was good Knowledgable, Paul the sales manager was respectful and professional. ZACK KELLER was EXTREMELY RUDE! He is the CFS/MANAGER there are people in this world that that believe they are the SMARTEST PERSON in the room ZAK KELLER thinks he is one of the persons, unfortunately for him I am not one those persons who are intimidated by a person like him ,this fueled his frustration which led to many uncomfortable and unpleasant situations throughout our transaction. My wife felt SUPER EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE! I could only assume how many customers or potential customers he has offended over the years! He claims to be the head persons at the dealership. I would only hope that auto nation would have a talk with him maybe a refresher coarse on Humility and respect for the intellect of others would be par for the coarse! This I believe has hurt auto nations image as a leader in automobile dealership sales! I am not one ever to even do surveys but i had to make an exception . I have purchased many cars too many to count over my lifetime and dealt with hundreds of sales associates and managers but have never come across someone so blatantly pompous with his reactions. To name a few of his offenses if you don?t purchase all of his add on?s at the end of your deal you must be an IGNORANT PERSON! This is how he tries to make his customers feel! If you don?t take the financing he offers or go into a lease that he believes works for him since (HE IS THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM) you must be stupid! He uses tactics such as the pregnant pause and a look of dismay and indifference! This truly was the worst experience of all times closing a deal at a dealership! Which should be a Joyous occasion. As I mentioned I have purchased hundreds of cars over the coarse of years YES I AM A CAR ENTHUSIAST! My wife who always gives everyone the benefit of the doubt was so uncomfortable that she couldn?t let it go in fact I am sitting here on a Sunday Morning at her request to do this review on my time of rest relaxation and leisure! This should be a review to ponder both for AutoNation and for any Potential Customers Caveat Emptor!

If you are in the market for new car you should stay away from buying Acura especially from this dealer ship. You would end up getting stuck with horrible service. The level of customer service has been going down. I've been loyal to Acura for 18 years and have been going to this dealership since 2000 for car maintenance when they were under the name Jimmy Bryan. I'm extremely disappointed of the way I was treated there today. I've bought the oil change package they offer there for many years. I brought my car in for oil change and told the service guy that I wanted to buy another package since I already used up my current one. He advised me that the finance person would call me back to go over the price since I had to go back to work. I agreed to leave my car there and was dropped back off to work. The finance guy called me couple hrs later and told me the package with 4 oil changes and 2 tire rotations would be $355. I told him I don't remember paying that much before. Mind you a single oil change cost $60 x 4= $240 + tire rotations $29.95 x 2 would be $299.90 which is way cheaper than the package so why would I want the package. It must provide some kind of discounts or benefits to get the package deal. He told me that's what I paid before for my old package. Right there I was lied to. I requested to have the service person whom helped me earlier to give me a call. The service guy called back and agreed that it shouldn't be $355 and that package is for the full synthetic oil instead of synthetic blend which is what I had. He confirmed the package would only cost about $245 after tax. I told him I agree to get it and use it for my oil change. He told me he would have the finance guy set it up and all I need to do is sign when I pick up my car. When I went to pick up my car the same finance guy pulled me in the office and told me the package would be $355. I told him that's not what I was told by the service guy and not what I paid for previously. His response was "I don't know what the service guy told you and he's not here. Why don't you just call him since you have his number?" He basically implied to me that I was lying. I told him he called me from your office and are you implying I was lying? I asked to speak to his manager or service manager he then said everyone left and he's the only manager. I insisted to speak to some one higher and finally he told me he would get his director. Right there I was lied to again about no one else is higher that I could talk to beside him. The director came in and basically told me the service guy is just an employee not a company and all he could do is to coach him. What kind of response is that? The employees represent the company and when they make mistakes the company owns up to it and you are not doing any of that. That's what I told the director and. I'm not there to steal or cheat your company. I've spent so much money for my car service there and was there to buy more. I'm very disappointed of the level of service provided to me today and was insulted by the finance employees. This is my last straw and will never set my foot back in there.

I am extremely disappointed with the customer service from this dealership. I signed the papers on a lease deal and took delivery of an Acura TLX late Sunday night after the dealership had closed (around 6:30 p.m.), following an unnecessarily long negotiating period, and wait for the paperwork and the car to be prepared. I had been choosing between the Acura TLX and a BMW 320i. The following day, at around 1:00 p.m.) I received a revised offer from BMW for a significantly lower monthly lease payment (around 15% less than both the prior BMW offer and what I was paying Acura). I recognize that BMW should have been a little more timely with their best and final offer, but it was still a big chunk of change ($1,800 over the 36 monthy lease period) that I would be foolish to not pursue. I immediately called the Acrua dealership, provided them with a copy of the offer from BMW, and gave them the option of reducing my lease payments by about 10% (about $1,100 over the lease term), or voiding the deal and taking back their car. I even offered to pay them for the 30 miles I drove between the dealership and my house, and any other out of pocket fees they incurred. To my surprise, the State of Florida does not have a 72 hour cooling off period on auto lease deals, but I expected that a luxury car dealership would want to maker sure that its customers are happy, and would be more concerned with maintaining a good reputation and long term customer (I have driven nothing but Hondas and Acuras for the last 28 years) than insisting on going forward with a deal that was less than 24 hours old. If Acura truly had made their best and final offer to me, they could simply take back the car, which they could easily sell to another customer, and hand me back my used Acura TL, which was still on the lot. After multiple calls with multiple AutoNation representatives (sales person, supervising manager, and finally general manager) over a 5 hour lapse of time, the final response from AutoNation Acura to my offer was a big fat NO. They refused to either void the deal, or provide any reduction on the lease price, and offered no other accommodation; not even a free oil change. (BMW, by the way, provides free maintenance throughout the lease term.) The worst part about this experience is that I love the car, and the joy and satisfaction of the new car experience has now been ruined because of the short-sighted approach of the managers at this dealership. Needless to say, I am not a satisfied AutoNation Acura customer, and will not be recommending this dealership to any of my friends or acquaintances.

***UPDATE AGAIN*** Here we are a year later and get same (or at least sounds like it) RUDE service representative on the phone that I dealt with a year ago and he hangs up on me too. There obviously were no permanent changes or customer service training done. Changing the rating back to 1 star. Thank you for another reminder on how horrible the service can be on AutoNation's roulette wheel in the service center without a culture of "customer service" cohesion and only a person here or there that knows how to treat people. ***Original*** So tired of the service department at this location being rude because I do not have a "NEW" Acura or treat me like I am not good enough to be a customer. This doesn't mean I won't pay for service or have the money to pay for service. I do. I am just not ready for a new car. Today was a reminder of why I stop going to them for my regular service months ago. (In addition to them not doing their job, like the inspection they are supposed to do with every oil change.) I do not recommend, unless you are rich, snobby, and drive a new Acura. My new car was going to be an Acura MDX, probably not any more so I do not have to deal with their service department. ****UPDATE**** After my conversation with Mr. Breedlove, I was scheduled to bring my car in to figure out what my problem was for my initial call. The went the extra mile to fit me in on a weekend and made sure thing went right. They ended up having to order a part for me to fix what was wrong and advised when it would be in. I was supposed to schedule and appointment which I did not at the time. My adviser called me back after some time to schedule the repair when noticing I never came back for the fix. During my time there they made sure everything was okay. They really were trying to make up for things, but it is a shame it had to take this post for things to turn around. Hopefully with the new management the new experience will be a permanent one.

Let me start by saying that if you're looking for the absolute best Service Department anywhere, then this is the place. Adam is the General Manager, and Brian and Kenny are Service Managers, all of whom took great care of us after we bought our gently used 2005 Infiniti QX56. The person who owned it obviously took great care of it, and it runs perfectly! However, when Acura took it in on trade they did a thorough inspection and found that the steering column, front brakes, and oil filter housing seal were in need of repair. All of which was completed prior to me even looking at the vehicle. We bought the car at the end of October 2014 as a birthday present for my wife. She had been driving a 2000 Ford Expedition that we bought in 2004 with 70k miles on it (it was an excellent car). But after two kids and 190k miles it was time to retire the old girl. The Infiniti suited our needs perfectly, and we purchased it, even though it already had 100k miles on it. But, since Acura took it on trade, and with the great condition it was in, I went ahead and got it. Unfortunately, soon after driving it home, the steering column was loose. So, I called Acura, and they said to bring it back in for them to evaluate whether they could do anything. Well, they did something all right. They kept the car until they could locate a suitable replacement steering column, and provided us with a loaner vehicle, not once, but three separate times while they ordered and replaced five different steering columns. Also, that in that same time period, during one of the few weeks we had the car back, the brake system failed and I had to have it repaired at a cost of $1250. But, that's merely a coincidence of the timing. Acura took care of that repair in as best of a cost effective manner as possible. In the time that weve owned the car, weve actually only had it in our possession for about two months as Brian and Kenny were relentless in their mission to ensure that we were totally happy. They also took care of a few other minor issues: the side mirror switch had to be replaced, the ignition switch was loose and they had to order new bolts. All of which, they had to order parts and incur labor hours to repair. I cant say enough great things about the level of service, respect, and willingness to provide great customer service that Autonation Acura of Sanford has provided my family. My Wife loves the car, and the kids cant get enough of all the space it provides. Thank you Autonation Acura for all you did for us. Jack Gross, Lake Mary, FL.

I am very dissatisfied with the service I have received from this dealership. I switched to Courtesy Acura about four to five years ago after I had been dissatisfied with the service at Fountain Acura in the south side of town. It is not convenient for me, but thought I had been given great service here over the years. My awakening all started last March when I had to have my radiator replaced after my engine overheated on my way home one night. I asked the service advisor to have them check over my car to see if there is anything else wrong. They said all that was needed was a new radiator and an oil change. The hoses and thermostat was not replaced. I was not impressed with my advisor - she seemed uninformed on what the service department had done, and unwilling to go above and beyond. She was not there on Saturday morning when I picked up my car, so my checkout experience was less than remarkable. In just a few weeks I have two of my tires replaced at another shop and find out that a CV joint needs replacing and an engine mount was broken. These were items that were not identified when I asked Acura to look over my car to see if there were any other issues. Less than ten months after getting my radiator replaced, I find out that my radiator system is not working properly because the the system was not properly pressurized and I had a leak in the system. I had to have the hoses, thermostat and radiator cap replaced. I did not go to Acura. Two short weeks later, I find out I have to have my timing belt and balance shaft belt replaced because they were hitting the timing belt case. They were rotating in a "sloppy" manner indicative of not being properly rotated. This was at 109,000 miles. At just over 77,000 miles I had both of these belts replaced when I had my clutch replaced at Acura. Again, I had this work done at an independent shop. I am getting better customer service and more reliable car repair at an independent shop than my auto maker's dealership. Isn't that supposed to be their claim to fame so to speak? If you are going to charge higher prices than an independent shop, make it worth my while to go out of my way to get up to your dealership and pay your higher prices. Instead, they have been performing substandard work that I am now having to refix somewhere else. I will not trust Acura to touch my car again and rest assured I will not be purchasing another Acura. It's a shame too, because for an automobile that is supposed to be so reliable, the service department sure is becoming a liability for them they may not soon be able to afford.
