I purchased a 2017 Land Rover Discovery from this dealership on February 27, 2025, and it has been nothing but a nightmare since. Within a month, the vehicle showed serious mechanical issues: check e dealership on February 27, 2025, and it has been nothing but a nightmare since. Within a month, the vehicle showed serious mechanical issues: check engine light with multiple codes, faulty alternator, bad tire, worn brake pads and rotors, overdue oil, malfunctioning driver window, airbag warning light, and coolant issues. I had to pay over $500 out of pocket just to get the car back from the shop—despite having a warranty. When I brought everything up to the dealership, instead of taking responsibility, they offered me $400—but only if I signed a form waiving all rights to take legal action or leave honest reviews like this one. That alone says everything you need to know. I now owe over $31,000 on a vehicle that should’ve never passed inspection. If you’re thinking of buying here, don’t. You’re not just risking money—you’re risking your safety and peace of mind. More
I personally had a great experience with these guys. Especially the sales manager BB. He was exactly what you want when buying a car. No xx, no used car sales shenanigans and at the end of the day I got Especially the sales manager BB. He was exactly what you want when buying a car. No xx, no used car sales shenanigans and at the end of the day I got a great deal on a solid car that totally checked out at the dealership. I will be back in the future. More
Buyers beware this dealer will rip you off. They are criminals and misrepresentations of everything they say and do. I bought a Escalade from them about 4 months ago and here’s what happened They are criminals and misrepresentations of everything they say and do. I bought a Escalade from them about 4 months ago and here’s what happened I asked the sales rep before delivery that hey they do a complete car inspection right She replied yes On my day of delivery I took vechicle home. Well the first thing I noticed was a broken windshield and the tires were bald. They also didn’t disclose the warranty I bought extra. They only gave me one page on the warranty which is a scam 2 days later a light came on so I went to see what was wrong Warranty solutions select is the warranty company they sell you warranty’s with they also are crooked They said it needs a radar part that cost over 5000 A oil leak and motor mounts needed to be fix on top of broken windshield and bald tires They are crooks and liars I had to trade it in at another dealer and know I’m 21,000 in negative equity on my new car. As well as 3,350 on warranty they won’t refund I also asked for a refund back on the warranty I bought and they are refusing to refund me back. Please listen to me as they have had several complaints of similar complaints as well. They need to get there dealership license taken from them they are committing fraud to customers and need to be shut down for all the wrong doing they are doing to customers so I’m at a loss of 21000 and 3,330 I was taken advantage of More
I purchased a 2021 GLE350 with delivery out of state. I agree with the other reviews they seemed oddly unmotivated and the general manager Jonah is a pretty suave cat. Classic lot lizard tactics, ultimat I agree with the other reviews they seemed oddly unmotivated and the general manager Jonah is a pretty suave cat. Classic lot lizard tactics, ultimately we agreed on a price and I had a PPI. Jonah said any PPI company except lemon squad is ok ‘i won’t let them on the lite because they ruined deals before.’. I had a PPI with clear photos of carpeted floor mats and weather tech mats. The car arrived and the carpeted mats were gone. Also, the front view camera which only activates at stop lights was crooked. Come to find out after a two hour repair the tech who must have replaced the windshield didn’t re-attach the camera. Moreover, the rear suspension cover was missing three bolts and they had snapped it into place for the PPI. A $50K vehicle which we upheld our end of the deal for and disappointed to have this many issues. Put simply our request was to cover the cost of carpeted floor mats that disappeared. I was told Multiple times over email that Jonah would call me and only did so after four follow ups. When he did call he told me he had 500 other things to do and eventually hung up the phone on me. I doubt any accredited dealerships or dealer groups would hire this guy. I recommend going elsewhere. More
Not willing to negotiate; the price and all the add-ins are not justifiable; and no transparency to the process. I asked for an outside estimate, which I paid for, but was overcharged $150 and they refuse are not justifiable; and no transparency to the process.

While responsive to questions by e-mail and text, I found the sales representative Khaleel to be a poor salesman. I provided FACTUAL INFORMATION based on the VIN of the car making clear that it was materiall the sales representative Khaleel to be a poor salesman. I provided FACTUAL INFORMATION based on the VIN of the car making clear that it was materially overpriced, but he adamantly maintained that he thought it was not. Thus, we were at an impasse. While I liked the car well, I found it too difficult to negotiate with this person, who never referred to a manager for assistance, so I turned to other options and left the purchase process. More
October2023: 1. My wife & I had a very good experience with Discovery. I walked the entire lot for 30-45min before appt. Lots of unique & popular upscale vehicles. O My wife & I had a very good experience with Discovery. I walked the entire lot for 30-45min before appt. Lots of unique & popular upscale vehicles. Only 2 salesmen approached and politely left me alone when I mentioned-just looking. That made me feel comfortable vs high pressure. 2. At appt time we meet Jim Alex to learn options & test drive 2023 Corvette Convt C8. Lots of options for the money. 3. Then, we went inside and it’s loaded with beautiful vehicles (Audis, Porsche, Aston Martin, Bentleys, Ferrari). Here’s where Discovery/Jim stuck out: he spent hours with us, pulled carfaxs, window stickers, priced with dlr fee $995, taxes, fees, protectpkg $995 (these were disclosed upfront in website & before appt). I appreciate that as well. 4. Most dealers are trying to make money, get you to come in, stay in business and there’s lots of competition out there. So, with my age comes the maturity of knowing it’s commission-based and hard to earn wages. Not a perfect job to perform without some hustle. 5. Anyway I digress a bit, I found that Jim did not show signs of disgust when I got interested in the showroom vehicles. He showed me several others and spent more time with us. I haven’t bought yet because I liked too many. Summary: So after hours, I kinda feel Jim is one of the best. More
He was very demanding. Despite I was asking him questions he insisted on me coming into the dealership and never acknowledge any of my questions. This isn’t the first deale Despite I was asking him questions he insisted on me coming into the dealership and never acknowledge any of my questions. This isn’t the first dealership I’ve dealt with everyone else was able to assist me the best they could via phone and email until it was actually time they even looked over my credit and told me if I needed a co signer or which cars I could try for. The individual I had sucked and he is all about his money he is not really there to help the customers. Worst experience EVER! And I BLOCKED the number ! More
I inquired on a Urus at 4:45PM on 4/27/2023. In my notes I asked very simple questions anybody can go to the car and find out as well as I asked for a few videos of it. I was told the salesmen w In my notes I asked very simple questions anybody can go to the car and find out as well as I asked for a few videos of it. I was told the salesmen would work on it and he never did that night. He contact me the next day at 9:30 saying he was working on it. I didn't receive anything until 2PM, nearly 24 hours after. Seems like the salespeople here are not allowed to touch or drive the vehicle which I find ridiculous considering they expect people to spend this level of money on a vehicle while having such poor customer service. I contacted a second dealership on 4/28 at noon and in less than 3 hours they were able to send me everything I asked for, including answering all my questions and sending me nearly 20 minutes worth of videos for me to review including them driving it on the road, which they said their bosses have no issue with them taking sales vehicle on the road for customer videos which is why I find it so hard to believe that Discovery does not allow their employees to drive the vehicles. A whole process was completed elsewhere in 3 hours when it took Discovery 22 hours to do half the process. In the end I do not recommend them as those in sales don't seem very knowledgable on exotic vehicles and probably just work there to be around them, even though they don't get to drive it for customers so what's the point of being around all these vehicles. Would highly recommend they find people with a passion and knowledge for vehicles as well as allow their salespeople more freedom to learn these vehicles and interact with them for the benefit of customers.
