I was deceived and manipulated at AutoNation Honda Dulles and I drove over an hour from Annapolis with an appointment for the privilege. Day before yesterday I was browsing the Web for a used Volkswagen CC, and I drove over an hour from Annapolis with an appointment for the privilege. Day before yesterday I was browsing the Web for a used Volkswagen CC, a car I once had and loved. I so hate my Honda Accord EXL (it's the one you want to date, not marry!) that I was willing to trade down. I get Justin on the phone, my instant pal, who talks the car up as newly arrived and previously bought as VW pre-certified, so it must be in good shape, and how soon do I want to see it? Day after tomorrow, I say. He sets up an appointment. When he confirms by email, he asks to push back the appointment 2 hours to have the car nice and detailed for me; btw, Jorge will take care of me, since he won't be in. O.K. Then Jorge emails me to confirm too; and the next day a manager calls me up personally to confirm too. Sounds pretty good so far, eh? Well, it doesn't end good. I get there, and Jorge doesn't seem to know who I am or that I have an appointment with him. He goes off to whisper for a bit and comes back saying that he understands all my concerns [really?] and has related them to his manager and is handing me over to Patrick. Patrick wants to start with assessing my car for trade-in. Well, I'd like to see the car I came to see first, to see if I'm interested, say I. This will save you time, replies he; they can do the assessment while we test-drive. Skeptical, I give him my license, and my registration, and my keys, and all the info., but I grow wary. I repeat a couple more times that I'd like to see the car first, and he reassures me that he's going to show me the car, and he even pulls out a dealer license plate and puts it on the desk. Then he whisks away my keys and his forms, but then he comes back to report that the car is at a body shop a half-hour away. What?!? I suddenly realize he's been stalling me because they don't have the car to show me. [If the idiots had only 'fessed up from the start, I'd have said, Okay, how about you try to interest me in something else on your lot while someone goes fetch the car that I drove around the beltway to see with an appointment confirmed by two emails and a manager's phone call? By the way, WHY is it in a body-shop?!? No one disclosed any need of bodywork to me and your Web photo of the car doesn't show any need. In any case ...] When I suddenly realized that Patrick had been stalling me with lies, I stormed in indignation: Give me back my car keys! and I bailed. Would you believe that despite some cussing on the way out, even before I even got home, fuming the whole way around the beltway, I got an email message from the General Manager thanking me for my visit and hoping I was satisfied? So I dial him up and say, Your message has to be auto-generated because you must know I just left your showroom fuming? Of course, really I figured he didn't know because that's the kind of place AutoNation is. Well, he claimed that somebody from their shop had taken the car to a body shop for repair of minor scratches not knowing about my appointment, and he doesn't know how he could make it up to me now. So I say, Well since I drove around the beltway to see the car, now you drive it to me to see! Well, he said O.K. I actually felt appeased. I did, I really did. He said, let me work on that and call you back. Okay, I said, okay. The the call comes: well, it won't be ready before Friday, so let's talk then. Friday? It will take two MORE days to repair cosmetic scratches? Sounds to me like more stalling and deceiving. I tell you what, if General Manager Aaron Spicer comes through and sends his Volkswagen CC to me in Annapolis to see, I'll be completely appeased, I'll retract this review, and I'll write another saying, xxxx happens, but all's well that ends well. Meanwhile, caveat emptor!!! More
I had a very satisfying experience at AutoNation. I went into the dealership knowing that I was asking for a difficult resolution. My sales person, Matthew Smith, was excellent. I was very impressed by the into the dealership knowing that I was asking for a difficult resolution. My sales person, Matthew Smith, was excellent. I was very impressed by the way he actually listened to what I needed. He didn’t try to push me into a different car. The GM, JT, made sure to come over and introduce himself and the sales manager, Pete, was also attentive. Pete told me it would take until at least the next day to have an answer. Because of the complexity, it actually took 4 days. Matt kept in touch with me to keep me updated on the situation. Finally, we came to agreement that was the best for me. Regardless of how it turned, I was impressed with the level of service I received. Sadly, I’m moving out of state but if I were remaining in the area, I would definitely continue to patronize AutoNation Dulles. If you’re looking for an honest, diligent, and customer focused team, you can’t go wrong with Matthew Smith, JT Smyth and Pete, More
Honorable and Trustworthy I had an amazing experience as a single mother buying a car by myself at AutoNation Honda. My sales person James Quaye was upfront, honest, and kind I had an amazing experience as a single mother buying a car by myself at AutoNation Honda. My sales person James Quaye was upfront, honest, and kind in helping me purchase my car. He even went the extra mile and delivered the car to my home. I believe I got a fair price and that it's a good value for me. I highly recommend James at AutoNation Honda he is an honorable person and will help you in anyway he can, making buying a car a pleasure. More
Lease Plate Renewal I leased a vehicle in April of 2018. My plates ran out 31 July, 2019. I just talked to a woman at the dealership that said, "It may take a month or I leased a vehicle in April of 2018. My plates ran out 31 July, 2019. I just talked to a woman at the dealership that said, "It may take a month or more for you to get the title number from the dealership so you can renew your plates." I said, "That is great, but I leased my vehicle 18 months ago, and I do not have a title number." Argumentative and uninformed. I will never lease a vehicle from this dealership again. Honda should be ashamed. More

Horrible bodywork, ignores phone calls Horrible bodywork done, and ignores my calls to try and get issue resolved. They have no better business bureau accreditation.

Worst purchase experience EVER! Our 2017 CRV was totaled by some guy running a red light. We went to Autonation Honda Dulles to look at 2018 CRVs, settled on one, and told the salesm Our 2017 CRV was totaled by some guy running a red light. We went to Autonation Honda Dulles to look at 2018 CRVs, settled on one, and told the salesman we'd back in a few days, after the accident settlement arrived. We went back four days later, the one we had looked at was gone, but they had just had another delivered. Went for a test drive, made a 2500 deposit, and told the salesman we'd be back the next day as the vehicle still needed a safety inspection and paperwork prepared. The salesman sent an email that night stating the car would be ready by 12 the following day. The following afternoon, we went to the dealership, met the salesman, provided some info (drivers license, etc.). He asked us to take the vehicle for a drive while the paperwork was finalized. We did so and returned. After waiting 10-15 minutes with no apparent action, we told the salesman we had a limited time because we needed to pick up our grandson from day care. He talked with someone and told us it should only be another 5-10 minutes. After 15 minutes we asked again, the salesman again talked with someone, then said it should only be another 15 minutes or so. That came and went and my wife finally had to leave to pick up our grandson. After 45 minutes, Eric the paperwork guy finally came out and I asked if he was the reason I'd waited so long. He went in to some song and dance of how extensive the paperwork was, it was a legal matter, they were a big dealership, and other excuses. We heatedly discussed it and I finally told him he could keep the car. I asked the salesman what paperwork he needed back and he asked if I wanted to speak with the GM and I said yes. The GM, John, came out after a couple of minutes, asked me to step to the side and initially was nice enough, offered to have the salesman come to our house with the paperwork, which I declined. He tried to put it off on the salesman and I told him the salesman had been fine to deal with, I wanted the paperwork done. He started down the same track of the paperwork is extensive, very involved, and they were a big dealership. I told him to just stop, that it just sounded like a lot of xx, I'd bought cars previously and there wasn't that much to it. He went off and talked with the salesman while I called/texted my wife about what she wanted to do because she had to sign the paperwork to register it in both names. The GM, John, came back and started by saying part of the problem was I had been late for 2 PM appointment. I told him we had no such appointment so don't even try to blame this on me, and his people didn't do what they were supposed to, i.e. get the paperwork done before we got there, they had all the information. He said they never started paperwork without the people because some are no shows. Really? With a $2500 deposit? We finally agreed to proceed despite my misgivings and John assigned a different person to handle it. I started signing paperwork and my wife arrived with our 2 yr old grandson and she started signed the paperwork. I think there were only 8 signatures each, two of those were duplicate forms, so where's the complicated/extensive paperwork? Two of the forms didn't really apply as we were paying cash, not using a loan. We'd now been there 3 hours trying to give Honda a $32K. The lady said she had to call and verify the check, understandable, but by now the bank was closed and the clearinghouse couldn't initially verify the check, another 10 minutes on hold. Then the clearinghouse automated system hung, then the ladies computer program didn't work like the clearinghouse said it should. We threatened again to walk out and buy a different car. A manager of some sort came in and gave approval to accept the check without clearinghouse action, but said we'd have to come back today to sign another form regarding the check. At that point the clearinghouse finally came back on and walked the lady through what to do, which of course didn't work. We finally said to "enough" (insert stronger word/phrase), my wife left with our grandson who was no past dinner time. My wife called and said the lady didn't give us a copy of the paperwork for the door guards and roof rack we ordered, so had to go get that. I stuck around 15 minutes setting up an appointment to get the door guards and roof rack installed (couldn't somebody have done this? Not like they didn't have the time?). The lady was still working to get the check approved I told them I was waiting anymore. I left after having been at the dealership nearly 4 hours, exasperated, wishing we'd never seen Autonation Honda Dulles. I've never had such a hard time buying a car or trying to give a dealership $32K! I never will again, life's too short and a care isn't worth it. Autonation Honda Dulles sales team lost all confidence we had in the brand, let alone the dealership. I'll give them one chance to service the car, but if ANYTHING doesn't go right, I'll never step foot back in their facility and I'll think long and hard about letting Honda have any of my business. They've got a long road to earning respect back! More
Worst service I've ever had at any dealership Simply unwilling to respond to a problem that it appears they could not fix. When they figured that out the service writer, service manager, parts and Simply unwilling to respond to a problem that it appears they could not fix. When they figured that out the service writer, service manager, parts and service director and general manager all thought it was best to not answer the phone and not return phone calls. But this seems to be the corporate culture because after writing to AutoNation corporate office .....guess what, no reply. I took the vehicle to another dealership and got a prompt resolution. If you consider doing business at any AutoNation you may want to reconsider. More
