complaint about the finance director nonprofessional business when hire a finance director that lost his temper with me. I left the dealer and totally disappointed and unpleased that I re nonprofessional business when hire a finance director that lost his temper with me. I left the dealer and totally disappointed and unpleased that I received a full of disrespectful attitude from him. He was totally discriminated and racist and the service I got was unbelievable. I believe his job to listen to customer need and answer all my question def not recommended. More

Goodbye 17 years with David McDavid Acura of Austin Clifton Goldsmith, the GM, reached out to me over email and phone to get me to end my 2018 TLX lease 4 months early to go into a 2020 TLX. I previousl Clifton Goldsmith, the GM, reached out to me over email and phone to get me to end my 2018 TLX lease 4 months early to go into a 2020 TLX. I previously had such an offer that was supposed to be lower than my current payments with lots of other benefits so went down where I wasted 90 minutes sitting there in a vacuum of no information and an unfriendly atmosphere. When they finally were able to present numbers, instead of being lower than my $317/month payments, they wanted me to pay $470/month for a car that is essentially the same. This time he was able to get me numbers without me having to physically be present. We came to an arrangement and he passed me on to a sales person to do the paperwork. I would have to pay a deposit or do paperwork before they could bring the car down from another lot in Texas. I went down there and after 2 hours of being told "10 more mins, 10 more mins" I left as I warned them I was going to do. I get home and my phone rings. It's the sales guy telling me the information has finally been loaded into the finance director's computer (as if this were 1988) and to please please come back and just quickly finish the deal. I was annoyed, but went back only to find the place locked up. I called the sales guy who had the Clifton Goldsmith unlock it and sit down with me. I'd never met him, but he told me he didn't know why I was back or why the sales guy told me everything was ready. It was not. In fact, they messed up everything in the computer (which they blamed on the dealership that had the blue 2020 TLX I wanted) and put in the wrong data. So, they'd have to start from scratch, he said, and that will clearly not make me happy so he's sorry we can't do a deal. He then basically threw me out. I called Acura Finance to see what I could do to terminate my lease and relationship with Goldsmith/McDavid early. I had emailed him and asked, but he ignored me as did the sales guy who was really responsive prior. The rep was absolutely shocked and decided to call David McDavid to see what could be done. They hung up on her. No kidding. So, I called Tim Caldwell at Sterling Acura of Austin, even though it's far away from me, and he and his Finance Director, Jay Buck, and their sales guy, Phillip Huron, all worked together to get me a deal on the same car that was even slightly better. Literally, the same car. The deal was done in 45 minutes. They brought the exact same car down from the exact same other dealer in Texas without the need for a deposit or paperwork in advance. Then they drove it to my home, which was nice since they're so far from me unlike David McDavid. Then, at my home, Phillip did all of the finance paperwork with me – which took minutes, not hours – and then took me through all of the features of the car. He then drove back again today with the sunglasses I had left in my old car and my license plates. I never even set foot in Sterling. But all of that is beyond Mr. Goldsmith and David McDavid. I found out later that the car had tinted windows, a trunk tray, special wheels filled with nitrogen and special grips and wheel locks... And that is why David McDavid decided to terminate my relationship with them after more than a decade and 1/2. Clifton Goldsmith clearly did not want to pay for all of that or ask me to do so on top of the other bungles they had already made. He took the easy way out, which shows what they care about at David McDavid. Hint: it's not the customers. I hope someone with sense comes back to run that operation, but it has been on a downward slide for many years, so I doubt it. More

Worst Experience Ever! This is a ZERO STAR EXPERIENCE!! I Have been going to this place for a while but have never felt so unwelcoming and honestly feel terrible that i have This is a ZERO STAR EXPERIENCE!! I Have been going to this place for a while but have never felt so unwelcoming and honestly feel terrible that i have been giving my money to this place. I Bought my vehicle from this place, had every single service done here but today was the worst of experience. I signed up for service appointment online and specially asking for a loaner and go in next day just to be disclosed that they never give out loaner for a B1 service on my TL. Never before have i ever heard that. There website is totally misleading customers. Not only they had the audacity to straight up reject my loaner but also said because it is not a big job and they won't give one. So they discriminate between customer who spend more and who spend less. I myself have always received a loaner from them for any services big or small if needed. Is spend $1800 for my last service and would have spend a lot more but i would rather go to south Austin than ever waste my dime at this dealership. Thank you Lance, the service manager for having the worst ever customer satisfaction skills and no intention to resolve a misleading website marketing. Don't go to these cheats who have neither any skills or will to know how to treat their customers. More
Well for starters I had an appointment to view the used vehicle. Brycen, your sales Manager, called 1st thing am on the day of to confirm. When I arrived I was told the vehicle had been sent to the Jeep vehicle. Brycen, your sales Manager, called 1st thing am on the day of to confirm. When I arrived I was told the vehicle had been sent to the Jeep dealer for repairs but had hoped it would be back before I arrived. That was Friday. I was not notified of this and wasted a trip to view a vehicle that was not there. The vehicle arrived back today and we went to view as I am purchasing for my 16 year old son. After viewing and a test drive I requested that the lighting and front brake rotors be looked at. The lights were sporadic at working and the rotors are grooved. I was told by Adam that there were no more meat and potatoes for them to do anything and if I didn't purchase as is it would be shipped to Lubbock. I have NEVER been told anything like that by a dealer. #1 lighting and braking are a safety hazard. If that is how you guys care to do business you may do it with someone else. I have since went every place online that I can leave a review of the service and let it be known how you guys treat your potential customers. More

Dishonest Business Practices!!! ABSOLUTELY DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM TO HONOR ANY OFFER THEY MAKE TO YOU! QUOTED AND SENT ME A CERTIFICATE OF PRICE FOR SALE ABSOLUTELY DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM TO HONOR ANY OFFER THEY MAKE TO YOU! QUOTED AND SENT ME A CERTIFICATE OF PRICE FOR SALE OF A VEHICLE, CALLED ME AND CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE AND THE PRICE, WE CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE, THE SALESMAN AGREED IT WAS A GREAT DEAL, TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE LATER, THEY DID REPAIRS, CALLED US BACK, TWO TRIPS, AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO DOUBLE THE PRICE, AND NOT HONOR THEIR OFFER. I WAS EVEN NOTIFIED BY EMAIL THAT THEY WERE INCREASING THE PRICE......WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE WITH THEM WITH THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE AND OFFER. WE WILL NEVER REFER THEM TO ANYONE, OR BUY FROM THEM!!! No rating deserved. More
Buyer beware! I bought a used TL from David McDavid Acura less than a year ago and now I’m being told that I need $12k worth of service on the car. That’s more than the car is worth!! I had a specific conve less than a year ago and now I’m being told that I need $12k worth of service on the car. That’s more than the car is worth!! I had a specific conversation with that salesman regarding upcoming maintenance, and he reassured me that it was well maintained. The only upcoming maintenance that would be required is the timing belt/water pump. Now I find out it needs a whole list of urgent services/repairs, and this is the first scheduled service since I bought it. Either the salesman lied about the true condition of the car, or David McDavid never bothered to inspect it fully before re-selling it. I explained to the salesman the reason for purchasing an Acura is so I wouldn’t have the service headaches that I had on my 09 Audi A4. Now I’m regretting purchasing from this dealership and trusting a used car dealer on their recommendation. I wasn’t even looking at TLs when he showed this one to me and insisted it was a great deal. Too good to be true! Be careful of David McDavid Acura, especially if you’re a woman! It’s dealerships like these that give the auto industry a bad rep. They’ve got quite the racket set up selling used cars that will end up needing thousands of dollars in repairs a few months down the line. More
Sloppiest service and absolutely uncooperative salesperson. Showed little respect for the customer, misleading information and poor attitude towards conducting business. Highly overpriced and the salesperson. Showed little respect for the customer, misleading information and poor attitude towards conducting business. Highly overpriced and the quote we received for the base MDX here turned out to be way less than the tech trim MDX we eventually bought from another Acura dealership in Austin. More
