Park Place Acura of Plano- Buyer Beware On 11/14/22. I was trading in a GR86. they took photos of my car that night for what they called “appraisal photos.” Working out the numbers, they offered me $31k I was trading in a GR86. they took photos of my car that night for what they called “appraisal photos.” Working out the numbers, they offered me $31k for my trade. I knew it was worth minimum 34-35k felt they lowballed me hard. I had to haggle to get them up to 32k they wouldn’t budge more than that. I put down 3k as a down payment which they said a portion would be my first payment. I didn’t receive any lease paperwork with numbers AT ALL. they told me to hold off on updating my insurance until I was picking up the vehicle after it landed at their dealership. That weekend (Saturday 11/19/22), they texted me to say they found 2 potential buyers for my trade & asked me to bring my GR86 to the dealer to sell it even before my Integra landed at the dealer. They offered me a loaner. I found my car on their preowned cars section & found that without my knowledge or permission the photos they posted of my trade included clearly visible shots of my full personalized TX license plate online. This really upset me. Also, I noticed that they posted my trade at nearly 38k!!! (Remember, they wouldn’t offer me more than $32k, talk about stealership move. They could have offered me 34-35k and made a profit because it was a super quick flip for them. they didn’t give me an any feeling at all that they were doing anything more than leasing me a new Integra. Finally my car landed at the dealer and after they tinted the car (required) it was ready on 11/29/22 and I picked it up in the early evening after work. I expressed my concern about what I thought was a violation of my privacy and rights regarding photos of my trade with my vanity plates on their website without my knowledge and they admitted that they should never have done that and just said “we’re sorry, we promise to do better.” Really sad excuse because they didn’t care about me, they were only worried about selling my trade in to make money and Lock me further into the deal. I magically received a refund of $75 back to my Amex card and asked the Sales Experience Manager about it & she and her accounting dept had no explanation. She said “be happy you got a refund” I vented my frustrations thus far/asked them to remove the tire and wheel protection if they were going to do anything about increasing the value of my trade or somehow making it up to me on the fiasco with posting my plates on their website without my explicit permission. They said they couldn’t cancel it because my lease was anl effective 11/14/22. This was the first time I heard them say my lease start date. I asked them why did my lease start 15 days before my car arrived? They said this is how we do things. So I lost 15 days worth of my first months payment (close to $300). It’s been over 30 days and I haven’t received my registration sticker for transferring my personalized plates. Dealership won’t respond or provide any updates on this issue. Regarding the Corporate Acura Satisfaction survey, they will coach you on exactly how to fill it out. They say fill it out based on your feelings on your experience with your specific sales person (Sales Experience Manager). Dealerships should not be coaching clients (leading them on what to enter in the survey). She even said “even if you feel I only deserve a 9 out of 10 that’s not good enough and they will actually subtract money from my paycheck. please give me a rating of a 10 on all questions and I can get more money in my paycheck.” You think I want to allow the dealership or sales person to make more money on my deal when they didn’t want to pay me a fair value for my trade? When they started my lease over 2 weeks early and I lost close to $300 of my first months payment? Also beware, they wont tell you upfront that Acura/Honda is a captive lease lender... you will be stuck if you dont like your Acura!!! Also, when I picked up my vehicle, nobody was available to go over my new car features. What a horrible experience. More
By far the most professional and transparent dealership experience I’ve ever been a part of. Nathan was extremely helpful in showing the vehicle and communicating with me throughout what usually is a stres experience I’ve ever been a part of. Nathan was extremely helpful in showing the vehicle and communicating with me throughout what usually is a stressful process. But he made it very easy and without any pressure. Rafe, made the finance experience a breeze and extremely helpful, and transparent with all of the numbers, warranty and tire coverage. Even got the chance to test drive the vehicle over night and think things through. Again no pressure whatsoever and no feeling of being rushed. I really appreciate the transparency and professionalism of everyone in this dealership. A truly smooth transaction and experience. More
No service loaners. They expect me to sit here all day while the repairs that are covered under my warranty are being done. One of the “selling” points or “scams” that they boast about when trying to get while the repairs that are covered under my warranty are being done. One of the “selling” points or “scams” that they boast about when trying to get you to buy a car is the fact that they give out loaners. And not to mention, if I had just been a Walk in I could understand about having to wait here all day but the fact that I have had an appointment for almost 2 weeks really says something about this dealership. I wish I would have never purchased a vehicle from David McDavid Acura of Plano. They will tell you all the lies to get you to buy a vehicle, and then let you find out on your own that You can’t trust anything they say. If. I could bring my vehicle somewhere else I would but I can’t because they rolled my services into my loan and I can only come here until my 100,000 mile warranty is up. More

I test drove the car befor Below is a detailed account of my experience: I purchased a 2019 BMW X7 that had recently been turned in off of a lease. I test drove the car before it had been cleaned or inspected. I was told by the salesperson that for cars like BMW and Audi, they are inspected by their respective manufacturer dealerships as they are familiar with the mechanics of their vehicles. Later, I was informed that the car would not be inspected by BMW but by the Acura dealership and their technicians are more than capable of making sure the car is good to go. The car had 30K miles on it. When asked if all of the recommended maintenance had been completed, I was told what was done and that they others were only “recommended”. Whenever I took my previous BMWs in for service, they completed all the recommended services for that mileage point to make sure the car was operating at its peak. After I completed the paperwork for the purchase of the car and getting ready to leave, I was told that I had to turn in my car since I was trading it in. This would have been nice to know prior as I had not cleared anything out of my car. Other than providing me with some small bags that I had requested to help transfer my stuff from my car to the loaner, I was given no assistance by my salesperson who was standing by my car on his phone. While I realize it is not the job of the salesperson to help me transfer my stuff, since he did not give me prior notice I would need to surrender my vehicle, this would have been helpful as I was managing my 4yr old and our service dog at the same time. The windshield needed to replaced. I was told I would have the car by Friday as it was Monday at the time. Two and a half days went by, and I had not heard anything about car. On Thursday, I inquired about the status of the car, and I was told that the repair was going to be completed sometime on Friday. Friday afternoon around 430pm, I reached out again to inquire about the status of the car since I had not heard anything. I was told that they were on their way, but the car would not be ready by Friday as initially said. I informed him that I would be at the dealership at 10:30am on Saturday to pick up the car. Prior to leaving for the dealership, I notified my salesperson that I was on my way. When I arrived to pick up the car, I was only provided with one car key. When I test drove the car the previous Saturday, I had specifically asked and was told that there were two keys for the vehicle. A replacement key is $500. It would have been nice to know this when I was negotiating the cost of the car. When I got inside the car, I noticed the inside of the car was dirty. I found plastic utensils, opened half used sauce packs, full unopened sauce packs, French fries, food crumbs, candy, etc. in between and under the seats. The floor had been barely “lightly” vacuumed. Notification was made on Friday that I would be picking up the car on Saturday. While I understand the timeline of when a car is cleaned prior to a customer picking up the vehicle, there was plenty of advance notice for the car to have been cleaned. Simply looking under the seat, these things would have been easily spotted. I was disgusted the more I went through the car at how dirty it was. Additionally, I had inadvertently left my trunk mat in my old car. That wasn’t transferred to the new car as I was told it would be. When I went back inside the dealership to get my trunk mat and discuss the dirty car, the salesperson said that he had them clean it twice and said he was sorry. If this was considered cleaned, I would hate to see what they call dirty. As I was getting ready to pull out, he came back out and told me he could have them clean the car again before I left. I didn’t have time and had to leave with my new luxury car dirty. It’s frustrating to pay 70+k for a car that is dirty and that I have to get cleaned. When I got home to load up the car to leave for our trip, I noticed the car tag was missing. I contacted my salesperson and he said that he had put it on, and it must have come off while driving. I was provided a copy that I screwed on and have had no problems with it coming off as I used all 4 screws to make sure it was secure. I also noticed when I turned on the car there was a message about the car status regarding the tire pressure. While it was still in the green, all four tires were well below the recommended tire pressure for the car. When checking the service lights on the car, this should have been noticed and corrected as the notification came on as soon as the car was turned on. When I contacted the dealership and spoke to a sales manager, to discuss my frustration with the service I received. I was offered to bring the car back to the dealership and have it cleaned but it is a 45-minute drive without traffic. Additionally, they had 2 opportunities to clean the car correctly and did a poor job on both occasions. During my discussion, I also discussed the issue with only being provided with one key when I was told there would be two. He told me to provide him with a copy of the receipt of purchase for the 2nd key and they could help out with that. I ordered a replacement key two days after I picked up the car and provided a copy of the receipt on September 20th. I received a response that the sales manager was going to get with his director to see how to proceed. On September 28th, I followed up as I had not heard anything back and was told that they were in the process of getting a check request approved for me. Now, here it is October 14th and I still have not heard from him or received a reimbursement check for the purchase of the spare key. A car can be purchased at any dealership. What sets one apart from another is the level of customer service provided. Based on my experience with misinformation, lack of communication, lack of follow through with the cleanliness of the car prior to pick up, and reimbursement for the cost of the 2nd key, I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my overall experience. I would not recommend this dealer to anyone based on my experience. More
Tried to purchase a new car. Checked on the Clicklane website.

Yesterday my mother, who is in her 70s, took her car to the dealership to get its annual inspection for her registration. After she left the dealership, she went to the tax office, waited in line, and fina the dealership to get its annual inspection for her registration. After she left the dealership, she went to the tax office, waited in line, and finally was able to present her paperwork for registration - only to find out that she could not do so because her car had FAILED it’s annual inspection because of a FACTORY RECALL. So not only did the dealership fail to even mention that her car failed inspection before they sent her on her way, they didn’t bother to address the factory recall in the slightest. She has since called the dealership, but both the manager and technician were conveniently not at their desks or able to return calls to her. I find this situation maddening on so many levels. She will have to use another dealership to take care of the recall (which maybe was their goal in the first place). This is my first negative review I’ve ever felt compelled to leave, but this dealership has made zero effort for a senior citizen. More

I had a horrible experience with MacDavid Acura in Plano. I scheduled an appointment with them and went there to replace a fuel pump assembly for my TLX. However they said that they didn’t even know about t I scheduled an appointment with them and went there to replace a fuel pump assembly for my TLX. However they said that they didn’t even know about the appointment and didn’t have the correct parts and basically didn’t do anything. I received a confirmation email for my appointment beforehand. They notified me that I should come back later but obviously they didn’t want to replace the parts because it was a recall. I gave them a call many times but each time they transferred my call to a voicemail and didn’t even called me back. I just can’t believe their unprofessional behavior. More
