The The Short Version: Internet Jeff (Loftis) is awesome, customer service focused, and a pleasant change from the other car salesmen I've met. The long version: My husband and I were in the market for a new car for him and settled on the 2009 Kia Sportage for a variety of reasons. Jeff Loftis (Internet Jeff, he told me to call him) called immediately after I put in an inquiry on the website and was very understanding when I asked to communicate via text, we arranged the entire process over text and emails! There was a hiccup with financing and I moved on, but on our behalf Jeff kept working to get the numbers right so we could get the car my husband wanted. He texted today to let us know and were there less than 30 minutes signing papers since we did it all online. Jeff is very friendly and customer service driven: I would recommend him to anyone looking for a car in the Atlanta area! More

STAY AWAY! As I began the process of buying my first car, I had heard all of the horror stories of others buying cars and how painful it was. I thought things wo As I began the process of buying my first car, I had heard all of the horror stories of others buying cars and how painful it was. I thought things would be different for me - how stupid! My experience at Sutherlin Nissan started out innocently enough. I met with my salesman, Diego, and he seemed genuinely interested in getting me a good deal. I should have started ringing the alarm bells when I was getting push-back when asking for details on price, fees, etc. All Diego was worried about was giving me a reasonable monthly payment, (SLIMY SALES TACTIC) instead of laying out the actual costs of the cars. I was shocked at how caught off guard Diego was at some of my questions and how wishy-washy he was in giving me a firm price. Ultimately, we agreed to a price and then came the fun part - Curt in the finance department. I've seen others post about Curt on this message board, and shame on me for not reading this and going in more prepared. As others said, Curt seemed genuinely UN-interested in the financing/paperwork process. Here I am making a large financial commitment, and he looked like he would rather be anywhere else than with me. First, he asked me for gap insurance, which I refused because I know I can get a better price with my own auto insurance provider, and he looked at me like I was stupid. As we started going through paperwork, he got frustrated when I asked for more details on my loan and the purchase price. How discussing in detail the structure of the loan is not a standard part of the negotiations is beyond me. Surely this isn't standard practice at other auto dealers? After I prodded him for more details on the loan, I discovered that they had stuck me with a 6-year loan (I asked for a 5-year loan at the highest) and a lower down payment than I had agreed to with Diego Again, this seemed very slimy to me, as this just means more of a cut on interest for the dealership. After we hurriedly got through the paperwork and I got Curt to change the financing structure to what I had agreed to with Diego, I left the dealership with my car. After reviewing the paperwork the following day, I discovered that a fee of $1,500 had been slipped into the purchase price in addition to the price I had agreed to with Diego. I share in the blame here, as I should have been pushing back more on Curt and Diego, but the environment he promoted was very anti-consumer and I can see now that it was all a part of Sutherlin Nissan's game. I will not be returning to Sutherlin Nissan and will be strongly discouraging anyone I know from going here to purchase a car. More

Sales Manager - Shelton Thacker LIED to me! I went into the Sutherlin Nissan Dealer at the Mall of Georgia to look at their used Trucks for sale and found a Ford F-150 that I was interested in. I went into the Sutherlin Nissan Dealer at the Mall of Georgia to look at their used Trucks for sale and found a Ford F-150 that I was interested in. I started working with Sales Consultant, Ryan Mitchell who showed me the Truck. I thought the Truck was priced a little high based on other Trucks I had looked at previously and inquired about what their "Bottom Price" was for the Truck. Ryan went to get the Sales Manager, Shelton Thacker. Shelton seemed reluctant to state a price until I started to leave the dealership. He then gave me a price that peaked my interest. Being that it was dark outside, I told Shelton that I would come back earlier the next day to take a closer look at the Truck in the daylight. I took a half a day off work the following day to ensure I had enough time to make it to the dealership before dark. If the truck looked as good in the daylight as it did at night, I had full intentions on buying it that day. When I arrived at the dealership, I found Shelton Thacker to let him know I was back to take a closer look at the Truck. Much to my disappointment, Shelton admitted to me that he lied about the price of the truck in order to get me to come back to the dealership and had no intentions of honoring the price he quoted me the night before! Needless to say that I was furious and felt violated being that not only did he waste my time, but also cost me a half a day of work! Never in my life have I had a worse customer service experience from any company!! More

Bad Experience Right from the beginning the salesperson Ryan never had a smile. 2 visits and never a smile on his face. Anyways the manager Charlie was no good eithe Right from the beginning the salesperson Ryan never had a smile. 2 visits and never a smile on his face. Anyways the manager Charlie was no good either. Ryan knew nothing about the process. Just kept asking questions, filling paperwork and running around leaving us hanging. Said something different then the manager says something different. Before getting on the negotiations I made it very clear I will finance with my credit union since they are giving me an excellent interest rate of 1.73. Charlie said we will match it. When the time comes to sign he says our interest rate will be a minimum of 2.99 and if you don't finance with us then your price will be higher. I walked out from there. went 1 mile to ALM Mall of Georgia and completed my purchase with a very professional sales person named Chris. More

Check your new cars paint closely for flaws before signing ..First, I purchased a new Altima last year and the first thing I noticed was I was never credited with my One-to-One credit of $500 that was in my ac ..First, I purchased a new Altima last year and the first thing I noticed was I was never credited with my One-to-One credit of $500 that was in my account. This was the third new car in less than 10 years + I bought a few used cars here as well without a problem. When I questioned they said " it was worked into the deal" but they could not show me exactly where it was applied and I lost the $500.....Second, I did not go over the car closely before buying it and there were at least 5 paint imperfections such as dirt particles, small fibers and bubbles that were baked into the paint as it dried that I noticed after waxing it the first time. They offered to "buff them out" instead of replacing the car because buffing would only accentuate the problem and I did not want to go down the route when I go to sell it with buff marks that make it look like it was in an accident and the defects would look like it was repainted. So I traded it in and it cost me over $5000 + $500 one to one rewards that I never got........and traveled only 1435 miles. Both Nissan and Sutherlin could have done a better job with building the car and then backing the car. A $26000. + car with paint that looked like it was painted in my neighbors garage was not acceptable to this car guy. More

Liars Called to buy a Nissan Versace as advertised on T.V. for my daughter going to college. After the recession our credit had taken a hit like most peopl Called to buy a Nissan Versace as advertised on T.V. for my daughter going to college. After the recession our credit had taken a hit like most people. The ad said no credit check and with $500.00 down and confirmed employment WOULD be approved. We had over the required amount and were not concerned based on FALSE advertising. DECLINED. What happened to honesty and morals? Just curious, has anyone else had this experience with this dealership? Everything turned out for the best in the end, we bought a new Ford Focus which was much nicer than the Nissan. Thanks for not taking us Southern, we are much happier with the 5 star crash impact rating of the Ford than the 4 star of the much smaller pieces of crap that you attempt to pass off as a car. Glad our daughter c is driving a safer car. More

Get everything in writing!! BEWARE of salesmen on the phone. I was given a quote yesterday for a Murano over the phone and agreed that if it would be emailed as proof, I would d BEWARE of salesmen on the phone. I was given a quote yesterday for a Murano over the phone and agreed that if it would be emailed as proof, I would drive from Roswell to purchase car. I was told it would be approved and sent right over - 30mins later nothing... I then called and salesman did not answer. I then got a call from Internet manager saying that actually the best they could do was around $1500 MORE than what I was just told. When I asked about the number I had been given the reply was "I don't know why he said that". If this is how they run their business I would stay away. There's plenty of other Nissan dealers. More

EXCELLENT Customer Service! I was in terrible need of a vehicle for about a couple of weeks after my old car had given up on me. I walked into Sutherlin Nissan with expectations I was in terrible need of a vehicle for about a couple of weeks after my old car had given up on me. I walked into Sutherlin Nissan with expectations of a smooth talker that just wanted all of my money with minimal time/effort. This couldn't be further from the truth! From beginning to end, my experience at Sutherlin Nissan Mall of Georgia was an impeccable one! I dealt with Shelton Thacker, who not only listened to my needs, but delivered on them. Not only was he able to meet my price point, he took care of the physical characteristics of my vehicle that needed to be adjusted. This was such a "WOW" experience. I am so happy that I decided to purchase a vehicle at this dealership and would hands-down recommend Sutherlin Nissan to anyone! Ask for Shelton Thacker :) More

I first communicated with the internet sales department which helped me narrow down what I was looking for weeks before I made my trip to the dealership. Upon arrival i was greeted immediately & was not pushed at all in regards to sales. My salesman sat down with my husband & I after getting us coffee, got an understanding of what I was interested in & let us browse the selection. The financial department was friendly, honest & very helpful with my purchase. Weeks later I am still amazed at what incredible staff this facility has & would not dream of going anywhere else in the future when it's time to purchase again.. More

Deceptive. Rude. Insulting. Went to look at a vehicle we found online. Price on vehicle was $2200+ higher than advertised online.

They fed us a typical load of crap then said they would "give" us the drive out price shown on the vehicle (which would have been nearly $3500 over high end book value). They were extremely rude, insulting and lied to us on several occasions. We know the games these ____s play and went with it for a while but were so disgusted after them insulting us repeatedly, we walked. As we were leaving they told us if we didn't get it now, they would raise the price in spite and sure enough, they raised the online price $600 before we got home. How childish and unprofessional. I will never go there again and would not recommend them, even to someone I don't like. More
