If you just want the short version: If you’re in the market for an Acura just go to Goodson Acura of Dallas. In my 48 years on this planet, I’ve rarely experienced anything quite like it. Granted, for t market for an Acura just go to Goodson Acura of Dallas. In my 48 years on this planet, I’ve rarely experienced anything quite like it. Granted, for the first 17 years I wasn’t exactly in the market for a car, but hopefully you get my point… Now, if you’ve got a few minutes, grab yourself a drink, sit back, relax, and enjoy the longer version: I’m stating the obvious, but car dealerships are businesses. They’re there to make money, not give cars away out of the goodness of their hearts. They have owners to answer to, employees to pay, and profits to make. Nothing wrong with that. But here’s what I’ve never quite understood. Almost every dealership will tell you about their “insert dealership name here” EXPERIENCE. They’ll explain how they’re different, how they go above and beyond, and how you simply won’t find their level of service anywhere else. Over the past weekend, my wife and I visited several dealerships across the Metroplex. We heard plenty about these experiences, yet very few could actually demonstrate what made them so special. We’d decided that an Acura MDX would be my wife’s next vehicle, and after visiting a couple of Acura dealerships, we discovered that Goodson was not only the closest to home but also had the exact vehicle she wanted, right down to the exterior and interior colours. Enter salesperson Brayden Leroy. Now, I’ve always been told never to trust someone with two first names, but here’s where things got interesting. Brayden never once mentioned the “Goodson experience.” He didn’t immediately offer us coffee, water, or a snack. There was no grand introduction, no rehearsed sales pitch, and no attempt to convince us we were about to experience something life-changing. He simply showed us the vehicle, answered our questions, and let us make up our own minds. When I asked for their best price, including discounts, he didn’t insist we come inside, sit at his desk, and wait 20–30 minutes while he disappeared into a back office to speak with his manager. In fact, he was perfectly happy to stand outside with us because our daughter was asleep in our car. I wasn’t asked what monthly payment I wanted. Nobody demanded the VIN of our trade-in, which we didn’t have with us anyway. Nobody tried to establish how much money they could squeeze out of us before giving us a price. I asked for a price. They gave me one. There was no pressure, no exaggerated laughter at every joke I made, and nobody chasing us as we left, asking what it would take to get us into a vehicle that day. It was simple, down-to-earth, comfortable, and refreshingly normal. A few hours after leaving, I reached back out with a counteroffer. They accepted it. No drama, no games, and no nonsense. The following day, we were back at Goodson, trading in our vehicle and driving away in a brand-new Acura MDX. Throughout the entire process, everyone we dealt with was absolutely brilliant. Brayden Leroy (Salesperson and occasional, albeit unintentional, Adam Sandler impersonator), Brandon Johnson (New Car Director, who shared a genuinely meaningful conversation about family), Ankur Javia (General Manager and fellow Colman’s Mustard enthusiast), and Kevin Aquino (Finance Manager and proud dad to Big Tex). Not once did anyone at Goodson try to sell us on the “Goodson experience.” They didn’t need to, because they simply delivered it. I’ve purchased enough vehicles over the years to know that buying a car can sometimes feel like an exhausting exercise in negotiation, patience, and occasionally questioning your own sanity. This wasn’t one of those occasions. So, if you’re in the market for an Acura, or even an Audi, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Goodson of Dallas. They seem to have figured out, in my opinion, the best customer experience. More

I really appreciated how there weren't thousands of dollars in nonsense fees added to the total cost. It made negotiating much simpler. No high pressure salesman was a plus also. Our finance guy wasn't dollars in nonsense fees added to the total cost. It made negotiating much simpler. No high pressure salesman was a plus also. Our finance guy wasn't high pressure at all either about buying warranties, etc. It was the opposite of what you expect when going to a dealership to buy a car! More
