Awesome experience buying a vehicle from Felipe and Nico. They were supportive and gave all the information I needed and an extended test drive to make sure everything on the vehicle was working well. Will recommend this business

We looked high and low for a very specific vehicle and drove 3 hours to get it. Alina was so helpful and made sure she held it back for us while we were driving there. We love our new vehicle

I was interested in a 2012 Audi A4 they had and I went and bought it. Staff is actually pretty friendly but I’m not sure how much you can trust the cars. They did an excellent job getting the paper work done and going to extra mile to make sure I was able to get it done efficiently( who wouldn’t when selling a car ). In my opinion, I think it’s fair to assume they had bought the car from an auction and it’s probably my fault that I didn’t look into the car itself but after 30 days had past I found out it was consuming oil. After taking it to Audi, I found out there was a 7000 dollar repair job to fix the issue. In all fairness they probably weren’t aware that there was a broken seal but if you want to buy a used car, I wouldn’t chose this place. I would consider a place that has protected warranty on the car. And DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Great place. Good customer service. Worked with us to get the car we wanted. Made sure we got the down payment we wanted and the payments we could afford. Also a free tank of gas.

Sam and the team gave me top notch service on getting my new winter driver. They got the money where I needed it and got the approval even while Im fixing my credit from being out of work. Great team and great cars. You are a person here not just another car buyer.

Bought a car here summer 2021. tl;dr would definitely shop here again, now that I know the lay of the land.PROS: Cars cosmetically are the nicest of any of the used car dealers I visited during this sales cycle, and also seemed to drive well. Everyone is used-car-dealer-sleazily-friendly (which I like, its fine). Mechanically your mileage may vary, but I was pleased with what I saw.CONS: Unethical sales/negotiation tactics (well fix all safety elements on us, including new tires false), notarized contract pages were not done in front of me (big no no for notaries). Their job is to sell cars, not sell you cars in the condition you like. Get your pre-purchase inspection done, and dont negotiate with them to include repairs at an increased cost. The salesperson is paying for those repairs out of their commission, so the more they can cut corners post-purchase, when youre locked in, the more they profit. Learned that lesson the hard way and ultimately got some cash back when they failed to fulfill the we owe portion of the contract, after 45 days of trying to get them to complete what was agreed to.

Was looking to purchase a vehicle from this dealer but the car was sold as I was walking in with paperwork, which is understandable since I didnt put down a non-refundable deposit. The service here was okay. This place is very busy, not just with people, but their parking lot is full of vehicles, some had flat tires. The employees were laid back but some were just unprofessional. I would return if I had to but this probably wouldnt be my first choice at a car dealership.

I would like to thank felipe and junior helping me get a car(2011 kia forte sx) for an amazing deal and its under mileage. They were very patient and intuitive in my wants and need of a car and with the financial part I fully understand and came with a awesome price/deal. Im thankful for yall and it was nice working with you. Very caring people.I would highly recommend this place 🥰🥰🥰😁😁

I drove over an hour to check out a Porsche Cayenne GTS for a possible test drive. I was immediately asked can I help you? without even getting a good ten seconds to look at it. I told them I wanted a test drive; they immediately wanted to perform a credit check. I knew that was not how all dealerships operate so I refused. I told them I had the cash to buy it outright if I wanted; they still refused as they stated it was the owners policy for all vehicles they consider to be high value. I test drove a Porsche Panamera Turbo the other month [which costs more than the Cayenne]: the salesman gladly drove it off the showroom floor, handed me the keys and said take your time. All he needed was a copy of my drivers license. The Cayenne was on the lot by the way. If someone asks for your credit rating before offering you a test drive, theyre trying to pull something. Either that or theyre profiling customers.

Review №13

Avoid this place. Their prices are misleading. They have a vague disclaimer on their site that would void the promo price. Wearing a red shirt could jack the vehicle price up. Staff is rude. Wont tell you how much youre financing. Theyll tell you what your month payment will be after adding on a lot of bloat like extended warranty. When you start asking questions, they like to change the subject and make up stories about how their family is where you live. If you still want to buy a vehicle here. Dont tell them how much you are putting down before you get the price in writing. Dont tell them you have a trade in before getting the price in writing. Try to finance on your own. Not many people know this but dealerships like these will add interest to your loan. Say a lender they work with will loan you the money at 5%, the dealership can add whatever they want to that. That extra % then gets split between the salesperson and the dealership. Places like these are no better than those cash advance services.

Best dealership in the tri-state! Hands down some of the best options to choose from. Christian is awesome went there late night a few minutes before closing and he was such a professional ready to help with no hesitations. Definitely landed me a good deal and made the process smooth and easy. Got a nice family car and best of all created a good relationship with this dealership. If you want a car check them out and visit christian he is the #carplug will get you the car you need!

Excellent buying experience.very pleased with all of the staff I dealt with. The Salesman Jordan, wasn’t just trying to sell me a car, he was very personable. Finance manager, I feel went above and beyond to help get us the best deal. I was hesitant at first because it wasn’t one of those huge dealerships, but this was one of the best buying experiences I’ve had. I will be buying again when it’s time to upgrade or purchase another vehicle.

Bought a used Miata from them. Ran perfectly fine for one week. Then the clutch master cylinder went out, then the clutch slave cylinder went out, then the fuel pump went out, and the fuel filter and plugs needed to be replaced due to the gas tank having water and gunk in it. I had to get towed THREE times in the second week of owning. I called Automotive Connection to see what they could do and all they had to say was “that’s how it goes”. Do not give them your business!

My boyfriend and I drove from Columbus to look at cars in the Cincinnati area and stumbled across Automotive Connection. We were very impressed comparing their inventory to other dealers in the area. We were helped by Sam and he wasn’t pushy at all throughout the entire process (which we were not used to). I highly recommend buying from here!! Thanks again!!

Great experience. The lot is filled with anything you need, and the staff here is very helpful and does good business. I had an issue with a car the day after I bought it, and they had me bring it in and fixed it for free. I dealt with Ryan and he jumped over backwards to help, frequently sprinting across the lot for keys and spitting out Carfax reports and personal suggestions. I was lucky to find this place for sure.

Review №33

So I did not end up purchasing a vehicle but these guys always provide a great, friendly, dealership experience. I did my research online, came in and asked for the specific car, they got the keys, and didn’t aggressively push me to look at anything else - just offered some excellent suggestions based on my choice of car I researched originally. I have been coming to this dealership for years to check out their inventory which is massive with low to high end models galore. The guys and girls here are extremely friendly and this dealership has almost a barbershop/beauty salon vibe.I will continue to look here when I search for a car with no hesitation. Herb was great to work with and an absolute character — he’s hilarious!Oh, and if you’re in the market for a small SUV — they have an awesome 2013 BMW X1 35i xdrive with 80,xxx miles (N55 engine) that drives excellently with zero issues I could see on my inspection. Only reason I didn’t buy is because I’m too large for the car at 6’4” 280lbs.Don’t sleep on this dealership!

My experience at Automotive Connection was awesome. I purchased a used Ford F-150 truck. It was just what I was looking for. They were able to get a very low finance rate with one of the banks they use. They also gave me a great deal on a trade in that I also owed on and rolled the remaining loan into my new loan. I would recommend Automotive Connections to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

This is the best place to buy a car from, hands down. My Wife’s mother drove 4 hours to help us find a car for my wife, every place we went to had cars in poor shape, out of our price range or were blatantly disrespectful. As soon as we met with Ryan at Automotive Connection we knew we were in the right place. Him and John were incredibly helpful, found us multiple great cars in our price range and made the process of buying our car seamles and stress free. They were kind and patient with us, even took the time to get to know us as people. 10/10 will recommend to anyone looking for a good car from good people.

Purchased my first used car here last night from Sam and Jon. After some wintery weather the week before my old 1999 sedan just couldnt take it anymore, so I needed an upgrade relatively quickly. I spoke with Sam and Jon about what I was looking for in a new-to-me used vehicle and when I went to the dealership, they had the Chevy Cruze I was eyeing already pulled around and started up. I was able to take it for a spin and signed the papers shortly afterward. Very transparent, no-frills service and they did a great job helping me qualify for financing and get out of a serious jam. Great guys selling some beautiful cars.

Sam was the gentleman who sold my husband and I the vehicle. He was very friendly and never made us feel pressured to purchase. Junior was the man who worked up the financials. He clearly explained the financial process and gave us multiple payment options. We ended up buying a vehicle, not only because it fit our needs, but also because of the honesty and professionalism of these two men. Thank you!

On Friday at end of day I put in a $300 deposit from me on a van and they claimed it would hold the van for 7 days. Mentioned before placing the deposit that I wanted it inspected.When I called Monday and asked them to drive it to a service center 4 minutes down the road, they said they had too many people interested in it and that they would refund my $300 deposit. I was ready to buy the van as long as it checked out.Guess my $300 deposit didnt REALLY hold the van for 7 days. Pretty bad customer service.Edit: After fumbling around for a day, the dealer changed their mind and took the van to the mechanic. It ended up having obvious issues, cosmetic and functional, that they failed to mention to me.

Junior stepped in later to go over the contract while we waited for the car to be detailed and he was very thorough and nice and replaced the windshield wiper blades for free!!

Review №85

By far the worst I have ever been treated as not only a customer, but as a person in general. After returning 4 times for what should have been a one time trip and them only taking my father seriously and not me, I finally expressed my frustration. After excuses and their financial manager trying to put the blame on me (?) I asked to speak with the owner. Instead, they brought over the GM. Before I could even finish explaining the situation, this man began yelling at me and my mother cursing at us and calling us names that were completely disrespectful and totally out of line, while also stating various threats. Not a single person intervened and even after this, NOTHING was made right. I am still in shock over the situation and I URGE you to take your business elsewhere. This place is unprofessional, misogynistic, and could care less about taking care of their paying customers. Please take this and other reviews, as well as complaints on the Better Business Bureau, seriously as they have turned my first car buying experience into a nightmare.
