I had amazing service from everyone I talked to. Tammy helped me through my whole experience and made sure to ask me what i was looking for. They have a variety of vehicles and she showed me the best deals. Within a couple hours she found me an amazing vehicle and at a great price. I highly recommend coming here for a vehicle and will most likely be coming back when I'm ready for another one.

I just recently purchased a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 at your store and had the pleasure of dealing with Ernesto in sales and Jesse the Finance Mgr. I knew exactly what I was looking for and they had it. There was absolutely NO again NO salesman pressure or hard sale what so ever and Jesse explained everything in basic simple terms. My full truck purchase experience was nothing but EXCELLENT! Maybe you gentlemen should teach some other dealerships how to make a sale go smoothly. Many many thanks to Ernesto and Jesse! When I'm ready for my next purchase for my wife I will definitely come to see you. Well done gentlemen

For the love of God, do NOT buy a vehicle here. It was easily the worst car buying experience of my life! To keep it brief, they sold my husband a vehicle (we put 10k down) and a month later the transmission solenoid went out. While it was in the shop getting repaired, automax was USELESS in getting him a rental so that he could continue working. We argued with them and their GM, Tony for WEEKS to get reimbursement for the rental we had to pay for due to the negligence of Automax.
Many MANY arguments later they gave us $500 to go away and told us to take our review off the BBB (I also HIGHLY recommend you read their BBB complaints. This is not new behavior for them). It is honestly so so bad! All in all, save yourself the frustration that we just went through and go to a more reputable car dealership. Stay far away from these guys.

I recently just bought a great car from here and I could not say more amazing things about this place! I'm a college student so my budget is a little on the tighter side but with the help of Tammy, she stopped at nothing to get me the best deal and went above and beyond for me, even detailing the car herself so I could take it home the very day they got it in! She is truly amazing and as sweet as can be, I highly recommend asking for her!
My family and i will be going back to her for years to come when it's time for us to get new cars again! I couldn't be more a happy and truly recommend everyone to go here, and ask for Tammy to help you!

Edgar was an awesome sales manager and so was the guy that helped show us the car. I believe his name was Frank. I feel like the prices here are slightly on the higher side but overall not bad and worth not having to drive 200+ miles for a car. If you use their financing discount and trade in a vehicle that helps a lot. No pushy sales which was great. Everything went smooth. Highly recommend!

This team are miracle workers! I don't have good credit and they got me in my dream family car. Has all the amazing features you hope to get in a vehicle and then some. I expressed my needs and wants and they made it happen! They even took my trade from a buy here pay here. We had a few bumps with financing but they wouldn't quit till they got me approved. I appreciate you guys so much. Thank you to Rich and Ramon! Renee M.

Ryan was pretty helpful with helping us find what suited us. As a younger salesman he showed great initiative and was always able to answer questions or find the answers. This initiative I feel serves him well in his abilities to help customers feel at easy in a decision that can make or break your bank account. Overall great experience with all the staff.
