I've been bringing my car to Autonation for several years. But recently the heat in my car stopped working. I brought it in early Oct. to get it fixed. After 3 visits they said that it might be my ther years. But recently the heat in my car stopped working. I brought it in early Oct. to get it fixed. After 3 visits they said that it might be my thermostat. They swapped it out but I ended up coming back within a couple days because my heat still wasn't working. Fast forward to right before Thanksgiving I brought my car in at 7:30 am again with the same problem. I did not get a call all day so I called. I was told that there was a hose left unconnected (only people who touch my car is Autonation so it was obviously left unconnected by their mechanics) and there was another issue (which was probably caused by the unconnected hose) and they needed to call my warranty company to see if they'd cover the parts and labor. It was agreed upon that the service rep would call the warranty company the next morning and let me know. I ended up not hearing anything until I called close to closing time and I was told my case was given to the manager who proceeded to tell me the same info that was told to me the previous day. I tried to be understanding because it was right before a holiday and I requested that I get a loaner car because my car is pretty much out of commission. The manager called back the next day and told me he had one and it would be dropped off to me. Well, I was obviously forgotten about and had I not called I wouldn't have gotten a rental. The holiday passes without any call (almost three weeks) so I finally stopped by the dealership. I am then told that my case was passed off to another service rep and he shows me that he's been communicating with the warranty company. I express my displeasure about no body even bothering to contact me but I however thank him for contacting the warranty company. It's been a week since then. I've called three times left messages with the receptionist April and Justin and I have yet to get a call back about the status of my car. At this point I have been without my car for a month and I just want my car back and fixed. This is ridiculous. More
Dropped my car off at 10:45 for a diagnostic. Nobody planned on calling me back and sure of that. So I called back myself around 3:45 and was placed on hold for 15 minutes literally. I hung up and call planned on calling me back and sure of that. So I called back myself around 3:45 and was placed on hold for 15 minutes literally. I hung up and called back and April put me on hold again but this time, 38 minutes. She asked for my name and car and put me on hold AGAIN. I hung up after another 15 minutes. I called back and she said "I am so sorry I forgot you were on hold and I will call you back with info and let the team know but I am so sorry." There is no excuse and I'll never refer or come back to automation especially as a enterprise manager, I will make sure we do not work with a store that provides such poor service. Oh, and the funniest thing is nothing was wrong with my car according to them. Took me finding out at 5pm that nothing is wrong and that I can get my car. I couldn't get there by 6 and had to call out of work for today. You guys are terrible in laurel More

Worse customer service and poor management in service I came in for a oil change and was helped by Jenese. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained services that were recommended but when I I came in for a oil change and was helped by Jenese. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained services that were recommended but when I checked my GM handbook for my recommendations none of the stuff was there. I asked the advisor why she recommend things for my car that GM does not require and she was honest and explained that are are purely preventive maintenance items offered by autonation. While I appreciate her honesty I still do not understand why at 88.000 miles I need a alignment my brake fluid flushed fuel system service transmission flush and some kind of oil additive. GM doesn’t even recommend changing spark plugs until 100,000. But that’s not the worse part while there I encountered and overheard a heated conversation between some of the employees. I learned later that the other lady advisor Nia who has a very foul mouth and bad attitude problem was yelling at a light skinned gentleman. She cursed him out so bad and loud that I heard it I. The waiting room. I went to check and see if everything was alright just to find the service manager Derek Kline standing right there saying nothing at all. Can you believe he did nothing and this isn’t the first time this has happened. This place is childish. When talking to the manager about this he seem to dismiss my concerns. Not only did that leave a bad taste in my mouth about these guys but the technician left the old oil in my car and put new oil in. My car began to act funny when I drove it so I had my husband look at it and he drained three big containers of oil out the car and the car was still full of oil. I took my car back the next day and Jenese came right out and helped me. She later confirmed my suspicions and had my car cleaned also. Although Jenese was great I will never take my car back there. I’ve never been to a place where the manager looks you in your face smiles and tells you that the technician couldn’t have done that. More

If I could give No stars I would - Pass on AutoNation Laurel Let me say, Most importantly do NOT purchase a vehicle from AutoNation Laurel and secondly, if you make that mistake DO NOT make the mistake of listen Let me say, Most importantly do NOT purchase a vehicle from AutoNation Laurel and secondly, if you make that mistake DO NOT make the mistake of listening to the lies by salesman Earl. I purchased a 2010 SRX from them and it has been the largest financial mistake I have ever made. Not only did this vehicle have issues unknown to me [although Earl stated, "our cars are certified and tested... They must be tested by kindergarteners!] from day one. Upon my 30 "check-in" they made and charged me for issues I did not authorize. First money expended, then I had to have the struts replaced! within the month and that was just the beginning. Every month there has been an issue but the 3K+ warranty they had me purchase has not covered ONE thing wrong with the vehicle. I had shelled out over $3K and I have only had the car for a year AND I mainly take the metro as you never know when this car will work!! It was murderous trying to get in touch with management when I first started having issues and every time I post somethin and they ask me to contact them, they NEVER respond! Upon once issue when they were working on my car my camera tripod was stolen from the rental they supplied within ONE hour of me returning the car!! The stress I have suffered dealing with them has been egregious. Their folder states "Drive with confidence.. Worry Free Pre-owned vehicles" THIS IS A LIE! Purchase your new, used...vehicles from ANYONE, a guy on the street, the used unknown lot down the street, Jim Coleman, DARSCARS, CarMax but DO NOT patron these charlatans. I can't believe Earl had the nerve to ask me to recommend him to friends and family! Trying to get the service Mgr, Derek to even take my calls was an uphill battle and then he did nothing but blow smoke once I spoke with him face to face. One thing I cannot in good judgement do, is recommend AutoNation Laurel to anyone. The GM was the only person who tried to help but he really did nothing. Please contact if you would like more information on the interactions and lack of service from them offerspam00@gmail.com Please don't go through the nightmare and financial distress these people have put me through and I continue to experience. Lastly, my sister's mother in law purchased a NEW vehicle from them and had to demand a replacement, so it is just not the "worry free pre-owned" vehicles. I am paying for a very expensive paper weight. We must stand against the lies and disingenuous practices of places like this!! More

Appointment for recall inexplicably blown I made an appointment and drove 35 minutes each way for a Chevrolet Impala recall that can affect airbag deployment. Chevrolet indicates the problem i I made an appointment and drove 35 minutes each way for a Chevrolet Impala recall that can affect airbag deployment. Chevrolet indicates the problem is solved with the application of anti-abrasion tape, inspection (not requiring removal of seat according to Chevrolet), and, if needed, replacement part. Ended up wasting an entire afternoon (and more that is not their fault) and they couldn't even tell me the results of the inspection of the vehicle.. The incident is blamed by the service manager on techs and "they"--the people that overbooked us. You, the general manager, are responsible for all three--so here is what happened. As I checked in shortly around 12:20, I asked how long the service would take. The service manager said 2 hours (the letter says service correction time is one hour, but OK). I called back to confirm after an hour to check if they would be able to complete by 2:15, because I really needed to leave by 2:30.. They said would check on it. No word back. When I come at 2:20 the service manager spots my car going into the service bay and goes find out what is happening with it. Comes back and service manager says it is not complete AND they are unable to complete it in the afternoon "because they overbooked us" and "the techs leave at 4:00." Offers to reschedule the appointment. After scrambling to pick up my children from school I called back to find out what happened and what had been done or learned in the two hours the car was there--was there wear on the part of related to the recall concern? Would it need to be replaced? Doesn't know. Service manager offers that he had chewed out the techs, things sometime take long--but no apology. I'm sorry, but if you are empowered manager in this situation, the techs don't leave a 4:00. A) they finish the work the customer made advance appointment for, and 2) you apologize when it takes longer than you estimated! You don't blame your employer for allowing walk in appointments and simply offer to reschedule--as if people can just take another two hours out of THEIR day for your screw up, no problem. No apology--nothing other than, "would you like a loaner car for your next appointment?" I scheduled an appointment with Oursman Chevrolet for the following week. They completed the job and it was done in about an hour, just as the recall notice said. I was in and out of there in an hour and a half. More
terrible service and rude unprofessional staff. waited for 7.5 hrs for a 4 wheel alignment on my vehicle, no explanation other than my mechanic had to help other mechanics. met the parts manager son waited for 7.5 hrs for a 4 wheel alignment on my vehicle, no explanation other than my mechanic had to help other mechanics. met the parts manager son after this, was one of the rudest young people you would ever want to meet. the cashier couldn't figure out how to process my check so i was told by this young man mentioned earlier that my check wasn't any good. never been so angry in a long time, don't let the fancy looking building fool you. paid my bill got my car home and the alignment still isn't right. oh i won't go back to let them try again.

To this day my new car sounds horrible, Know I am force to take to another to figure out what they did to my car. More
