This dealer is terrible. They lured me in by claiming to be aggressive on pricing but then refused to negotiate price. They also do not work with Navy Federal Credit Union. S More

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the lack of washer fluid in the vehicle and the oil reset light being on. The staff is glad to hear that you are happy with the vehicle and had a great experience with your salesperson. We are disappointed that you would call an entire disorganization, "dishonest" and "corrupt" because we do not have a Dealer Agreement with Navy Federal Credit Union. We would like to request that you reconsider your review.

Hello Automax Ocala. Thank you for reviewing my review and I hope it helps you to improve your business for future buyers. I think I was pretty clear in my review. The Salesperson I dealt with was indeed great and I have no criticism of her. She unfortunately works for an organization that does not appear to value their employees or set them up for success. Sales-personnel should have the confidence to sell a vehicle knowing it’s history and confident that the company has properly prepared the vehicle for sale. Automax failed to do that, in my opinion you are lucky to have Her. If She would like a reference from me, I would be happy to provide it. When I spoke about being “lured” in with a great price I was referring to my text inquiry before traveling to Ocala. I have saved them for my records, your Representative made it clear they would negotiate. When I arrived that was not the case. I purchased the vehicle because that make and model with the features I wanted was not available anywhere else in a reasonable distance. My decision to purchase was in-spite of my misgivings concerning Automax. To be clear the car was attractive enough to overcome my experience with your dealership. Overall I do believe the price was fair but was not negotiated to a great price as I was led to believe before taking a day off and driving 2 hours. As far as the maintenance goes, I can provide photos and documentation from the dealership that corrected the problems. The cars computer was registering service required for a brake fluid flush, an oil change and tire pressure. The computer was actually set to the incorrect tire pressure creating what could have been a dangerous situation. The washer fluid was empty, not low but dry. These are things that should have been corrected at a business that focuses on the sale of vehicles. To be fair the car was indeed serviced by a separate dealership before being sold however I have no way of proving what was actually done. I had no choice but to act on the notifications the car I just purchased was showing me. The financing is a huge concern for me. I attempted to use Navy Federal Credit Union. A Credit Union that is well known for protecting Veterans and Service Members from predatory practices. It was explained to me that Automax does not work with Navy Federal which leads me to wonder why Automax excludes a veteran organization. I will not speculate about this however there are many articles people can google that explain why companies may not work with a protective organization like Navy Federal Credit Union. This is not a malicious review. It is a fair and honest assessment of my experience, perceptions and opinions in relation to my vehicle purchase.
