I signed a new lease on December 3, 2020, for a 2021 Acura ILX. The process, spearheaded by Fred Ginwright, was smooth and easy, even thought a bit time-consuming on lease-signing day. Both Fred Ginwr Acura ILX. The process, spearheaded by Fred Ginwright, was smooth and easy, even thought a bit time-consuming on lease-signing day. Both Fred Ginwright and business manager, Mass Boiro, were courteous and helpful. Any blips in the experience -- no one to greet customers in the showroom, an unprepared model to test drive -- were just blips and, no doubt, the result of the pandemic which has created so many challenges for businesses of all types. To conclude, my experience with Chevy Chase Acura over a number of years has been very positive, both on the business/financial side and service side. I wish the dealership well in 2021. . More

Richard was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He guided us through an extensive test drive and showed us all the features of the MDX hybrid. Thanks! guided us through an extensive test drive and showed us all the features of the MDX hybrid. Thanks! More

Can't get my plates for 9 months. I leased 2020 TLX Advance from Fred at Chevy Chase Acura back in March. I got a quote over the phone, did not negotiate it, just drove to pick it up. I asked to prep Advance from Fred at Chevy Chase Acura back in March. I got a quote over the phone, did not negotiate it, just drove to pick it up. I asked to prepare all the paperwork before arrival but spend many hours in the dealership anyway. When my temporary registration expired, Fred told me that due to Covid, my permanent registration can be delayed and it is legal to drive with expired registration. The last reply email I receive from Fred was on June 9 after which he just stops responding. When I email his manager on Dec. 7th, someone else called me to explain that they are extremely busy, and the best way for me is to text Fred as he does not read his email and only replies to texts. I got another 2020 Acura MDX Advance from a different dealership in August and receive permanent registration/plates within a month. The Verdict - great car (I had more than 10 Acura's), ok initial sale, a very bad experience with dealership customer service. More

If I could give this dealership 0 starts, I would !! I ended up at this dealership after hunting for an 2019 Acura ILX Premium online. My first visit to this location ran smoothly. I test drove the c I ended up at this dealership after hunting for an 2019 Acura ILX Premium online. My first visit to this location ran smoothly. I test drove the car I was interested in and Frederyc Botera, who was very helpful in the process, printed out a bill of sales with the final price of the vehicle. After reviewing my options, I decided to finance the car through my bank and picked up the check the following day for the amount that was agreed upon. It's now time to sign all needed documentation and here is where everything goes downhill. After explaining to Frederyc that I chose to finance through my bank, he still demanded that I give him my social security number on a piece of paper headed Credit Application. After asking him why do they need to run my credit, he replies "under MD law, we need to run a background check" At this point, I'm frustrated because I know that a background check has nothing to do with this car sale. I refused once again and he then proceeded to get a finance manager to explain why my social was needed. After waiting for 30 minutes, the finance manager finally comes in. She begins to explain that the information that was given to me by Frederyc was incorrect and I did not need to provide my social if I was not financing through them. However, she begins to explain that because I wanted to purchase a loaner car and not finance through them, the cost would go up $1,000. I walked in there with a check at hand only to find out that I was given nothing but false information and the finalized price was in actuality not final. Do not waste your time with these individuals. Information seems to be made up along the way and it's quite unprofessional. They will cheat you and get over on you if you do not know what you are doing. I suggest that you spend your money elsewhere. More

I didn't feel pressured and his primary goal was to make sure I was happy and satisfied - and I was extremely satisfied. He treated me more like family than a customer. I also want to thank Kaveh Jahed, the Director of Sales, for getting me the best deal, rate and terms. I love my SUV and I love Chevy Chase Acura. If you are looking for a vehicle, PLEASE SEE THEM. They will truly take care of you! More

Negative experience at Chevy Chase Acura I had been shopping for a new 2020 RDX Advance AWD to upgrade my 2016 RDX Advance AWD. I was in communication with Richard Boyd at Chevy Chase Acura I had been shopping for a new 2020 RDX Advance AWD to upgrade my 2016 RDX Advance AWD. I was in communication with Richard Boyd at Chevy Chase Acura for a few months discussing pricing and accessory options for a 2020 RDX Advance AWD. Richard knew the vehicle, color, and the accessories I was considering. He also knew the vehicle I would be trading and approximate mileage. When my Dad and I visited the dealership for the first time, it took 40 minutes after my vehicle was appraised to get the initial offer from the sales manager. Richard apologized and stated that the manager was working a quote for a second vehicle, in addition to mine. After a little back and forth, we agreed on a price, the agreement was signed, and a deposit was made. I was very satisfied with the price and felt that I had agreed to a good offer. Though, they never presented me with the final offer for my trade and the final price for the new vehicle. It was all lumped together in one bottom line price. At this point, I was told that the vehicle I had been looking at online for 2 months, and that Richard knew I was coming in to see, was being driven by the owner's wife and was not available for me to buy. I drove two and a half hours round trip to purchase a vehicle that could not be sold to me. I completed a minimal amount of paperwork and financing was briefly discussed, including the .9% interest rate that is offered through Acura. Richard promised that the accessories and Xzilon that I purchased would be installed when I went back approximately 4 days later to pickup the vehicle. My family and I traveled four and a half hours round trip from Pennsylvania to the dealership to pick up the vehicle on the agreed upon date. Initial paperwork was completed with the assistance of Richard and the finance manager came in to further discuss financing options. I knew Acura was offering .9% financing, as stated on both Chevy Chase Acura and Acura's websites. At this point, the finance manager told me that the .9% financing could not be combined with the agreed-upon price for the vehicle I was purchasing. He stated that Chevy Chase applied incentives to get me the price I wanted but could not offer the .9% financing that is advertised on both websites. Neither website states that the .9% financing cannot be combined with other incentives. Further, I had received multiple offers from other dealerships that combined incentives with the Acura .9% financing. I stated to the finance manager that if I could not receive the .9% financing that I would not purchase the car, as it was never mentioned to me that I either had to pick the .9% financing or stick with the agreed upon price of the vehicle. The finance manager asked another gentleman to step into the office. No introductions were made and we later determined we were speaking with Ralph Kolius, the sales manager. Ralph immediately and aggressively handed me my check back yelling "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?". He then stated that they could not offer the .9% financing with the added incentives. Yet, he would not elaborate on exactly what incentives or "pricing" I received that could not be combined. He did state that they could split the difference. I'm still unsure of what he meant by this since a credit check had not even been run yet and my interest rate was not determined. I declined his offer and he became irate. He did not care about satisfying a customer and he treated my family with absolute disrespect. He came into the office with my check in hand not willing to further discuss the deal or win my business. I wanted nothing more than to purchase a new RDX and continue driving a reliable and high-tech vehicle. But at this point, I do not feel that I am a valued Acura customer and most likely will not be making another Acura purchase. Chevy Chase Acura was sneaky and non-transparent in their deal. I have never been to a dealership where I have to specify before the negotiating starts that I would prefer a lower interest rate compared to a lower vehicle price. This is not how car buying works.
