David McDavid Acura of Austin

Been dealing with DMD service for years for our old TL and MDX. My experience had been very good in the past. The last few experiences were legitimately awful. If you sit and listen to the advisors talk and MDX. My experience had been very good in the past. The last few experiences were legitimately awful. If you sit and listen to the advisors talk to people, you'll see it's not just me or anyone specific...if you're out of warranty you're a xxx, and if you are, it somehow isn't covered. The technician who was working on our cars inspired zero confidence that they have properly trained folks on staff. We absolutely will not be back. As far as sales go, we tried to buy two vehicles at once in 2020. We wanted a new RDX and MDX. Submitted the interest to DMD. About 5 different people called about the deal after I had made an appointment to come in and drive the AWD MDX. We were very specific about why we were coming in and what we needed to get done. Was told every single time it was set up and they would have an AWD MDX ready. They had an AWD MDX but it was someone else's or so they said. We weren't allowed to drive it but they did offer a FWD loaner MDX if one happened to be returned while we were there. The sales person walked off and never came back after stating he had another customer. We left after 30 mins of waiting around for anyone to help us. Not one follow up phone call from anyone on a two car deal. Sure, it was 2020, but come on. Acura makes good products. This dealership along with others in the network do not deserve your money or time. Just read the reviews. While every circumstance is different there's an awful lot of people telling you over and over the dealing with David McDavid is a bad decision. More

They need better customer service in the office, they did not no where my keys were at.Cause the guys was off and they don't communication with the office manager. The guy should have to me he was not going not no where my keys were at.Cause the guys was off and they don't communication with the office manager. The guy should have to me he was not going to be there on Friday when I pick-up my car. I did ask for my windows to be tinted cause my bill was 4,200 so I ask for free tinted now I am grading that because they were in hurry to get my tint done.so now I have flaws in the tint, they should have to told me sorry we are to busy to do your tint. I would have been ok with that. And my bills was 4,200 and I can still hear the knocking in the engine, they told me I have to replace a part of the engine and that would cost me around 1,800 and they already had that part of engine off. I would have pay 500 not 1,800. I am trying to keep this car cause this was my aunt car. She committed suicide in August 2021 she was in the marines.I am trying to keep her car alive cause it was hers. I already had to pay 6,000 for her car and then other 4,200. the price is so reductions. I cause all dealership does this to there customer. Then 2 of the guys don't really get alone there you can tell. you should be professional at work. It doesn't matter if you like or don't like your co-worker the Customer More

One star is generous for these xxxxxxx. One week ago we spent $3,000 for service on my daughter's 2018 MDX, was supposed to take a day and a half. Took 4 days. Today the car wouldn't start, 2 blocks fro spent $3,000 for service on my daughter's 2018 MDX, was supposed to take a day and a half. Took 4 days. Today the car wouldn't start, 2 blocks from the dealer. My daughter called them, she had her 4 month old baby with her. They told her she was on her own, they could not and would not help. More

This has been one of the worst car buying experiences ever! Started out great and went downhill from there. Tony was our salesperson. He did a great job with the demo and presentation. Explained the feat ever! Started out great and went downhill from there. Tony was our salesperson. He did a great job with the demo and presentation. Explained the features and benefits really well. During his presentation I see some scratches on the bumper. I point these out to Tony. He assures me they will be taken care of. We were encouraged to fill out a credit app to give the dealership a chance to finance. We said ok even though we knew our credit union would be hard to beat. Tony explained that he was off on Wednesday. I said no problem we would wait to hear back about our app. Wednesday evening about 5 p.m. after not hearing anything I call Tony. He says he will check what's going on and call me back in a hour. I don't hear back from Tony. I call the dealership and speak to Clifton Goldsmith the GM of the dealership. He informs me that they only have one finance manager working and he's been really busy. The finance manager calls me to get more information. Mind you if our app hadn't been just sitting on his desk all day these questions could have been answered much earlier. He calls me back and says we got you approved at 16%. I tell him that won't work for me. I call UFCU and get approved for 6%. We go to pick up the car on Thursday and the scratches on the bumper are still there. I take delivery and I am told to come back on the 25th and they would give me a loaner while they take care of scratches. The loaner they offered was a Buick Enclave. I'm sorry I thought Acura was a luxury brand? Why would I take a Buick when I bought a MDX. I was told they have really low inventory,but 5 managers driving MDX and RDX demos. Do yourself a favor and go to Sterling Acura instead. I promise you will be treated like you bought a luxury vehicle. More

The dealer treats you with threat.. extremely bad customer service. When they made a mistake on my vehicle I was charged for the replacement. He agreed to except the labor but not the parts! Even tho customer service. When they made a mistake on my vehicle I was charged for the replacement. He agreed to except the labor but not the parts! Even though it was clearly a bad job done by the dealer. Never I will go here again! More

On June 26 2021 my wife and I purchased a Mercedes GLC. We were told there were two key fobs even during signing I asked about the second key fob and was told they would get it to us. While switching our i We were told there were two key fobs even during signing I asked about the second key fob and was told they would get it to us. While switching our items from the old to the new we ask him to get the second key fob the salesman (Justin Binford) said he would be right back. A little while later he returns saying it wasn't there and he'd call the former owner and see if they had it. Well here we are 60 DAYS LATER and no second key fob I call every day and nobody returns my calls. I can not stress enough that No one should buy anything from this dealership! THEY ARE EXTREMELY DISHONEST EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BUY A CAR!!!!! More

We bought a truck and it broke 2 weeks after our purchase. We are very lucky that we did not DIE or KILL another family in this truck that we bought from David Mc David Acura. My husband lost contr purchase. We are very lucky that we did not DIE or KILL another family in this truck that we bought from David Mc David Acura. My husband lost control when the bracket that holds the differential broke!! He almost went head-on with another car, thank God the lady was able to move out of the way since my husband was unable to control the truck. It makes me so upset that we are dealing with this when we purchased specifically from a supposedly "reputable" dealership. We took the truck in to get an estimate to see how much it would cost to repair and the guy said the truck had been welded before where it broke off. This is something that the dealership should have seen since they supposedly inspect their vehicles. We were basically told oh well you bought it "as is". The general manager, Clifton Goldsmith did not even make time for us after waiting over an hour to talk to him. He is the one who made the call not to help out with the cost of repair. It's a BROKEN truck! A broken truck that could have caused a BIG ACCIDENT on the road. Something that this dealership could of easily take responsibility for missing such a dangerous defect. Instead, they just washed their hands. Just to think that we drove in that UNSAFE truck with my two little kids makes me very mad. By the way, the seat belts were not even bolted down! JUST HORRIBLE!

I am 64 years old. Over the years between wife and kids we have purchased several vehicles. My Acura purchase from Davis McDavid recently was by far the smoothest. Sales Rep.

There are two Acura dealerships in Austin, and I sure feel like I picked the wrong one when I bought a 2019 RDX from David McDavid. I really do like the vehicle, but I don't think I will ever buy from th feel like I picked the wrong one when I bought a 2019 RDX from David McDavid. I really do like the vehicle, but I don't think I will ever buy from this dealership again. During the sales process, I got a bit of the "slimy car salesman" approach from their team, but since I thought I got a good deal, I went against my instincts about the people involved in the sale and moved forward with the purchase. The salesman promised me a “luxury car buying experience” but that was not how it has felt to me during and after the sales process. The after-sales support has truly been awful so far. When I had questions about my billing statements, I couldn't get the Finance Manager (Myron) to call me back. When I did talk to him, he was clearly being deceptive with his answers and even pretended that he couldn’t answer simple questions because he knew that they had deceived me in the buying process. David McDavid has also not lived up to their service commitments. I don't know why I let myself be convinced to purchase their "maintenance package" but that has been a disaster from the start. These people have not lived up to their end of the bargain and now they are trying to charge me for things that were included in the maintenance package that I purchased. I feel completely ripped-off my this and this has completely betrayed my trust in the people that work at this dealership. I feel like they not only swindled me with the maintenance package but that the swindle continues to this day when I try to schedule service. As a result, I cannot trust this dealership and I can see why they currently have a pathetic 2.4 star rating on this site, while the other dealership in town (Sterling) is much higher. I can't imagine buying another vehicle from this dealer. Sterling will get my next Acura purchase unless David McDavid learns how to treat customers and live up to their commitments, but unfortunately I see no evidence of that so far. Addition on 3/25/21: It is baffling that this dealership has such poor communication and customer support. I've tried to get someone on the phone there to discuss this two weeks ago before I wrote this review. No one called back. I started this review on 3/11/21 in hopes that it would inspire some better communication and support from them, but the only responses that I received from them were that someone would call me (which never happened). I'm not sure what to do here. I bought a maintenance package from David McDavid and they aren't living up to their commitments. I guess I can cut my losses here and just advise everyone to avoid them if possible. If I buy another Acura, I can't imagine buying if from them. (Sterling isn't that far away after all.) This dealership charged me $1000 for a maintenance package that (so far) has included one oil change and fluid top-off. This also came with the dealership picking up my car at my house, taking it back to the dealership to get the work done, then returning my car to my house. So I have received that service ONCE in the nearly two years that I have had the car. And now they are refusing to do the same service and basically leaving me to have paid them $1000 for one oil change and car pick-up/return service. Don't waste your time here. More
