Jenkins Nissan

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had! This past weekend I went to Jenkins Nissan in Lakeland and purchased a 2013 Nissan Rogue.

The primary salesperson I dealt with was Rita Garrison and she was amazing! She took me on one of the most informative, thorough, and fun test drives I have ever been on. She showed me much more about the vehicle than just "this is how it feels driving down the road". She had me test the turning radius, the backup camera, and the awesome braking system. One of my primary concerns coming from a full-size truck to an SUV was the safety rating. Rita knew every airbag, safety feature, and rating there was to know on the vehicle. When we returned to the dealership I was sold. I then met with Buddy Allman in Sales who was absolutely wonderful as well. He was so kind and courteous, and he kept me informed during the entire process. He made sure that I was comfortable while I waited for the paperwork to be prepared, and always treated me with the utmost respect. He even took the time to personally go and help with the detailing of my new vehicle. When I eventually went into the Finance Office I was greeted by John Cvitovidch who was very knowledgeable and kind. He was never pushy or cold like some finance managers can be. Throughout the entire process I felt at ease. Every step was very clear and well explained and there were never any of those typical car dealership games between the salesperson and the finance desk. I have been through so many of those games in the past that I was dreading the thought of buying a new car, but as soon as I set foot on the Jenkins Nissan lot I felt at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend this dealership to ANYONE! And I don't know what kind of magic wand John keeps in his desk, but he truly can work miracles with the numbers! The most impressive thing that Jenkins does differently than any other dealership I have every been to is their delivery of the vehicle. Rita actually took the time to sit in the car with me and go over every feature, bell and whistle. I have NEVER had any other car dealership do this. This really sets them apart from their competition! More

Don't bother going to this dealership if you want fair and upfront pricing. You'll be quoted one price online, and when contacting the dealer they will give you another, lower price that is to get you in and upfront pricing. You'll be quoted one price online, and when contacting the dealer they will give you another, lower price that is to get you in the door. Once you are satisfied with the lower price and fall in love with the car, they quickly say "We made a mistake in pricing" and revert back to the original, higher price. Shady business practices at best. More

I avoid dealerships at all costs because of how uncomfortable the sales people make me feel. I've never dealt with anyone that wasn't pushy or arrogant until coming to Jenkin's Nissan. On arrival I uncomfortable the sales people make me feel. I've never dealt with anyone that wasn't pushy or arrogant until coming to Jenkin's Nissan. On arrival I was greeted by Buddy Allman. What a delightful change to the usual obnoxious salesmen found at most dealerships. He was very kind and extremly knowlegable. What I appreciated most of all was that he made me feel like an old friend. Never once did I feel like I was only there to help him make a sale. After my experience with Buddy, I will never go to another dealership. He is a keeper! More

Worst experience I ever had before, tried to purchase a used car and they were trying to charge me about $5000 above the market value of the vehicle.

We went in to find a used car and specified the very top of our price bracket and they didn't show us the car we requested to see and instead had us test drive a new car and promised that it was in our rang of our price bracket and they didn't show us the car we requested to see and instead had us test drive a new car and promised that it was in our range even though we made sure to say again that we would go to 15k out the door as a max. While sitting there they actually offered us (with our small trade) a new car for 15k out the door. When we told them we had to go home and discuss our finances the salesmen got very rude and forceful with us. We left the dealership and were told that the deal was no good if we left. Two hours later the salesman called us again and told us the offer still stood. After looking over our finances we decided that it was something we were interested in and told him to get us an interest rate and draw up the paperwork and we would be in. He told us then that our payments were going to be way out of range and it didn't make sense for the price given to us. Come to find out they had decided to increase the price of our vehicle by 4k and not tell us and once we saw that they said that it was OK because we were still within a good monthly purchase rate. At that point they said they couldn't offer what they told us previously. Stupidly we said we would go back the next day to finally see the car that we initially drove there for. When we went to meet the salesman at the used lot, which we had said that we wanted to go to so that we could view all cars there, he wasn't there. He left and took the car to the other new car lot which we can only assume was to talk us yet again in to the new car. We decided not to go back and received calls and texts all day from dealer. When we told him several times that we were no longer interested he said "good." Thought between the attitude the night before and him telling us it was "good" that we were no longer interested that we were happy that we shopped elsewhere. We bought a couple hours after that at Red Hogland Hyundai dealership in Winter Haven and were VERY pleased. More
