This is our 4th Acura MDX since 2009. Beautiful car; the facelift/redesign this year really pushed it into a true luxury car level.

We were considering a Volvo XC90, but the Acura was a better car at a better price point. The folks at Niello Acura were easy to work with, and Yana was super nice and helpful. She let us drive the car alone so that we could try it on the freeway, around town, and make sure it fit into our garage properly. They chased down the exact model/color/package we were looking for and retrieved it overnight. She gave us enough information to set things up without confusing us. Brian Watkins is new to the finance dept, but he was easy to work and chat with; a local guy who might adopt a stray cat we are attempting to find a home for! No tension. Overall a very satisfying experience. More

Walked in to look at the Integra Type S. He didn’t seem interested and didn’t talk to us. Didn’t even stand up to help us out. I wanted to do a test drive but he brushed us off.

From the first interaction the service was first class. We traveled 2.5 hours to look at a car they had. As soon as we arrived they had the car ready for a test drive! Never did I feel pressured or like We traveled 2.5 hours to look at a car they had. As soon as we arrived they had the car ready for a test drive! Never did I feel pressured or like I was just a sale to them. Chris really took the time to go over all the technology in the car. I had lots of follow up contact with them all well. It was great to call and actually ahold of the finance guy when we had question. I would definitely travel back to that area to purchase again. More
