If I could give zero stars I would! I waited a week for an appt. for an oil change and tire patch. I waited in there 5 hours total. They didn't do even do the full oil change service when they claimed th an appt. for an oil change and tire patch. I waited in there 5 hours total. They didn't do even do the full oil change service when they claimed they were done. They had to take the car back in to rotate the tires and do the fuel injector cleaner. When they called me the next day to ask about the service I told them what happened. I was told the service manager would call me. I waited a few days and didn't hear back so I called and left him a message. He called me on a Saturday full of excuses, which did not surprise me. What did surprise me was being basically called a liar when I told him I didn't think waiting for 5 hours for this type of service is acceptable. He didn't say the word liar but he told me he didn't believe (same thing)! As for the blown tire patch that left me stranded...I probably ran over a nail when I left there. No apologies whatsoever! I have written to the GM with no response as well. This is just bad service all around. More

Terrible inventory, charming associates. Perfect recipe for a blooming business. Brought up an issue with my vehicle NOT EVEN A MONTH, was told to bring it in. Took it in, and service dept took note of iss for a blooming business. Brought up an issue with my vehicle NOT EVEN A MONTH, was told to bring it in. Took it in, and service dept took note of issue and brushed it off, stating it was because of the “newness”. Long story short, company told me they don’t recall my visit and ended up paying a large sum of money for a vehicle bought less than 90 days ago. More

Had a great car buying experience with Michelle at Lakeland! I shopped all around central Florida and Lakeland was the only place that offered an excellent price upfront without any unnecessary add-on Lakeland! I shopped all around central Florida and Lakeland was the only place that offered an excellent price upfront without any unnecessary add-ons. Absolutely no pressure and complete transparency with the fees. The whole process was smooth - it only took around an hour for everything. I will definitely be back in the future! More

Michelle was a great salesperson! She was very thorough in going over the car with us and answered all our questions.

My fault for not asking what my score was until after the fact but feel the finance person could have disclosed. Other than that, a great experience. More
