Recent Reviews from AutoNation Nissan Chandler

Great vehicle and pricing. Difficult advance documents/procedures. It appears that contrary to state law, they did not re-title a used vehicle to name of dealership before trying to (re)sell it. Obtaining full advance documents remotely (by email) was often delayed, tricky, and contract communication was hit-or-miss. They are good with automobile knowledge, but the paperwork procedures seem to be compartmentalized. Example: My credit union required a scan of the existing title in order to confirm no liens and that vehicle was properly titled to the dealership. I was told that AutoNation is unable to comply with this - which caused me to be unable to close the loan I had already been approved for. AutoNation Nissan Chandler stepped in and "provided financing options," meeting the same terms I had with my credit union, but this rubbed me the wrong way - they were (effectively if not deliberately) non-complying with required legal procedures in order to get commission not only on the sale, but also on the financing. Privacy of the prior seller was cited as the reason to not release the title for verification, but the vehicle should have been titled to the dealership - so this felt like another red flag that this could be a questionable purchase. In the end, this is a reputable and large dealership - but they have some questionable practices especially as regards their internet-originating sales. Be advised they charge a $499 (very high) non-negotiable used car "documentation fee" which is their profit in addition to commission. The used vehicle I purchased appears to be in quite good condition, and the sales staff were very helpful, communicative (by email), and friendly. I flew in from out-of-state to purchase this vehicle and drive it away, so needed to feel good about the dealership from afar and see all documentation in advance before I bought a plane ticket. It was very slow and difficult (per previously mentioned compartmentalization of roles) to obtain documents for advance review, and the inability to provide proof of clean title made me extremely nervous (they did send a full and free CarFax, but my credit union advised this was not sufficient). I also performed my own separate vehicle criminal and lien check and found car to be free, so decided to risk the title non-compliance as the other information I had appeared to be positive. I can't say that I was entirely confident in advance, and did not feel good about buying a plane ticket based on the information AutoNation had provided. I asked for a proposed purchase agreement six times before it was sent to me. I decided to risk it, and fly out - seemed like a promising transaction even if there were multiple problems and possible fraudulent documentation procedures going on. Ultimately I chalked those up to inexperience of the sales people, disconnected from the title transaction people, who were themselves disconnected from the finance people. Even after having read and reviewed all documents in advance, the time spent waiting at the dealership for the final paperwork to sign and get out was quite long - several hours sitting at a table. After taking my gamble, it appears that the end result was a great vehicle with the same finance terms as I had brought to the table, but getting to that point was not particularly confidence-inspiring, easy or fast.

My husband and I will never do business with Auto Nation again! We had bought a 2018 Titan from Auto Nation Chandler, then this September we needed a bigger truck to be able to transport equipment. We were happy with the Titan but we needed more power. So first we looked on line at their web site & found a Ram that we really liked & wanted to look at. My husband called the Auto Nation Chandler which is nearly impossible to get anyone to answer the phone. He finally spoke to a sales man who said they could do that specific truck for us & to come into the dealership. So I go into the dealership & ask for that sales person & he sends some young kid back down to talk to me. This kid pulls the truck we wanted up on the computer and said he is at the Auto Nation in Phoenix and he couldn't sell it to us. This was a total waste of time & we were already not happy with the lack of people to answer the dealership phone & communication, then the salesman tells my husband he can do it and this kid telling me I have to go to Phoenix. I don't think so. We ended up getting a new truck at a different dealership. I then came back to Auto nation with the documentation needed to cancel & get refunds on all the extras we paid for. I spoke to the finance manager who said he needed the pay off letter from the bank and that I could email it to him & he would handle it. On Oct 7th I emailed him the paperwork & he emailed me back that same day that he would get it cancelled & processed. I never heard anything else so I tried calling the finance manger several times getting his voice mail & leaving messages with no response, On October 12th I emailed the finance manager asking for some communication & status on the cancellations. Still after getting no communication I went to the dealership on October 16th & spoke to Mia (she has been the only pleasant person in all this). I showed her my emails to the finance manager. Mia looked up our account and no action or notes had been made. So I'm not sure how much more of a refund we would have gotten if the cancellation would have been done when it was supposed to. Mia cancelled all of the extras & gave me print outs confirming the cancellations & how much we will be get for a refund. Mia told me that it should take 3-6 weeks for us to receive the refunds. Today (November 12th) I tried to call Mia to check on the refund status, she was not in and no one else knew how to look it up. # of the refunds were coming from safe-guard products so I called the number for them on my cancellation document that Mia had given me. They said they received the cancellation signatures on Nov 6th & they processed & paid the refund back to Auto Nation on Nov 8th. They said it could take 4-8 weeks from the 8th. I am furious, How is it they did not receive the cancellation signatures until Nov 6th when I was in the dealership on October 16th. The communication & lack of follow through with this dealership is absolutely ridiculous!

Be weary of certified pre owned program when purchasing. Initially I had a great experience when purchasing. I can say everyone I dealt with is well mannered/respectful, knowledgeable and gives you the impression they want to do whatever they can to help. Though after purchasing my certified pre owned vehicle it came with a 90 day or 4,000 mile warranty, well I didn't bother to get the vehicle checked right away, trusted their inspection and reconditioning for sale. So once it was just after 4,000 miles I took it to my mechanic to get the oil changed and had them look ever the entire vehicle as I just bought it, might as well just be sure. When looking at the front lower control arms the rubber bushings are dry rot, and torn with holes. Repair to get this fixed anywhere is an easy $1200. This is a 7 year old Murano, though relatively low mileage at 52k. Understandably the climate conditions in Phoenix do harshly wear on rubber. Though i paid a certified pre owned price for a certified pre owned vehicle that is in need of this repair. It was in this condition when the previous owner traded it in. So I called the dealership and asked them about their certified pre owned program, if this is a part of their 172 point inspection, just trying to get information. I got in touch with a sales manager, he hears me out and kindly invites me down to the dealership for his technician to take a look at this and get their opinion. After taking a look at the lower arms he came to me to tell me that yes a mechanic may recommend to replace this as it is dry rot, torn with holes in the rubber bushings. But it isnt a necessary repair as when the vehicle is on the ground the tears in the rubber bushing become flush. It's only when the vehicle is in the air is when the extra wear will be occurring when the lower control arm is extended. He advised me to not take the vehicle off roading or to roads with potholes as that would quickly wear the rubber bushing. This was a little upsetting to hear as I paid a CPO price for a vehicle that does need that repair, otherwise every time I get an oil change I'm stressing about how long this vehicle is in the air for because I dont want to wear this part faster. When I purchase a CPO vehicle I wouldn't expect to get recommended repairs like this that would've been present at the time the previous owner traded it in. The only option the dealership gave me was to give me employee pricing, which made it just under $1200. I just reccomend that if you purchase a CPO vehicle from here get it inspected right away so that you could either return the vehicle if you don't want to inherit the repair or to get it covered under warranty. I feel I shouldn't have had to pay a pre owned price when a vehicle has a recommended repair of a discounted $1200. So be weary and inspect your CPO, their program cant ne fully trusted unfortunately.

I had my car serviced at Auto Nation Nissan Chandler for the first time. All other service has been performed at Anderson Nissan in Lake Havasue, therefore I will use that as my comparison and benchmark. Looking back I really believe my service went sour the moment I was lead to Laura, my service advisor. She was not rude but clearly did not have a welcoming tone or provide me reassurance that I was her priority at that moment. I was made to feel I was just a number on her calendar. Once she finished some paperwork she robotically did the paperwork for my car. During my wait while service was being performed I did have a bagel and coffee. This was great and appreciated as I missed breakfast. I would suggest that additional free items be available such as soda, juice, yogurt, deviled eggs, cheese sticks etc. Anderson Nissan offers all of that free to customers along with fresh popped popcorn! It's a very nice touch. Regardless the waiting area was very clean and I enjoyed watching some of the football game while I waited. Now the bad part, signing paperwork and paying the cashier. While I was reviewing my service I noticed regular oil was on the invoice and not full synthetic! I inquired about this and Laura told the cashier that despite the written discrepancy full synthetic was used. I asked the cashier to please correct my invoice to the oil that was actually used. She immediately got irritated, briskly took the invoice from my hands, called Laura and then slammed the phone down once done talking!! I should have immediately asked for a manager then but I was in shock at her body language, tone of voice and attitude toward me. All because I asked for the service record to properly reflect what was actually done. But I didn't seek a manager I simply told the cashier her attitude was unjustified and to lose it. This type of service, level of professionalism toward me was unwarranted and completely inexcusable!

To whom it may concern: I recently had to take my vehicle to the Autonation Nissan Chandler for repairs. When I spoke to my advisor on the phone, I told him I heard a noise by one of the tires. I payed a little over a thousand dollars in repairs because my advisor said it was probably my back breaks and they had to install the cam sensor. This was 4/11 and I picked up the vehicle the same evening, Julio, my advisor had already left for the day. Driving home I kept hearing the same noise that had me going to the dealership to being with. I called them to let them know the problem wasn't solved and Blake asked me to bring back the car the following morning. So the following morning I was dropped off at work and my husband took the vehicle to be checked again. Because I work in the ER, sometimes is difficult to pick up the phone, but I noticed I had a message from Ian Thompson, he said they test drove my car (Nissan Murano) and found it was failure in the right wheel bearing/hub assy and they would do it for $840.00 plus tax. I left him a message letting him know how unhappy I was about the whole thing and because of their misdiagnosis I would be out over $2000.00 in just two days???? So he calls me later on to negotiate the price of the repairs, instead of $840 it will cost me $640.00. Really? Now you are negotiating how much you are going to rip me off for? So my husband picked up my car. He told them plain and simple they were stealing from the customers. I got a call the following day from Julio (my advisor) asking me to call him to let him know how he could help. I have called him three times two different days and he never got back to me. I then call the Nissan consumer affairs line and spoke to Alina ID#7319177. She gave my case number 305662521. On April 8th Kwan call to confirm the case number and to leave his phone number for us to call with any questions. I have called him several times. No answer. (shocking, right?) My car isn't fixed, I've having to take uber to work this morning because I don't feel safe driving my car with that noise. I'm still $1000.00 dollars out I shouldn't have paid. So I want to know what is the benefit of having a case. I have been going to that dealership for at least 9 years, I have been a loyal customer for all those years and there's nothing worse than feeling like you are being taken for a fool. I work hard for what I have, no freebies, just hard work. So I plan to take this as far as I have to, there's got to be justice somewhere
