Danny was excellent with communication and service at the Ram Truck Center in Oceanside. Got me in on the next day....awesome! Kept me updated on the repairs.

Hello Rhonda, we're happy you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here at AutoNation Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Carlsbad. Don't hesitate to call us if you ever need anything. Be safe on the road!

By far, one of the most unethical dealerships I have

By far, one of the most unethical dealerships I have purchased from. I would not recommend doing business with this dealership, unless you really want a poor post-purchase experience. The sales manager, AJ, has a major issue with morals ethics. The sales staff was just as sketchy as him, but that's probably under the direction of AJ, so I won't call them out by name. I crossed paths with 3 different sales people, during the time I was there. The finance person I was assigned to just tried to get me to invest in Trump's crypto the entire time. I wish I was joking. If you still choose to take your business there, you have been warned.

Just to update the Public... My car was finally bought back under the CA Lemon Law. This dealership was absolutely worthless during this process. Not only that, the person assigned to buy my car back basically walked off and locked the car WHILE I was unloading my things. I told him the issues I had with the dealership and his whole demeanor changed. He told me he was friends with the dealership staff, which seems like a conflict of interest.

Service advisor Michael G.

Service advisor Michael G. was very knowledgeable and helpful. He communicated with updated information that I needed to know. I appreciated his professionalism and his quick attention to all my concerns. The technician diagnosed, ordered parts on a priority basis (I was an out of town customer) and installed part and other services efficiently.

Hello, it means so much to us that you chose our dealership! Thank you so much for being one of our valued guests and we look forward to your next visit!

I’ve had my car here a lot lately.

I’ve had my car here a lot lately. People told me it was terrible but it was really convenient. They took a long time for the warranty work, things kept on going wrong, and then they told me I needed close to 3k of unwarranted work. Had my car towed to another mechanic, and the 3k of work they were trying to charge me for was unnecessary. I don’t care how far you have to drive, don’t do it.

Hello, we are deeply disappointed by your experience at AutoNation Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Carlsbad. If you'd like, please contact our General Manager at (760) 292-2515. We'd appreciate the chance to make your experience a positive one.

Consumer response

I spoke to the service manager when we were having issues. We mentioned we were going to go to arbitration. The General Manager wasn’t offered as an option even after we complained to Stellantis. We had our car towed to a third party mechanic, and the radiator you said was cracked and had to be replaced was fine and past compression tests. If my wife feels like calling she will, but the whole thing was so utterly disappointing and if not fraudulent, incompetent.

Consumer response

I called, nobody answered anywhere in the phone tree 4 times and I left a message in the service dept . I don’t think you can win back my trust or business but I will speak with them if I can contact them.

Made an appointment for 8:15am (6.23). Oil change was started at 10:15am. I was told by the service writer that they were short technicians and also service writers. Not sure if this is because of new ownership. Very disappointing. I work the swing shift and would of rather slept 2 more hours. Not sure why it's called an express oil change or why I had to make an appointment. It was like I just drove up and put in line with all the repairs. I usually use the dealer even for oil changes. I guess I shouldn't do that.

Good experience by car buying standards.

Good experience by car buying standards. They were honest, gave us a fair price, gave good value on our trade in and both Brandon and James were great sales associates.
