I have nothing but love for the AutoNation family.
I have nothing but love for the AutoNation family. There are always a great group of people to be found there. And if you're looking for above and beyond care and service from a dealership look no further. I was very pleased with my experience at AutoNation Chrysler Jeep Arapahoe. Tina, Kaden, and Mason are absolutely awesome. They were majorly helpful and streamlined the whole process of selling and buying a car. I was going through a tough time, but they didn't cease to show a great deal of patience. Especially Tina. She really delivered. I don't know what I would've done without them. You guys rock! And I truly am very happy with my Jeep purchase

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Joel at The Sharpest
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Joel at The Sharpest Rides! I had an outstanding experience working with Joel at The Sharpest Rides in Englewood, CO. From the moment I walked in, Joel was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right vehicle. He made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable—which is rare when buying a car! Joel answered all my questions with patience and honesty, and there was never any pressure. He went above and beyond to make sure I got a great deal and was happy with my purchase. I truly appreciated his transparency and dedication to customer satisfaction. If you’re in the market for a used car and want top-notch service, ask for Joel—you won’t be disappointed
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

What can I say?
What can I say? Go try them for yourself. We have used Courtesy Acura for 16 years and counting. Give them your business and you will be glad you did.
Transmission problem
I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

Lifelong customer
If I could rate my experience with 100 stars I would! This dealership does not pay on commission which made the whole experience less stressful and they have a great inventory along with a great staff. My husband and I went to this dealership because they had all the vehicles I was interested in test driving. When we arrived we were greeted by Vanessa. Let me tell you how lucky we were to have her. She is so caring, enthusiastic, took pride in her work and was never pushy. Once we narrowed it down to purchasing a 2021 Ford bronco she was very thorough in explaining everthing as we went through the paperwork and options. I feel like I gained a friend after working with Vanessa. Even after I bought the bronco she continued to text me to make sure everything was alright and even mailed us a thank you card, which I greatly appreciated. Then during our purchase, we were blessed with Tyler who jumped in to help. He knew everything about broncos and sat with us for over an hour pointing out the different features and answering my 5 million questions. He also assisted us in getting the ford pass app set up on our phone. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone whether you are interested in buying or still trying to determine what you want to buy! Thank you again to Vanessa and Tyler for all your help, guidance and providing us with outstanding customer service. You have gained a life long customer. Mishala & Steve
Explorers are great
I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

Great experience and great car
Anthony at frontline was extremely helpful in the buying process of my new car. They were the only used dealership of the several in the longmont area that worked directly with me to inform me about the car and how the dealership operates. The car was also detailed and made ready to sell it was in excellent condition. I'm really glad I went with frontline auto brokers.

Julia was awesome! We were unsure of what we could qualify for or what we wanted, but with her patience and understanding we found something that fit us and our budget. The finance team was super and got me a surprisingly great monthly payment. Will return for the next car!

Reasonable prices, made sure I was happy
Came here from various online searches, this dealership had the most reasonable prices and they were fairly close to where I lived. The test drive was an easy process. They looked into and addressed small issues I heard and felt during the test drive. They were very patient with my extremely slow banking institutions' ability to transfer funds, AND they took care of another small issue that made a warning light come on a couple of days after bringing the car home for a decent discount.

Wonderful Experience!
Wonderful Experience!! They don't add an additional 1-2% percentage like the big dealerships do onto the interest rate, utilizing local credit unions for financing. Lower dealership fee than anyone around and offered more for my trade in than any other dealership from Longmont to Colorado Springs would give me. The buying experience didn't take hours of haggling, in and out satisfied we were getting a good deal. I love my new/used vehicle!

Exceeded Expectations
I had a fabulous experience at Schomp Mazda on Havana in CO. Joe Aya was very patient and knowledgeable. I was able to get the new cx50 which is hard to come by right now and I absolutely love it! They made me feel comfortable in the buying process, no pressure and no hidden fees. They exceeded my expectations for sure! Thank you Schomp and Joe!

Looked for a low mileage Acura TLX or TSX for six months
Looked for a low mileage Acura TLX or TSX for six months and I found this car near me. It was nicely detailed and looked well cared for from the posting on Cars dot com. The sales rep called me very soon after my initial query. The entire buying process took an effortless one hour and I was on my way with the beauty,
