Excellent service from Robert.
Excellent service from Robert. Friendly, fast service. He kept me informed and took care of my business. Shop is customer friendly. Easy access and nice facilities.
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Isrsel here i just want to let you know I had such a great experience working with Candice. She kept me informed every step of the way and is very personable and a helpful person.
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

I had an absolutely amazing experience with the sales
I had an absolutely amazing experience with the sales team at Crest Nissan! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right vehicle. They listened to my needs, answered every question with patience, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was their teamwork and communication. Everyone—from the sales associates to the managers—treated me with respect and worked together to make sure I was taken care of. They were upfront, honest, and provided exceptional customer service every step of the way. If you're looking for a dealership that truly goes above and beyond, Crest Nissan’s sales team is outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend them to anyone shopping for a new or pre-owned vehicle!

This was my second year in a row doing business with AutoNationUSA-Katy, and it turned out to be even better than the first year. Our salesperson, Jeremiah Ragona, was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and (according to my grandson) even fun to spend time with. The car I ultimately picked to purchase was a bit of an unexpected choice, but one that my wife was quite happy with. Big ups to Jeremiah and the AutoNationUSA-Katy team for a very satifying car-buying experience.
