Pinch me! Can’t believe I drive this much car for what I paid! 18 Value Edition, nearly fully loaded; Sunroof, blind spot, Apple Car Play and push button start. Auto climate control and heated seats are amazing in winter. Don’t even want to get out of the car. Air super cool in the summer. Transmission shifts like butter. Engine at idle so quiet, I have gotten out without pushing the button thinking the car was off already. Only car I’ve ever owned without a single squeak or rattle at this point of ownership. All the power you need on sport mode. Getting avg 38-40 mpg daily on work commute. Back up camera with dynamic guidelines and monitor THE best of any car rental I’ve ever driven. Wow!
I've been going to this dealership for years and the service has been great. Here are excerpts from a letter I wrote recently about my service advisor, Blake Stebbins:
Blake consistently keeps me up to date on that status of my vehicle when it is in for service. Blake has also always managed to squeeze me into his schedule, even when I have called for an appointment on short notice. When my vehicle was in the shop for its major 75,000 mile service not long ago, Blake had your technicians review everything on the checklist for that service but reported that most of it was unnecessary due to the condition of my vehicle. I had expected to spend $500 on that service, and ended up paying less than $100. Having gotten to know Blake over the years, this display of integrity wasn’t surprising, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. Honestly, I didn’t think there was anything more Blake could do to improve on the level of service he already provides.
It turns out I was wrong.
Last week I brought my Pathfinder in for an oil change. Blake noticed that my vehicle was less than 1,000 miles from the end of the warranty on its CVT (I had no idea) and checked to see if it had thrown any codes. It had indeed. Further investigation revealed that extensive repairs to the CVT were needed. I don’t see the cost of the warranty work on my invoice, but I believe Blake said it was in the neighborhood of $3,700.
I’m not sure what I would have done if this had been found after my warranty had expired. By being so thorough, Blake saved me a tremendous headache, not to mention the financial stress that would have been associated with this repair. Blake’s customer service reflects very well on your dealership. Thank you for having him on your staff, and please, don’t let him get away.

Just Moved to Area and Needed Warrantee Inspection

I drove up in my 190,000 mile Town & Country and was randomly assigned a Tech with whom I made an inspection appointment for a couple of days later.
When I returned for the appointment, without requesting him, the same Tech, Daryl Jones, was assigned to help me.
During the inspection, a small radiator leak (of which I was aware), along with bulging radiator hoses and a Heater by-pass leak. My tech said they could replace all within 2 hours - I agreed and they did - I was driving away completely fixed and washed/vacuumed car back 2 ½ hours later.
Having been with a very small Chrysler Dealer in New Jersey, Welsh Motors, for 25 years, where everyone knew me by name, I had some trepidation about finding a new one, especially a very large one. Earnhardt Chrysler's organization, facilities, and service have now completely relieved any concerns.
2018 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition Review
Solid, Reliable, Stylish ... and Fun to Drive

This car replaces a 2011 Elantra.
It handles well, has a good blend of features. I especially like the “Infotainment” features which combine well with my iPhone. Whether it’s listening to music, answering a call handsfree,..., using a map to find my way. Just a good diversity of uses without getting too complicated ...
I like that ... 😊
The quality of the interior appointments (especially the driver and passenger seat adjustments) really surprised me for a car in this price range. “Like sitting in a cockpit” in the words of my brother in law after he drove the car...
I agree.
Al the controls are logical and well laid out. I have room for my cross country skis folding down the rear seats...
Very, VERY HAPPY with the mileage I get, especially on the highway - a “stingy” 38 MPG ... ...!
Practical, fun to drive without going over the top. What more can I say??...
CarMax Phoenix-Gilbert - Now offering Curbside Pickup Review
Awesome place!

CarMax is much smoother than any other car buying experience you will ever find. Their salesman Matthew Johnson is a great guy. He was very patient and helped me find the perfect car after I spent months researching. He really knew what he was doing and gave me a wonderful experience. I would recommend CarMax to anyone!
I Love my 2016 Fit. I traded in my 2010 Fit and Autonation gave me a fair price for it. Bruce Kralb and Alan Garcia always made the buying process an enjoyable one. They never pressured us and the gave a final price for the car, that was what I was looking for. Between taking Test drives and sitting down and talking about our options, this has been one of the best car purchasing experiences I ever had. They are just good people. Another good person I would like to praise is Jillian Zimmerman, the Financial service manager. She was great in explaining to us our financial responsibilities as well as any add ons we may wanted to purchase. I bought my car without any tint, with the help of Jillian and Bruce, my tinting service was expedited the day I brought it in. Autonation is just a great place to buy a car from, great people, great prices, and great service. I highly recommend.
2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited Review
Very reliable car!

To put it simply, my Mother calls my Elantra, the "Spaceship".
And she's one used to driving Chevy Impalas, with more bells and whistles than one could imagine!
My Hyundai is automatic everything.
I love the shift manual option. (I prefer manual transmissions)
So this was quite a nice suprise when I found out what it was.
LOL! Something I didn't know about, and wasn't shown when I test drove and purchased the car. I don't think the salesman knew about this transmission shifting inclusion.
It's very Stylish, safe, dependable and a wonderful deal for my $.
My only complaint is the seats stain very easily.
Everything else is wonderful!
Have been taking my car to AutoNation Chevrolet in Gilbert for a few years now. Quality of service and repairs has been excellent every time. Thank you Adam Rodriguez for service done on 2/12.

Its a good car very cost efficient and very comfortable. Clean and worthy to be seen. Very modern interior with trendy dash board its a must see
What a courteous and helpful Sales and Service staff ! I'm 73 yrs old and found that Garrett Motors reminded me of auto dealers when I was young. Modern facilities and a good stock of cars with no-pressure sales/service departments that want to serve you and let you make non-pressure decisions. Definitely worth the drive to see these knowledgeable and helpful folk ! Still planning out our purchase, so didn't buy this visit, but will be going back when we are ready.
2009 Hyundai Elantra GLS Review
Good car with low maintenance.
by Sandy from Round rock, tx

Bought my elantra last year in october. Its a simple and low maintenance car . Its a 2009. It had low mileage. Former owner kept it pristine. If your looking for a used hyundai only go to a qualified dealership. I only replaced the tires ans battery.
I did a lot of research into compact cars before test driving several models from Honda, Toyota and Ford. Then I tried the Elantra. Fully loaded....heated seats front and back, Bose sound system, leather throughout, sunroof. Incredible value for the money, far better value than the comparable Toyota and Honda.
It's a fun little car to drive and comfortable on long hauls. I have a lot of arthritis and sitting in a car seat for hours gets excruciating. Decided to drive the Elantra from SW Washington where I live to California. Elantra got 44 mpg doing 75-80mph nearly the entire way, was comfortable for all 3 of us (myself, wife and 8 year old. Sound system is amazing and onboard Bluetooth works fine. Nav system and some other minor apps on the console could be a bit better but much better than Honda especially. Ergonomics of the cockpit are great and make sense. Overall just a fun easy car to drive. Sport mode is fun, but fuel consumption goes way up and the Elantra's suspension isn't really meant for throwing it into corners....a tad of understeer.
I feel like i got an upgrade when i traded my nissan sentra for the hyudia elantra, the elantra has way more power and drives much smoother ,i believe it will also be a more dependable car.
I got help with parts from RJ Ayala and I really appreciated his service. Garrett Motors really knows how to help out with their customers!
2017 Hyundai Elantra SE Review
xxxxty paint, subpar customer service.
by barefootblonde from Norman, Oklahoma

I purchased a 2017 Elantra towards the end of 2016 brand new. I had to have the paint on the front of the car around the hood repaired under warranty due to it randomly peeling about a year ago while it was barely under the cap for mileage on the warranty. I’m active duty military so I’ve put a lot of mileage on my car pcsing and visiting family so my car is no longer under warranty and the paint has been chipping in various areas of the car since the last repair. I searched the web and found that several other customers have also been having this problem with the pearl white paint on this year/make/model so I feel like it’s pretty safe to say the paint was faulty and Hyundai should be liable to fix this considering I payed full price for a below average/faulty product. I called Hyundai to inquiry to see if I missed a recall since it’s been such a prevelant issue for customers, I was informed that there wasn’t and customer service told me to contact the dealership I had the paint repaired at while under warranty even though it was in a different location to see if they would repair it. I called the dealership and they offered to take pictures and submit them to Hyundai to see if they could help since it wasn’t the same location they had repaired but I’m deploying in a week and they said there likely wouldn’t be a solution by then which is understandable but no one has even been able to give me a straight answer other than contact numbers to pay for a paint job out of pocket from a body shop. I’ve been transferred 5 or 6 times contacting three different locations to see if someone could help me but alas, nothing. It’s definitely not worth paying for a brand new car only for it to start peeling and looking trashy less than two years later due to low quality paint. If they would have done a recall and provided a solution to their customers complaints I would have rated it much higher because everything else about the car has been wonderful.
for the money It is a good car. However it has never come close to the mpg posted on the window. And mileage was a big reason i purchased the car. I have had no mechanical problems with the car. My wifes car got much better mpg and felt more solid and was quite inside. But we paid 50% more for that. Wife wins. I like my Hyundai
