We recently bought a 2026 RAV4 from Auto National of Winter Park. The experience from start to finish was professional, smooth, and stress free. We got a fair price for our trade and Juancarlos went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. Would definitely recommend!
One fine company
This car now has almost 170k miles.other than normal wear and tear and some recalls the car has been excellent. The real subject here is KIA . They have been a real stand up company. In my opinion KIA has had my back. KIA will be my next purchase

Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been
Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been better! So friendly, professional, and competent. He was very knowledgeable about the car I ended up buying, and thorough as far as going thru the car’s features. He even made sure that I had his personal cell phone if I have follow-up questions about the car. I’d highly recommend Colton and Corwin dealership in Nampa!
Even if it’s used, buy one!
I’ve owned a 2012 Kia Optima EX GDi 2.4L engine. Hands down, best car I have ever driven! After 8 years of daily driving and 135,000 miles later, she still handles like the day I drove her off the dealership lot. Very comfortable leather interior, that even though is years old, has not one crack or tear! Shifts smoothly, brakes smoothly and still has some get up and go when I put my foot down. Very safe car- Prior to this I owned an ‘11 Optima EX that I got into an accident in. The side and front airbags left me unscathed! All in all, I’m glad I went with Kia. You can never go wrong with that Kia reliability!

Tipton Ford’s Service Department consistently
Tipton Ford’s Service Department consistently demonstrates a high standard of customer service excellence. The team is exceptionally kind, respectful, and genuinely committed to ensuring a positive customer experience from start to finish. Communication is clear and professional, expectations are managed effectively, and every interaction reflects a strong customer-first mindset. Their willingness to assist, attention to detail, and courteous approach instill confidence and trust throughout the service process. This experience stood in sharp contrast to a prior service encounter at another Ford dealership in Anderson, where my concerns regarding a recurring issue were handled dismissively, ultimately resulting in the loss of my business. Fortunately, discovering Tipton Ford restored my confidence in Ford service. A special acknowledgment is warranted for Mike and Katlin, whose professionalism, responsiveness, and customer-focused approach exemplify the values of the Service Department. They worked tirelessly to coordinate with my third-party insurance provider and successfully secure coverage for the necessary repairs. It is evident that customer satisfaction is a top priority, and the staff takes pride in delivering reliable, high-quality service. Tipton Ford’s Service Department is a clear example of professionalism and operational excellence.
Best Car I have ever owned
Drives great, lots of leg room in the back seat. The ECO option is nice for improved fuel economy. Reliable, never had any issues with the car except the plastic molding along rear window. That came out by a loose screw. That is the only change I would change is hope they improve those chrome strips and logos on cars to hold that chrome look better. My logo chipped and is almost al black now.

The process took longer than expected.
The process took longer than expected. The ameliorating factor was the pleasant and professional agency. Availability of cold drinking water and coffee also have assuaging effects. No complaints?work done with excellence.

Everyone at White Allen was awesome to work with.
Everyone at White Allen was awesome to work with. I initially reached out online. I received a prompt response and quick answers to any questions. No high pressure from anyone which I appreciate! Brian was great. He answered on his day off and contacted his manager Dan to get a quick response on a final price. Cat finalized the deal with us. She was friendly, knowledgeable and took her time with us, even though we were past closing time. She gave us a full orientation of the car and dealership and sent us helpful resources. I was hesitant to go to White Allen because of distance from us, but am so glad we did. This is my 6th Accord, bought from 3 different dealers, and White Allen was the best by far. Fair prices, great car, and awesome staff who truly worked as a team! It’s the people who work there that made the difference. Thanks Cat and everyone who helped us!

As always, I love coming to this dealership, first of all
As always, I love coming to this dealership, first of all this is where I purchase my car and second, I know I will get the best service. The guys and girl are amazing and friendly. They explain the services I need, and I feel that they are honest and not trying to make me pay for things I don't need. My car is running so smooth. Since I brought the car in 2021, I only needed a tire and new battery. How great is that!! Plus, I love seeing the friendly dog. It feels like a family here.
