Don Elliot Autoworld was the best car buying experience I've ever had. I drove an hour and a half from Kingwood to look at a used car that had been sold 10 minutes before I arrived, but I ended up leaving with a brand new vehicle instead. Johnny, Justin and Ronnie were all so awesome and did everything they could to get me the best deal on the exact vehicle I wanted. I was very hesitant at first to try for another new vehicle, especially after already getting the run around from another dealership, but all three of them made it happen, and I could not be happier! I would definitely make the hour and a half drive again! Thanks so much guys for all your help!!
My wife and I bought an 2015 Ram 1500 pickup from Don Elliot today. This has got to be the BEST car buying experience I have ever had in my 40 years of driving. I found the truck via an internet search on a Sunday while the dealership was closed. I sent a question Sunday expecting a response Monday, but to my surprise I got a reply Sunday. Upon arriving at the dealership, we were greeted and the truck was brought up to us for a test drive. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The truck was exactly as advertised and in great condition. We chose this dealership even though they were located 65 miles form our home as they had the best price for the mileage and options.While waiting to finalize the deal we actually had the dealership OWNER stop by to visit with us and ask how we were treated. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone for a great vehicle and great home town customer service.

I must say Mr. Johnny Garcia was an awesome person and awesome help. He made sure my mother was taken care of and left happy in something she wanted! We initially went to look for a used car from an ad and Mr. Garcia and his employees made sure we had a chance to test and review everything we came looking for. Then helped my mother in a better way and got her into a new 2016. She is very happy and he assisted in getting her old car turned in and squared away. Have to say loved their customer service and hospitality!!! To make things even better their buying process to include my mother's turn in was Superb! Thank you Sir and God Bless to you all look forward to doing business with you again in the future!!!
I wanted to surprise my wife for Valentine's Day, so I decided to drive a ways out of my way to get her the car she had found online at Don Elliott. When I arrived, I wasn't sure what to expect. Would they jerk me around? I was pleasantly surprised by the transparency and fairness of my salesman, Jason Rivera, who held firm to what he felt was fair; it was a true win-win situation. A couple days later, however, we found that the vehicle had a few issues that could be serious ones. Jason never wavered and encouraged us to bring it in. Our worst fears were confirmed, but the service and repair shop proved to be just as fair and helpful, and things are looking very bright. I can't think of anything I didn't like about Don Elliott Autoworld. First class all the way. We wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
I had a great experience at Don Elliot Autoworld! The sales people and the manager were wonderful. I live 2 hours away from Wharton, so I did all the negotiating by email and telephone with the manager. He was very accommodating, and worked really hard to help me get the car financed with the loan payments I needed each month for a pretty good interest rate. I placed a deposit for the car since I wasn't able to come get it til' the weekend. When I came, I overpaid my down payment, and the manger called me shortly after I left the dealership to let me know that I overpaid and that he'll be mailing me the refund. It's so refreshing to know good, honest people work at car dealerships! I highly recommend this dealership and would come back again if needed!
I just want to thank the DE team for a wonderful painless buying experience! I went in solo dreading being a single girl trying to buy a car. But I have to say that changed as soon as I was greeted and welcomed by Mr. Hohensee who listened to exactly what I was looking for in a car and to Mr. Garcia for making it all happen for me! Not once did I ever feel pressured! They are awesome down to earth people who truly make you feel at home. So something I thought would be a stressful experience turned out to be one of the smoothest experiences and am truly happy with my purchase! I also want to thank Mr. Hollingsworth for his warm personality and help with finalizing my purchase! I cruised out of the car lot in my new car with a smile! Thank you all!
We found additional vehicles that are close to your year range.
This sales person is an excellent person has helped me out with my cars and it always has been a great experience he???s friendly takes the time to show you the automobiles with calm he???s just what all sales guys should be like at the dealer if there was more Starz in rating I would give him 100000 starz he???s is awesome excellent customer service and that goes for everybody at dealer they always treat us like family thanks erdwin and see you soon for my daughters car 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Why buy anything eles?

I have owned 5 GMC Sierra Denali's and really loved those trucks but the 2019 Ram Limited is on a whole other level. The 5.7 is slightly slower than the 6.2 but in every other category the Ram is superior. I am very pleased with this truck.
My husband and I are die-hard Hyundia fans. I was first introduced to Hyundia while working in Taegu Korea 16 years ago. The car we had could not be shipped back to the U.S. because it didn't meet the required U.S. specifications. However after returning home, we needed an extra car and surprisingly we located and bought a previously own 2001 Hyundia Elantra. Kept it for 10 years (NO problems during the ownership) and traded it in for a new 2012 Hyndia Accent (my husband's car). I had purchased a new 2010 Tucson. Received great service on any recall. We were very happy with our purchases until we saw the 2017s, with all the upgrades..........Needlessly to say "I" traded my beloved Tucson for a 2017 Sante Fe Sports with all the upgrades!!! Wil Logan, Phil and Alvaro made the purchase seamless. No pressure what-so-ever. I had planned to upgrade in 2017 but with all the discounts, benefits and car selections made it easy for me to make the purchase now. I have to say the stress I put on myself was deciding which Sante Fe to buy. Wil and my husband watched silently as I ran from one Sante Fe to another. Wil and the Texan group were excellent in providing information about my car and the services I will receive. Something not provided to me by my hometown dealership. When my husband is ready to trade-in his Accent, we will definitely return to Texan Hyundia. Mary RB

Traded my 2015 Chevy Silverado V8 5.3, 6 spd, 4x2,
by Retired Skipper from Tucson/ Colorado

My Chevy with apex 350 HP V8 4x2 was nearly always in the range of 21 MPG, where my 2018 Ram is running about 19 MPG, but is 5.7, and has 4x4, making it a bit heavier, plus about 50 more HP. The Silverado was quick, but the Ram hauls! Learning to keep my foot out of fast...
We make an annual trip of about 1000 miles back and forth to COfrom Tucson AZ, will be interesting to see how it does for MPG on highway.
Looked closely at the 19s, but purchased a slightly used 18, saving us about 10,000. Am questioning the wisdom of not getting the19, with latest technology?? Bottom line, darned hard to beat an exceptional truck! My toughest adjustment is the hockey puck transmission selector. I nearly purchased a Ram when I purchased the Silverado, but didn’t like the puck, I was correct, still hate it, lowest part of the truck! I’d pay more to have a traditional gear selector!!
This car is better than my expectations , roomy , quick
Room for the family and the two large dogs
Hauls anything and everything.
Love everything about this truck
My 2016 Tucson is a superb feat of engineering. From the blind spot detectors, to the lane change assist, to the power seat, to the backup cameras, to the hands-free smart liftgate, the newly designed Tucson is a pleasure to drive and a pleasure to own. The first thing that attracted me to this vehicle was the Mojave Sand exterior. It sparkles in the sunlight (gorgeous!). Also, my salesman, Ricardo, advised me that the car gets 27 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city. That's a plus.I am sold on Hyundai.

I love my truck and the best part is that it came with a lifetime powertrain warranty! comfortable and the performance is through the roof!
I purchased my car in the least stressful and expeditious experience I have ever had at a dealership! No more than 3 or 4 hours! Julio answered all my questions and I felt prepared when it came time to discuss financing options. Overall painless experience. Will be back for maintenance and possibly my next car but I don't see myself needing one anytime soon. Confident that my 2017 Sonata will be with me for a very long time!

This truck is great. Easy on gas for a truck. Plenty of power for me and nice on long drives. It's all we drive anymore.
My wife and I walked into Texan Hyundai on Saturday evening, about fifteen minutes to closing. We just wanted to take a quick run through and look at what was on the lot. We were greeted by Simon who was friendly and helpful. As we looked Simon went and got Chazz Watts to assist. Long story short, we drove out with the Veloster Turbo on the showroom floor. The whole process from "we're just looking" to driving away took less than two hours. On a Saturday night that is more than impressive. Alvaro Ojeda stuck around late to make sure our financing was in order, and did a great job taking care of us. My thanks to all involved in making this a painless experience. I am normally not relaxed when I buy a new car, but Chazz and Simon took fantastic care of us, had a few laughs, and made a sale. I truly appreciate that there was no pressure to "close a deal" even though we kept everyone there late on a Saturday night (sorry guys...). I would most definitely recommend this dealership to any and all.

I am not a technical person, but I wanted the navigation screen in my car so traded in my 2012 Sonata for a 2017 red one. Texan Hyundai staff were supportive and straightforward; I have known them for several years and have enjoyed excellent service. It will take me a while to get comfortable with the navigation system, which required purchase of a new, more powerful cell phone. Mike and Aaron assured me that I can always come back for review or another lesson in the car's features.

Nicest truck I have ever driven

This truck is the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. It’s beautiful to look at from the outside in. It’s extremely comfortable to drive, but also feels like a truck.
We love our new truck, it’s very comfortable. We haven’t had it that long but so far we love it!! It drives very nice and for a diesel is really quiet!

4WD Hemi 1500. Just returned from trip from north Ala to Lancaster, PA and back. Interstate, highway and local sightseeing. I average 22.4 miles per gallon. I routinely average between 20 and 21 mpg. Truck has a 3.23 rear axle. Performance/ nimbleness is outstanding. Love this truck. Bought last August.
Quick service on my vehicle. I bought the vehicle from them and took back for service with them.

Great Truck
by Ledskof from Roswell, GA

The 2019 Ram 1500 crew cab Rebel with air suspension, 12" nav display, and the 5.7 Hemi is pretty nice.
Pros: comfort, usb-c that quick charges front and back, easy to use nav system, comfortable ride (with caveats), nice convenience features like rain sensing wipers, etc. Awesome sunroof, great styling inside and out. Oh yeah, easy tailgate. Soft down and easy up. Electronic latch. I know that's low on the list but I sure is nice.
Cons: ride is not good in aero suspension setting. Have to turn off that feature. Fuel economy is terrible. Typical 11-13 mpg. If someone says it is higher they are either not using it in traffic or they are lying. The back up emergency braking is jarring and over sensitive to the point of being terrible and unusable.
I think the rebel is awesome, and the air suspension is a must. But get nerf bars because waiting for it to raise and lower every time you get out or in is not reasonable. It's not so much a con, but bears mentioning.
Reliability is anyone's guess, obviously. It is a strong truck. Transmission shifts very smoothly.
In the rebel you lose the 4-wheel auto setting, which is a really nice thing to have. My old ram had it and I got into the habit of using it in the rain when I wasn't hauling anything.
I do not like the super luxury trucks typically, but the Rebel trim is a great compromise. You get the rubber floor mats standard, reasonable off road capability (face it that's needed even if you don't go mudding), and while it is indeed a"pretty" truck, it can get down to business without you worrying you are going to scratch your Sunday go to meetin' vehicle. I opted for a drop in bedliner which I personally feel does a better job of protecting against dents.
In the end, you don't need my or anyone else's review to decide on a new ram. They are excellent vehicles. Far better fit and finish than any Ford, far better materials and comfort than any Chevy. Not that I'm a religious purist about it, but then again, I bought mine because my last truck was a ram. My next one might or might not be. For now, they are a clear winner.
dealership goes above and beyond on service and sales
