AutoNation Chrysler Jeep West review

I received great service.

I received great service. Steve helped me and I was very satisfied. They let me drop the vehicle off the night before and it was ready the next night. Very efficient!

2018 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring review

Great value considering the superior safety features, low

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.

2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium review

My 4th Subaru is my favorite

I've had three other Subarus and this one is my favorite. One of the best parts about this car is how spacious it feels inside. The tall roof combined with the panoramic sunroof bring the outside in and make for a happy drive. It also has the famous Subaru boxer engine and AWD. Road noise is a bit louder than competitors, but that's ok to me because it makes the ride more fun. Also like the Eyesight suite of safety features. It adds a level of confidence to my commute. It also holds a lot of cargo when it needs to do it.

CarMax South Broadway review

Excellent service from Morgan Smith !!!!

I know how everybody always runs to write a review when it comes to anything going wrong! I think it’s equally as important to let people know when you have excellent service. I bought a 2014 Q 50 from Morgan yesterday and it was absolutely a seamless transaction.... The first time with visit in a dealer that has the hassle free attitude and fortitude, this was the first time that it was actually exercise correctly ! Morgan thank you for the care and time that you put in on my quest !!!! Kindest, AS You rock!66

Transwest GMC Denver review

Rafeal was my contact there and he was great.

Rafeal was my contact there and he was great. He went above and beyond to communicate share photos and video and was very transparent. As a matter of fact the whole process and everyone was easy to work with. Not the dealer where sale and sale manager go back and forth to do some crazy negotiating. Open transparent and fair dealing. Rafeal was an advocate throughout and in and out with anew car well less than an hr after trade in paperwork

2018 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring review

2018 Forester

10/29/2022 2 wks ago i bought 2018 forester premium. Overall very happy with the vehicle. It feels solid for a small car.The drivers seat is very comfortable for me. Im 6"0 and weight 230lbs. My only complaint so far is freeway driving. Seems to wander alot and if on grooved payment with wind then it becomes a chore to drive.

Excellent Service for a new car.

Sprinkler Used Cars review

Best Carlot in Longmont CO!

I recently purchased a used car from Sprinkler Used Cars, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made sure to understand my needs and budget, and found me a car that exceeded my expectations. The price was fair and the car was in excellent condition. I also appreciated the financing options available to me. Overall, I highly recommend Sprinkler Used Cars for anyone in the market for a quality used car. Thank you, Sprinkler, for the exceptional service!

I needed to find the true value of my car. Sawn not only told me what it was worth, he showed me what carfax thought it was worth and I liked his offer much better! He explained why and how I could get the most value for my car and I will definitely use this service again! If you want to know what your car is worth, this is a no-brainer, see Shawn first!

AutoNation USA Denver 104 review

My husband and I were so overwhelmed with our car search

My husband and I were so overwhelmed with our car search and were worried coming here may be just one more example of the sleazy used car salesman trope--we could not have been more wrong!! Joseph listened attentively to what mattered most to us in functionality, comfort, and price, and helped us to find many options that would be a good fit for us. We had a list of some we were interested in and he recommended some others that would fit the ticket well. He was so patient and informative as we test drove countless cars! Seriously, this guy is like a walking car encyclopedia! But also, isn't afraid to look something up if he's not sure, which rarely happens. It felt like car shopping with your cool uncle who knows everything about cars and is looking out for you. Can't recommend enough asking for Joseph when you need your next car!! He can pull almost any car from another Autonation location, so it's worth going here to work with him even if it's out of your way or doesn't have the car you think you might want! We wound up not finding our vehicle within the Autonation inventory, but still wanted to go out of our way to leave a review for Joseph because he made that much of an impact! A great ally in the stressful, overwhelming process of a big purchase :)
