Drove my car from dekalb county all the way to autonation in union city to look at a Ford Mustang GT Went through the process of appraisal to see what I would be offered for my 2011 Acura TL Sh-AWD they offer me 2.5k and I refuse the offer to infact sell my car privately so I could get more money to put down towards the mustang GT. After refusing the trade in and not agreeing with the estimated range of apr I decide to take a business card for when I come back. As I’m leaving to go to my parents place of work I notice a sound that was coming from the front of my car as I was driving it sounded like something was loose or had been tampered with I paid it no mind but the longer I drove my car the more unsettling it seemed so I called the agent that helped me and told him that there was something wrong with my car that I know for a fact was not wrong with it before someone else got into my car he said the guy that test drove it would call me back which he did not do so I drove back up to the lot and tried to explain what was going on but the person that test drove my car decided to be a smart mouth about the situation insisting that the lights on my dash where lit up like a Christmas tree and insisted on telling me what I already knew about my car trying to dismiss my concerns so I talk to the manager who basically did the same thing in a nicer less arrogant way so he offers to have a mechanic go for a ride with me which says Mechanically he doesn’t see anything wrong with the car (great guy by the way) so I decided to leave and chalked it up to me just being a little worried about my car but as I was driving back home with my mother who I recently picked up from work I notice the sound had gotten louder and my car was shaking like a stripper which as all Acura owners know is not a trait of the smooth ride that is usually incorporated in the brand unless something is wrong when I drove to the dealership my car was smooth and fine so why when I’m returning home is my car shaking like a earthquake even my mother who has driven in my car many times said it was making a weird noise and shaking which has never happened before I agree that this dealership has some predatory tactics up there sleeves so if you’re a younger crowd do not go alone and do not let the “appraise” your car without watching some of them are sneaky and my lawyer will be inspecting my car soon

I went on Labor Day initially to purchase a used truck that was advertised online. Upon arrival, they mentioned someone had took the keys home with them so I couldn’t even see the inside. I came back the next day, test drove it, and wanted to move ahead with purchase. Salesman (David Toor) told me the truck hadn’t been certified yet so it needed to go through that first. The truck was still dirty and full of the old owners belongings so I asked if the could clean it as well. I went ahead and told him that the sunroof, AC motor, and rear window didn’t work so if they could get that fixed. David talked to his sales manager Charles and they agreed to fix it. I mentioned I really needed the truck so if they could let me know when it’s done it would be great. David took copies of debit card (cash purchase) and my drivers license and I also signed a form. I told them I would leave a deposit on it, and he said they would run it. Today June 9th, he still hadn’t reached out to me so I called in. They mentioned he was on vacation and wouldn’t be back for a while. I decided to walk in the dealer and ask what was the status of the truck. Sales manager told me they had actually sold the truck already. I was completely bummed out about this. How can a dealer sale a truck I had put down a deposit for already?! They mentioned they actually never ran my card, and someone decided to buy the truck as is. (David said they were so proud of their certification process and bragged about it, but how can a dealer sale a truck with all those issues getting addressed?) This experience with Autonation Union City has been completely unprofessional, and I would not recommend doing business with them. I put my trust into them thinking they were “certifying” the truck and doing repairs, that I was waiting on their call and missed out on other potential trucks I could’ve bought in the market. They will never get my business in the future.

My experience at this dealership has been mostly unpleasant. I purchased a used vehicle on November 20th, 2020 and as of today, January 8th, 2021 I still haven't received my tag. The temporary tag that issued by the dealership expired on January 4th, 2021. Even today, as I checked the Georgia's e-Services website, my vehicle is listed as having 1) no valid title with 2) No emissions test received. However, I shouldn't be surprised as this appears to be the result of the culmination of service I received upon first entering the dealership. Lie #1: I was quoted rate terms that couldn’t be fulfilled, after waiting almost an hour after being told they could be fulfilled. Lie #2: I was told that my truck was ready for pickup but still had to wait for almost two hours before I could drive off with my truck. Lie #3: Proactively knowing that my tag may expire when I realized that I hadn’t received my tag by December 18, 2020, thirty days after my purchase, I called to the dealership to express my concern. Someone took down my information and told me that the finance manager would return my call. This didn’t happen. So, on December 21st, 2020, I drove to the dealership to see if I could talk to someone about it. I was told that the title clerk was on Christmas vacation and that my information will be left for her to call me next week when she returned. Predictably, my call was not returned, and I drove to the dealership again on December 29th, 2020. Long story short, the title clerk informed me she received the title and will FedEx it to the Georgia title office, but it should be at home by the end of this week. Yet, when I checked online today, the vehicle not only reports that it’s not yet registered, but it’s also missing emission information. I’ve called to leave a message with the title clerk today and still haven’t received a call back. So, why would I take the time to write all of this? Clearly, I’m not happy with the level of service I received from this dealership. And I suppose it’s ok for them to treat their customers this way since vehicle purchases from the same dealership are seldom recurring events. But, I wanted my voice to be heard so if YOU go to AutoNation Ford Union City to purchase a vehicle, you’d at least be prepared to know how you’ll be treated. In other words, while I hope it doesn’t happen to you, be prepared to have your $40,000 truck sit in your garage with the exact same utility as a paperweight. EDIT: The response from the "Owner" in the below response is more or less the same poor experience. Why would I have to call the general manager instead of the general manager reaching out to me? TOTALLY poor experience, as I've said already. EDIT 2: Finally received my title and plate on Jan 26th, 2021, which was 24 days after temp title expired. 24 days I could not legally drive my vehicle. Purchased trunk on Nov 20th.

Auto nation Ford union city Ga My experience was beyond awful . Awful wouldn’t even been to describe my experience. My experience was just unbelievable dreadful, it was just horrendous. The being of the experience started off great I had a great Sale man (Andrew) who help me find the perfect truck . Before I came Into the dealership I took the time out to pre-qualify through capital one and print all my needed documents for the finance process. I had a appointment for the dealership At 3pm . Within the first 30’mins we find the perfect truck . When it came to the finance process it took the 6 HOURS to just look at my application. I sat in that office patiently for 6 hours . I had my husband and my 2 year son with me who started to though a temper tantrum because we had been there all day and he was sleepy . The whole time I was waiting nobody talked to me or checked on me or nothing . I watched them take care of every other person In the middle which happen to be white people . Finally at 9:30 after the closed they told me I would have to wait and they would send in my paper work . After I sat there and waited 6 and a half hour and I had already been approved. So I calmly left as the store was closing . The next morning I arrived At the store bright and early 9 am SHARP. As the door was opening for the day . I sat there untill 10:30 before someone even said something . Again I was told that my paper worked need to be sent in it would take about 2 hours . Which my paper work should have been sent in yesterday when I was there for 6.5 hours . So i said okay . I was asked to leave and someone would call me with in An hour and update me . I left and nobody called me for the whole two hours I waited . I return to the store At 12:30 once I seen on my credit I was approved. Upon arriving to the dealership the explained the lost All my paperwork And had me feeling out paper work for 2 hours of pointless questions I had already previously answer . At about 4:30 I started cutting up cause at this point I had been almost 8 hours not counting the 6 hours the day before . The lady from finical seen I was sitting upset and came out and took care of us .Once I finally got into the financial office which the lady did a great job . The lady explained to me that my deal (approval) was ready before 1pm and I had been just sitting due to the bad customer service. After signing my deal and completing my paper work it still took an hour to find the keys and put a temp tag on the truck . If your a person of color I wouldn’t recommend the dealership. They treat people of color with no respect and they act like our time Is less valuable then theirs . I was there the first day 3:00 pm - 9:30pm and there the second day 9:00 am - 6:15 pm . I was there an total of 15 hours for something that should have token 2 hours . This experience was horrendous. No one care to even try to fix the problem or apologize for having me wait so long. This dealership is horrific and terrible when it comes to dealing with people of color .

I was interested in a vehicle I had seen in passing and was in need of one right away. As I looked over the vehicle I pointed out a few safety issues that needed attention (cracked windshield, tire wear, adjustable seat control. I was told that it had just been traded in and that they hadn?t really looked it over in detail. I totally understood and the manager said they would take care of these issues immediately. I felt confident that he would keep his word, and after deciding to buy it the salesman said it would be ready in about two days. After receiving a message that it would be ready by 4pm two days later, I made arrangements to retrieve the vehicle. Not only was it not ready, but after waiting 3 more hours it was brought out without any of the things done to it and the trash that was in it the day I first was it was placed in the middle compartment! I was pressed for time at this point so I said I would bring it back the next day. I filled up the tank (it was nearly on empty) and upon arriving home I could smell fuel. There was an obvious leak somewhere since I had a fuel stain on my driveway, so I took it back to them. One of the managers told me that they spent roughly $1,600 in fixing issues (battery replacement, oil fill, etc.), however it was obvious that none of it was true. The old oil sticker was still in the window and past due, the old battery was still in there, crack still in the window, and so on. My biggest and most immediate concern was the fuel leak issue. After speaking with the one of the service attendants he originally said that it would be a week before they could look at it, but I pressed for someone to look at it since every around could smell it. They pulled it into the garage and about 30 minutes later they said there was no leak and the smell was gone (they basically just cleaned it up instead). It was clear to me at that point that they were not interested in my safety or satisfaction, nor the condition in which they sold a vehicle to someone. Although the salesperson and manager were initially pleasant, I?m still fearful that this is not the first time someone has experienced this type of treatment. As much as I was excited to think I had found a great dealership, that excitement has faded into anger and concern that I allowed them to take advantage of my excitement.

Extremely Poor Customer Service Received From Auto Nation Ford On Or About 30Nov 2020, (Monday at 4:30pm) I had a scheduled appointment for a recall for my 2018 F-150 Ford Truck. I decided to drop the Truck off that evening. Gary Roberts (Service Advisor) was waiting on a female customer and was doing more socializing than business. I waited about a half hour. He asked what needs to be done. I stated “Are you through socializing “? He gets an attitude and states, “If, you feel that way get someone else to wait on you”. He refused service which he was hired for. Three times he refuse services. I ask to see the Service Manager which was out at the time. The Service Parts Manager directed me to the General Manager. WE talked and Jon (GM) was supposed to find out what happen. How can a Service Advisor, refuse service to a customer and refuse to perform their job duties? Gary Roberts was rude and unprofessional Service Advisor. Yes, the under trained worker look like me. They got another person to wait on me. I returned Wednesday to pick up the truck and Gary Roberts is still working there after refusing service to a customer. No one is answering their phone or returning any calls. I called Ford Customer Service in Deering, Michigan and they do not get involved into Dealership customer service complaints but will write it up and refer it back to them. In addition, prior to this service visit, I had to wait three hours for an oil change with a schedule appointment. I have the extended warrant but will not recommend them for Sales, Parts, or Service. I was going to upgrade my truck for a 2021 Truck but not there at Auto Nation Ford, Union City, 4355 Jonesboro Road (770-473-3100). Can someone described the type of customer service was received from this place? They have lost a sale, parts, and future service opportunities. Gary Roberts acted like there would be no repercussions for refusing service to a customer which to this day did not occur. The leadership does not exist at this place. No one has attempted to contact me. I will rate them a negative five star for service. If, this is their good service then what does their bad service feels like? I am wondering how their bottom line (profit margins) in the service department is.

August 7th at approximately 10:00 a.m.my family and I were loaded up and headed for a short but much needed vacation. After breakfast at McDonald's our car, 2014 Taurus, would not crank. I popped the hood and found the positive battery terminal covered in corrosion. The terminal is covered by a plastic cover so it went unnoticed, besides the battery is less than a year old. After cleaning off the corrosion I saw the battery terminal was broke. If you google this problem you will find this apparently is a known problem. The terminal is part of a plastic assembly with other plugs and wires so it isn't a simple fix. I called several parts stores and they all said you gotta go to Ford. AutoNation Ford of Union City was on our way so we called them. The parts guy verified they have the part. $350! OK Ford you got us. We are in dire need and I guess we have to pay it. We jump the car off and head to AutoNation where they will save the day. Not so fast. We turned the car over to the service department and explained our situation, luggage, kids, beach... More than an hour later my wife asked about the status. She was told that they cant get to it until late that afternoon, 3-4p.m. and was presented with a quote. $1000. That is correct one thousand dollars! We were told the battery needed replacing, the part, labor and then the reprogramming of the computer because the battery was dead. A $1000 for a battery terminal. I kindly refused and asked for the car back. They said it wont start and we needed to call a tow truck. I told them I was able to jump it off and one of the employees said "well may be you know something our mechanics dont!" I did not appreciate the comment. So I walked to the car with a "mechanic" who placed the jumper cables on the battery terminal. I quickly moved it from the battery terminal to the starter wire. The terminal WAS BROKE! of course the car wouldn't start. I cranked it up and drove back home. I went to Amazon and purchased the part for $28. Too bad it wasn't prime 2 day shipping so I had to wait for the part. I received it yesterday. It took less than 30 minutes to replace and that includes having to search for my 10mm socket. It cranked right up. No new battery, no "reprogramming" of the computer. $1000 - $28= $972 in savings. The real value is in knowing where to take your car in an emergency or better where not to take it. I wished I could give a negative star. An opportunity to help someone in a tough situation, I feel, turned into an chance to take advantage.

My 2014 Ford Focus was brought in because it was recalled. I made an appointment and brought the car in at 8:00 a.m. The problem I had was after the checkup or repairs. I discovered that my clock, lights, radio and other related devises had been changed or and were not put back to their original positions. These were settings that always remained on since I had the car (2014). When I discovered that these necessities had been turned off or changed, I called the service department and they instructed me to come back to Union City. I am a Senior Citizen and I live in East Point, GA. This meant that I had to drive back there to get these devises back on or adjustments made. If the mechanics turned these devises off and changed the settings. They should have be turned back on and adjusted when they completed the service on the vehicle. I went to Good Year and personnel there readjusted my clock and got it back on. Then I discovered I had no lights for night driving,the lights would not stay on. The shop personnel had turned the adjustments OFF for my lights that stayed on day and night. My neighbor came over and turned those back to where they were originally. When the mechanics work on cars and complete the work assignment, they should readjust and put all changes made to their original place (back to where they were when the vehicle was brought in for service). Management there was of little concern or help. All they could say is "bring the car in". NO, I was not driving back to Union City after a five or six hour wait for something that the mechanics did not put back to the original place, which is negligent. I am a senior citizen and this was a very bad experience for me. Those changes made by the mechanic or whom ever did the repairs or whatever, they should have readjusted devices in my vehicle to the original position for which they were after they serviced the car. I had no lights for night driving and my clock and radio were out and did not function. Is this how you treat all of your customers? I have owned three or four new Fords in my life time and have always received great service, but this one trip was a very bad experience for me. You service a clients vehicle, change the devises or turn them off when servicing it and upon completion and not put the devises back to the original positions for which they were when the customer brought in car in for service. The service received was the result of a recall on the 2014 Focus purchased in 2014. Artvetta Y. Jones

I dropped my Ford F150 off at the service department on Monday OAB 1100 hrs for repair of 2 recalls and to examine the right front brakes to determine if the rotors from 2 earlier repairs had failed again. I was given the impression that I could wait on the repairs or be provided shuttle service to my home. I elected to return to pick up my vehicle and did not require shuttle service. OAB 1700 hrs I tried calling the tech service rep on the line I was given as it was her direct line. After 2 tries, I called the main service # and the operator connected me to my service tech whom I could not contact on her direct line. Her reason, "I was with the boss, you know how that goes." I was advised that my vehicle required parts which had to be ordered and it would be ready the next day. No follow up calls from the tech to advise of the repair process. OAB 1845 hrs, I again tried the direct numbers but again had to go through the service operator and was connected to my service tech. Svc tech: "The parts are in and it should be finished in the morning. I'll give you a call. The front rotors need to be adjusted and I recommend that the back brakes be redone." I opted not to have the back brakes serviced since I had had no indication that they were out of adjustment. OAB 1130 hrs on Wednesday, I again called the tech who commented, "You must have read my mind, I was just about to call you. Your vehicle is in wash. Give me about an hour and you can pick it up." OAB 1300 hrs I arrived @ the service department and was told to proceed to the cashier. The cashier did not have my paperwork and advised the tech of the same. The tech came to the cashier's office and to her surprise and she could not understand why, the paperwork was not there. I finally completed the paperwork and paid for the service OAB 1330 hrs. I was able to see the dealership's service manager and outlined to him my experience with his service tech and that I felt that this was by far the worst service experience I had ever experienced.After the service manager indicated that he would address my concerns with his staff, I assured him that I would afford the dealership another chance to service my vehicle but only with another tech that he assigned.
