Salman Haq sold an unsafe vehicle. It was rusted out in 2 spots on the frame. One spot was filled with bondo. This was verified through OMVIC and MTO. These places, along with Consumer Affairs, BBB, Autonations CEO, lawyer and facebook daily posts have all been contacted. Mr. Haq just recently got off his second probation. What does it take to get this dealer's licence pulled before someone gets killed?

Terrible dealership
This company can only improve by closing its doors. The dealership owner is shady. He unlawfully sold us a truck which is unsafe and not road worthy, he is now denying to take any responsibility, were currently getting ready to take the owner to court. This review is to save others, do not go to autonations car sales in windsor. I will make sure that all evidence and posts are cycling through this internet to save anyone else from buying any garbage from him.

Purchased a Toyota Tacoma from…
Purchased a Toyota Tacoma from AutoNation Toyota Pinellas park a few years ago. The paint is peeling off while the truck is still under factory warranty. Toyota it would appear is trying to keep a paint problem quiet. AutoNation just blames the problem on Toyota.
How long has Toyota known about their paint peeling and were vehicles at Toyota dealers sold knowing there was a problem?
Per warranty Toyota says to work with the dealership for issues and the Toyota customer care number is not helpful. Be careful it seems AutoNation just wants to sell vehicles and be done with it. Over two months and I am now seeking legal assistance.
This is a much larger story. Search the internet for peeling paint Toyota Tacoma and also just Toyota peeling paint.
Average price to replace a transmission $4,000 to $7,000. Average cost to paint an vehicle correctly $5,000 to $20,000. You might want to research another manufacturer that stands by their product.

AVOID!!!
We purchased the car 60 days ago (or so) and we have had to replace all four tires and now a battery. The car has 20,000 (18,500 when we purchased it) miles on it and we have not hit the threshold of the 90 days or 4,000 warranty that the dealership offers not to mention the extended warranty we purchased. There is absolutely no reason we have had to spend $1700 on repairs on a car that we purchased less than 3 months ago. The dealership is refusing to help us and basically said “we checked the battery” and “the tires were fine”. Honestly avoid this place. The people who helped us initially are great, but sold us a lemon and won’t do anything about it. I've also reached out to their corporate office EVERY DAY for the past 7 business days and every time I call they say "someone will call you back in 48 business hours, that's 6 business days"....I've called them 8 times and also emailed them 8 times with absolutely no response Auto Nation is a joke and won't do the right thing. Please go to a certified dealer.

Horrible Customer Treatment
Tried to purchase a vehicle from this company and were advised they wouldn't sell to us since we couldn't close the deal before month-end. The salesman followed up after the first of the month stating the vehicle was still available for purchase, then took another buyer and pulled the vehicle from the site. The deal with the other buyer fell through and the vehicle was relisted on the site. We tried to purchase again and asked to confirm shipping costs. Three days later, with multiple inquiries to confirm shipping, they sold vehicle and only notified after we followed up. Horrible customer treatment and experience all around.

Automation of Colorado Springs is shady, buyer beware!
I bought a 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie from Autonation on Austin Bluffs in Colorado Springs. I traded in a 2021 Mercedes C300 and a brand new motorcycle that had 21 miles on it. Initially my experience was ok, not great.
When it finally came to going over the numbers and signing paperwork, they purposefully only show me what my payment would be, but not what they were giving me for my trades. If they were a stand up dealership they wouldn’t have tried to hide the fact that they were screwing me. On both vehicles. When the salesman got payoff on my Mercedes, he just looked at what was owed on the financial company’s app which was on my phone, rather the do their due diligence and actually call the bank it was financed through to get a 30 or 45 day payoff like any other dealership would do.
It wasn’t until I checked to see that the vehicle I traded was paid off that I noticed a small balance left of approximately $230 that Autonation still owed. When I called to inform them or the difference, there management immediately blamed it on me and said it was my fault for the discrepancy and refused to take care of the balance. So I called upper management, and as expected they blew me off and didn’t care what I had to say.
So I called corporate, which got me nowhere. Finally I left the General manager and long voicemail. At which point a sales manager called and said they’d take care of the balance like they were doing me a favor. That was 8 days ago, they still haven’t paid the balance.
Needless to say I will never do business with Autonation again. They are shady at best, so buyer beware. Lessoned learned, Make sure you know what your vehicle is worth before trading it in, make sure they show you the numbers up front before signing any paperwork.

False & Misleading advertisement. NOT SATISFIED AT ALL!
I purchased an item that was listed and appeared to be a tire repair kit. This is/was a deceptive advertising tactic and I fell for it. I tried contacting them via the website and by telephone. I still have received no response. I see the importance of reading a series of reviews now. I WILL NOT, WOULD NOT give any recommendation to use Auto Nation. They failed to respond in adequate time to my return request. I therefore spent $122.xx for an overpriced and unusable can of tire sealant. The only way to use it is to purchase and air compressor that is also advertised as an item in the online description.

Trash
Trash. Absolute trash. Takes forever to get in touch with anyone. They also claim certain packages you purchased are non refundable which is BS. Wanna hear something funny? I just got an email saying the theft protection package I purchased is nonrefundable. As if that doesn’t constitute theft in and of itself lmao. I know I’ll never see a dollar of what I paid for that, but figured I’d post out of principle. Avoid this clown show like the plague.
