I had been looking to purchase a new Acura ILX for several months. Like most people, I hate the whole "going to the dealer" experience, as it's always such a long, drawn out process. I find it easy to get online, and message 3 different dealers with what I'm looking for, and ask them to send me their "best price". Gillian Barnes from Crown Acura was one of the first to respond, then the other 2 dealers contacted me shortly thereafter. I gathered my quotes and went to see Gillian. The first thing that surprised me was Gillian's genuine interest in helping me...No pressure, no back and forth, just a sweet lady who knew I was looking for a good deal. I had explained to Gillian that one of the other dealer's offer was less than hers, but they didn't have the car in stock. Without hesitation, Gillian went to her manager and explained the situation, and came back to me with a smile on her face. Not only did she beat the other dealer's "best price", but she also gave me more than I expected on my trade in. I was in and out of the dealership, including the dreaded finance office, which was actually a nice experience, within a little over an hour. If you are looking for "no pressure" sales experience, be sure to ask for Gillian at Crown Acura!

Just finished leasing 2019 MDX A-spec. This is the fifth time I am leasing from Crown, and always from the same sales rep. Chris Duncanson. You will not find anyone more professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. After going through the sales/leasing experience for the fifth time I can truly attest to Crown Acura being the right dealership to go to for a new Acura, and Chris Duncanson the sales rep to deal with.

Kudos to Sophie Morris for treating me like a million dollar customer even though all I purchased was a pre-owned vehicle. She was attentive to my questions and accommodated my last minute request to test drive the car. Most importantly, at no time did I feel I was being pressured to make the purchase. She went out of her way driving me to the airport to have my rental returned, she could have easily suggested I call an Uber instead. All of this was delivered with a beautiful and genuine smile. Ask for her next time you are at Crown Acura, I know I will.

Gillian Barnes is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. She is a "class-act" salesperson. I was unsure whether a Acura RDX or the MDX would be best for my needs. She explained both products well, provided a test drive of each, and helped me with all the questions I had. She was instrumental in me purchasing a vehicle from Crown Acura!

John Shaw at Crown Acura has always taken great care of me in the service department he is professional and courteous and helps me get the most value on whatever service I am having completed. Chris Duncanson in sales helped me lease my new RDX when my TL needed to be traded in. He made me feel comfortable through the whole process, showing me all the features on the vehicle and helping me make the best decision for the money.

Sophie Morris at Crown Acura is fantastic! She did an awesome job working with me to find the MDX I wanted and I ended up buying a brand new 2017 MDX with Tech package. I am extremely happy with my buying experience and deeply appreciate Sophie's professionalism, responsiveness, honest feedback and her keenness to care for the customer and their buying experience. I whole heartedly recommend her to everybody. This is my second purchase from Crown and they have an excellent team!

I had my second incredible experience with Gillian Barnes at Crown Acura. I really dislike the car buying process in general and she has made it so easy and convenient for me and my family. She focuses on what we want and need vs. just trying to sell us on something. Everything from finding the options we wanted to having the paperwork ready by the time we walked in the door, everything was a breeze. I don't think I'll ever want to buy from anyone else.

My wife and I have now purchased or leased 6 Acuras from Crown. All have been serviced by Crown and John Shaw has been our service adviser since he got there. He is courteous & professional. I appreciate the use of their loaner fleet if the required service takes more than a few hours & our car is always sparkling clean when I pick it up. Keep up the good work. RB, St Petersburg, FL

Our visit to Crown Acura of Clearwater, was a very pleasant experience. Our sales person " Gillian Barnes" was very professional in her services and made us feel very special. She was concern with what we were really looking for in a vehicle and she proofed to be extremely knowdledgeable in knowing the in and outs of the vehicle that we were interested in. She took her time to show us the special features in the auto. Everyone in the dealership was very friendly and courteous. We would highly recommend this dealership and mostly "Gillian Barnes" to our family and friends. Thank you Gillian Barnes.

I have leased 4 Acura vehicles from Crown Acura over the last decade and can't say enough about the excellent customer service they offer. My sales representative for all 4 leases was Chris Duncanson and he makes buying a car so easy and hassle free for me that he is one of the biggest reasons I keep going back. Chris knows that I am always tight on time and he gets me in and out of the dealership quickly. He is honest and genuine and really listens to my wants and needs, always coming up with suggestions and solutions that will ensure my satisfaction. It is hard for me to imagine switching to another type of car or another dealership as Chris and Crown Acura are so great to do business with! I have sent many friends and colleagues to Crown Acura and to Chris Duncanson and I will send many more! Thanks Chris and Crown!

I can't say enough about my experiences with Crown. We bought our secondly Acura from Sophie Mortis and the experience was as wonderful as I would wish it to be. When I recently had a problem with my car that made it inoperable she personally drove 35 miles to bring me a loaner. Once my car was towed to Crown, John Shaw in service took over and made my repairs quick and painless. Updating me along the way. They are amazing!!!! Thank you Sophie and John.

John Shaw at Crown Acura service was very helpful, courteous and honest. The car was finished when he said it would be. I wish I knew the mechanic's name but I do not. When I got in my car and noticed a light on that I could not figure out how to turn off - he was driving by, stopped and asked me if I had a problem - parked the car he was in and came over - John had already gone in to get a mechanic so I had three of them just to turn off a simple light :) I was visiting the area and would certainly use them again when in town.

Sophie Morris helped make the car buying process so easy. She was so friendly and answered all of our questions. When we arrived we were in the other lot and she walked all the way to us to help us out! Sometimes you can be hesitant to call and ask someone for a random question about the car but with how friendly Sophie is I know that will never be a problem. I would recommend Sophie to everyone who wants to make a purchase at Crown Acura!

We recently visited Crown Acura and spoke with Gillian Barnes. Ms. Barnes was very knowledgeable and helpful with the purchase of our new 2016 Acura TLX. We spent several hours test driving and reviewing all the "bells & whistles" that come with the car. Gillian was very patient and used her expertise to make for a pleasant new car purchase. So far we are very pleased with our purchase. Anne Christopher Tony Kell

John Shaw is my service advisor. I have been using John as my adviser since at least 2005. He is very pleasant and really looks out for his customers. His service has always been great and continues to be great to this day. My Acura is now 14 years old and in just as good condition as it was when I started service years ago. I know it cost more at a dealership to have ones car serviced but to me it is well worth it, as I know my car will be right when returned with John overseeing repairs...peace of mind means a lot when you depend on your car for transportation (for work and pleasure). I can not say enough on how much I am pleased with the quality and professionalism John and his service staff display when taking care of my service needs.

Another superb maintenance service at Crown ACURA on my RDX this past week--a huge thank you as always to John Shaw! Exceptional customer focus and expert mechanical work. John made sure everything went smoothly from the moment I pulled in and even managed to squeeze in some additional service items all within the original timeframe. Just quality effort all around and terrific efficiency. John always explains the servicing clearly and ensures the best work at the best/fair price. Unquestioned integrity from John and his team. Definitely a pleasure to work with John and I always leave confident that my vehicle is road ready for any situation.

John Shaw was our service advisor, and was very pleasant and helpful! I am very pleased with the repairs done, but it was very expensive for a 15 year old car! If this lasts me several more years, I will be very happy! John provided us with a beautiful new loaner MDX 2016 for the duration of the repairs which was GREAT! If this lasts me 2 to 5 more years, it will all be worth it. I knew it would cost more at a dealership when I took it there, and I was warned up front approximately what the cost would be. Thanks to John and the service staff

Wanted to take the chance to direct anyone looking for a new Acura to Sophie Morris, she is a consummate professional who truly streamlines the process for the busy individual, which really is most of us. I have leased several Acuras with her and there is a reason I always reach to her when the time comes. I have personally referred colleagues, family , and friends to her.
