Testimonials
Fantastic Service!
Thank you Gene!
“ This has been a long time coming, but I’m thankful that I spoke to Gene at Tim Smith Acura. While looking to regia an e my vehicle, he graciously put the effort in to find me the beat deal. He’s a great man and will explain things to you in a compassionate way that shows that he truly cares for the people that walk into Acura. I will not doubt that there are possibly more like him that work there as well. Thank you, Gene and Tim Smith Acura for you assisting me on my vehicle’s refinancing. ”
Customer Testimonial
“ My sales rep was Conor Ryan and my finance man was Gene Watson. Both were real people and our treatment was fantastic, considerate, polite and thoughtful. My daughter and I experienced real attention, not fake or insincere affectation. Details were seen to, and it didn't feel as if they were done out of obligation. Our satisfaction is very high, from the moment we arrived we were expected and greeted in a way that said that we had (finally) made it home, it was incredible. You have tremendous representation at Tim Smith Acura. Thank you so much for making our first Acura purchasing experience so incredibly positive and impressive. ”
Great Experience!
“ I was looking to buy and new car for my pregnant girlfriend. Conor Ryan my sales rep set me up with the safest vehicle I could have. He was informative, easy to work with and got me exactly what I wanted. Gene Watson also made the process as effortless and painless as possible. He handled the tag/title and trade in. These guys were amazing, 10/10 would recommend to any looking for new or used vehicle!! ”
Great Customer Service
“ Highly recommend Tim Smith Acura. The salesmen are honest and willing to work on the best deal for you. I messaged Earl at first and he was quick to answer all my questions and send me information I was inquiring about. They even stayed open late so I could make a test drive after I left work that evening. Thank you Earl, Connor and Gene for giving me a great deal with even better service. These guys will take care of you. ”
Customer Testimonial
“ Yesterday I made my first car purchase which is an overwhelming and big decision to take in at first. We were greeted on the lot immediately by Conor who was extremely upbeat and positive to interact with. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the inventory and very passionate about the job/cars. He provided all the necessary information (and more) on multiple cars and answered all our questions. He was not pushy at all and made the process very easy. Conor is a salesperson that is personable and makes you feel like you have known him for years! We ended up moving forward with a car and we’re at the dealership longer than expected, but Conor made sure my family and I were comfortable. He walked me through how to set up my car to ensure I know everything before leaving. Gene was a wonderful, kind finance person who made all the paperwork seem manageable and explained everything! He knew he had a long day and was excellent to get everything signed up and ready to go. We were lucky enough to communicate with Ben and we were able to bond on some great travel stories. It was great customer service from the second we arrived to saying by to Conor as we pulled off. I am so excited about my car and will recommend to anyone I know to come visit your team!! Thank you!! ”
Professional, Honest and Genuine
“ I don't even know where to begin. Recently involved in an accident that resulted in a total loss of my vehicle. I began searching across the panhandle from Pensacola to Panama City beach for used Hondas. I found a used Honda Civic with low mileage and a great price. I contacted the dealership and they were very responsive. After arriving at the dealership, I had what I describe as the best car buying experience I've ever had! Vehicle looked just like the photos online. Earl, Ryan and Gene was the best. They were professional, honest and very genuine in their approach. Great people, great dealership. Gene assisted me with obtaining the best deal, interest rate and car coverage I've ever had. I recommend this dealership and team to anyone looking for a quality vehicle with a great service team. ”
Great Experience
“ After much research on what we wanted specifically, we stopped at Tim Smith Acura and engaged with our sales rep Conor. Conor was laid back, attentive, but not overbearing. He set us up with a couple test drives and then kept in touch with us as we discussed the final decision. Our list of wants didn't match anything on the lot, so we waited. Conor contacted us when the right vehicle came in, set up the showing, and closed the deal; all while making us feel at home. Gene was as solid and personable as it comes with the paperwork and getting out the door. Overall great experience and a great team in Earl, Conor, and Gene. Many thanks. ”
Great Customer Service
“ This place has the best sales people! We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Earl Youngblood. He is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful. He greeted us right away, was very enthusiastic and was eager to help us get into the car we wanted. There are a lot of cars and car lots in FWB, but nothing beats the unmatched customer service Mr. Youngblood provided at Tim Smith Acura! Definitely recommend :) ”
Great Customer Service
“ My husband contacted Tim Smith Acura to buy me a 2020 RDX for my birthday. He was really impressed by the courtesy and respect he received from Gene Watson in internet sales. My husband and Gene worked out all the details to get me the RDX I wanted. Gene delivered on every expectation that was set, going above and beyond for us. We arrived to pick up the vehicle and Gene was also our financial contact, making it a really smooth experience. Gene was eager to make sure we had everything we wanted and more. I am so glad we chose Tim Smith Acura and you will be too! Bravo Zulu!! ”
Excellent Experience
“ I have been shopping in the southeast for a used Lexus RC F for months and came across one at Tim Smith Acura that had the specs I wanted. I reached out to them with a text and the Internet Sales Manager, Gene Watson engaged immediately. Gene was off the next day so the Sales Manger Ben filled in and was highly responsive as we negotiated the deal. I appreciated that Gene and Ben worked with me via texts only which is what I preferred. We agreed on price and I flew in 2 days later to pick it up. The paperwork was ready first thing in the morning as they knew I wanted get on the road quickly for the 10.5 hour drive home. Gene handled the closing which was a high-tech and super efficient process! The car was in excellent condition with no surprises or issues. This was an excellent experience all around and I highly recommend Tim Smith Acura! ”
Customer Testimonial
“ Went to test drive a Maserati, Gene and Ben were very helpful, and respectful of my time, very easy to communicate with via different mediums. Decided the car wasn't my best choice, they suggested i look at there certified Acura models. After finding a RDX that i wanted to drive, all it took was a text with the cars i wanted to see and when i arrived Kyle Walker was ready to answer any questions or concerns. I had a price in mind after doing research and a trade value for my car. When they presented the offer , was better than expected. Easiest car buying transaction i have had.
