Best car buying experience ever. The staff is very professional, and knowledgeable. Not only was the sales experience amazing, but the customer service department was also very professional, and prepared to take care of an issue I had with the truck. My right rear tire had a leak, turns out the rim was cracked. Echo Park replace my wheel for me at no cost. Not only that, the rim came in two days later, and they replaced it that day! Great place, great team. I would recommend this place to anyone in the market for a used car. The prices are spot on as well. I did my homework, and this place had the best prices. They also gave me a great deal on my trade in.
This place is REFRESHING! Don’t think I could ever buy from a traditional dealership again. The staff was quick to respond, professional, and laid back. There was no pressure, no hard sales pitch. The buying process was sooo easy! We were in and out in less then 2 hours…and driving home with my sons first car! Thank you so much Kurt and Cody!! We have 3 more teens to buy cars for and we will definitely be back!
Many thanks to Kalli and the team at EchoPark in New Braunfels. Kalli, the sales rep was absolutely amazing. He made the process of buying a new vehicle painless. Not only was the service seamless, the facility was neat and clean. I went on a Saturday and they were very busy, yet the atmosphere was calm and organized. Thank you Kalli and staff, from administrative to service, for making the experience easy and even enjoyable! Ive enclosed a couple of pictures of my gorgeous new ride!
Super easy, efficient, hassle free service. Fair prices. Overall great car buying experience. Jonathan V helped me find the exact car I was looking for. Thanks again
My experience with EchoPark in New Braunfels was seamless and very positive. Cliff was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to my questions. Glad I was able to find a reasonable dealership that had the car I wanted for a great price and made the buying process easy. Many thanks to Cliff and the team.
Very nice people to deal with. No pushy sales. They were willing to go the extra mile for our purchase. We drove our nee vehicle home after they stayed late to get it all done. Only issue we had was when we returned for our scheduled appointment to get the tires replaced and a large scratch buffed it took over 3 hours and only got the tires on. We still have to go back after rescheduling for them to complete. They have a very nice waiting area and looks great but there were several other people with complaints about the service department. Maybe a little less money on looks and a little more on mechanics and functionality. But overall happy with our vehicle thus far.
We just went in to look at a few cars for our daughter and never thought our daughter would be driving away in her new car. The experience at Echo Park NB was absolutely wonderful. Peter Molina was very informative, friendly and made the whole car buying experience feel like a breeze. This is our second time experiencing Echo Park; and I have to say it is most certain that I will never buy from a traditional dealership again. Echo Park has a lifetime customer for sure! If you’re looking into purchasing a vehicle, go to Echo Park and ask for Peter or one of their other amazing team members!
The whole process was quick and easy. I was pleasantly surprised I left within an hour!! Joe is an AWESOME finance manager! He got me exactly the car I wanted and Ryan the salesman- put a bow on it and took my picture!!! Hands down the best and easiest car buying experience Ive ever had!!! Highly recommend!!!
After searching for hours on all the car buying websites out there, I found what I wanted at Echo Park. Called before I made the trip from Austin to New Braunfels and spoke with Natasha who was amazingly helpful, reminding me what to bring with me to purchase a car. She got me an appointment within the hour to come look at my car. Once I arrived, I was greeted promptly and we got to it. Peter was helping me out. While I test drove my car, he had my trade in appraised. By the time I got back, they were ready with my offer at a price much higher than I expected for my 10-year-old car. Financing was a breeze. Peter was very helpful with all my questions as a first time buyer. Wonderfully fast and easy experience. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a great, no haggle, fast experience
It was time for an upgraded vehicle for my family. I did a virtual appraisal on Echo Park’s website for our current vehicle and was very happy with the offer. Peter Molina was able to help us locate the trade vehicle we were interested in. He was super helpful, very friendly and attentive. He was even able to keep my monthly payments within the range I wanted them to stay WITH full coverage…warranty, the appearance protection and gap. The whole process took less than a couple hours. I’m extremely happy with our experience!!
Excellent service. Very attentive and courteous.Best prices and quality by far!! Kris and Cody were wonderful and I could not have asked for better. Exceeded my expectations.Big Big Thanks to them.
Many thanks to Kristofer and the Echopark team there! I never imagined it would be so simple to buy a used car. But Kristofer and the team took care of everything. The pleasant experience and competitive prices make Echopark stand out from other dealerships.
Renata redefined a car buying experience for us. We actually enjoyed our time here. Normally the process is akin to a dentist appointment for me. Ive been through car sales training and was happy to see none of the high pressure tactics in use here. It may be a minor detail to some but we didnt have to sign our final paperwork in a stuffy finance managers office, but out in the open area with our salesperson where we started the process. EchoPark really has found a wonderful model for purchasing a vehicle. Go see Renata you wont be disappointed. We plan to return and purchase another vehicle from her.
Always heard great things about this dealership... they did not disappoint. Johnathan helped me find what our family was looking for and the Manager Cody was very helpful making it a smooth process. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if youre shopping for your next vehicle.
What can I say that would make you want to buy a car from here? Thats an interesting question, but to answer it, youd have to know a few things about me. First of all, I dont really have a problem with the way cars are sold traditionally. I understand that people have to make money and I understand that sometimes, it gets a little bit messy. Ive bought 4 cars from traditional dealerships and never really had a problem or a nightmare scenario with a pushy salesman.Echo Park, and Kalli specifically, made me feel that no longer had to others in this way. That finally, I was understood. I didnt feel nervous at all, I felt no pressure. I felt like a person talking to another person and not someone trying their best to impress or make more money.Kalli was relatable, he was virtuous, and most of all, he was open and honest. This is a great company and I will be working with Echo Park for all of my car buying needs for the rest of my life. I love my car. Its absolutely the right move to go to Echo Park. Do it today, youll regret not having gone earlier once you finally do.
Huge thank you to Kris & the entire echo park family.Thank you so much for being incredibly generous. You really made the experience smooth and easyThank you for being so helpful and helping me find such a beautiful car. She is perfect!Cheers….to a new car!Stella Moreno
We had a great experience buying from EchoPark! The vehicles are priced clearly and fairly with no price negotiation involved. Our sales rep, Renata, walked us through each step of the buying process. She made sure we were able to finance our vehicle using our preferred lender and explained every option available to us. When the time to sign came, she explained every document thoroughly. We are very pleased with our purchase and strongly recommend this dealership!
Manny helped us when we came to explore cars. He is very nice and professional. Everyone should asked for Manny.
I went in for a test drive and 2 hrs later I walked out with the vehicle. Fast smooth transaction. Manny the sales rep was awesome.
Could not have been more pleased with this experience! We arrived with one specific truck in mind and left with one that was even better. Cliff and Cody helped us out, and I’d recommend them to anyone in the market for a car. Zero pressure, all smiles. I will definitely be back!
This place changes the game when it comes to car buying! Kurt Barker was so patient and knowledgeable through the whole process. As a first time car buyer - it was so nice to not only learn the process but not feel the pressure. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to buy a vehicle! Thank you!
Daron, Manny and the team did a great job as we looked for a vehicle for our son. The overall experience was quick and painless. EchoPark has definitely found a way to stream line the car buying process, no tricks, no hassle and full transparency made the experience simple.
The experience was great, and Cliff is a great dude. I recommend checking out their website. They have awesome cars that are still in new, but used condition. They can also beat the price of anyone around.
I bought my first car here! I had received help from Eddie, he had help me understand the car buying experience. He was really friendly, informative, and honest. I highly recommend this place. My mother is thinking about coming back to purchase another car for herself.
Kurt Barker was great! Very patient with me and my questions, and was also very informative. Wasnt pushy at all. Helped me drive off in the perfect car. The environment was very laid back and comfortable.
I cannot say enough awesome things about Ryan Hoffman and the New Braunfels Echo location. Ryan was super responsive and the whole team went out of their way to answer our questions, be honest and upfront and honor every detail of our car purchase from start to finish. It has been a long time since I could say I had a truly amazing car buying experience. I would unequivocally buy a car from Ryan and EchoPark again. Thank you Ryan & all of the NB Team!
Cody and Kristofer were awesome! We never felt pressured, and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We are very happy with the whole process. We will be back!
Easily the best and seamless process here at not only this location but all echo parks. These guys get it right. Had to bring in our van for paint correction. This location is the only one with a body shop so I had to drive a little over 30 minutes but I was out in under an hour. Quick job but done correct. I will be buying and servicing all my vehicles at echo park from now on.
Absolutely recommend this place! Ask for Clifford he’s great! He helped me find a car that fit into my budget and also helped me through out the whole paperwork process.Overall the feel of this place is rlly nice and friendly you don’t feel the pressure like other car dealerships.
Great costumer service!! I am a returning costumer, and both times have been a great experience!
We had been car shopping for months and this was by far the best experience we had anywhere. The sales rep was respectful and patient with all our questions. Was knowledgeable about the vehicles and helped us target exactly what we were looking for. Thank You Jordan. I had made this this review before but on my account that I never use. Thought it would be better to do a review from this account because it has more pull in the algorithm.
This place is absolutely amazing!!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place.They give you red carpet treatment from start to finish!! They go aboveAnd beyond to get you into a car that you are so happy with. I want to send a warm thank youTo Cliff and Sabrina for all the care and kindness that you showed us!!You guys are rock stars!! I will absolutely be sending more people your wayI want to thank you with all my heart. This wonderful treatment will never be forgotten and next time I need another car I will absolutely come to you. So if you need a newer car withWonderful service come here immediately. Thank you for everything echo Park!!!
I really enjoyed the no haggle no hassle mentality. Thanks to Ryan Hoffman and other members at EchoPark, this has been the BEST car buying experience ever! The buying process took less than an hour and was seamless. Competitive prices and great inventory.
Great experience! Cliff was so helpful and not pushy which is the best part. The manager Cody came by to check on us several times and we really appreciated that. Overall great experience buying a car, I highly recommended this place versus the traditional dealership where they are pushy and might want to hide things from you. Cliff was straightforward and just the friendliest guy!
High recommend buying here! I love their employees are salary so its less pressure. They already have the price exactly at what it is so you dont have to haggle anything like a regular dealership. They dont have additional addendums and a bunch of mess addd to price. All the extra warranties are optional. Kurt was amazing! We had a small problem with our truck and I was able to text his phone directly and he got back to me immediately. He was so great with our kids we had to be there for many hours with three kids. Also had many conversations with different employees all of the men that were dads were all very understanding. Even Rolando was amazing!! Highly recommend using this place and Kurt as your representative! We traded our brand new 1500 Laramie in for a 2500 for towing capacity. So we werent exactly excited about doing the whole dealership thing again after just buying a truck two months ago but we needed to upgrade for towing reasons.The simplicity of the way Echo Park sell the vehicle was awesome easiest process out of any vehicle weve ever bought.
I had a great experience here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had bought a car at another EchoPark location and wasn’t happy with it but found one I liked at the New Braunfels location. Sabrina and Cliff were amazing in confirming details about the car before I drove out there. It was a tricky swap but they went the extra mile. Cliff answered all my questions and kept me informed throughout the process. Sabrina made a lot of calls behind the scenes to help with the trade in. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would buy from them again.
My husband bought his truck here and had a great experience so of course we came back to purchase my vehicle! It was was easy and I didn’t feel pressured into certain vehicles and the pricing is great! You can easily find great deals here on the vehicle you need. 100% recommend and will be coming back in the future. Everyone (especially our sales rep) was friendly and worked with us well. Everything was explained thoroughly so I could understand the details as well. Great place!
I purchased a beautiful 2017 loaded Hyundai Sonata Sport for $15k with just 29k miles from EchoPark. Eric Harris was my sales rep and helped me as soon as I walked into the door. He was very patient with me, courteous, professional and had a “can-do” attitude. I told him what I needed to make a deal and he was able to deliver. I came in looking for a specific type of car and ended up leaving with one I liked better. Eric talked me through the entire process, explained how things worked at EchoPark, gave me options and let me decide what I was comfortable with. I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend EchoPark and Eric to all my family and friends. Great job!Edit: was sold the car based on being able to refinance with my own bank and they can’t seem to figure out my refund it’s been months almost a year.
Daron, one of the non-commissioned sales staff, made my shopping experience phenomenal. He went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, at the right price, while getting me a better car than I originally set out to buy. On top of that, Rolando in the parts department went above and beyond by ordering me a part for the vehicle I purchased to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the purchase. This location has earned a lifelong customer.
Corey and Renata are best sales people I have ever encountered. This is the first time purchasing a vehicle where I didn’t feel pressured. It was such a pleasant and calm environment! Such a change from what my past experiences in a typical dealership!!! Everyone RUN to Echo for your next vehicle!! You will not regret it!!
Cliff McGuire was an excellent sales person to work with. He was so helpful and upfront. Id recommend Cliff at EchoPark anytime.
Best experience I have ever had purchasing a vehicle! Fast! Easy! In and out!Peter and Cody! Definitely go with them!
Kurt Barker my Sales Rep and Cody Chapman his Manager were AMAZING to work with! This was the easiest car buying process I have ever experienced hands down!They went over and beyond and replaced two items free of charge for me that I requested. I won’t buy from another dealership ever again :)
EXCELLENT experience!! My husband and I have bought our fair share of cars and this was by far THE best experience! The sales manager, Cody, was super friendly and checked on us multiple times throughout the buying process. The finance manager, Jeremy, was great. He spoke with us several times as well ensuring everything was working out. And finally our salesman, Daron, was awesome!! He did everything on his power to ensure we left with the car we truly wanted. He was never pushy and never tried to talk us into something beyond our comfort level. Can’t recommend EchoPark enough!!!
I have purchased 2 vehicles with Echopark. They are amazing, price their vehicles well and they do not try to push you into something you really do not want. We worked with Cliff, Cody and another gentleman (sorry I cannot remember his name). They were all very polite and made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you for the great service!
We were out within 3 hours of being there. The members of staff are everything in one so you dont have to wait a long period of time for financing to get back to you. Cliff and John thank you so much for your help! Yall were beyond excellent in your work!
Had an awesome experience here at Echo Park. Our salesman Peter was very informative and attentive to all my needs as a buyer. Highly recommend, worth the stop!
We had a very pleasant experience with our sales person. She was very kind, helpful, and informative. Felt extremely welcomed and taken care of. Echo Park has always been a very great experience and I look forward to sending my friends and family to purchase from them.
I have always had the best expirence here! Just purchased my 3rd vehicle from EchoPark. This time we worked with Daron, Id highly reccommend him. He was very informative and patient with us. I had my 2 kids with me and he even helped keep them entertained while I was trying to make my decision. Its really the best place to buy a car! Ill continue to give them my business, Ive never been disappointed.
If you are in the market for a used vehicle, look no further. We were in the market for a Jeep Compass for my daughter. Echo Park had a great selection, lowest price, and best trade in value. There is no back room you go into, so no added pressure. Peter Molina was our associate, and he did an awesome job. He made the process seamless and enjoyable.
This was our first time going to EchoPark and Seth welcomed us the moment we walked in. He provided the BEST customer service Ive ever had in any car dealership. He made the experience stress free and provided all the information we needed. He genuinely wanted what was best for us and it showed. I appreciate how attentive he was and he had an answer for every question asked. I love my Jeep! Most importantly Ill always remember my experience at EchoPark. This is definitely the best place to go for your new vehicle. Ask for Seth!
Kalli was great! I mentioned before coming in that I was going to have to be in and out. He was quick and honest from the beginning. I was able to get into a Truck with no issues!Thanks Kalli!
Cliff is the man at echo park new braunfels first class business with first class employees! They were straight forward and got me into exactly what I wanted, after taking a 3 hour flight to the area they had my car fueled cleaned and ready to go right upfront. Echo park will have my business on my future car purchases
Met with Peter came in for a specific car that was sadly being bought but they turned me into the right direction with a better car and I’m extremely happy with it I’m definitely coming back and I recommend this 5/5 stars for me :)
My experience with Echo Park (New Braunfels) was excellent.Manny and Juan both provided excellent customer service.Easy and no haggling, just straight to the point.Would highly recommend checking them out!
I was disappointed by how my wife and I were greeted when we walked in the door. I approached the front counter and explained to a salesperson that I had been speaking to Kelli at that store and gotten approved for a vehicle, he said I was more than likely speaking to a call center rep. I told him I was there to purchase the Chevy Volt that I had an appointment, another sales rep said that he’d have to check to see if it was still there because someone else had been there earlier to drive the vehicle. That didn’t leave us with a good first impression. Eventually my wife and I were shuffled around until our salesperson came out to meet us. He was good, he guided us to our Volt and let us take it out for a spin. When we were done he went over the options for the warranty. He pressured us a bit to take the warranty since we were buying an electric hybrid vehicle and warned us about the maintenance and repair that would come with owning such a vehicle, which honestly gave me some concern about buying it since he was making it seem like the car wouldn’t be reliable. When we declined, he pushed us to take the warranty if he could reduce the cost and seemed to guilt us over declining. This is where he lost our trust and gave us a bad impression. I understood the risk of declining a warranty and I would have appreciated him backing off once I told him “no” the first time. Once I told him no thanks about three times, he grabbed the keys from the desk swiftly, I’m guessing out of frustration, which I also didn’t appreciate. The process from that point dragged on for more time than we were told initially. He said it would take 45 min until we were done but it ended up taking over an hour. He was gone for quite a while, only checking in with us sparingly. Another salesperson came out to meet us and tried selling the gap insurance, which was fine. When I told him no, he swiftly acknowledged it and thanked us for our time, which was appreciated. Eventually we were given the papers to sign and we were on our way. My first experience with Echo Park in San Antonio was much better and they treated us with much more appreciation for our time and business. The New Braunfels location didn’t live up to our expectations unfortunately. I would still recommend Echo Park but not this New Braunfels location. 3 out of 5 stars.
We recently purchased a vehicle from EchoPark (New Braunfels) and this was the best car buying experience. We were still indecisive on what type of vehicle to purchase. Clifford Cliff McGuire was our sales guy and he was amazing. He was patient with us and took the time to listen to what we were looking for. After hours of looking through the lot and test driving, we found our car. I highly recommend EchoPark and Cliff.Bryan and Lindsey Neskora
Easiest and quickest car purchase ever and got a great price. I appreciate that Echo Park did not take up my whole day to purchase a car. Peter was super helpful . I enjoyed the no pressure no haggle purchase. We will be back
The experience here was excellent and very easy to work with. Cody Chapman the experience manager was very pleasant and made sure our experience was going forward smoothly the entire process, which it did because of our experience guide Peter Molina. If your look to buy a nice quality used vehicle I 10/10 definitely recommend Echo Park in New Braunfels
Seth Hidalgo was the best! This was the easiest vehicle purchase I have ever made. I feel Seth went above and beyond and just made it so easy. I have already recommended him and Echo Park. If I ever need another vehicle purchase, you will have a repeat customer in me. Thank you so much for your efforts and amazing service! I love my car too!
Great experience. Convenient. Sales agent was great, informative, knowledgeable, not pushy. Dealership was clean and nice. Very smooth car buying experience
AMAZING! SUPERB!! OUTSTANDING!! DEDICATED! ALL ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!! These are just a few words that describe Echo Park. When I thought all hopes of me getting into a car were gone Echo Park with the help of Lee Reynolds, Daron Esquivel and Ryan Winfield quickly turn that hope around. These men put in work all day long to get me a great deal that met all expectations I was looking for. There dedicated efforts to get customers into a vehicle is far more above any other dealerships!!! They keep in contact with you throughout the entire process updating you on where they are at what they are trying to do just to get you a great deal. Not only did they make a huge impact in the car buying experience they made a HUGE IMPACT in my life!!!! Totally life changing experience!! Each are truly a BLESSING!!! I will never go to any other dealership in my future Echo Park is the place to go. I have highly recommended them to all of my friends and family members and even strangers! I want everyone to know how great Echo Park is!!!! Thank you to all of you who have helped me in this journey to a better car better life better situation!! You guys are the true ROCKSTARS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Great experience overall and our sales associate, Ryan Hoffman was an immense help. Would buy from Echo Park again.
Kurt was great, whole experience was great. Showed us exactly what we asked for, was in and out fast. Definitely recommend buying from EchoPark in New Braunfels. Ask for Kurt.
Sabrina and Seth were amazing! They made my shopping experience very simple and effortless. They were very welcoming, informative, and I don’t have a single complaint. This was the best experience I have ever had shopping for a car. I highly recommend them!
Worked with Jorge and Daron. Great experience, friendly team and they worked hard to make the deal work. Would definitely buy from them again.
Kurt was great. Patient and kind. Explained how your system works and made sure we understood. Got me the vehicle I wanted at the price and interest rate we could live with. And the monthly note I could afford. He Stafanie and your staff were great.
This was the best experience Ive had in a dealership setting. Kurt was our consultant and he did his job to the fullest. He never made us feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. We told him what we wanted and he got us there and then some. I highly recommend purchasing from echo Park. And if you can, please talk with Kurt. Thanks again guys.
What a waste of space. Theyre trying to take the Carvana business model but they execute it poorly. Made the drive from out of town to see a vehicle they listed as a Lariat. 1FTEW1EP7KKD70353. Great price I thought. Only its not a Lariat. Based out options. Not sure if they know this and use it as a tactic to get people in the door, or are just incompetent at trimming out their vehicles. Theyre true to their word on their advertising. Great quality if you lower your expectations on what quality actually means.
Purchased a car today from Ryan he was amazing! Made it so easy and actually enjoyable definitely not your usual experience with purchasing a car! I will definitely go back for my next purchase!!!
Pretty smooth buying experience. Shout out to my sales man Peter Molina, he was very helpful and thoroughly explained everything.👍🏼
I called ahead of time and made an appointment for a trade in. I had some complications with my pre-approval but they actually offered to check financing options with their lenders and it actually worked out better!Renata was awesome and kind and so helpful. Nicole and Jeremy were super kind and helpful. Id definitely recommend!
This was a stellar experience from beginning to end. My daughter wanted to trade in her vehicle for one with lower mileage. She found the exact car she wanted and called to see if it was available. When we arrived it was parked out front and Cliff greeted us immediately. She wanted to get a certain amount for her trade which she did and financed the remainder with one of Echo Parks lenders. While they do not allow outside financing (which we were prepared with when we arrived), their financing was easy. The whole experience from test drive through purchase was about 2 hours, which was fantastic. I would highly recommend Echo Park and Cliff for a fantastic buying experience!!
Peter, and Cody made the car buying experience EXTREMELY easy! I got everything I needed in a timely manner with absolutely zero hassles. During the small time I did have to wait I was given food, a comfy chair and some tv to watch! Thanks for the great experience guys!
They will not finance through a credit union only their large bank trusted partners. I called ahead to confirm the vehicle was available, discussed the price, set up an appointment, and drove from Houston to purchase a vehicle. Only then, once I was in the door did they tell me that they will not take outside financing. They wont care if they lose your business, because they dont need it and will make sure you know that.Upon checking their website to see if the prohibitive policy on financing was posted anywhere the only available information was Why do 80% of guests choose to finance through EchoPark? Its because our guests save an average of $700 - and because it only takes about 10 minutes to get your exact financing terms. No where does it say they will not take outside financing, only that its better.If the customer rep responds to this message dont even bother trying to strive for 100% you wont take outside financing and you wont change that policy so why bother even responding.TLDR: no outside financing and they wont tell you that until you walk in the door and will happily turn you away
Simply put this was by far out of 22 years of buying cars, the simplest and most straight forward process Ive ever witnessed. Ive purchased cars from some really big dealers and these guys put them to shame. My 18 years old was able to finance a vehicle with a competitive rate, all on her own. Darren took care of her and then a week later, he took care of her older sister by helping her into a car. My 2020 graduate was grinning ear to ear and said she didnt feel intimidated throughout any of the process....10 🌟 s fellas
In the quest of buying my very first car and after looking at some car companies, me and my sister decided to check EchoPark! I am really glad we ended up checking this company. As a first-time buyer I had a lot of questions, but Eric, an Experience Guide employee at EchoPark was very patient and he answered all my questions. Eric helped me find “the one” and helped me through the whole process. Cody, the company manager checked on both me and my sister during the process and I am extremely satisfied with the professionalism that this company carries!EchoPark would be from now on the company I will definitely recommend to any of my family members or friends if they’re looking for a car. Per their motto, “every car deserves a happy owner,” I am gladly to say I am now a beyond happy owner.Thank you Eric and Cody and the whole EchoPark Team!
Where do I start? First of all- the price. I was in the market for a CR-V to accommodate my growing family having welcomed a little boy in September. My tiny sporty sedan wasn’t cutting it anymore. I used the ‘Cars’ app and an EchoPark CR-V was one of the top results. The price was way below market value for the year and mileage. I thought for sure this couldn’t be true. It was a short drive for me so I figured it couldn’t hurt to take a look. I called the dealership after hours and was greeted by a sweet representative who booked an appointment for me the next day. As soon as I arrived I was helped by a friendly consultant named Eric. The CR-V was quickly brought up and I was able to give it a test drive. Love at first sight! I was ready to trade in my car and get my new ride :) . The entire process was seamless. After my trade-in was completed only a small balance remained on the new car (about $2,000). Eric warned me upfront that a financing company may not be willing to finance such a small amount but he would do whatever he could to make it work. Luckily, we got 1 lender to finance the balance at a very high interest rate which was unusual given our exceptional credit score. The only downside to this experience was the “no outside financing” rule which we imagine is part of the reason Echo Park can sell their cars so cheap (partnerships with their in house financiers). Two weeks after leaving with my new car a latch broke on the trunk. I took it to Honda and they quoted me $225 to get it fixed. I called EchoPark to see if I had options. Without a hesitation the gentleman I spoke to said “absolutely, let’s get that fixed for you” and covered the expenses to have the trunk hatch replaced. I was shocked at their kindness and genuine care for my satisfaction with the car they sold me. If I could give this dealership 10 stars I would. From being greeted at the door to weeks after purchase, this has been an A+ experience. I have never written such a longwinded review of any business but I was trulyblown away. We are and will forever be a customer of EchoPark. P.S- the Honda dealership did a 32 point inspection on my car and said “Congratulations- This is a perfect car in wonderful condition”. I’m so happy
Johnathan is top notch! From start to finish. Appreciate you
Kurt Barker was phenomenal! Not only was he knowledgeable about the vehicles, he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! Fantastic job Mr. Barker!
Pros: Organization seems to work better off of appointments. I would recommend appointments since they sanitize and pull the cars up so they ready for immediate viewing and driving. We were in and out in 45 minutes to get to our next appointment. I like that we were able to test drive without a salesperson. We ended up purchasing with EchoPark and it was probably the easiest and fastest transaction Ive ever had. Loved it since it was late and I was ready to get home.Cons: Car was given to us with less than a half a tank which was disappointing since I had to drive it 2.5 hours home. I realized this after I had left the lot. They said it would be filled. If you are paying cash, they only take literal cash (who carries that much), debit card or cashiers check. I bank online exclusively so I had to do debit which is fine except that I had planned on using my credit card to earn points. A 12k purchase gives you a lot of points. I think this policy needs to be changed and credit card fees need to be absorbed - its a fact of life and what they did to save a buck inconvenienced their customer. If you finance, you can only finance through them. If I had been financing, I would have looked elsewhere since my bank had some of the lowest rates in the industry and I wouldnt have had the choice. So bottom line, what I didnt like is the limitation in payment options.
Attention All Potential Customers:I had the most amazing car buying experience @ Echopark Automotive, located in New Braunfels, Texas. From the very first day that I visited this location I was fortunate enough to be helped by a young man named Ryan Hoffman. He demonstrated friendliness, professionalism and most important patience! I had delays of my very own, but he went above and beyond to assist me and maintainrd patience throughout the process. He aimed to please, and pleased I am! I am not surprised because the whole entire staff was very friendly making sure my experience was a pleasant one!!! Ryan is a primary example of what a Car Salesman (Experience Guide) should be! The goal is to by a car, but rarely do you leave feeling like you’ve acquired a friend! There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s doing exactly what he should be doing! I live in San Antonio and we have a local EchoPark. But I will get in my car and drive to New Braunfels to be helped by him any day. The vehicle of my choice is how I found him, but he is what kept me!!! Great Job Ryan and Blessings always ❤️Hugs,Gina.
March 5th 2021, went to buy a new vehicle, specifically one with a 3rd row due to have 3 kids in car seats/ boosters. Purchased a vehicle. March 19th went to a car wash and had water leak from the windshield into the car, so called the dealership the 22nd (Monday) to let them know my two week old car had an issue. They don’t answer (the next week will realize they never answer the phone) left a voicemail, they call back tell me they will take care of it if I can bring the vehicle in on the 24th. Sounds like a good deal, take an afternoon off work to take the vehicle in was told car should be done in a day or two max. I was then told could not give me a 3rd row seat vehicle as a loaner (it’s ok it’s only going to be a day or two). Monday 29th I called no one answers, leave a voicemail wondering about my vehicle. No response Tuesday the 30th call again, no answer, leave another voicemail. Wednesday 31st call again no answer so my fiancé goes up there in person because they can’t answer the phone or call you back, found out then they ordered a windshield it came in cracked and ordered another one. They never reached out to explain or answer why it’s taking 3 times longer to do the repair than initially told. So my fiancé is told give them 30 minutes so they can give her a 3rd row vehicle, 1.5 later he hasn’t responded (Carlos the service manager) so she calls the 3 phone numbers he gave her, surprise here he doesn’t answer any of those. Here we are week 3 of owning a vehicle that they have had for 1/3rd of the time. Place is nice, salesman was great but I highly recommend avoiding this place due to customer service in the service department. Will update if and when I ever receive my vehicle back.Update 1Loaner was supposed to be ready upon arrival, loaded car seats in car to get in and FOB battery is dying so loaner wouldn’t start unload kids and wait an additional 25 minutes. Entire process of dealing with anything from service department seems to get worse the further we go.Update 2April 1st recieved voicemail car was ready and was told they just found out the first windshield came in broken that was cause for the delay. If you look in the first part of the review they told me that the day before when i went in person so again I was lied to by service department. They are full of excuses and covering up when simple communication is all that was needed to avoid all of this.Update 34/5/21 Was contacted via text message asking my experience with the vehicle when responded with my displeasure Jordan left message on Read (iphone to iphone can tell if message has been opened) yet another example of the lack of communication from echopark. They will do nothing if you are displeased except continue to ignore
I found just the car I wanted online at Echo Park Automotive, I scheduled an appointment to drive it the next day. The customer service was exceptional, all of my questions were answered. Peter Molina was the associate that helped me through the process of purchasing my vehicle at EchoPark. He was very professional!
Sold me a dirty car - didn’t look like the inside was cleaned at all. I talked to someone about a week later and they asked me to come back and said they’d clean the inside and out, I drove all the way back from Austin only for them to run it through the car wash and give it back to me. Didn’t do anything on the inside at all. Pics below, very dusty and not what you want when you purchase a new car (even if it is pre owned!)Purchasing was easy and fast, people were polite.
Went to sell my truck to them. I was out in less than 2 hours with a check in hand. Excellent staff and customer service. Would recommend to anyone
Not your everyday car dealership! I love this Echo’s business model. It was fast and easy. They have raised the bar! Thank you Kurt and Sabrina for making my car buying experience a fun one. If Echo has the car you’re looking for go get it!!
Ryan H. is awesome and we couldn’t ask to work with a better salesman! I’ll be referring him to my whole family on future purchases!
Great customer service!! Easy and fast process! Thank you Cliff! Super friendly and fun associate.
Samuel Garcia did a awesome job he was able to get me exactly what I needed and a very very low price. Awesome customer service. Will indeed be back again thank you for all you do Mr.Garcia.
Nice, very helpful service. Not pushy at all! Experience guide, Daron Esquivel, was very patient and helpful. Buying process was not overwhelming at all. We are happy with the new truck 👍
Really relaxed and laid back car dealership. The hospitality was great. Always ask for Cody or Eddie, they both do a excellent job.
Jorge was absolutely amazing!! Worked with our schedule and had us in and out! Thank youuuuu.
Thank you, Manny, for helping us find a safe and reliable family vehicle. Highly recommend Echo Park to anyone looking for a great experience when buying a car. No hassles, just a great experience all together.
Ive bought many cars in my life and this was without question the easiest and most pleasant experience to date. Renata was professional, courteous, patient and fantastic to work with on the purchase of our truck. The next time I need a car this will be the first and last place I look. Absolutely perfect!
Peter Molina and Cody Chapman were very helpful and got me what I needed.
The service was great. The atmosphere is very laid back and low stress. Peter and Cody were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
Our salesman Kurt Barker was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great inventory and no pressure. Will be buying again from EchoPark.
