I’m a nurse in SWFL and was looking to purchase a Jeep Cherokee. I had been searching for a while in all parts of Florida and wasn’t having much luck finding a new Jeep for a fair price, until I came across Douglas. Let me start by saying the salesman and staff are top notch. They were patient, beyond helpful, kind and all around genuine folks. I’m so used to being hounded by salesman that don’t care to give you a good deal and just want your money. The staff at Douglas helped me to find my dream Jeep and they gave it to me at the best price I could find in all of Florida. I give this dealership a 5 star rating and encourage anyone looking for an amazing car buying experience to make the drive to Venice to see their dealership and work with their salesman!

I just purchased a 2018 Dodge Challenger. I went from a 2016 Jeep Renegade to this. What a fantastic car!! The salesman showed me everything. This was a great no pressure buy. Everyone worked with me on the price. I couldn't be happier! Thank you Peter McIvers!!

Stopped in w/o an appointment, to see if they could least diagnose the problem with my Jeep's soft top. I'd stored it, unused, for 4 years & haven't been able to put it back on. Looks like frame is damaged from storing & moving it. I had the roof tied up in the back seat & trunk area (doesn't really HAVE a trunk) since it was the only way I could take it there. Travis from service came out, took a quick look and listened carefully to my problem. He said they would have to try to put the top on the Jeep to see what might be wrong and said I'd have to make an appointment for that since it's rather time consuming. I really can't make an appointment because, with no top, I'm dependent on the weather report for the day. I asked what a new top would cost. He didn't know, so he sent me in to Parts, where Zachary assisted me. Since the whole top would be quite expensive, I asked if he could tell me how much the bigger sections of the frame would cost. He showed me a diagram of the frame all taken apart & looked up the parts I selected. I chose them because one of them is definitely bowed & the other part seems it's not functioning correctly. The price of those parts alone was quite expensive & that didn't include labor. When I told him I had not had the top on for 2 years, he said it's possible the fabric just needs to be stretched & he explained how to do it. He also suggested the option of finding a used one & told me there are Facebook pages specifically for Jeeps where people sell all kinds of red parts. He was extremely patient with me. On my way out, Travis asked me what I found out about the price. With my permission, he had moved my Jeep out of the service line & parked it in such a way that I could drive straight out, since backing up with the top in the back would be difficult due to limited visibility. He could not have been more courteous & helpful. I've had recent experience with at least 2 other guys in Parts recently. Both were extremely helpful. I only got Mike's name though.

I bought a Chrysler Town & Country from the used car department at Douglass Jeep last Friday. Not only I but also my father were told the van was in perfect condition with no issues and had been went over top to bottom and found nothing wrong. I talked to them about needing a new family car as I have 3 children(my youngest, 4 was with me) they told me this would be very reliable and dependable. However a week later while driving down the highway the van would not switch gears, lights flashed and the windows were running slow. The vehicle then died and would not start even with a jump. This seemed odd since the battery in it appeared brand new. We had it towed to them thinking they would fix this or at least help. They didn’t even look at the car until the next night, didn’t answer our phone calls and finally called back in the evening to say it was the alternator. They have told me they will not pay for it, nor help with the cost. I am disgusted that they would not help in any way with this and probably knowingly put my family in a vehicle with issues. My personal mechanic is now towing it from their store to work on it, as I will not allow them to do anything else to the vehicle.

I strongly advise not using this dealership for service. I went to this dealership this morning since I purchased my vehicle there this year. I simply wanted to have my oil changed and tires rotated. I was first in line and arrived at 7 am. After about an hour I walked outside expecting to see them finishing up and there were 2, yes 2 lube technicians working on my truck and they were trying to take the wheels off without removing the wheel covers. One had a severely cut hand wrapped in electrical tape. Finally a mechanic walked over and whispered into ones’ ear they needed to remove the plastic wheel covers. After they did this I walked back inside. After another 45 minutes I walked back outside to see them trying to remove my oil filter with a mallet and chisel. By now there were 2 lube techs, a mechanic and the two service managers at my truck. They then informed me that one of my wheel covers was cracked. I was astonished since I detail my truck every weekend, but I try to trust people. So even though I was suspicious I believed them. After another 30 minutes they could not get the oil filter off and told me to go to the Toyota dealership up the street since they did not have the right tools. So after 3 hours, I drove up Highway 41 to Cramer Toyota. They put my truck on the rack and informed me that all four wheel covers were cracked in multiple places and they must have rotated the oil filter the wrong way because it was extremely over-tightened. I have to go back Monday to talk with the Manager about the four damaged wheel covers (I don’t expect any help considering what I experienced today) and I fully intend on reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. Anyone considering using this dealership be warned!!!! By the way, after waiting 3 hours, only one other customer showed up for body work. So despite what you may think, others must have experienced similar terrible service judging by the lack of customers. The Toyota dealership was packed.

I worked with Craig. He is a great sales guy. That is why we have bought almost every car from him. I like working with him and as long as there is a car I want he will be the guy I use.

Pete M and Craig N are great people to work with. They listen and are not pushy. Worked with Craig this time (4th vehicle purchased at this dealership). He listened to what I was looking for and found my vehicle in 15 minutes. Am very very happy with my Jeep Compass. Thanks guys.

My wife and I were absolutely floored by the Douglas dealership, especially our salesman, Mr Craig N who we would rather call an "expert", as he made it his priority to understand our needs and concerns, to put himself in our shoes, and had a limitless knowledge of all vehicles. We felt like we were with family. When we return, it will be like going home.

First time purchasing a Jeep and really didn't know much about them. Craig N was the salesman who met us, no pressures just good information. Followed up with us and was able to get us just what we wanted.

Wrangler Purchase I specifically purchased a new Jeep Wrangler from Douglas due to my trust in Craig N and my previous excellent experiences with both Craig, as well as the Service Department. Over the years, I've been extraordinarily impressed with the prompt, reasonably priced and technically satisfactory service provided by Don G and his mechanics. In my opinion, you don't purchase a new car for the price, you purchase it because you have trust and confidence in the dealership.

Craig N. was our sales representative and he made the overall process of selecting and buying a new Dodge very easy and virtually stress free. He was concerned about our needs and listened carefully to what we wanted in our new vehicle. We had some specific wants so he searched the national registry to find a vehicle to match them. When it became obvious that there were no vehicles that would be a perfect fit for us, he suggested ordering a vehicle from the factory. He guided us through the entire process and explained just what we should expect every step of the way. His guidance paid off and our new vehicle is just what we need. Additionally, Craig knows his product line extremely well and made numerous suggestions during the selection process. At delivery, he spent as much time as WE needed to help us become comfortable with our new SUV and to answer any questions we had. Also, he helped with some issues the following day and made time to help. Rest assured, I will deal with Craig again if ever I need to purchase a new Dodge. He appears to me to be a very easy going, low pressure individual which translates to the customer that they can relax and accomplish what they came in to do, find a new vehicle. Thank you Craig.

Just got my new 2014 Challenger R/T and I am in love. This is my 4th vehicle purchase from Douglas Jeep and all were sold to me by Craig N. I have not bought a new car since 2004, and remembering the good experience I had then I sought out Craig to handle getting my new Challenger. I was treated like I was important to them and felt like a friend by the end of the experience. Craig took the time to show me all the bells and whistles of my new car and how they worked and even gave me a tour of the facility and introduced me to other staff members I may meet in the future such as the service manager and his team. Thanks Craig

Came in to have my trade-in evaluated, wasn't too hopeful that we would agree on terms. Was very happy to get an "offer I couldn't refuse." Love my "newer" Caliber, except for the leaky tire - Service dept. is rectifying the situation.
