Anna Lee was just absolutely amazing. She was very nice and down to earth. She was easy to talk too and made this process so easy. She did not try to push any vehicle on me. I got to pick out what I wanted and loved. I was there for an hour and a half. The whole process was just great. Now I am driving off in a brand new car. I would definitely recommend using Anna Lee for your car needs be side she definitely works above the line and you will get what you need and want working with her.

Mark is so amazing!! I left Ole Ben Franklin and went to American Car Center. Mark was very nice and upfront about everything. He didnt try to push me into any car, he listened to my needs and wants and placed us in our dream car. I highly recommend anyone to get their car, van, or truck from them.

Thanks to Anna and James we were able to get a great vehicle and help restore our credit. Im extremely greatful for everything. Even though it took us all day to decide on a car they were really patient with us and did everything they could to make sure we got it. They really go out of their way to make you feel like family.

I was skeptical about being approved because of my credit challenges. I wasted so many endless searches and my time at other places just to get ripped off in the end. I wish I would have started with American Car Center first. Anna was my sales person and she made the process so painless and fun !! The entire staff treated us like family and kept my children entertained so I could shop. I had the honor to meet Mr. Brown and walked away with a very low mile 2017 with a warranty and oil changes!! A big thank you to the entire staff for making this day painless and getting me into a wonderful vehicle that I actually wanted (without breaking the bank) . I will continue to do business here and highly recommend American Car Center of Knoxville !!!

Anna Lee was amazing with helping me and my dad find the best car on the lot for us, and starting with down-payments of 500 on top of the 3 years of oil changes and warranty protection for 36000 miles for both transmission and motor issues. its more than worth taking the time to go see if they have a car you like! Every car there is a new model and low miles with a surprisingly easy process discussing payments and all the important information then youre out with your new car same day.

This is southern hospitality at its finest! Trent went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend American Car Center. If you stop by, ask for Trent. He not only sells cars, but he sells some amazing smelling soy candles!

Very nice staff! But prices to high! And when my daughter needed her drivers plate it took 6 months to get it! Never have i heard of that! I bought many cars and i got my plate within 1 week!

Review №11

I purchased a vehicle, a week later the transmission was going, I called and James brown said just keep driving until we figure it out don’t worry, a week later the transmission goes, I tow the car to his shop, he then says we’ll figure out if this is gonna be repo and if we will give your money back, I’m not almost two months into this battle no money and fighting a repossession on my credit, he did business illegally, fraudently changed my ID to a drivers license and now they are completely screwing me over, they lock me out, ignore my calls, and lie to me every time I get through off other phones cause they don’t know it’s me . So DO NOT EVER go here . They are sick people

From start to finish Anna Lee was absolutely informative, and told me the whole process from top to bottom, there were no surprises. Anna Lee and the finance department worked hard and got me a guaranteed approval. I had been turned down by 3 different car lots but American Car Center got me approved with out any hesitation. I got the car I wanted with low miles and a warranty. My credit was bad but they said yes.

Review №21

DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE. sales person definitely took advantage of my fiancé’s lack of knowledge when it comes to car buying. they sold him a 6 year old chevy cruze with 90k miles on it for $25,000 or $250 payments every two weeks. i’m not sure what they smoke over there but it must be crack because that is ridiculously over priced for an older car.

Review №25

The new manager just put my payment in the drawer instead putting it on the computer so I get a receipt. One car had a flat tire. The sale Associate and the manager standing outside in the back instead of working and making sales. Once I get my car paid I will NEVER get another vehicle from American Car Center. Nor will I recommend my family and friends to get a car from them.

Review №41

They have a great lease to own option that is kinda like rent to own. Their down payments start at $500 I was approved for just $750 down. I make 47 payments and then at the end ofthe lease (rent) i will owe $1860 to own it. and that money is not due all at one time. I can make payments on the $1860. If i had known that it would be this simple and easy to get a car then i would have got a car from them sooner. They were so nice and made it easy. I just needed my license my id and a recent bill and that was it.

Review №47

They get you to come in with a giant billboard and tv advertisements about getting a car with $500 down, but then you get in their and they want $1750 down for a basic car, and even higher if you want something nicer. I understand not having credit, but if you have almost $2k to put down, you can go to a normal car lot and get a vehicle financed through a bank.

I had a wonderful experience at American Car Center.. James and Marcus were both awesome.. Marcus was a very friendly and patient.. He didn’t treat me as if I was just another person.. James is truly passionate about what he does.. He is knowledgeable about what he does.. When everyone else said NO!!! They were able to say yes!! They both were truly a blessing..

I have been looking for a car since the beginning of Covid-19. I decided to look at American Care Center because they are close to my employment . My experience there was better the most well know car dealerships locally. They answered every question and helped me with every aspect from choosing the right car to paperwork. I would highly recommend American Car Center. A special thanks to James and Lynn.

Review №58

They advertise $500 down and tell you a vehicle u like is in the $500 range and when its time to talk to the finance manager its not 500 down they want MORE money down... I or let me say THEY wasted 3 hours of my time after telling me that 500 down will get me in a car today and that didnt happen! Worse experience at a new or used car lot ever! I will not be recommending them to anyone i know unless your the type who like lies and false hopes. I do home healthcare and need a vehicle to get to my clients house and they wasted more of my time today than i care to admit!

Was referred to this car lot by a co-worker that bragged about the service. My friend was in need of a car and we came to check it out and as they say the king of credit is in the building!!!! He made it happen with southern hospitality. My friend is about to pull off in her new ride. I highly recommend this car lot. Great people. My Lynn was our sales lady and she is very friendly and warm welcoming. Five star!

Review №62

Buy a car here at your own risk. The ultimate buying experience at the beginning was pretty easy and nice. I haven’t had one issue with my car. But once your locked in the process of paying payments to own the car...and the actual company is horrific. I am literally counting down the days until I can pay my car off and be done with this company. They are unprofessional, rude and unorganized. It take me 3 or 4 phone calls to get someone on the line to make payments. I asked how much I owe on the car and they tell me it’s going to take them 24 to 48 hours for that information. So now I’m paying for something and can’t even get an answer on how much I owe. It’s quite ridiculous. I will never purchase another car here or suggest to anyone that you purchase a car from here. It’s not worth the hassle and stress.

I was so skeptical after being treated like a second class customer because other car lots especially geared to less than perfect credit or what most of us call real life living one paycheck to the next but Mark Frye and James Brown were real people that truly worked so hard to make sure that we walked away with what we needed and wanted no one told us what we had to buy we drove off in a vehicle that we never thought would happen! They honored their word and kept us at the lowest down payment around and didn’t pressure us, they stayed late on Saturday and even fed us dinner, couldn’t say enough good things about this experience buying a car from here was like going home for a Saturday cookout wish I could give them more stars!
