My son and I went in to make his first purchase! Such an awesome experience working with Gary Thorne- sales consultant! He mad this experience well worth it... However the finance department representative had no respect for our time even after her knowledge that we had other obligated appointments already scheduled. We had to sit and wait on her prior to and during the signing was an awful long drawn out experience! Please go and see Gary!!

Bought a new Toyota (technically used from another dealership) almost 6 months ago and brought it in for its first maintenance (5k). Made the appt online and entered all my info and VIN, but I guess since HT was the original seller, they still had all the other guy's info. So had to provide all that info again. They asked if I also wanted a software update so I said sure. Didn't mention if it would take any longer so I assumed it would not. I had budgeted 1.5 hours for the tire rotation and light multi-point inspection which is the 5k check-up. It ended up taking well over 2 hours with no explanation. Other people had come and gone. (For comparison: Spouse took our other vehicle to a club warehouse for rotate and balance that night with no appt and only 2 guys working and it took less time.) Friend who bought from HT last year also mentioned that service is taking way longer than it used to. There seems to be a lot of people front-of-house in the service department, so I guess maybe they're still taking in the same volume and there's short staffing in the back? I know now that I'll need to drop it off the night before and plan on leaving it most or all-day for future scheduled maintenance appointments. I do appreciate the courtesy coffee and water, though.

Charged me 8.00 for a oil filter that on their website is 4.28. Should have just purchased online instead of trying to support a local business.

Used 2018 4runner SOLD!!!

Trey was awesome! We truly enjoyed our visit here and honestly, he was so down to earth, very…read morehelpful and kind. He was able to really speak to us about both my needs and my partner's needs. He understood the assignment when I told him I'm a Mustang girly and my partner is certainly a Chevy Camaro man. He helped us with a lot of valuable information. Next time I'm in the market to buy a car, he's definitely going to be who we go see. Not only was he very informative and naturally a fun guy to be around, he also made sure to be candid with us and make sure we looked at what would be the best for us and our family.

I've been doing business with Hendrick Chevrolet Hoover for several years now, and at this point…read morethey might as well put my name on a parking spot. I bought a truck here in December of 2020 and came back again in 2025 for a Corvette--because apparently I make excellent financial decisions when I walk through their doors. But the real reason I keep coming back is the service department. Every bit of maintenance on my vehicles has been done here, and they've never given me a reason to even think about going somewhere else. The folks in the back always treat me right--professional, friendly, and they don't make me feel like I need to bring a sleeping bag while I wait. Quick, prompt service every time. People ask me all the time why I don't just get my vehicles serviced locally, like at Tuscaloosa Chevrolet. I tell them the same thing: I like knowing when I show up, I actually have a spot and a plan. Being able to schedule an appointment beats rolling the dice with drive-up service and hoping for the best. And I'd be leaving out an important detail if I didn't mention the handheld donuts and coffee--they're a nice touch to help feed the fatty cells and wake up some sleepy eyes. Truth be told, I don't even wander too close to that area anymore... those donuts are just a little too tempting. At the end of the day, I've never had a bad experience here--and when something works this well, I'm not about to "fix" it by going somewhere else. As long as I'm driving vehicles I bought here, they'll be the ones taking care of them.

First let me say i will NEVER BUY A CAR FROM ANYONE ELSE, NEVER HAVE SERVICE DONE ANYWHERE ELSE as…read morelong as Eric in Service and Bill Kimbrough as Gen. Mgr are at this Dealership!! I currently have a 2016 Outback 3.6R. I've waited a week, hoping it would lessen my "gush" about this incident, it hasn't. To The Holy Trinity and their Vessel, Eric in Service I am overwhelmingly greatful!! And Mr. Kimbrough who just warms your heart with such helpful and sincere kindness. And having had over 20 vehicles in my life time, my opinion here comes from much experience. On Sat. afternoon about 3 PM, my daughter and I went out to the parking lot at Target in The Grove to load the car w groceries. I attempted to start the car, it only clicked. I turned evrything off and tried again..nothing. For the next 45 min, I stopped other shoppers looking for jumper cables. A lady had some and we tried to start it w her car, then a pick up and kept working w it til everyone gave up. I remembered that I had Starlink so I called them. They would send a Tow truck to take us to Hendrick. But now it was 4 PM and we didn't know if the Tow would get us there before they closed. I called Hendrick and Receptionist could not reach Service, but knowing my situation, she assured she would make sure someone called me back. Meanwhile, I started calling around to anyone who might have a battery and NO ONE had one that would work. I called back to Hendrick and got Eric. He would check to see if they had a battery and call me back. In the meanwhile, the Tow Co texted back to say it would be "190 minutes" to get there! The Dealership would be closed, it would be dark and COLD. Although I know how to replace a battery and had tools, I wondered if I could handled the batteries with an injured hand. Then to make matters worse again, the Tow Co. called back to say they could only carry one person in the truck, meaning I would have to leave my daughter, with special medical issues either in the car or in Target (not healthy for her). And what if it wasn't just the battery (the previous helpers had many other concerning ideas)? How could I get back from the Dealership? What if I couldn't get back before Target closed and they would leave her outside alone!!! And even if I did get back, we would be stranded in the cold parking lot all night and temps were supposed to fall into low 40s, if not high 30s. I was beginnig to panic when Eric called back to say he had a battery and where he would leave it out. I had to interrupt him to explain about leaving my daughter and ask if he could find someone to drop it by to us at Target. It was 5 PM and people were leaving but he said he would try to find someone and call me back. The sun that was keeping the car warm was going down behind the trees. I live 30+ miles away and there was no one to come out on this cold late evening to get us. The Tow truck arrived, the Driver did jump off the car but warned us that with the weak battery, it might stop again on the road and we would be stranded again. I turned away from the Driver and looked up, Praying with all my might. He (God) knew exactly what was going on, He knew the consequences on my daughter if this did not get better soon. The words came "I will never leave you or forsake you"....I was holding on to that with allll my might. I called the Dealership and no answer so I thought they might have left as usual and forgot. I was barely "hanging on" when I caught a glimpse of a smiling face in a pickup truck window! I get overwhelmed even now as I remember that face!! Backup Knight in Shining Armor...ERIC HAD ARRIVED...JUST AWESOME!!!!! He had a battery, put it in in seconds. I touched the Start button and ALL WAS WELL...Seriously and profoundly, this young man will never NEVER KNOW HOW GRATEFUL FOR AND IN AWE OF HIM we are. And knowing how kind he has been in the past, his heart was surely open to God using him as The Vessel to rescue these Damsels in Destress. So I am not sorry for gushing about this, it was just TOOOO AWESOME!!! On Monday I went in to express my appreciation to Mr Kimbrough and that he had such a special special person working for him. He was sooo kind he almost made me cry. These are reallllly great, kind and genuine Christ-like people...they are my Forever Car Company

I've taken my car here a few times. Came in here to have my car checked over last year and was told…read morethey don't do that. Ok... Last week we had an issue with the steering wheel shaking while braking. I was told by the service manager that I need to replace all four struts to the tune of $4,000. I had to laugh. 4 grand! Afterwards I watched the video he sent which was the guy standing next to the car trying to show how it rocked when he pushed on it. lol. Shouldn't he be under it showing me the bad struts? That cost me $239. I took the car to my friend's mechanic and he told me the rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. Struts were fine. Less than 400$. Problem solved. Car drives great. I will not be getting my Subaru serviced here any more.

The entire process was smooth, professional, and truly enjoyable. The team went above and beyond to find exactly what I was looking for, and when it wasn't readily available they had it delivered. That level of dedication stands out. I couldn't be more pleased with my new vehicle and the overall experience. I highly recommend Michael Slaughter at Long Lewis of Hoover to anyone looking for a hassle free and a no pressure car buying experience

I came to the dealership to look at a particular car that had just been traded in. I was assigned…read moresalesman Rob Hurt, and he was incredibly helpful and patient as I explored not only that vehicle but several others on the lot. Before leaving that first visit, I test drove a vehicle that I really liked. Rob explained that I could place a $300 refundable deposit to hold the car while I finalized the insurance and financing details related to my totaled vehicle. Since the deposit was refundable, there was no risk, so I decided to put it down before leaving. Over the next several days, I made a few visits to the dealership to make sure it was truly the right vehicle for me. I even brought my son back so he could test drive it and give it another look. Rob was very patient and accommodating through the entire process. There was one visit where I became quite frustrated and was honestly tempted to walk out. I was simply trying to keep the car on hold and needed to leave so I could get my son home to study for an exam. However, either Mr. Hurt or his manager, Shomari, kept attempting to run my credit and finance the vehicle through their system even after I explained that I would be securing financing through my credit union. That part of the experience felt unnecessarily pressured, and I did express my frustration to Rob. One interesting feature of the process was their high tech system where you go into a private room and complete a virtual meeting to review warranty options and sign paperwork electronically. That was actually a pretty neat and modern experience. During the process, I received an email from Service Director Mr. Bowlin asking how everything was going. I replied honestly and explained the frustration from my most recent visit, but unfortunately I never received a response. I was eventually able to finalize the deal and complete the purchase. Rob was wonderful throughout the entire process, and I truly do not believe he was the one pushing to run my financing through their banks. That was simply the impression I got. Within a week of purchasing the vehicle, the car alerted me that it needed an oil change. I reached out to Rob to ask if the dealership might take care of that in good faith since I had just purchased the vehicle. He checked with the service department and told me they could perform the service, but that I would be charged for it. Personally, I feel that a large, reputable dealership should at minimum ensure the oil is fresh before selling a used vehicle. Shortly after that, Mr. Bowlin emailed again asking what they could have done differently to earn a five star review. I responded and shared the same concerns mentioned here. Unfortunately, I never received a reply to that email either. Overall, the experience was a positive one, largely thanks to Rob's patience and professionalism. A side note worth mentioning (in my opinion) is there are positive affirmations in the restrooms and Christian music playing in the building. My only disappointment was the lack of follow up when I shared concerns and gave the dealership an opportunity to address them. For that reason, I'm leaving four stars instead of five.
