Ms. April Jackson was excellent throughout our experience at Group 1 Acura Sugar Land. We actually came to the dealership with no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day. The plan was simply to browse and look at our options. However, our experience with Ms. April ultimately convinced us to move forward with a purchase. She was incredibly kind, sincere, patient, and professional, and we never felt pressured or rushed. Her genuine approach made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision.

Ms. April Jackson was excellent throughout our experience at Group 1 Acura Sugar Land. We actually came to the dealership with no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my experience with the finance department. During the final paperwork, we were asked to complete the transaction using a touchscreen that was lagging and becoming frustrating to use. My daughter asked Diane/Diana in finance why there was not an option to use paper or DocuSign, as we have done at other dealerships. Her response was a sarcastic, “Because technology has advanced,” which she proceeded to repeat three times.
The tone and response were unnecessary, condescending, and disrespectful. A simple explanation would have been sufficient. We have purchased vehicles from many dealerships over the years, and I have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism from a finance department. If I were judging Acura Sugar Land solely based on this interaction, I would not return or recommend this dealership to others.
Thankfully, Ms. April’s professionalism, sincerity, and kindness made a significant difference in our overall experience. The fact that we walked in only intending to browse and ultimately purchased a vehicle speaks to the quality of service she provided. She is truly an asset to this dealership and the reason I would consider returning in the future. If I do return, I would only want to work with Ms. April again.
Sterling McCall Acura in Sugar Land, TX, has been my go-to car dealership since it opened. The service is excellent no matter if it is for regular servicing or state required emission inspection. The staff is always extremely courteous and attentive and the shop always gives your a good car wash as part of the service. I’m a customer for life or as long as I still own the Acura MDX.
