Reviews for Top Rated Dealer in Destin, FL at Elite Jeeps

Hands down the best team in the region! Obviously they're a business and need to make a profit, but their prices, communication skills, trade-in offers, etc. are unparalleled / second to none! I truly cannot say enough good things about them and their operation they're running. I bought a JL from them and asked for the matching 5th wheel in the deal, no problem at all -- they wanted to provide what I wanted in my first Wrangler. Turns out they couldn't get ahold of the match so they made up for it by allowing me to pick all new wheels on them. I also brought the Jeep back to them for a 2.5 suspension lift with front and rear trac bars and their install prices beat others in the area by several hundred dollars. If you're considering it, just go! Elite Jeep is truly Elite.

I have to start by saying, the owner of Elite Jeeps, Jeff, has earned five stars for going above and beyond to make our situation right. Unfortunately, we bought a Jeep that just had way too many issues, unbeknownst to us and Jeff. I thought I had found the perfect low mileage 392 Jeep Wrangler online at Elite, and when my husband and I saw it in person, we were immediately in love with it. The initial purchase experience with our salesman Russ was pleasant and easy. I could easily say one of the best I’ve ever had. At the time of purchase, we did express concerns to Russ that some lights were flashing intermittently on the dash. Russ put us at ease about it and said it was likely a sensor, no big deal, and the Jeep was still under factory warranty. This made sense at the time and a bad sensor seemed plausible. Things got pretty rocky not long after we drove the Jeep off the lot with dash lights flashing, breaks grinding and vibrating, wheels locking up while turning, and the situation just kept snowballing from there. We immediately made an appointment to take it in to a certified Jeep dealership for evaluation hoping it was just a bad wheel speed sensor. The verdict was that the Jeep was deemed too dangerous to drive in its current state and it needed an ABS module to correct all the issues. We were told it would take 6 months or more to get an ABS module because it is on “galactic back order” and “not currently being manufactured.”Took the Jeep to a second dealership for a second opinion and got the same opinion and outlook. Attempts to reach out to the salesman/manager Russ during all this to let Elite know what had happened weren’t very productive and communication with Russ turned sour pretty quick (that’s where that one star went 😢). When the owner Jeff found out the issues we were having, he immediately got in touch with me to come up with a solution, which included reversing the sale or bringing the Jeep back to his shop for a look. At this point, the Jeep had been in 2 different dealerships for virtually the duration of the 1 month we owned it, but we really didn’t want to give up on it so we opted to let Jeff give it a shot with his shop. After having no further luck at Elite’s shop and finding ourselves completely over the stress and the financial loss the Jeep caused us, we opted to return the Jeep to Elite. Jeff was gracious enough to give us back what we paid for the Jeep and was very apologetic for all that had happened. Jeff is a great guy and an awesome business owner and my husband and I are extremely grateful for his ethical business practices and his willingness to take the absolute best care of his customers. I’ve always heard wonderful things about Elite Jeeps and that’s why I was more than happy to buy a Jeep from them. I just happened to get a rare dud, but I can say, I know several people that have purchased from Elite and they have had fantastic purchasing experiences and are still happily driving their Jeeps.

I just traded in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler and bought a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys they found for me. From start to finish, this has been the most pleasurable experience I have ever had buying a vehicle. If you want a quality Jeep for the right deal, this is the place to come.

I recently purchased a vehicle from Elite Jeep, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked into the dealership, I was met with outstanding customer service. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right car.What impressed me the most was the transparency and honesty throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand my needs and budget, and I never felt pressured into making a decision. The team at Elite Jeep truly went above and beyond to ensure I was getting the best deal possible.As for the vehicle itself, I couldn't be happier. The selection at Elite Jeep was extensive, and I found exactly what I was looking for. The car is in excellent condition, both inside and out, and I feel confident that it will serve me well for years to come.If you're in the market for a used car, I highly recommend visiting Elite Jeep. Their exceptional customer service, combined with a great selection of vehicles and competitive pricing, make them stand out among the rest. Also, one of the quickest car buying experiences I have ever had. Thank you, Elite Jeep, for making my car buying experience such a positive one!

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their team upgraded my JTR with a new 2" lift with bead-lock wheels, tires, and a Warn Zeon winch. Everything was installed flawlessly and they look great. I would highly recommend them for purchase and upgrades. Thanks Elite Jeeps!

Hands down the best automobile buying experience i have ever had.

I have bought, sold and had jeeps modified at Elite Jeeps and have always found Russ to be fair, reasonable and helpful

Easiest trade-in and purchase ever. The first number he gave me for my trade was one I had not been able to even squeeze out of dealers in our area that wanted to low-ball it. That in combination with the fair price on my new Grand Cherokee resulted in us in and out of the dealership (on a busy Saturday) in less than two hours with no back and forth. Thank you Russ!

Excellent work sourcing parts and doing the install to customize my Wrangler. Highly recommend them. Very knowledgeable.

Knowledgeable and accommodating

Incredible service. I'm not from Destin but my sons Jeep was having some mechanical issues so I stopped in. He knew exactly what tje problem was, scheduled an appointment and had it fixed same day. Highly recommend! Thanks Elite Jeeps! Clint from Ga!

Best car purchase ever. Russ and the staff helped us create exactly what we wanted and never once made us feel pressured. It was pretty amazing--thank you so much for treating us like friends and not just another sale. Would recomend them to anyone looking for an incredible Jeep and experience!

RUSTY AND CHRIS ARE LIFE SAVERS! OUR COMPANY WORK VAN HAD A NAIL IN THE TIRE AND WE NEEDED IT PATCHED IN A HURRY. I CALLED AT THE END OF THE DAY ON A TUESDAY TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE TIME THAT DAY AS WE NEEDED THE VAN TO INSTALL THE NEXT MORNING. I KNEW THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD TRY. THATS ALL I COULD ASK FOR, AND THE NEXT MORNING THE VAN WAS BACK IN OUR PARKING LOT! TIRE WAS FIXED AND WE WERE ABLE TO START OUR WORK DAY AS USUAL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF US FAST AND I'M SURE IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST. WE HERE AT DESTIN GLASS ARE GREATFUL FOR THEIR EXCELLENT SERVICE!
