Brent made my car-buying experience a breeze. He was patient, taking the time to understand my needs and preferences. Our test drive was informative and enjoyable - his enthusiasm for the cars he sells is infectious! Thanks to Brent I drove away with my dream car at a fantastic price! He's for sure who you want by your side when navigating the car-buying process. Starlette, the finance manager is so kind, and a joy to work with, she made the paperwork process smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism and efficiency were impressive!

Ivan (our salesman) was professional with no pressure or gimmicks. He worked hard to acquire the best financing and stayed engaged with us until the deal was sealed. John (the manager) worked with Ivan and us to facilitate the process to completion. Starlotte was a big help with all the paperwork. She is very personable and detailed. OneStep Niceville offers exceptional service with a friendly and courteous vibe. Would definitely buy from them again.

OMG! This was the best buying it car experience i have ever had. From Brent checking with me while i was sitting in my car trying to pull up the car i wanted to look at to him showing me all the cool features it has. Everyone was so helpful and not at all pushy. They really want to help you get in the right car for you. Brent listened to what i needed in a car and what my price point was. In the end what i needed was the key factor. I love my car.

Mr. Jim Hicks was absolutely AMAZING. I upgraded from a 08 honda accord to a 2018 and it was my first time buying a car (by myself) and he was so patient and understanding with my situation, and even after I bought the car we stayed in contact because he wanted to make sure everything was okay with me and the car. I ABSOLUTELY recommend buying from this dealership whether it be your first car or 5th, and I definitely plan on coming back whenever I need another upgrade. Best experience EVER, thank you Jim!!!

After totaling our only vehicle a month ago, Step One Niceville was the only dealership that deliberately helped with getting us a car. A special shout-out to Starlotte, the sweetest and nicest woman who helped with our application. Mr. John showed us the vehicle and answered any questions we had about the vehicle. We could not be any happier with our purchase and the service we received. 10/10 recommend and we will be back in the future for our second vehicle purchase.
