Claire Schumacher

Claire was amazing. She was so helpful and patient throughout the whole process. She contacted me over the phone and was able to have what I was looking for ready to go when I got there. Ask for Claire she will get you what you need.

The staff, starting from salesperson Claire to management is the best. This dealer makes the vehicle buying process very pleasant & honest.

Claire was helpful and knowledgeable, she made my experience wonderful.

This is a people friendly place, very easy to get a great OTD price. Claire the sales representative answered all our questions, she made the entire transaction easy and fun.

Thanks a lot Claire

I had a great experience working with my salesperson, Claire, during the car-buying process. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to walk me through every detail of the vehicle, making sure I felt comfortable and informed at each step. What really stood out to me was how easy and straightforward the negotiation process was - no pressure, just honest and clear communication. I truly felt like we were treated fairly and got a great value for our trade-in. Overall, Claire's professionalism, knowledge, and approachable style made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel smooth and positive. I would absolutely recommend working with her!

From the moment we walked into Annapolis Nissan, Claire Schumacher set the tone for what a truly professional car-buying experience should feel like. She wasn’t pushy, she wasn’t rushing us — she was knowledgeable, patient, and completely focused on making sure we understood every detail. Claire took the time to walk us through every feature of the vehicle, explained all the options clearly, and answered every single question we had without hesitation. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients making the right decision, not just making a sale. What impressed us the most was her commitment. We were originally scheduled to come in on her day off to finalize everything and were fully prepared to reschedule so she would receive full credit for her hard work. Instead, Claire came in on her day off to personally make sure everything went exactly as she outlined from the beginning. That level of dedication is rare. Claire represents what customer service is supposed to look like. Professional, detail-oriented, honest, and dependable. Annapolis Nissan is fortunate to have her on their team. If you’re buying a vehicle there, ask for Claire Schumacher — you won’t regret it.

Purchased a used 2011 Nissan Xterra in great condition at a good price. I'm out of state so wanted to make sure it was worth a trip. Was sent Carfax report immediately upon request; arranged a LemonSquad pre-purchase inspection with no problem. Settled on a price with Claire S. via email contingent on my personal inspection and test drive. The transaction went very smoothly. Claire even drove me back to the dealer from dropping off my rental car. Loving the vehicle.

Working with Annapolis Nissan was fantastic the team there especially Claire are knowledgeable and a joy purchase a car from!

Had a great experience with purchasing my Nissan Murano. Claire was very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. Would purchase all my vehicles at this location. Thanks staff for your great service!!

I had a really nice experience buying my Nissan. Claire Schumacher was fantastic.She didn’t rush me at all. She was super patient considering I changed my mind a couple of times. My next vehicle will be a Nissan.

We purchased our Nissan Pathfinder in September 2024. Claire was with us every step of the way and was both patient and supportive. Because it’s new technology we did have a few questions. On one occasion we were out of state and there was a tech challenge that we did not know how to solve, I sent a video to Claire who came back with the solution. So grateful to have her expertise and support. We highly recommend her.

I visited this dealership, and my consultant was Claire. She was incredibly patient, professional, and honest throughout the entire process. Although I wasn’t able to find a car that was the perfect fit for me—simply because my dream car wasn’t in the current inventory—Claire went above and beyond to understand my needs and find possible compromises. What really stood out was that she never pressured me into buying something I might later regret. Instead, our conversation remained pleasant and genuine, even when we were discussing different viewpoints during the negotiation. I’m also very grateful to her manager, who sincerely tried to offer me the best possible financial terms and was even willing to go below market value after understanding my situation. It’s rare to find a dealership where the staff truly care about the customer experience rather than just the sale. I deeply appreciate their professionalism and empathy—this is definitely one of the best places to visit if you value honesty and respectful communication.

Amazing customer service. My salesperson, Claire is really helpful. She guided me through the car buying process. She is very straightforward as is the sales manager Nick. Very glad to make good business with them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire went above and beyond to make my car buying experience the best one yet. From the moment we started talking, she was incredibly easy to connect with—no pressure, no salesy vibe, just genuine conversation and helpful insight. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made sure every detail was handled smoothly. Her dedication, patience, and friendly attitude made the whole process feel effortless. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way, Claire's your go-to. Highly recommend! RV

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a wonderful experience working with Claire at Nissan of Annapolis! From start to finish, she made the entire purchase process easy and stress-free. She was knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to answer all of my questions. Claire’s customer service was outstanding—she truly cared about making sure I was comfortable and confident every step of the way. This was by far the smoothest car buying experience I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be happier with my new vehicle. If you’re looking for exceptional service and a great overall experience, I highly recommend asking for Claire!

Great sale. Claire made it easy! When I came in. Quick and out the door in under an hour. Gave us all the details. Would recommend buying a car here

Claire was friendly, knowledgable and got us a great deal on our vehicle. The whole team at Annapolis Nissan made us feel very welcomed.

Claire sold us a 2023 used car and it was fast and easy. Will definitely recommend her to everyone looking to buy a car!

Easy to work with, price negotiation made a difference, team went out of their way to find me a discount of $500 as a military retiree. Of note the managers and Claire stood out with courtesy and no pressure.

Just purchased a new 2025 Nissan Pathfinder - team at Annapolis Nissan was awesome! Claire took me on my test drive and was excellent at explaining all of the features. The whole purchase process was quick and easy - highly recommend Annapolis Nissan for a great new car purchase experience.

Claire was so helpful! Helped me find the right vehicle and didn’t bs me, definitely recommend!

Claire Schumacher was extremely detailed and knowledgeable of the many types of cars and features to I looked into. She was. Very friendly, warm and welcoming. Chuck Thompson worked diligently creating the best deal possible to get me into the right vehicle for me. I would recommend family and friends to Annapolis Nissan.

Wonderful experience! Claire was very helpful and worked with me on getting a car!! Highly recommend

Claire really knew the car well and was very good at presenting all the new features. We wanted a model without a moon roof, and she was able to locate one for us. Great experience!

As a first time car buyer Claire was an amazing lady to work with. She was very helpful, understanding, and patient with helping me out to get the car that I wanted. I really appreciated how she went out of her way to help me look for an insurance rate that was a best fit for me which she didn’t have to do.

Recently purchased a Pathfinder. The sale consultant was Claire Schumacher and she was awesome. She spent plenty of time going over the details of the truck and was very knowledgeable. She was very easy to relate with and I would recommend her highly. I have only had the vehicle for a week and I absolutely love it thus far!!

Ask for Claire—she’s awesome! I submitted a request for info through the website on a Sunday evening and Claire called me the next morning. She is very responsive, knowledgable, and helpful! We had a good test drive; Claire knows a lot about the vehicles she sells. She ensured my concerns were addressed and answered all my questions. She also brought out snacks while I was waiting my turn with finance—very thoughtful as it was dinner time. Rodney was also friendly and helpful during my visit, and Chuck in finance was great, showing me all my options and closing the purchase to my satisfaction. One week later, and I was back with Claire to put the new tags on my vehicle. She also helped me figure out some of the features—I left extremely happy once again. Everyone I encountered at this dealership was wonderful and showed great customer service. Go see Claire, you will not be disappointed!

I have previously purchased 3 vehicles at Annapolis Nissan (formerly Bayside Nissan) and always had stellar service from sales and the service department. This last time, we were looking for a larger vehicle for our growing family and Claire took so much time to explain all the different possibilities and send us options that meet our needs. She found us the perfect SUV within our budget and took time to show us all the features of the car. If you go to Annapolis Nissan I would highly recommend working with Claire, she is patient and extremely understanding. It was a positive experience all around and we can't wait to trade my husband's car in next!

I bought a Toyota Camry from Annapolis Nissan this weekend and had an awesome experience!! Claire was amazing and so helpful during the car buying process, especially as a first time buyer!

I purchased a 2022 Nissan Versa last week through Claire. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. The response time via text on questions prior to visiting was immediate and the cars I wanted to see were pulled up to the front when I arrived. Claire was extremely knowledgeable & accommodating. I also had the pleasure to speak with the Sales Manager Rodney and work with Chuck on the financial aspect. This car buying experience exceeded all of my expectations

The Only Dealership around DC Worth the Drive - ESPECIALLY for an Ariya EV. There are 2 types of people who buy cars: the ones who go in to browse, and the ones who already know what they want. There are also 2 types of sales departments: the ones who refuse to give you any info over the phone so you come in, and the ones who just tell you what you need to know. I knew I wanted an EV, and contacted Ford, Lexus, Nissan and Toyota dealers. Rodney was the only Sales Manager between DC, Frederick, and Baltimore who was willing to give me all the numbers I needed over the phone, and without pulling teeth. Hearing “it’s easier to go over pricing in person” makes ZERO sense if I tell you I live over an hour away Rodney even came down on the price 2 days later (again, over the phone) because he knew I was driving past other Nissan dealers to get to his and wanted the process to be efficient. We set up all numbers before I got there so I could get right into the car and go for a test drive when I arrived. This is reason #1 to choose Annapolis Nissan. When I arrived I met Claire, who truly knew her stuff about the 2023 Ariya Evolve+ AWD. My husband and I have bought 4 plug-ins in the last 6 years. Every single time the sales reps had to either get a manual or ask someone else to answer our questions, but not with Claire! She was far and away the most knowledgeable salesperson about EVs in general. Coming from a Prius Prime, there is so much more usable space and the finishes do not feel cheap or plastic. Claire took time to point out the mechanical points and differences we needed to know. It was because of her that I felt comfortable making the switch from PHEV to a full EV. If you’re nervous, talk to Claire! Reason #2 to choose Annapolis Nissan. On the drive home my husband fell in love with the Ariya. We originally wanted to keep at least 1 hybrid for longer trips, but before we even get home he decides he wants one for himself. Unfortunately the 1 Ariya left in Annapolis was Northern Lights - it can look straight up purple, green, or black, depending on the angle - a very love it or hate it paint job(see photo). My husband wanted to go to a closer dealer that had a black Ariya, but wasn’t happy with the sales rep over the phone - just give us the price, I beg of you Cars are a huge expense and I don’t believe in giving a sale to a mediocre rep just because they’re close by. Incredibly happy with my purchase, I explain all this to Rodney and Claire. They’re eager to work with us again and negotiate so my husband can live with driving a multicolored car. Reason #3 to choose Annapolis Nissan. I tell my husband to leave the other dealership and we go back to Annapolis, buying 2 Ariyas in 2 days. I know most places are willing to negotiate to close a sale but honestly, the customer service at this place was top notch from the very first touch point. Annapolis Nissan was up front with me over the phone, didn’t try to give us the run around, and put us with an experienced EV sales rep. If you’re looking for an EV don’t bother with anyone else around Maryland, just make the drive to Annapolis Nissan, it’s worth it!

I had an outstanding experience. Claire was exyremely knowledgeable and a joy to deal with. I felt like a Celebrity, everyone was so nice and friendly. You can definitely tell they work as a team to deliver a great experience.

Went to look at a used Infiniti QX80 ended up purchasing a 2020 Certified Pre-owned Armada instead. Had a lot to do with the very helpful saleswoman Claire. She knew the vehicles very well and was low pressure and very accomadating. The other staff from the sales manager to Chuck the finance guy were great. I would highly recommend.

Claire in sales was fantastic! Made my shopping experience easiest time I've had spending money on a big purchase.

Claire Schumacher and the Nissan team were amazing. A few tears were shed but in the end..she was patient and understanding and the deal was done. Thank you to the Nissan team for helping make a stressful time easier! I would recommend Claire without a doubt!!❤

Claire was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was courteous and very knowledgeable. She not only gave us details on the vehicle we purchased, she called one of her colleagues over who had more experience with that brand. On top of that, she brought out another vehicle that we were considering so we could compare. We greatly appreciate her help and would gladly come back again.

Annapolis Nissan provided excellent customer service and met my requirements during my latest purchase. Claire (Sales) had been working with me for several months to find the Z I wanted and is truly knowledgeable of the products she is selling. She guided me through the process and made it nearly effortless on my part. Chuck (Finance) worked with me to meet my goals and even found a slightly better rate than what I had when I walked into his office. This was an outstanding experience on all counts and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Thank you to Claire for assisting me in my purchase today !! I did not have the best credit, but she worked with me, provided me all possible options and I came out of the dealership with a SVU like I was hoping for, for my growing family. Thank you for all that you did for me today!

Amazing , beautiful experience. I felt like they really tried to help me get the best and and Chuck exceeded my expectations. Claire was super nice and made the test drive so comfortable. Thank you nissian Annapolis.

Claire was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to assist us in the car buying process. The whole dealership is top notch.

In all my years of car shopping, Claire has been the most detailed car sales rep I have ever worked with. She was patient, courteous, and kindly walked me through all the features in my new vehicle without the feeling of being rushed or pressured. Additionally, our finance rep (unfortunately can't recall her name, but she was a caucasian female), also did a phenomenal job. She was super friendly to our son, and she explained all of the service packages in great detail. We will highly recommend our friends and family to visit Annapolis Nissan, specifically because of the excellent customer service provided by both of these ladies.

Claire was amazing ! So helpful, so knowledgeable, so relatable and most importantly- NOT pushy. She was very patient with answering all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we got what we wanted.
