I took my Chevy Corvette to the Chevy Dealer to have my air conditioner fixed. I dropped it off first thing in the morning like they told me and it took them four days to tell me they can't fix my car because it was a discontinued item. That's not a good look when the Chevy Dealer can't fix the type of cars they sell. I kept trying to get a hold of Krista in the Service Department the person I first dealt with and that was a joke. She doesn't return calls or text messages. I'm very upset about the situation and most definitely disappointed. I won't be taking my car there again. read more

My husband Kenneth and I purchased two new cars a 2025 Corvette and Silverado truck in May. We bought both vehicles from Ryan Luth, Sales Consultant, his knowledge and expertise of the vehicles were very impressive. We are very pleased with our vehicles and the fantastic customer service we received. We recently went back to purchase a reliable used car for our son and we purchased a Tesla. Ryan was very helpful and continued to provide his excellent customer service. The Sales Manager Justin was very helpful to ensure we were able to get a great price, he is very impressive. This was our third purchase in a short period of time and he made the process easy. Jonathan Reth approved the purchase, I was very impressed with the way they worked together as a team to assist us. I would definitely recommend Ferman new or used cars. They have a great staff of experienced experts who care about their customers. If you're looking for a dealership that delivers excellent service and an easy car-buying experience, I highly recommend Ferman Chevrolet! Thank you, Lorena Woods read more

I had my vehicle serviced today at Ferman Chevrolet and the hospitality that I received from the staff was wonderful. Thalia went out have way not only to make sure that I was okay while I was waited but she was pleasant and right on time with the snacks I also have to make mention of my awesome advisor & Assistant Service Manager Jeremy Quintana who keep me in the loop of what of every step of the process. He was very open about everything, the good and the bad, and was also honest with me about the time that I could expect the service would be completed. Thank you Jeremy for going above and beyond Sincerely, Dan Jackson read more

Extremely dishonest service department. I had a 10:00 AM appointment yesterday for an oil change and tire rotation package, using a $104.00 coupon. While they changed the oil, the service technician completely lied about doing the tire rotation. They marked the job as completed, but I had proof that the tires were never touched.I had to bring the evidence directly to the Service Manager. To his credit, he apologized and credited me back $88.00, but the refund doesn't excuse the blatant dishonesty. If I hadn't checked their work and proved they skipped the rotation, they would have happily taken my full payment for a job they didn't do. It makes you wonder how many other paying customers this technician is lying to who simply don't catch it. Check your vehicles carefully before leaving this shop. read more

Bought a new 2025 corvette on line 4 weeks ago. Dealer delivered car, signed papers and gave them a check. They were going to mail us a copy of all the paper work. We have called the dealership 4 times and left messages in regards to this and no one will return the call, Horrible customer service and follow through. Making a visit in person tomorrow and it will not be pleasant. read more

Unprofessional, Deceitful, and Completely Incompetent Service Department I brought my vehicle in for a warranty repair with an appointment scheduled days in advance. Upon arrival, my vehicle sat for 45 minutes without a single staff member acknowledging my presence or checking me in. I had to physically flag someone down to get service. My assigned advisor, finally approached with zero explanation or apology. This initial failure set the tone for a grueling 3.5-week ordeal for a repair that ultimately required only one single day of actual labor. Keep in mind I was a service tech, advisor, AND manager in Tampa. I have handled hundreds of warranties in both fields, there's no excuse. Throughout this entire month-long process, communication was non-existent. I never received a single update; every piece of information had to be dragged out of the department by calling and texting repeatedly. When I did manage to get through, I was met with extreme attitude, defensive behavior, and was routinely cut off mid-sentence. The handling of the warranty and rental process was equally absurd. My advisor repeatedly delayed progress, claiming he was "on hold too long" with the warranty company and would try again the next day. Frustrated by the delay, I called the warranty company myself and was connected to a live agent immediately, exposing a complete lack of effort on his part. When it was confirmed that my coverage included a rental vehicle, my advisor refused to assist with the logistics, instead giving me a phone number and telling me to figure it out myself. The absolute breaking point occurred after the mechanical work was completed. My advisor claimed the vehicle could not be released because they were "waiting on the warranty payment to process." I called the warranty provider directly, who explicitly confirmed that the dealership had not even submitted the final closing documents required for payment. They were holding my vehicle hostage over a paperwork bottleneck caused entirely by their own staff's failure to upload an invoice. Compounding this error, I called the dealership after my advisor, went home without updating me. Another employee stated the vehicle was ready for pickup. I paid out of pocket for an Uber to get to the dealership, only to be turned away at the counter by management because the paperwork they lied about sending had still not processed. I was forced to wait in the service drive for 30 minutes, stranded, while staff members were overtly rude, making condescending comments like, "Trust me, I know who you are." I attempted to escalate these issues multiple times. I requested a change of advisor and a callback from management through a receptionist; both requests were ignored. I left multiple voicemails for the service manager that went completely unreturned. When the Service Manager finally answered, he offered a generic, dismissive apology and immediately defended his staff's behavior. I was also told I would receive a full tank of gas because that's the "least they can do" my tank is still half full, another false promise. This establishment demonstrated a complete lack of integrity, zero operational communication, and an utter disregard for their customers' time and financial out-of-pocket costs. They are a completely broken, toxic department from the top down, operating on a foundation of laziness and lies. If you value your time, your money, and your self-respect, do not bring your vehicle to this service department. read more

I was in Florida on vacation when my 2018 suburban started over heating in the transmission so we took it to Ferman Chevrolet. They said a couple hours to look at it with no promises of fixing it the same day long story short 2 hrs to look at turned into 8hrs and they still hadn't called me to tell me anything about my vehicle. I had to call them and it was ready for me to pick it up 45mins after I dropped it off along with that they proceeded to tell me that my transmission was bad and that It was going to cost 9k to fix it. I took it to a transmission company and they told me nothing was wrong with my transmission that it was the thermostat that goes to the transmission on this model and 700$ and 1500miles later I'm back home driving my truck everyday. Long story short don't believe these guys they are cons looking to rob somebody. read more

Called Ferman to have both blender door motors replaced due to noisy operation. The operator handling the call forwarded all vehicle information to the service department and then advised me the repair would be no problem and scheduled the appointment for 8:30AM. Knowing that traffic is always a problem on I-4 at that time I allowed 1 hour for the normally 30 minute trip. Traffic was unusually bad and I called ahead to say that I would be up to 15 minutes late. The operator said to cancel the appointment and reschedule. I asked to talk to Andre the service advisor who advised me they could not even work on the vehicle due to age. Additionally, I was told parts were no longer available. I went to another dealer who actually had them in stock where I purchased 2. After speaking to the service manager at the other dealer, it was agreed that they would install the parts. It was a very disappointing and frustrating experience not to mention a complete waste of 2 hours adversely affecting my entire day. My understanding is that Ferman was the best Chevrolet dealer in Tampa but I think this certainly is not the case here. Unfortunately, I have sustained the consequences of a disorganized incompetent company. It just too bad that some people are more thoughtless rather than speechless. If ratings were in degrees instead of stars Ferman would be in the 30 below zero range. read more

Poor is an over statement. I have a brand new 2025 Chevy ZR2, 9395 miles. Bought it Ferman and service at Ferman. Had an issue with windshield washer sprayers failed. Ferman advised that they are NOT COVERED under warranty. Bumper to bumper PLUS extend warranty. Nope not covered. Its past7500 miles so its not covered. They say because water contaminated the line. Now mind you, i just put wiper fluid, no water, in unit as they were not spraying so I assumed its empty. So whatever WAS in the unit was there from.Ferman on delivery, not done by me. But its the waters fault. Not that the 7500 short mileage should be covered. No. Not covered. Then there's the tech package. On Star quit working as did nav system. As part of all this the advisor advises the tech checked it all and it's working. I get to service and he brings the truck. OnStar is not working even when he is sitting in seat himself NOR is the nav system. I asked him if he was lying then to me.or was the tech. Now I sit in thier waiting area bc he took back to the tech again. Stand by for part 2 i guess. ​ read more

Price gouging at its best. Do not let them pressure you to come in.

We took our Silverado for service and the courtesy of the employees is outstanding. We were directed to the right place by them. The courteous treatment provided by Andre was awesome. He took care of my request and explained the procedure. Once that the repair was completed he contacted me with the details and explained the job done in our truck. Andre is very professional, caring and knowledgeable advisor. I would recommend Ferman Chevrolet's services anytime. read more

This place kept my car for 3 weeks and tried to scam me saying that it was just going to be 10 hours to undo everything and see what was wrong with it and tried to tell me my catalytic converter needed changing. Took it somewhere else and was a small part for like 2 hours of labor. read more

I bought my car from them less than two years ago, in 2022. I decided to go with a 2017 Buick that was supposedly "just fixed" and had passed all the inspections they claimed to perform before handing it over to customers. At first, the car seemed great. There was a noise, but I figured it was normal for a sports car. As the months went by, that noise grew louder and louder. A year into owning the car, I had no choice but to take it in because the noise was unbearable. Turns out, I needed to replace the exhaust VVT sensor, the intake VVT sensor, and both front wheel bearings, which cost me around $1,100. To say I was furious is an understatement. I don't drive the car much, and I take good care of it. For these issues to pop up just a year after buying it is absolutely outrageous. I called the dealership, hoping for some resolution, but instead, they tried to upsell me on a car with terrible reviews. By this point, my car had already lost so much value that I reluctantly decided to keep it and pay for the repairs. Big mistake. Now, I've had to take the car back to the mechanic because the A/C system has completely failed and needs to be replaced. On top of that, the catalytic converter and gasket are damaged due to internal failure, which is going to cost me another $4,000--not to mention other issues that keep piling up. I understand that cars break down and need repairs, but I bought this car less than two years ago. I'm still paying high monthly payments for it, and it has cost me over $5,000 in repairs--more than the car is worth now. To add insult to injury, it doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it yet. The car was clearly sold to me with underlying issues that the dealership either ignored or deliberately failed to disclose. This has been a complete nightmare, and I feel taken advantage of. Selling a car in this condition is unacceptable. This dealership oversold me a broken car, and I've been stuck paying for their dishonesty ever since. read more

Just stay away. Everything is a hustle. Literally everything. The service is terrible. The attitudes are terrible. Everything is twice as much as it should be. They're mad that you show up.

Mohammad was hands-down the most immature, condescending, and embarrassing salesperson that I've ever encountered. I arrived on-time, we had a great test drive, and I learned about my financing options. But when I told him that I wanted to take the day to fully consider my decision, Mohammad reacted like a toddler. He told me to leave the dealership and snatched the price sheet from me. Before I could get out the door, I heard him ranting and throwing a tantrum in the lobby. From the moment we sat down, I was 100% upfront about my intention to review multiple vehicles and not rush into a big purchase. Once he realized he couldn't pressure me into a 20-minute sale, his mask came off. The next day, I purchased a vehicle from a different dealership with salesmen who happily agreed to let me take the weekend to consider my options (and they let me keep their price sheet, lol). I want to be super clear - I really liked the car I test drove at Ferman, and the *only* reason I made my purchase elsewhere was because of Mohammad and his weird, pushy, unprofessional behavior. If you want to deal with a salesperson who acts like a petulant child the second you don't cave to kindergarten pressure tactics, then by all means, visit Ferman. Otherwise, save yourself the second-hand embarrassment and stay away from this snake pit. read more

We have purchased two vehicles with Ferman and unfortunately our business with them is done. Over two hours for an oil change, consistently. Advisors do not return calls or voicemails. The final straw was being lied to about a repair cost. I specifically asked the amount and if that included labor, was given a price. Finally got the vehicle in for repair after the advisor didn't return my calls and the price was double after the repair, of course. Nothing added on he just lied. Other customers were complaining as I was getting my quote. That should have been my clue not to continue business here. read more

BEWARE !!! I have purchased 2 new vehicles; a Camaro and Silverado and I will NEVER buy from them again. Stay away from CHRISTIAN FRIEDMAN (SALES) as this young man is a fraud and does not follow up on calls or texts, only days later and now does not respond at all. I have never been treated with such disrespect. The sad part about this, is I am sure the owners do not read the reviews here or even care after they worked hard for years just to leave everything in the hands of an incompetent sales staff. read more

We brought our car in for repair and a oil change at ferman chevy on Monday August 5th the lift gate on our Chevy traverse stopped working and I'm in a wheel chair and we need an operational lift gate we advised our service advisor merrick that we had an extended warranty policy with our car insurance policy that would pay for the repair that our part was a 250 dollar deductible and of course we would pay for the 75 dollar oil change we were responsible for. We were contacted by Merriick late Tuesday afternoon that our car was ready when we reminded him of our car repair policy he said and I quote that he didn't know about the warranty policy and he hoped that it would cover the repair at this point we arrived Wednesday at about noon to pick up our car when my husband was getting the wheelchair out of the back of our rental another service rep told us that he would advise merrick that we were there well after waiting an hour for merrick to come out he never did nor did he respond to the text message that we sent I'm not sure which customer service class that ferman Chevy sends their employees to but I don't care to be treated this way so we left and we have not been contacted since . read more

Had an incredible experience working with their GM, Brad Wise, and his amazing team earlier this month. Everyone was very pleasant to work with and completely focused on helping me.

Truly a first class group. Highly recommend!!! read more

Ferman Chevrolet worked on my Chevy 3500 from 3/1/2024 until 1/1/2025. (Fuel Pump) They returned it multiple times with new or worse issues until returning it 10 months later with the fuel injectors they just installed blowing out of the motor. They also installed 3 fuel pumps ( 2 failed) and a new fuel system (14,000 dollars later. Roughly half that cost was in Labor.) GM resolution team involved throughout all this. Just the name won't actually resolve anything for you. Here are photos of the tools left in my hood. Trash left in my air intake. A diesel leak. A coolant leak. A completely unbalanced tire (notice there's no weights.) This is a minor amount of what I went through in the 10 months. They replaced both front tires charged for balancing and alignment, but never did. All while spraying fuel out down the interstate. Was nearly suicidal to drive. Trucks 13000 lbs . Dealer is likely to hurt somebody . After replacing the entire fuel system, it came back, telling me there's water in fuel they put in. Truck is still not fixed and management just won't call me back. Do yourself a favor. Don't buy a Chevy. If your Unlucky enough to already have..take it anywhere but here. read more

Purchased two vehicles from dealership after total loss from hurricane Ian. First purchase went great, put a hold on second vehicle that was unable to be sold due to recalls. When car became available sales department was unable to retrieve 2nd key and car manual from a locked office. Was provided a "we owe" statement and told items would be mailed. After not receiving them I followed up and was told they would mail parts to 2nd key. Finally had opportunity to make my way back to Tampa to have key made and they're refusing to do it. Purchase agreement was that 2nd key and still unreceived manual were owed to me. Dealership had originally missed the 30 day time frame and had not mailed me the owed items. I had to request for items. read more

And the nightmare continues! Day 6 and they still have not returned my $18k down payment and still without a car because I can't buy one if I don't have money. I posted a review on 12/30/24 with most of the details when they sold me a $30k truck with a bad transmission, tried to tell me it was my problem and I would just have to deal with it. After hours of arguing with them I returned the truck. I was going to cut my losses, be done and not say anything. When I say my loses, I mean 3 days of work without pay, thousands of dollars and other people's time, money and gas to drive me from Jacksonville to Tampa TWICE! But they still have not returned my money and I have lost 4 new car deals because of this. This was supposed to be my children's big Christmas gift. My daughter was going to get my car and my son and I were going to share a truck. Here we are at the first of the year still with no car, all the good deals gone and I still do not have $18k of my hard earned money. I am a single mom trying to do the best that I can by myself for them. I have made so many sacrifices to save that kind of money and these people COULD CARE LESS about the situation they put me in. These people have treated me and this situation so poorly. I have made COUNTLESS attempts to speak to someone in management to be ignored. So my nightmare continues. read more

I been in this dealer since 2017 and it's been a nightmare specially on service, every time I bring my 3500 diesel they never finish it the same day even if I dropped early morning for a single tire replacement, DONT COME HERE FOR SERVICE !!!!

I still coming here because I bought all my warranty's here last thing that they did to me was that they recommend me that all my steering parts are falling apart and need urgent attention (I'm a mechanic and every single part of my steering it's been replaced by me ) I don't really know how they still on business . read more

My family and I came into the Brandon location on Saturday, May 24, 2025, to purchase a vehicle. The sales rep was excellent, very kind and very helpful. We were assigned a Finance Manager Jose Acevedo who was very distracted by his phone (he was texting the entire time while he was supposed to be explaining paperwork). We did explain to Mr. Acevedo several times, we didn't want to purchase anything additional for the vehicle, because the insurance coverage she has, included what Mr. Acevedo was trying to sell (warranties, insurance etc.). We also explained this was my daughter's first time purchasing a vehicle. My daughter purchased a 2019 Nissan Altima. The original price was $17300.0(I believe it was $348.0) The price was reduced to $17,100.00. We explained she is paying $7000.00 as a down payment, so her total price for the vehicle should be $10,100.00. Mr. Acevedo agreed. Mr. Acevedo had my daughter to initial 2 places and he states, " by initialing this, you agree that we (Ferman) will not repair the scratches and dents that are currently on the vehicle". She agreed and initialed. Once returning the documents Mr. Acevedo stated, " Thank You and enjoy your car" We then had to remind him the $7000.00 down payment wasn't received. Although the paperwork Mr. Acevedo printed out stated the $7000.00 was received (maybe if he wasn't texting, he would have caught that) We called Ferman the next week, after reviewing the documents. One document shows the balance owed on the vehicle is $24k. The other document shows the balance owed is over $14k. We spoke to Mr. Jose Acevedo who became agitated with my daughter and I because we were questioning the documents. He asked us to come in and the paperwork would be changed On Thursday, May 29, 2025, we went back to Ferman (Brandon Florida Location) to correct the paperwork. While speaking to Mr. Acevedo, he started yelling at me and my daughter. We both asked him why he was being so hostile, when we are trying to have clarity. He then began yelling again, then he yelled for the salesman that assisted us. I walked out of his office and went into an office where other employees were to ask if I could speak with a manager, before I could make my request Mr. Braxton Simmons asked the Salesman "Why are they yelling at you" I then states no-one is yelling at him, however your employee is yelling at us. Another saleswoman states "Yes that's Jose yelling at them" Mr. Braxton Simmons then said to me I will be with you shortly. Mr. Acevedo walked into the office, sat with Mr. Simmons and spoke with him while we were being ignored. read more

My tailgate switch wasn't working on my 2023 Enclave. When I came in ,I was told I needed an appointment, thought they would at least check to see what was wrong. I came back for my appointment a week later. They checked it and told me I needed a switch and would call me when the part came in. Two days later the call with the part, that was a Wednesday. Gave me an appointment for Oct 4 TH at 9. A.M. Appointment means a slot is set aside for my repair.. WRONG I got shuttled home ,my Buick was ready by 2P.M. .

My husband and I had a great experience with Jeremy Quintana in the service department. We had purchased a used chevy silverado about 4 weeks ago and had it for only 2 weeks when the engine started knocking (lifts were appearing bad). We had it towed back to the service department of Ferman and tried to contact someone who could help us. Most people we spoke with were a bit vague about what to do or even where the car was, but after we spoke with Jeremy, he went outside and walked through the lot looking for the car. He was communicative and helpful and called us when he located the car. This eased our anxiety and Jeremy was so professional and communicative and understanding through the process. read more

I had contacted several Chevy dealers in our surrounding area and could not find the right deal that I was looking for at that time. Luckily, I came into contact with Rebecca Wilson and she made all the difference for me. Process went extremely smooth, and I could tell that she really cares about her customers. I will absolutely 100% contact her the next time I am looking for a vehicle. read more

Andrew Frost with sales was great, however he was the only thing positive about my car buying experience. Their "corporate" office that handles paperwork is the most unprofessional outfit I have ever dealt with. I called on three different occasions and never had my voicemail returned. I tried following up with the finance manager and he never got me an answer. It took me taking time out of my day and driving to speak with the sales manager to get what I needed. I then found out that whomever handles their registration didn't listen to the multiple corrections I made as to what government agency issues my tags. Through their ignorance I was assessed sales tax twice, then told if I wanted the money back from the state (my vehicle is registered through a Native American tribe) that it would be my responsibility to apply for the refund. read more

If I could give 0 star I would. This dealership will scam you out of your warranty return and anything they can get from you. This was the most unpleasant experience I ever had buying a vehicle. After selling it back to them, its been 6 weeks and I have yet to receive my warranty check return that I am guaranteed in writing. Trying to get a hold of anyone in the finance department is a pain because they ignore you if they can't make money off you. Disrespectful staff and entitled culture here. read more

I've been leasing a car from here and was made a lot of promises as far as customer service by the representative that sold it to me. Once I signed the lease agreement, found out that he no longer works here. I'm hoping to save you some time with this review. I had a frustrating experience today. I had an appointment for an oil change and event with the appointment and arriving on time, I was there for just shy of three hours - for an oil change! When I first arrived, a representative checked me in and said he would get someone to help me. I sat in my car for thirty minutes before he came back to tell me that the worker assigned to me was on his lunch break. This doesn't make a lot of sense when the service department is the one that scheduled the appointment time. After two hours I went outside to check on the status and was told that a printer was down and they did not add the oil to my bill and that I would have to go back inside and wait. This isn't the level of customer service I was promised when I purchased the vehicle and I'm unfortunately counting down the day until my lease ends so I don't have to return here. I would highly recommend seeking out a difference place for your car service needs. read more

HORRIBLE. I had to give 1 star to leave a review. They are completely unprofessional. They don't care at all about the customers at all nor do they care about the safety of their customers.
