I just got back from HGreg Tampa, and if you want a masterclass in bait-and-switch tactics, this is…read moreyour place. These guys don't sell cars--they practice what I'd call the Art of Blowing Up the Deal. I walked in after finding a vehicle listed at a reasonable $20K. Test drive went fine. Ready to move forward. Then the numbers came out--and I honestly had to rub my eyes to make sure I was reading them correctly. That $20K magically turned into $26K. Not because the car changed--because the fees did. Let's break it down: ~$1,721 in sales tax (fair enough) $500 for a license I didn't need (I have valid plates) $1,299 "Pre-delivery service fee" (aka dealer padding--easily 2-3x higher than typical in the area) $899 "Electronic Registration Filing Fee" (which many dealers charge $0 for) $198 doc fee (fine--but then what exactly is the $899 for?) And the crown jewel: $1,721 "Elite Protection Plan" -- presented as mandatory That's nearly $6,000 in added cost, almost 20% on top of the vehicle price. Pure margin creation. We tried to negotiate--nothing moved. Suddenly, what looked like a good deal became completely average at best. So we walked. Then--predictably--as we were leaving, the sales rep chased us down. Now the "mandatory" warranty could be waived. Interesting how "mandatory" disappears the moment you head for the door. But even then, the rest of the inflated fees remained, so we kept walking. Let's be honest about what's happening here. This pricing model is designed to trap less-informed buyers--especially those who may be focused on monthly payments instead of total cost. Bundling in things like a "mandatory" warranty makes financing easier for subprime buyers at who-knows-what interest rates. We were cash buyers, so the game changed quickly once they realized they couldn't leverage financing. Bottom line: Know your numbers. Know what's real and what's noise. And be ready to walk--actually, run. I genuinely look forward to the day when direct-to-consumer models like Tesla become the norm and eliminate this kind of nonsense entirely. At the end of the day, consumers have a choice. If you agree to these terms, that's on you. But don't say you weren't warned.

He is a very…read moretrustworthy, kind and very reliable business owner, looking to earn your business and keep you coming for more..! I've been looking for an used car and checked 10 cars at a few different dealerships in 3 days, and everywhere I went, the dealers had some "extras", some .."car service" they've done outside of the advertised priced, the usual BS and so now you had to pay for it, like it or not. But not with Jimmy. He isn't your average overly aggressive or sleazy snake oil salesman, that gives a bad name to many dealerships ..you know - the one breathing on your neck and pushing you to buy the car. Jimmy was very nice, relaxed and patient, allowing me to talk and ask questions. He answered any questions about the car, educated me on things I didn't know - what to look for in an used car and then left me to look at the vehicle and take photos. Eventually we went test driving without any pressure and rushing. He not only had a great price tag on the car I liked, but was very honest about the fees and there was nothing "extra" hidden in a small text. And since I am moving out of state in a few days, Jimmy advised me on the out-of-state transferring process, thus saving me bunch of money on the registration of the car. He is a very down-to-earth, honest, hardworking fellow, owning a small business and who works very hard (..including his son Cory) to keep a great name for himself and he's know for his honesty and great priced vehicles. I would buy more cars from Jimmy in the future, but I am sure the car I got from him is in such a great shape, that I probably won't see him for a long time.

Was blown away by how busy these guys were and how nice their lot looked, especially for just opening up. Love the Big Red Barn... what a landmark?!?!?! The quality and selection they had was pretty impressive, especially compared to what I was finding at many other local independent dealers. Met with Ron Reese personally, who is the owner here. Not only did he work out a heck of a deal but he was one of the most upfront and genuine people I think I have ever met on a car lot. Really appreciated his approach and time. Definitely check these guys out as they have been nothing but good to me and I know how hard it can be to find someone you can really trust out there. These are all good people out of Kentucky and their down home genuiness will fit right in here in the Riverview community.

Based on reviews I read beforehand, my experience ended up being very similar. I did not purchase a vehicle, and here's why. First, it took about 10 to 15 minutes just to get assistance and have the car brought out. The staff didn't seem organized. The salesperson helping me appeared to be juggling multiple things at once and almost forgot about me and another couple waiting. Second, the condition of the vehicles was disappointing. The car I test drove was dirty, and it wasn't just that one. Most of the cars on the lot looked like they hadn't been properly cleaned or prepped. That already gave a bad first impression. Third, while sitting in the car before driving, I reviewed the Carfax. The vehicle had a reported accident on June 15, 2024 involving a sideswipe with damage to the right rear. It was listed as minor damage, but there was also a note about prior structural repair, specifically around the rear wheel housing. When I asked about this, I was told they don't really have to disclose damage like that. That response alone made me uncomfortable. Whether that's technically true or not, transparency matters when someone is making a purchase like this. Trying to downplay it and then saying other dealerships operate the same way didn't help. Fourth, during the test drive, the salesperson kept directing me to make right turns only. That stood out to me. I chose to make a left turn instead just to see how the car handled differently, and it seemed to catch him off guard. That raised concerns about whether they were trying to control the route to avoid certain driving conditions. Overall, between the lack of organization, the condition of the vehicles, and the way concerns were handled, I wouldn't recommend this dealership. The prices may look attractive, and they don't negotiate, but you get the sense that the target customer may be someone in a rush or not fully aware of what to look for. For context, I'm not someone who enjoys leaving negative reviews. I try to be fair and honest. But this experience was surprising enough that I felt it was worth sharing for others to be aware.

I brought my C300 in for service, upon picking the vehicle up I noticed the right, front passenger side wheel and tire was not in the same condition as when I dropped it off. After several attempts to have the wheel and tire repaired due to their negligence during the after service test drive (that we didn't opt for or was told it would be driven), unfortunately Trevor refused to make this right. Additionally, I asked to see the before pictures and video that was mentioned on the phone, but was told there wasn't any. Any time a car goes in for service, a detailed report is completed by the technician, but I was told they do not do this. That's a bit concerning to me. Needless to say, be careful getting your car serviced here.
